Hey everybody! Just dropping this off here, after discussing it with TRF. I'm very excited to get this rolling with y'all, it's been ages since I've had the opportunity to do something with Werewolves.  Whoop whoop!<br/><br/>(http://i.imgur.com/SOQiM.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Name</strong>: Nico Frans<br/><strong>Nicknames</strong>: CoCo, Niff<br/><strong>Species</strong>: Werewolf (Viral)<br/><strong>Age</strong>: 23<br/><strong>Gender</strong>: Female<br/><strong>Sexuality</strong>: Straight<br/><strong>Height</strong>: 5'7"<br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong>: Nico has an overall appearance of being wholesome, with a dash of confidence that reminds one she is well aware of her cultured femininity.  Her hair is perpetually in its natural burnt autumn color, which she usually wears loose, save for when she's in 'work mode'. This look is characterized by a high ponytail, accompanied by her thick black-framed glasses.  Her skin is a pale olive tone, and in the summer monthes her freckles are made visible from hours spent in the sun.  Nico regularly dresses in tailored pants and fitted long sleeved tops, ranging in an array of muted shades - black being her favorite.  This style of dress is used mostly as a backdrop to bring focus to her love of accessories - necklaces, watches, scarves, hats.. you get the picture.   Her smile is considered her most prized freature. And her eyes aren't so bad either...<br/><br/>Powers(Species): TBD<br/>Powers(Optional): TBD<br/>Skills: TBD<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Born and raised in Vancouver (British Columbia), Nico has had the benefit of living among an inspiring combination of nature and a coastal seaport city. Her environment became a major playing factor in deciding her goals and career aspirations. It was easy enough to set the stepping stones, being the only child of a well-to-do liberal thinking couple who did their best to impart the importance of staying true to oneself. She graduated from High School with honors with destinction, and immediately enrolled in post secondary education at a prized university that specialized in architectural engineering. Her ambition was to follow in the footsteps of the great architects who combined natural form with expressive art, to create lasting sculptures and buildings that were meant to transcend trend via function and beauty.<br/><br/>All of these lofty dreams came to an unexpected standstill after Nico had decided to go on a hike in the foothills of south-central B.C. She knew enough about taking camping trips in the rugged mountain terrain, and was well prepared for the weekend, but no amount of preparation and survival skill could keep someone safe from the attack of a Werewolf. Nico had been on a familiar path when the attack had happened, and she had a cliffside and a flare gun to thank for her survival.<br/><br/>After escaping her near-death experience, she quickly noted the change in her phsyiology.  Desperation and research exposed the answers she needed to come to terms with her changed life. She had uncovered her new plan; What she could do to make good on what she considered a mysteriously powerful handicap. It didn't take long for her to come to the conclusion that she wanted to maintain the moral sensibilities that her parents had taught her when she was under their roof. Werewolves needed help, they were the underdogs, quite literally. In the face of adversity and ostracization, she accepted her unnatural disease and set upon using her knowledge in engineering to help benefit her kind.  Nico found strength in communing with the aboriginal tribes that still peppered the coast of B.C, to help deal with calming her spirit, to ease the viral beast that was near impossible to control.<br/><br/>Rumors spread, sourced from the underground railways. Werewolves who saught refuge from the notorious Kennels and Hunters were succumbing to uncharacteristic complications. Some were thinking that it was sabotage from an insider posing as an ally, where as others blamed a lack of planning and proper resources.  Nico felt it her turn and duty to make a tour through the continent, stopping at all the known locations to investigate possible weaknesses, or cause there of.  It was beginning to feel like a long journey and her next destination in her roadworn journal was marked as "The Doghouse".  Would this place be any different than the others? And would she finally find the reasoning behind these rumors?<br/><br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>:  Nico is one of those enthusiastic types, who can be strong and silent, or vocally enthusiastic.  She has an amazing knack at making even the most sullen of sorts turn their frown upside down.  Her timing with jokes is usually impeccable, knowing when the right humor is needed - and if her timing is ever off, she's quick to laugh at herself and concede to her misjudgement.  Often, this sense of humor can be mistaken for dimwittedness, but she has the ability to sense when someone is regarding her in that light, and is quick to pull out the articulated/smart Nico.  Just for reminders sake.<br/><br/>Nico is an extremely passionate person, constantly seeking the good in every person she meets, and how best to make them feel appreciated for the good quality(ies) they harbor.  She won't give up on anyone, because she has never given up on herself.
