'''Painless Black Wolf''' (born December 11, 1959) is a "tall black wolf with blue eyes, big white teeth and a long red tongue". He is also a writer, and one of the founders of the Colorado Furs.

Painless was born in North Carolina and moved to Boulder, Colorado in 1981. After a 15-year relationship with [[Bobby Heartsong]], Painless awakened as 'himself' in November of 1999. In 2000 at the pair's first visit to the Mephit Fur Meet, Bobby met [[Jaden Heartdancer]] and they fell instantly in love. Painless is not a Wolf to stand in the path of True Love and 'gave Bobby away' to Jaden at that pair's [[Pawfasting]] at a subsequent MFM the following year. Out on his own, Painless moved in with a close friend, Syrrh and in 2002, Painless finally asked [[Grifter Timber Wolf]] whom he had known as an online friend for over a year, to be his Mate. The couple spent ten years together before marrying legally in 2013. They are an inseparable pair. Painless and Bobby remained close friends until Bobby's untimely passing after a long illness on March 15, 2014. Painless maintains his friendship with Jaden, someone he has always seen as a brother in fur.

'''Grifter Timber Wolf''' (born August 30, 1981) is the author of the story series ''[[Wolves of Fortune]]'' and ''[[Roads of Fortune]]''.

Born in [[:Category:England|England]], the option for citizenship in the UK was available until he reached the age of 18, but raised nationally with [[:Category:United States of America|American]] parents he decided to retain his US citizenship. A graduate of [[wikipedia:Charlotte High School (Punta Gorda, Florida)|Charlotte High School]] in [[:Category:Florida|Florida]], Grifter left his home at the age of 18 and moved to [[wikipedia:Orlando, Florida|Orlando]], Florida and into a life of his own. His personality varies, but usually ranks near the top of the social chain, with the exception of new crowds in which he may feel outcast and shy, he is generally a warm and friendly person. He has a passion for writing and has limited but capable abilities in art, a fondness for acting and creation of stories contributes to the two novels he has created.

He currently has a career in tech support and lives with his mate [[Painless Wolf]], with whom he has been since 2002, near [[wikipedia:Denver|Denver]], [[:Category:Colorado|Colorado]].

== Stance on the furry fandom ==
Grifter has always had a respect for people who have found the animal spirit within themselves and have truly claimed their connection. Media and stereotypical "furry" behavior has provided skepticism on a few furs, but as a whole, he finds it a welcoming and open community. For the few furs who find being 'Furry' a ''trend'', a ''fashion'' or a ''phase'' he feels pity. To him, being a fur is a way of bringing out your true colors. These types of furs bring a frown on the community, especially if they go so far as to call the culture a ''fetish'' outlet.

== Furry discovery and form ==
Around the year 1997, the first glimpses of the [[furry community]] were discovered by Grifter who was surfing the internet for one of his first times. The first page coming across was the page named "Werewolves in Suburbia" which led him into [[FurNation]] and the webpage of Singe the demon. It was shortly afterward, that he related his passion and love of the [[Wolf (species)|wolf]] and combined it with a human for his furry form.

Grifter Timber Wolf (Or Grifter T. Wolf as his signed name) was born. A tall [[werewolf]] standing over 7' in height, as of recently has been brought down closer to his human height of <nowiki>5'5''</nowiki> his [[fur]] is a silvery gray color with a white underside leading from the bottom of the [[muzzle]] down to between the thighs (inside) he has a tuft of hair that he has grown out. The color is a slightly darker, almost smoky gray color that travels down to the small of his back. It is mostly, but not always tied into a single long [[tail]] by a blue band near the base of his skull, and a second near the end of the tail. His tail, more reminiscent of a [[fox]]'s tail is colored white at the end, while the remainder of the body is his normal fur color, there is no specific connection to the white between his legs and the white on his tail. He is a [[digitgrade]]/[[plantigrade]] hybrid, his heels only being slightly off the ground, and pads toward the front of his feet.

As of 2014, in memory of a close friend [[Bobby Heartsong]], Grifter's hairstyle changed slightly. As Bobby wanted to color the bangs of his hair, Grifter now possesses white hair on his bangs (platinum hair IRL)

==Future Projects==
As of 2014, Grifter and [[Jaden Heartdancer]] are working on a project concerning a comic reboot of his books Wolves of Fortune and Roads of Fortune, in which they and Painless Wolf take on fictionalized versions of themselves to save the world from evil.

The project is a work in progress; a Kickstarter will be opened when it is ready to go into production. (presumably by mid-2015)

A mighty black cloud descends upon the island, and they find that its none other than a resurrected Abysno who is the brunt of the attack. In order to defend Painless and Grifter, Shard and Taiho use their powers to hold the enemy at bay while the wolves make their escape. Succeeding in their escape, Abysno quickly takes Taiho and Shard's powers, seemingly destroying them in the process. His rage causing the two remaining Guardians to be separated in the portal back to Earth. This destroys Grifter's Eye of Neptune, which he used to open the portal and he is deposited on another world named Limbros.

Roar teams up with Grifter and gains the silver scepter, and the powers of Air that come with it. Together they defeat several enemies, even attaining the doubling power of Gemini for the lion, before discovering Painless, who had been enshrouded with darkness since Grifter and he separated.

Wolves of Fortune

2007-10-24T18:47:12Z

Griftertwolf: /* Spinoff Series Synopsis */

'''''Wolves of Fortune: Reign of the Black Diamonds''''' is an original series of short stories of 7 - 12 pages each in length by [[Grifter Timber Wolf]], containing fifteen short stories written between the years 2004 and 2006 in which three friends use the power of nature and their own beliefs as [[furries]] to transform and use the powers of the elements to defeat evil.
{{cleanup}}
==Synopsis==

Four warriors rise to their legacy as they claim the powers of the elements in order to defeat the reign of the Black Diamonds. The Black Diamonds are used to summon monsters deep within the hearts of ordinary people, the purer the heart the more powerful the enemy. Three guardians begin the story and gain a dragon as an ally from a former enemy. They learn of six elemental guardians, their ancestors that give them their power. The elements are Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Light and Shadow.

{{spoiler}}
Traveling to Egypt, Painless uncovered the plot of five different people to use the diamonds to summon forth their master Shroud from the darkness, inadvertently he awakens to the witness of Painless, who is staked up as a sacrifice to the dark lord. Painless breaks free and escapes only to come across a green [[scepter]] buried in the sand and with it two others, one red and the other blue. He receives a message from his ancestor, delivered as an illusion through his mind and gains the ability to [[transform]] into a black wolf with the powers over the element of Earth. He barely manages to escape the construction of an enormous dark temple in the middle of the desert. After he escapes back to the United States, his mate Grifter senses something happened and in his distraction their jeep is thrown over by a woman who was turned into a giant monster by one of the Black Diamonds. Painless attacks, but finds his powers are useless against her, Grifter finds the blue scepter and it responds to him, allowing him to transform into a gray timber wolf, the Guardian of Water teams up with his mate to destroy the diamond and return the woman to normal. The third Guardian, Taiho is uncovered when he is attacked by his mate who was possessed by a black diamond in a ploy to lure the two others out into the open. Instead, when the red scepter reacts, Taiho transforms into the red wolf and Guardian of Fire.

The trio decide to leave their home in Colorado and travel to the home of Grifter's grandmother in Smithon, Illinois, along the way they have more encounters with their enemies and after they get there, Grifter learns his grandmother knows more about their situation than she had ever let on before. She gives Grifter a talisman called the Book of Tides that furthers their power when they are able to summon weapons from their own talismans, uncovered throughout their adventure. In a plot to turn Grifter against his friends, and take revenge on a fallen General, Mever, the remaining of the Glass Twin Sisters uses the power of darkness to turn Grifter evil. Witnessing this, and seeing the torment suffered by his father, Shroud at the hands of the main antagonist Abysno, the dragon defects to the side of the Guardians and awakens as the Guardian of Air and Light, taking his place as rightful leader of the wolves. Eventually the three of them turn Grifter back to the right side and they destroy another of the Generals. A powerful spell sends the Guardians to four different points of time and space in the set of four stories called "The Road Divided." Shard gains a love interest in medieval England in a woman named Emily, though she is not mentioned in the rest of the stories. Taiho stops a band of outlaws in the Old West who were responsible for the deaths of an Indian tribe. Painless finds his way through a dark maze of booby traps and deadly encounters in a mid eighties cavern, and Grifter looses his memory then regains it in time to stop the villain Toxic, leaving him trapped in a human body and asylum when they encounter each other in some distant future.

Upon returning to the present, the Guardians find that Shroud had taken over the entire planet during their absence, and inevitably destroy the house that had been given to Grifter by his grandmother before she died. They launch a strike against them, and Shard encounters his weapon; the Lance of Zeus and uses it to fight and defeat his father, trapping Abysno in a crystal hopefully for all time. Due to the massive destruction of the world, the Guardians use their elemental powers to turn back time, reverting everything to a point before the diamonds were discovered. With Abysno, the source of the diamonds trapped, the diamonds were never encountered and an alternate history is produced instantaneously. To avert a paradox, the Guardians witness as alternate versions of themselves continue their normal lives, and they themselves are transported to another dimension in which they can live in an elemental paradise for all time.

==Heroes/Powers==
;'''Painless Black Wolf'''
''Guardian of Earth - Cries Jade Crystal Power to Transform''

The initial leader of the Guardians and the first to awaken. He has the power of the Earth and with it he intensifies his own abilities to be grounded to the planet. He has a very serious attitude and concerns with his friends, especially his mate Grifter in getting too involved. He can always be counted on to pull out all the stops in a fight.

''Initial Spell:''
Leaf Bomb Explosion: Creates a kinetic ball of energy in which leaves are pulled into it and he launches at his enemies, it explodes on impact and can cause heavy damage.

''Talisman:''
Saturn Ring: A divine ring which can be responsible for incredible feats of strength.

''Weapon:''
Daggers of Hestia: A Powerful Earth Based Weapon

''Weapon Spell:''
Earthquake Fault Line ''never used'': Can shake the very earth, causing tremors to throw enemies from their feet.

;'''Grifter Timber Wolf'''
''Guardian of Water - Cries Sapphire Crystal Power to Transform''

Riddled on the line of maturity and naivety, Grifter is usually the most ambitious in a fight. His attacks, unlike Taiho's though are planned out and he does recognize the consequences if he fails. He's incredibly patient and his family is a centerpoint in his life, constantly surrounding him, especially when he goes to Smithon, near where he initially grew up. His favorite color is quite obviously blue, and he can be very serious in a fight. He is the only one who has shown his weapon power.

''Initial Spell:''
Surf Hydro Plainer: Forming an arc of water in front of him, Grifter can launch it at his targets, slowing his enemies down.

''Talismans:''
Eye of Neptune: A blue amulet which contains a great deal of power, including teleportation, the ability to detect trouble with the other guardians and holds the source of the weapon powers.

Book of Tides: A spell book given to Grifter by his grandmother, it tells the story of their ancestors as well as gives them insight into their powers.

''Weapon:''
Poseidon's Trident: A spear with three prongs on the end, used as the most powerful weapon of the sea.

''Weapon Spell:''
Spinning Typhoon: Spinning the trident in front of him creates a vortex of water which attacks the enemy in front of him. It's extremely powerful and is used only once in the story series.

;'''Taiho Redwolf'''
''Guardian of Fire - Cries Ruby Crystal Power to Transform''

Quick tempered and strong, Taiho is the embodiment of a Fire Guardian. He is often defiant, even insulting his spells by having to call them out. His attacks are some of the most powerful and he has an invulnerability to fire. His human form is red haired as his wolf form is red furred, the clash of his fiery outfit on his red fur often confuses the similar colors, making him look always like a burning flame.

''Initial Spell:''
Burning Trail, Ignite: Throwing his fiery fists in front of him, Taiho creates a helix-like stream of fire at his enemies.

''Talisman:''
Mars Bracers/Talons: Provides extreme protection from physical attacks and increases his reaction time as well.

''Weapon:''
Ares' Sword: A powerful slim bladed sword which is in its soul the very essence of fire.

''Weapon Spell:'' ''never used''
Flaming Tongue: The sword turns into a blade of fire which can be whipped out at enemies up to 300 yards away.

;'''Shard Dragon'''
''Guardian of Wind and Light - Cries Silver Crystal Power to Transform''

Very stern and strict, a rare joke will come from Shard's mouth during the darkest times to lighten the mood. The only Guardian to awaken with one element and obtain a second element; the power of Light. He used his skills as a warrior as opposed to his spells therefore they were never used in combat and he was the last to find his weapon; the Lance of Zeus. He can be romantic when he falls in love and is sentimental, but does not allow that to get in the way of his judgement. He's hard and a proven warrior.

''Initial Spell:'' ''used once no incantation''
Silencing Updraft: Using his power he could create a powerful field of air around him which threw outward to all surrounding enemies.

''Talisman:''
Dragon Stone: A stone of pure silver light which grants Shard both his weapon and his powers over the hidden Light Element.

''Weapon:''
Lance of Zeus: Formed from the heavens and infused with the force of light and air, this lance is the most powerful weapon ever created.

''Weapon Spell:'' ''never used''
Raining Thunderbolts: Raising the staff high into the air summons hundreds of thunderbolt strikes down upon a field of enemies.

==Villains==
'''Abysno'''
The hidden antagonist of the story, first introduced solidly in "The Way of Things" story. Found to have corrupted Shroud, the original Guardian of Shadow by using his powers and twisting it to darkness, Abysno is responsible for the black diamonds. It is said that his body is made up of these gems, they are both his greatest strength and greatest weakness. He was imprisoned by Shard when he obtained the Lance of Zeus. He is vile, slick and cunning and always finds a way to escape from such confinements.

'''Shroud'''
Shard's biological father, Shroud had been buried with the black diamonds for centuries before the human reincarnations of his five Generals (including his son) brought him back to life. Shroud is cruel, cold and emotionless, and to the very end he follows all of his master Abysno's commands. He was once the Guardian of Shadow, but betrayed his comrades and turned to darkness. He was killed when Shard caught Abysno

'''Talos'''
A gryphon sorcerer who could control who the black diamonds could infect. He gained a serious level of power, but was destroyed when Grifter obtained his Poseidon's trident and hit him with the Spinning Typhoon spell. He connived against Shroud constantly, always intending to take over the dark kingdom that he had built.

'''Mena'''
Older than her sister Mever by two minutes, Mena was the first General to be truly destroyed when Painless hit her with his Leaf Bomb. She was vicious and constantly plotting over her sister to destroy the Guardians, Mever tended to serve as a leash to keep her sister's cruelness from taking them to the grave.

'''Mever'''
She had been the more sensitive than her sister, she was most likely to turn to the side of good, but seeing her sister destroyed pushed her mind over the edge, making her prone to hallucinations and paranoia. She was finally defeated when she went in an all out attack against all the Guardians at once.

'''Toxic'''
Originally a vicious and nasty drooling [[werewolf]] with poisonous blood that attacked Painless full on the night Shroud awakened. He was destroyed by the black wolf, but his spirit lingered on, eventually finding the corrupted, decaying soul of Grifter's ex, Hunter merging into something more insane, more sentient and a lot more deadly. The only one of the villains who did not meet his demise, Grifter and him fought in the future and upon his defeat, he was left there to rot for an eternity in an insane asylum.

==Synopsis==

Four warriors rise to their legacy as they claim the powers of the elements in order to defeat the reign of the Black Diamonds. The Black Diamonds are used to summon monsters deep within the hearts of ordinary people, the purer the heart the more powerful the enemy. Three guardians begin the story and gain a dragon as an ally from a former enemy. They learn of six elemental guardians, their ancestors that give them their power. The elements are Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Light and Shadow.

{{spoiler}}
Traveling to Egypt, Painless uncovered the plot of five different people to use the diamonds to summon forth their master Shroud from the darkness, inadvertently he awakens to the witness of Painless, who is staked up as a sacrifice to the dark lord. Painless breaks free and escapes only to come across a green [[scepter]] buried in the sand and with it two others, one red and the other blue. He receives a message from his ancestor, delivered as an illusion through his mind and gains the ability to [[transform]] into a black wolf with the powers over the element of Earth. He barely manages to escape the construction of an enormous dark temple in the middle of the desert. After he escapes back to the United States, his mate Grifter senses something happened and in his distraction their jeep is thrown over by a woman who was turned into a giant monster by one of the Black Diamonds. Painless attacks, but finds his powers are useless against her, Grifter finds the blue scepter and it responds to him, allowing him to transform into a gray timber wolf, the Guardian of Water teams up with his mate to destroy the diamond and return the woman to normal. The third Guardian, Taiho is uncovered when he is attacked by his mate who was possessed by a black diamond in a ploy to lure the two others out into the open. Instead, when the red scepter reacts, Taiho transforms into the red wolf and Guardian of Fire.

The trio decide to leave their home in Colorado and travel to the home of Grifter's grandmother in Smithon, Illinois, along the way they have more encounters with their enemies and after they get there, Grifter learns his grandmother knows more about their situation than she had ever let on before. She gives Grifter a talisman called the Book of Tides that furthers their power when they are able to summon weapons from their own talismans, uncovered throughout their adventure. In a plot to turn Grifter against his friends, and take revenge on a fallen General, Mever, the remaining of the Glass Twin Sisters uses the power of darkness to turn Grifter evil. Witnessing this, and seeing the torment suffered by his father, Shroud at the hands of the main antagonist Abysno, the dragon defects to the side of the Guardians and awakens as the Guardian of Air and Light, taking his place as rightful leader of the wolves. Eventually the three of them turn Grifter back to the right side and they destroy another of the Generals. A powerful spell sends the Guardians to four different points of time and space in the set of four stories called "The Road Divided." Shard gains a love interest in medieval England in a woman named Emily, though she is not mentioned in the rest of the stories. Taiho stops a band of outlaws in the Old West who were responsible for the deaths of an Indian tribe. Painless finds his way through a dark maze of booby traps and deadly encounters in a mid eighties cavern, and Grifter looses his memory then regains it in time to stop the villain Toxic, leaving him trapped in a human body and asylum when they encounter each other in some distant future.

Upon returning to the present, the Guardians find that Shroud had taken over the entire planet during their absence, and inevitably destroy the house that had been given to Grifter by his grandmother before she died. They launch a strike against them, and Shard encounters his weapon; the Lance of Zeus and uses it to fight and defeat his father, trapping Abysno in a crystal hopefully for all time. Due to the massive destruction of the world, the Guardians use their elemental powers to turn back time, reverting everything to a point before the diamonds were discovered. With Abysno, the source of the diamonds trapped, the diamonds were never encountered and an alternate history is produced instantaneously. To avert a paradox, the Guardians witness as alternate versions of themselves continue their normal lives, and they themselves are transported to another dimension in which they can live in an elemental paradise for all time.

It is said that his body is made up of these gems, they are both his greatest strength and greatest weakness. He was imprisoned by Shard when he obtained the Lance of Zeus. He is vile, slick and cunning and always finds a way to escape from such confinements.

'''Shroud'''
Shard's biological father, Shroud had been buried with the black diamonds for centuries before the human reincarnations of his five Generals (including his son) brought him back to life.

'''Mena'''
Older than her sister Mever by two minutes, Mena was the first General to be truly destroyed when Painless hit her with his Leaf Bomb.

'''Mever'''

'''Toxic'''
Originally a vicious and nasty drooling [[werewolf]] with poisonous blood that attacked Painless full on the night Shroud awakened. He was destroyed by the black wolf, but his spirit lingered on, eventually finding the corrupted, decaying soul of Grifter's ex, Hunter merging into something more insane, more sentient and a lot more deadly. The only one of the villains who did not meet his demise, Grifter and him fought in the future and upon his defeat, he was left there to rot for an eternity in an insane asylum.
