One With The Pack [Werewolf, Literate, Yaoi.]

[Rufus_Shin-Ra]

The Story So Far...

The people that have just moved into the house at the end of Cominko Boulevard are not your average men. They aren't even men, in fact; they're what you might call "werewolves".

Most active during the late afternoon and evening, they play together, hunt together, and sleep together. And they absolutely do not, under any circumstances, bring home outsiders. They can't afford to let anyone know what they really are, lest they be hunted down and killed. Or, worse yet, captured for experiments.

They follow the rules of the wolf pack, even in their human lives: the alpha pair hold the dominant position while the omega wolf is the runt of the group. All they want to do is live a quiet life, but how long can they make the peace last?

Humans & Werewolves...

This is a roleplay where you can play either a human or a member of the pack.

Pack members all take on human forms for the majority of their lives in order to blend in. They have the ability to turn fully into wolves, or to just display their ears, canines, and tails while maintaining an otherwise human appearance.

The humans in this story can be neighbours, coworkers, or classmates. If a human is, by chance, accepted into the pack, there is no way to turn them into a werewolf. They will remain human, and will likely hold a position near the bottom run of the pack.

The Pack...

The wolf pack has a clear-cut structure.

The alpha mated pair are at the top of the rung. They have the most freedom to do as they like, and are usually the most aggressive and dominating. They will also mate with pack members of a lower rank.

The beta mated pair are just below the alpha pair. They get a decent amount of freedom in their actions and are fairly aggressive and dominant. They act as a second-in-command when the alpha pair is away. They will also mate with pack members of a lower rank.

The rest of the pack (we'll call them Gamma males) are males that:
a) are too submissive to challenge the alpha or beta pair, or
b) are former alpha or beta males, or
c) are looking to eventually set out on their own and make new packs.

The omega wolf is the male at the very bottom rung of the chain of command. He is often picked on by the rest of the group, and acts as the housesitter when everyone else is out. This is usually the youngest of the pack.


The werewolves can shift between human and wolf form at will. They are not forced to change at night or whenever there is a full moon. They may feel a strong urge to change into wolf form for mating, but they can resist that urge. They can also decide to do a partial shift and lengthen their teeth and claws, or allow their ears and tails show. This, of course, is forbidden in front of humans and is usually only used in altercations between pack members or when mating.

Wolves have a very keen sense of smell. Being werewolves, the boys can mark their territory and belongings by rubbing it against their skin. This lets other members of the pack (and other animals, as well) know that the item or territory has been claimed. They can also identify outsiders by scent if they have met them before or come in contact with something that might carry their scent.

Howling is also an important part of wolf communication. In the case of the werewolves, who are trying to remain inconspicuous, howling is reserved as a distress call -- something to let the other pack members know that one of their own is in serious trouble.

The Rules...

1. This is a YAOI roleplay. That means men loving other men. If you can't deal with that, then leave now.

2. Obviously, romance is encouraged; however, keep things PG-13. Take your conversation elsewhere if it starts to get risky.

3. Please be literate. Mind your spelling and grammar. Post at least two paragraphs and be descriptive. Past tense, third-person writing.

4. No god-moding. If this has to be explained, you probably can't roleplay very well, anyway.

5. If you're going to be away, please let me know so that I can put up an announcement. There's nothing worse than waiting for someone to post, only to find out they're going to be gone for a week.

6. Please be active. If you can't manage at least a few posts a week, if not one post a day, please find another RP to join.

7. Don't post your profiles on this board. PM them to me. You will be able to post once I have accepted your application and added it to the Accepted Characters post below.

Quote:

Hey there. My name is Lexington Moore.
I secretly think I'm Rufus_Shin-Ra.
I'm a Sub-Alpha male in my pack and
I'm 25 years old. My blood type is AB-.
I'm an employee at The Rendez-vous, a night club. I'm a bouncer there.
When I'm not playing with my pack, I like to sleep.
They don't always let me have this, but I most like to eat spanakopita.

I look like:
[Pic] Long, ashy-brown hair cascades in unruly waves around a slender, lightly-tanned face. Standing at six feet even, Lex cuts a bit of an intimidating figure with his stern gaze and muscular form, reminiscent of the lean, fighting build of a warrior. His eyes are a honey-edged blue, almond shaped, and set beneath eyebrows that are almost always furrowed, and his thin lips, tawny-pink and inviting despite his off-putting demeanor, are usually pulled into a frown.

He stalks, more than walks, his posture and body language speaking more of aggression than a demure disposition, but it's contained behind a pleasant exterior of observant intelligence. He usually wears a denim jacket with a black undershirt and jeans, preferring the comfortable wear to something more restricting.

My wolf form has these colorations:
A lanky, lean canine, no larger than the rest, but his scruffy appearance makes him seem vicious. Ashy-gray in coloration, he sports a dark gray muzzle and his underside drifts more to the brown end of the spectrum, with his front paws being lighter than the back.

I act like:
Lex certainly wouldn't be an alpha male if it weren't for his dominant personality. He fights for what is his by right, and he fights to protect his family and territory from outsiders. Although not afraid to resort to violence in family matters, he tries aggressive posturing as a first solution, growling and baring his teeth as fair warning that he will attack if provoked further.

He is also the observant type; well aware of his surroundings, it is hard to catch Lex off-guard. If he is surprised, he will most likely react violently before realizing who or what surprised him. He is sometimes thought of as a brute, but he is actually deeply intelligent and readily absorbs information.

Lex cares greatly for his family and works hard to help provide for them. The freedom afforded to him by being an alpha male is something that he also works hard to keep, and the only one that he will take orders from (after much bickering) is the lead Alpha. Everyone else simply has to hope that what they want and what Lex wants coincides at some point.

Here are some other things you should know:
Much to his embarrassment, being suddenly exposed to bright lights causes him to sneeze.

Quote:

Hey there. My name is Liam Kessler.
I secretly think I'm oPull_the_Trigger0.
I'm an Alpha male in my pack and
I'm 26 years old. My blood type is AB+.
I'm a employee at The Rendez-vous, a night club. I'm a...stripper there.
When I'm not playing with my pack, I like to read.
They don't always let me have this, but I most like to eat Daube De Lapin.
I look like:
[Pic] Pitch black, shoulder-length hair runs straight down and over a strong jawed, tanned face. Liam stands at six foot two and his yellow eyes look all the more illuminating set behind his dark hair. Built, but not bulging, Liam has been said he is cut like a swimmer. The yellow orbs are set under thick lashes, and above that, dark brows. Although questioned constantly about the color, he just smirks and mutters something about contacts. His mouth is usually set in a straight line, but when around his pack or co-workers, keeps a small smirk upon them. With his full lips, he can look inviting, when he wants.

He holds himself up straight and proud, as if he is always up to see if anyone dares to challenge him. With glares that can cut through you like a blade, there is no questioning on why he is the Alpha. Being Alpha though comes with also knowing when and where to strike and when and where to calmly deal with something. Liam is the spokesman of the group. While others will growl or tense when someone will ring the doorbell, Liam will calmly greet the man with the Bible and tell them he isn't interested. Liam blends well with his clothes. With comfortable jeans and wife-beater at home, Liam can then slip into a suit if need be, although not his first pick.

My wolf form has these colorations:
Like his hair, Liam's wolf form is the blackest of black. But when that sunlight or moonlight hits it, the red gleams from underneath the thick nest of hair. He stands the tallest of his wolven brothers, and his size is muscled just as his. If this wolf pounces you, you'll probably be going to ER for more than a few broken bones. His howl spreads across the night, reaching the ears of all members from his large snout. When teeth are bared, his gleaming white fangs are all the more intimidating within the darkness of his form.

I act like:
He's the Alpha. And in being that, has to take every job that comes with it. The protector, the fighter, the peacekeeper. But thankfully, not all of those at the same time. Liam has to constantly keep Lex in check, tugging his hair, flicking his ear and snapping his fingers when he sense the other's anger getting out of control. He loves all his pack and would do anything for them. Liam can sometimes seem to lean more towards ''human rights'', which makes for bad arguments with Lex, but in reality, he is trying to protect and hide their little secret. Liam reminds the pack over and over that if you are going to be in society, then act like society. But when they are home, they can be themselves. Some do not remember this as well as others though. His right ear, on the top, is notched out due to a fight with Lex before the other male was set as his alpha pairing.

Liam's eyes, although usually inviting, hold a sad story. His old pack, when he was young and his father was Alpha, was found out and attacked. Lex and him fought for hours with the others, but when Liam saw the battle was beginning to not favor their side, he rounded up the young ones and got them to safety. Returning for Lex, he saw the male was wounded but still trying to fight. Grabbing his tail in his mouth, he literally had to drag Lex away. The pack now is what was left of the fight. Liam has never forgotten and is now more vigilant than ever.

Here are some other things you should know:
When he is so mad that he can't see straight, all you have to do is scratch right behind his ear or rub his feet. Liam calms instantly.

Quote:

Hey there. My name is [Ato Romulus].
I secretly think I'm [Karime Blackwing].
I'm an [Omega] male in my pack and
I'm [19] years old. My blood type is [O+].
When I'm not playing with my pack, I like to [write poetry].
They don't always let me have this, but I most like to eat [bacon].
I look like:
[Ato looks the part of the omega that he plays. He is small and scrawny, pale-skinned with big pale eyes. His hair is dark, and he has refused to cut it for years, despite some of the taunts it has brought him by the rest of the pack. If anything, he can come off as feminine in appearance. His jawline is thin and pointed, and his face is generally very oval in shape. Despite his thin frame, he's rather tall for his age, but since he has a tendency to slouch, his size is acutely disguised as long as he is in his human shape.

He tends to slink around, and walk very quietly. The clothes that he wears are usually too big for his thin frame, and are usually pale in color. Whenever possible, he goes barefoot, as he tries his best not to attract attention to himself.]

My wolf form has these colorations:
[Ato's wolf form is thin, like he is, but he has very thick, luxurious white fur makes him look thicker than he really is. Likewise he cannot disguise his sheer size in his wolf state, and he is revealed to be a very large being. His fur, like his hair, is very long and silky, and very well maintained. His snout is long and slender, but his eyes are still big, round, and generally have a 'deer-in-headlights' look in them.]

I act like:
[Ato, despite being perfectly healthy, seems to have been born without a spine. He just seems incapable of standing up for himself. He is very quiet natured, and just laughs off whatever insults or abuse he is delt. In general, he's pretty much a coward. He slinks around, does whatever anyone tells him, and tries to stay out of everyone elses way, particularly the alphas and betas.

Ato has a certain appreciation for the way the world looks and feels. He values beauty and delicate perfection, and can spend hours just sitting outside, reveling in the feel, look, and smells of the outdoors. He hates fighting, and not just because he isn't good at it. He is a bit of an idealist, but keeps his 'way of the world' thoughts to himself.

He is as much of a romantic as he is an idealist, and cares about his pack mates unendingly, despite however harsh he is treated from time to time; he knows that it's his place in the world. Despite that, however, he's never been content sitting at the bottom of the rung...]

Here are some other things you should know:
[He's tried to keep his poetry a secret, but lately he's had a habit of leaving them in places for others to find.]

Quote:

Hey there. My name is [Matthew Hughes].
I secretly think I'm [Karime Blackwing].
I'm a [Beta] male in my pack and
I'm [23] years old. My blood type is [A-].
I'm an employee at [The Local Police Station]
When I'm not playing with my pack, I like to [work out].
They don't always let me have this, but I most like to eat [strawberries].
I look like:
[Matt is almost stereotypical when it comes to big, strong silent types. He is very tall, standing at six foot six, with messy gold hair that gets in his eyes most of the time. His lips are constantly pressed into a tight line, and he has an air of displeasure around him at all times. His skin is lightly tanned, but otherwise undistinctive.

Matthew's jawline is very squared and solid, as is the rest of his frame. He can easily fit any description of 'barrel chested.' He has broad shoulders and long, muscular arms. His sheer size and obvious strength make him an imposing sight. In human shape, his eyes are a light shade of green. He usually wears a button-up shirt that he leaves open, and almost always wears the same pair of old, ripped jeans that he refuses to be parted from.]

My wolf form has these colorations:
[Matthew's marks as a wolf are very distinctive. He has a husky base, with a white underbelly and grey overcoat, with a dark streak running from the tip of his nose, down his back, and to the end of his tail. His bright yellow eyes are piercing, and stand out strikingly against the dark rings of fur around them.
Matthew has a very wide, strong build. He is stocky, for a wolf, a veritable wall of muscle. He relies more on pure strength than speed or evasiveness in a fight. His pure endurance proves a challenge for any but the most strong-willed of challengers.]

I act like:
[Matt is a very high-strung, confrontational man. He came from a different pack, which he refuses to speak of. However it is obvious that in his last pack he'd been an alpha, and is not at all used to being subservient to anyone. He will pick a fight with someone as soon as look at them, and he doesn't like to talk much. In general, Matt's speech consists of an occasional low growl at someone who has started to bug him, and on rare occasions, an entire sentence or two. However it is dangerously obvious that he's challenging the alpha, making defiant stands every so often, and occasional deliberately and outright disobeying him.

Despite Matt's gruff and angry disposition, he is capable of genuine loyalty when he deems it appropriate. To his mate, Matt is unwaveringly devoted and even protective. He will tolerate his mates less than savory habits, and speak to him if he thinks that's what his mate wants. But he can be extremely possessive, and will not hesitate to attack anyone who he thinks is making a move on his mate, even if the one doing it is the alpha himself.]

Here are some other things you should know:
[Any dispute with Matthew can be smoothed over if one offers him strawberries.]

Quote:

Hey there. My name is [Coty Harrison].
I secretly think I'm [!Skittles.and.FunDip!].
I'm a(n) [Gamma] male in my pack and
I'm [17] years old. My blood type is [AB-].
When I'm not playing with my pack, I like to [Sketching, drawing...writing and reading. Listening and dancing to music.].
They don't always let me have this, but I most like to eat [Anything sweet].
I look like:
[Coty is 5'6"...His body is slim, yet toned. Ivory skinned, with short, dark brown hair. He has the lightest shade of blue eyes one could imagine...almost transparent. His lips were the darkest shade of coral, naturally pursed. He usually keeps his hair gelled, nails clean in his human form, and is very well groomed.]

My wolf form has these colorations:
[Coty takes the form of a Tibetan Wolf. Brown hair cascades along his back and curls about his arms like a sash, fading down to the very top of his dewclaws. His eyes remain that translucent blue, allowing those who know him a true window to Coty's soul.]

I act like:
[Coty is confident (for the most part), determined when he wants something, and very strong of heart. He lets nothing drag him down. He's also very proud that he's gay, and isn't afraid to show it; especially through his manner of dress. He can be optimistic and is usually great at giving advice; When he's going through a tough time, he usually clams up with a book and thinks things over carefully, staring at the same page he started at. He loves school, making friends, and being surrounded by those he loves.]

Quote:

Hey there. My name is Desmond Carr.
I secretly think I'm Aartsengel_Zerachiel.
I'm a Gamma male in my pack and
I'm 24 years old. My blood type is B-.
I'm a games supervisor at the local casino.
When I'm not playing with my pack, I like to read, sleep, or listen to music.
They don't always let me have this, but I most like to eat pizza.

I look like:
Shorter, unruly black hair with bangs that always seem to fall into mismatched eyes, one blue and the other green. Any attempts at styling his hair fail within a couple of hours, though it never looks unkempt, just untameable. His skin has a soft hint of a tan, and he always wears a calm expression of bored disinterest, unless he’s up to something. His co-workers describe his smirks and grins as “devilish”.

Desmond stands a respectable six feet and one inch, with a lankier frame that is well matched to the business suits he must wear for work. In public he is always seen in a dark charcoal or black suit jacket over a crisp white shirt and navy or burgundy tie, black slacks, and black shoes. On his days off though, he prefers more comfortable cotton pants or Khaki shorts, depending on the weather, with a T-shirt.

My wolf form has these colorations:
A lean canine with that resembles a timber wolf with black fur blending into a lighter grey on his chest, underside, and on the muzzle. His eyes are what truly give him away though.

I act like:
Desmond has his sights set on a higher position in the pack. He doesn’t really care if it’s Alpha or Beta, but he wants it. Physical confrontation isn’t his forte, or preferred method of doing things, so he uses his sharp mind and tongue to his advantage. He plays mind games with people he’s trying to usurp, or the people he dislikes, turning them against each other and then attempting to take over if opportunity presents itself. As such, he hasn’t gotten very far.

Otherwise he’s a calm, quiet man who enjoys people watching and is very protective and caring when it comes to his family. He is often seen as aloof, or uninterested by outside observers.

Here are some other things you should know:
Desmond HATES cats. The cats don’t like him much either.

Quote:

Hey there. My name is [Keahi Jones].
I secretly think I'm [Koozle].
I'm a [Gamma] male in my pack and
I'm [26] years old. My blood type is O-.
I'm an employee at the university of medicine, where I do guest lectures about alternative medicines, and a professional potter/artisan. Where ever I can set up a blanket to peddle my wares without getting Miranda'd, that's the storefront for the day!
When I'm not playing with my pack, I like to Garden, knit, organize peace rallies, and generally take the edge off with some lovely substances I'd probably get arrested for packing.
They don't always let me have this, but I most like to eat Sambar and dosa.
I look like:
Keahi Jones. A tall man with a tough and wiry frame, he never seems exactly certain what he is going to do with himself. Though he could be, and in fact is, decently strong, his generally loose posture tends to make him look wimpier and shorter than he actually is. His broad chest and lanky limbs give the impression he is constantly unbalanced and perhaps a little unhinged. His face has even features, of which sleepy, daydreamy dark brown eyes, a slightly Roman nose and plush, softly defined lips are most notable. His ragged toffee brown hair is naturally very curly, but typically brushed out and pommaded into a 'flipped' style with bangs. He looks constantly peaceful, leaning towards content or completely spaced out. It is hard to find him without a small smile on his face: he looks as though he has some precious secret he does not plan on sharing any time soon.

In keeping with his lax and lazy expressions, Keahi moves slowly and smoothly like water flowing from one point to the next. Nothing in his stance can be read as aggressive; in fact, he'll often lay flat on his back with his stomach fully exposed, and not even care. When it comes to clothing, he's a fashion plate's worst nightmare. He wears a lot of hemp clothing that is simply too big. As a result, his shirts and sweaters often hang on his frames like sacks and he is constantly fraying the bottoms of his pants as he walks on them. He prefers undyed cloth if he can get it, and thus has a lot of earth tones in his clothing. Horrifyingly, not many of his clothes have labels, leading one to conclude most of them are homemade.

My wolf form has these colorations:
In spite of his human form's generally scattered appearance, his wolf form is quite stocky. He sports a thick body with a grizzled silvery-dun pelt, darker along his back and the top of his skull than his stomach and sturdy legs. Its texture can be best summed up as 'poofy', and heaviest along his neck and belly. His ears are slightly rounded and very small against the sheer volume of fur, and a relatively flat face with a shorter-than-average muzzle make his dark eyes small and inquisitive. Considering he looks quite friendly and fuzzy in wolf form, it can be hard to remember that his teeth are as lethally sharp as any.

I act like:
He's a total space cadet. A former (and some would say unreformed) hippie who has traveled extensively all over the globe, Keahi has picked up a considerable base of pseudo-spiritualistic experience. He practices feng shui, believes in cosmic energy, karma, chi flow, chakras, and God knows what else, but it seems to involve a lot of rocks and herbs. Intentionally or not, his laid-back attitude, California surfer diction, and acoustic guitar mark him as someone who puts a lot of credit in tinfoil hat theories. Because he strongly supports peaceful efforts, he does not strike to defend himself. He is a pushover, basically: imagine, a werewolf who is a practicing vegetarian and even avoids lard.

More than most people, he seems disconnected from the real world around him to a degree that cannot be easily explained as anything other than having drug use. Though he advocates the use of and is known to indulge in 'soft' drugs, this is not entirely true. Much of his clueless personality comes from being deeply introspective and meditative. He has a very hard time seeing what others get worked up about, and therefore can only rarely respond appropriately. So he unintentionally causes a lot of trouble when he thinks he is 'helping.' Whatever strife he provokes is usually born out of the strong sense of love he feels to his pack and others, and his somewhat odd attempts to improve their lives. In many ways, he shares a personality with the first wolves to take comfort and company from just within the glow cast by early man's fires.

Anyone who thinks he is stupid, however, is in for a nasty surprise. Keahi has a habit of exaggerating his peacenik tendencies, and does so so uniformly that it is hard to tell what he genuinely believes and what he pretends to believe to throw someone off balance. Though he's made a choice to be a peaceful flower-child, there was a time when he was an aggressive nightmare. Those who trust absolutely in his doormat personality and consider it set in stone get that doormat suddenly and violently yanked out from under their feet. It's obfuscating stupidity, A.K.A. 'The Kujo Effect,' and it's one hell of a doozy for the uninitiated. Thankfully, he has not had occasion to break the illusion of ditziness for years.

Here are some other things you should know:
He's a newer member of the pack, coming in only after the attack that cut down the original numbers. Thanks to constantly burning incense or recreational drugs, Keahi's sense of smell is basically dead. He makes up for it with excellent hearing and vision, but the smoke lingering on him often hides other scents.

Quote:

Hey there. My name is Alec Spurr.
I secretly think I'm Exacerbation.
I'm a(n) Gamma male in my pack and
I'm 23 years old. My blood type is AB-.
I'm a(n) student at [the local university
When I'm not playing with my pack, I like to Wrestle, run, swim, and BMX bicycle. The rest of what I generally do involves maintaining the other habits. I have to regularly run and lift weights, and my bike is always getting damaged in one way or another, along with the rest of me. Lots of downtime after big days, and lots of bicycle maintenance occupies most of my free time. Oh, and occasionally, I do my homework. .
They don't always let me have this, but I most like to eat Cheap, americanized chinese food. Common choices are chinese fast-food chains, take-out, and just about any variation of non-genuine oriental food thats bad for me. Fortunately, most of what I like is pretty damn cheap..
I look like:
Tall, at approximately 6'5" in human form. Bright blond hair, often kept short and styled with wax, mismatched eyes, (one blue and one brown) with a single textual tattoo on the back of my right shoulder reading 'Anthony.' My body is describable as athletic, due to constant physical strain and effort. From my rowdier youth, I have a number of scars on my leg earned through reckless bicycling and skateboarding.

Other identifying marks include a burn scar on my right forearm, a horizontal surgical scar on my hip, a piercing in my left ear, and usually I'm wearing a pair of reading glasses.

My wolf form has these colorations:
Conspicuous blond fur, as much so as that on my head, making me a bit brashly visible at night. I regularly dye it black, which is a time-consuming and aggravating process, but necessary to not be spotted during night-time excursions.

I act like:
I view myself as charming, a bit arrogant, and certainly confident, though not a natural leader. I will undertake most tasks asked of me, despite any dangerous factors. In terms of personality flaws, I very rarely consider the potential consequences of my actions, as alluded to by the numerous scars on my body. I've been handsome all my life, and I'm quite aware of it.

In addition to these broader things, I'm fiercely loyal, strong of body, a bit thickheaded, at times a little overtly sexual in nature, and constantly looking for my next adrenaline hook-up... That last part in particular has led to some pretty bad decisions, and will doubtlessly lead to many, many more before it finally kills me.

If ever you're looking for somebody to go train-hopping, cliff-jumping, sky-diving, or bear-hunting with, I'm definitely your guy.

Here are some other things you should know:
Plays very well with others, if not a bit rough. While Alec is certainly a joy to be around, and more often than not the life of the party, he has to be regulated. If you let him, he'll push himself way too far... And usually take a few people with him over the edge. It may take something as simple as reminding him to take it easy, or he may, in stranger situations, have to be outright restrained.

Quote:

Hey there. My name is [Tameron Riley O'Shea].
I secretly think I'm [Velvet Drops].
I'm a [Gamma] male in my pack and
I'm [28] years old. My blood type is [AB].
I'm an employee at [Carraway and Stone's Construction Inc.]
When I'm not playing with my pack, I like to [do yoga, swimming and surfing].
They don't always let me have this, but I most like to eat [Chicken Fingers].
I look like:
[Tameron Riley - Standing at six feet one inches, Tameron has the body of your stereotypical jock like a swimmer or a runner, broad shoulders, narrow hips, strong arms, legs and core. Clean-shaven at all time and never scruffy, long auburn brown hair frames his face, with a defined jawline and long nose. His eyes are a soft golden brown color and it is easy to see his age and how he feels through them.

Aside from that he dresses in whatever is simplest and easiest. Especially when he's on the job, tank tops and jeans are the main staple of his wardrobe and he will rarely be seen in anything but.]

My wolf form has these colorations:
[Tameron's wolf form is very similar to those similar to his rank within the pack. He has an auburn base to match his human hair color, with a white underbelly and darker brown overcoat. His wolf form retains the color of his human colour eyes and they almost have an eerie human like quality to them.

Like a few of his brothers Tameron is a perfect balance of power and speed and he relies on both of them when in a fight or for survival.]

I act like:
[The oldest and possibly the most mature within the pack, but lacking the quality of the leader, Tameron Riley tries his best to avoid confrontations within the pack at all times. His age though it does not show in his human form holds him back in his wolf shape placing him at a disadvantage towards a few of the pack members. He reluctantly holds his tongue when need by but is usually very truthful and the least effected by his emotions. He is ration, instinctive and a shrewd businessman to boot!]

Here are some other things you should know:
[He trained his hair to fall over the left side of his face to hide a particularly nasty scar from many people's view. It is faint now and hard to see from a distance but can be easily noticed as it runs from the center of his left eyebrow to just the hallow of his left cheek.]

Quote:

Hey there. My name is [Sheridon Donahue].
I secretly think I'm [Mava_Valentine].
I'm a(n) [Gamma] male in my pack and
I'm [18] years old. My blood type is [O+].
I'm a(n) student/employee at [A senior at the local high school.]
When I'm not playing with my pack, I like to [play video games and hang out in high places].
They don't always let me have this, but I most like to eat [Yogurt].
I look like:
[He looks pretty average, with spiky black hair and a round, pale face. His eyes are almond-shaped and a dull black, covered usually by strands of his coarse hair. His nose and eyebrows are relatively small, while his mouth and ears appear quite average in relation to his other features. He stands about five foot ten, although he admits feeling pretty tall considering the fact that he spent the majority of his life around five six ("I hit my one and only real growth spurt a year ago" ). His fingernails are usually bitten short, and he tends to favor his left side when in fights or scuffles because of an accident when he was young.

The attire he is usually seen in reflects his looks quite well. It mostly consists of plain hoodies, khaki pants, tee shirts, sneakers, and other such clothing items easily attainable from clearance racks at department stores. He tends to get things a size or two too big, as he tells himself each time that he'll grow into them someday. For now, and for his entire life thus far, his frame and physicality has been lithe and soft, regardless of how much he tries to build it up.]

My wolf form has these colorations:
[Oddly enough, Sheridon's wolf form has a rich earthy brown coat, in contrast to his human form's jet black hair. With some patches of fur lighter or darker in random areas, his coat is coarse and short. He has a short, light brown muzzle, shabby ears, and a rather small frame. Other than his tail (of which he firmly believes is the nicest in the pack), he is overall a pretty shabby-looking wolf. Based on his size and non-threatening looks, he could potentially pass as a large stray dog-coyote mix.]

I act like:
[Sheridon is all bark and no bite. While he appears to be soft and gentle, he actually is a bit of a rowdy punk. He can often be seen glaring at people, growling at random objects, and rolling his eyes. Quick to accuse and judge, he's a very defensive person who usually ends up being the first one to start a fight. Having always been more of a "runt of the litter" physically, however, has caused him to have to fight tooth and nail just to avoid slipping into the omega spot in the pack. Regardless of how much he works out and studies each day, he always seems to be surpassed in strength and intelligence by his peers and fellow wolves.

Sheridon's greatest asset and trait would be his natural instincts. He always manages to hold his own in any type of fight or challenge by going with his gut, which seems to always be right. When he's not in one of his more touchy moods, he is a pretty simple guy and easy to get along with. He likes to be around people, and is friends with just about everyone who is able to put up with his periodically quick temper and mood swings. When not in a confrontation, Sheridon enjoys listening to others' experiences and stories. He can be easily described as child-like in his views of the world. He's a very strong-willed teen, despite his lack of physical strength and intelligence, and will defend his opinions and morals regardless the consequences.]

Here are some other things you should know:
[Due to his name containing two "don"s, he's commonly nicknamed "Don" or "Dondon". High places, such as tree branches or roofs of houses, calm his moods, and he enjoys being in wolf-form for long periods of time.]

Hey there. My name is [Vincent Barris].
I secretly think I'm [Karime Blackwing].
I'm [20] years old, and my blood type is [B+].
I like to [swim] in my free time, and my favourite food is [pizza].
I'm a student at [University of Medicine]
and I live [really close to] Cominko Boulevard.
I look like:
[Vinny is very plain, if you want to get right down to it. He has short, brown hair that is straight as a board. He tries to keep it out of his face, and often fails in doing so. He stands at about five foot six, and is neither muscular nor exceedingly scrawny. But his build does favor the thinner side of the spectrum. He has a swimmers build, but he only swims as a pass time every now and then in the University pool. Vinny's complexion is rather pale, and his vision is less than satisfactory. His most outstanding feature is probably his eyes, which are an off purplish color. His heavy reading glasses only accentuate this feature. Typically, he dresses rather nicely, favoring grey dress pants and sweatervests bearing his schools insignia.]

I act like:
[Vinny tends to be kind of a know-it-all. He is studying medical science to try and discern causes and cures for genetic code defects, and prevent issues that afflict infants from birth. He is a naturally empathetic person, and hates to see anything, be it human or animal, in any sort of pain. He can almost always be seen carrying a couple of books under his arm, or studying some genetic code or other. He is anything but superstitious, and thinks that beings like vampires and werewolves are nothing more than sailors tales.... at least, he did.

Vinny is quick to correct anyone when it comes to solid fact, and winds up speaking out of turn when he shouldn't. His constant correcting people catches most as downright annoying, if not infuriating to the more ill of temper. But Vinny never means any harm by it. In fact, he seems completely ignorant of how annoying he is until it's too late. Unfortunately, he is blatantly outspoken, even when it's only of his own opinions. He's suffered at the hands of more then one jock for his obvious disrespect of the social order. Other than that, Vincent has a strong sense of justice, and trying to protect the weak, even though he falls under that category himself.]

Here are some other things you should know:
[Because of his incessant study habits, Vincent's sleep schedule is off, and he has a tendency to fall asleep at random intervals.]

Hey there. My name is Sorin Donnelly.
I secretly think I'm BellaXxDonna.
I'm 24 years old, and my blood type is AB+.
I like to listen to music and explore new places in my free time, and my favourite food is Chinese.
I'm a(n) student/employee at I work as an artist/photographer
and I live really close to Cominko Boulevard.
I look like:
Sorin has long, midnight black hair that is usually kept in a ponytail and dark blue eyes. He stands at just under 6 feet tall with a tan complexion due to often being outdoors where he prefers to work. He has an average body type, neither being to scrawny or to bulky, more on the lean side. Preferring to dress simply and comfortably he can often be found in jeans and a simple shirt.
I act like:
It's very rare to see Sorin without a smile on his face. Very easy going and laid back he loves to have fun and has a good sense of humor. He's usually very outgoing and has an open, flirty personality. Sorin very rarely loses his temper,but when he does he becomes a completely different person. When annoyed or angry he has a tendency to let people know he's in a foul humor by acting sarcastic and cold. Besides a few close friends Sorin prefers to keep his ties to people limited. He's always had a rather free spirit and dislikes being told what to do or feeling controlled by anyone. Due to this he is always quick to offer anyone a friendly smile and a few laughs,but that's as far as it usually goes. He never lets anyone cross the line between a friend or a casual lover and into something more serious for fear of losing control over his life and feeling smothered, therefore he lives alone. The few people he does care greatly for he is extremely protective of and is quick to offer assistance should they need it.

Quote:

Hey there. My name is [Riley Jude Maddox].
I secretly think I'm [OwenewO].
I'm [23] years old, and my blood type is [O].
I like to [work out, hang out, and have sex] in my free time, and my favourite food is [pecan pie].
I'm an employee at [The Rendez-vous, a night club. I'm a Go-Go boy.]
and I live [close to the corner of] Cominko Boulevard.
I look like:
[Riley's a tall and lean guy, standing at a nice 6'4", 186 pounds. He has jet black hair, strands left to slide straight to each side of his face, ending just above his chin, and a charming pair of soft lips between high cheekbones. A six pack drips down his stomach, and leads down to a long pair of legs. He's a healthy shade of pink, and his eyes are a lovely shade of fresh oak. When he's not half-naked and dressed loudly for dance and jest, he's wearing anything stylish from the hottest name brands. ]
I act like:
[Riley Jude as some call him is overly melancholy and seemingly uncaring despite his quick wit and tongue. He's never really thrilled, never apparently happy. He takes everything as it comes to him. Oh no-Riley never minds a thing. That is, until you piss him off. Fingers are then pointed, chests get shoved, and more than a piece of his mind is served on a cold, moldy, and lonely dish. He loves the attention that comes from dancing, and takes it as a form of control and domination, which is exactly what he likes, and how he likes it. He's notorious for being single, unobtainable, and a dream in bed. The only problem is, when you wake up, you'll often find that you've already been escorted out of his house without even the courtesy of breakfast. He hates being bothered, being in problematic situations, smokes like a train, and swears like a sailor. Usually when presented with a problematic situation he'll brood for solutions. He hates vacations because it's 'too much of a tease'. He's very demanding, loves financial security, and is very materialistic. Within that hard shell is still a boy that's very emotionally driven, and is very caring. He pushes people away by simplifying emotions verbally, leading to more convenience and gratification, less drama and hurt.]
Here are some other things you should know:
[With Riley, any qualms can be solved with a little whipped cream and a physical sacrifice. Or a warm pecan pie. But then that calls for suspicion. You can talk turkey while he eats. He listens best that way.]

Hey there. My name is Tobi Reyes.
I secretly think I'm Aartsengel_Zerachiel.
I'm 20 years old, and my blood type is O-.
I like to cook in my free time, and my favourite food is anything but cabbage.
I'm a student at the local university and I live right on Cominko Boulevard.

I look like:
Tobi is an average height, around 5’9 – 5’10. He has shorter, messy dark brown hair that can appear almost black in lower light. His thin frame and soft features hive him a younger appearance, people often mistaking him for a high-school student. He has green eyes and paler skin. He opts to wear a light T-shirt under a button up cotton shirt with jeans and running shoes. If he’s cooking he has a frog apron his mother made for him.

He always has a plush wolf key-chain charm that hangs either off his satchel bag or a belt loop if he doesn’t have his bag.

I act like:
Tobi is a kind and gentle young man with a heart of gold. He loves animals, wolves most of all, and he hopes to become a Vet one day or, if that fails, a chef. He prefers to avoid conflict and often finds himself the peace keeper amongst his classmates. He also enjoys track-and-field. He’ll race almost anyone, just for fun.

English is his second language so Tobi tends to speak in a more formal version of English. His expressive and happy nature are often described as puppyish. He is very loyal to those he cares about. He also holds high value in honour and is a man of his word.

Here are some other things you should know:
Tobi loves wolves and werewolf movies. He wishes werewolves were real! (As far as he knows, so far, they aren’t.)
