The quiet mountainous forests of Virginia harbor many strange beings. In the most remote locations where there are more animals than humans, werewolves live among the men and women. Only on the full moon, they ravage the land, killing anyone who gets in their way. In this time, other werewolves expose themselves by howling to the moon. Here lies opportunity for one elder werewolf. For an immortal being who has lived for hundreds of years, it is understandable that life would be boring. So during the full moon, the werewolf harbors his rage and goes in search of others like him. Join or die. The goal is to group together, especially since the government has employed agencies specially equipped to deal with their kind. With numbers the werewolves can prevail, fighting to survive everyday. <br><br><div align="center">----</div><br>OOC:<br>http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=164820.0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=164820.0)<br><br>IC:<br>http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=164869.0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=164869.0)<br><br>Characters:<br>Alpha Male: Dax Rebaut (makizushi (GM))<div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Name: Dax Rebaut<br>Position in Pack: Alpha Male<br>Age: Born April 21, 1631 (382 years old) Appears the age of twenty-five.<br>Appearance (human form &amp; werewolf): 5'8", green eyes, black hair in human form. <br>(http://londonoa.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/guillaume-canet-as-hot-french-guy.jpg?w=500)<br>In werewolf form, fur is all black.

Before he could get away, she bit him. Days later, he transformed for the first time and from there on, he learned what he could about what had become of him. As years passed, he realized he was not aging. During this time, he should have died countless times. Being in the army for a time, he learned that gashes and cuts healed at an incredible rate. When the new world was discovered, Dax quickly got on to a ship and made it over to the Americas. There he left the colonies and spent a great deal of time adventuring and exploring the North American region. <br><br>But now it's 2013 and he has grown bored. With his old age comes wisdom. He wants to lead. For the first time, he wants to invite others like him into a group where they occupy a spot of land and rule. He knows already the troubles they may face, but being together will make them stronger. He knows this, and welcomes others into his pack.</div></div>Alpha Female: Beibhinn (be-veen) O'Donnal (bubby)<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Name: Beibhinn (be-veen) O'Donnal<br>Position in Pack: Alpha Female<br>Age: Born March 12, 1763 (250 yrs.

She is a curvy woman, but strong and agile. Her hair is naturally platinum, with eyes of ice blue.<br>Wolf Appearance<br>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/c/cf/Beautiful-White-Wolves-wolves-32683888-718-616.jpg)<br>Personality Type: Cold, dominant, sensual. Fiercely protective to any she deems worthy. Underneath that cold exterior though lies a woman who can love strongly.<br><br>Short Bio: Born to a mid-class working Irish family, Beibhinn was the only girl in a family full of boys, as well as the baby. She grew up knowing hunting, and the woods and rivers and hard work. Yet she also knew the love and protection of parents and brothers that adored and protected her. <br><br>She had a tendency to wander beyond the boundaries set by her father, getting lost in the beauty and freedom the woods surrounding her family home held. It came to pass that one day she truly went to far, and found herself lost. Night fell, and alone and cold, she noted the full moon... and then heard the howl. Ay first she wasn't afraid, for was she not a child of these woods? Yet the howls became closer, the snarls sounded angry, and she found herself running. The attack was fast and brutal, and how she managed to escape even she didn't know, yet she managed to stumble back as the sun began to rise, and she was found by her brothers. She mended, and it seemed she would be fine. Until the next full moon...<br><br>… she had become a monster. She changed, in front of her family, and she ran off, instinct taking her out to kill. Yet when she tried to return, bloody, weeping, frightened and in pain, they turned her out. <br><br>Beibhinn survived. Barely. She managed all on her own, barely. She became angry, trusting no one. She became strong and savage, determined to make herself into the strongest Beast she could be. And so the years went by, and she survived, and she did it all on her own.<br><br>But even the strongest of Bitches can get lonely...</div></div>Beta Female: Kyle Young (kdyami)<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Name: Kyle Young<br>Breed: Lycan<br>Role: Bad Boy. He's a charismatic figure, but with a rough and rebellious streak. He's very unpredictable, but in the end, he's generally a good guy.<br>Gender: Male<br>Age: 18, no seriously 18<br>Pack role: Just a new member<br>Description: Kyle is 6'3" dark hair, athletically muscled, and quite often well tanned.&nbsp; He got a tattoo on his left arm to cover the scar from a knife attack.<br>(http://jaclyndiva.jdiva.netdna-cdn.com/images/Yummy_Surfer_dude.jpg)<br>Bio:&nbsp; Kyle is a Lycan, making him Stronger and faster, with enhanced hearing and accelerated healing.&nbsp; So what does he use his "gift" for? He is an action/extreme sports junkie; if it goes fast enough to do something stupid on Kyle wants a piece of it.&nbsp; But he wasn't always a Lycan.&nbsp; Kyle was born to Ella and Jorgan Young; World class photographers.&nbsp; They had seen a lot of strange things but never quite believed their grandparents stories about being a werewolf family.&nbsp; So they didn’t protect Kyle because they didn’t think he was one.&nbsp; At their insistence however they made Kyle take martial arts classes so he could learn to meditate and calm his spirit, which didn’t work too well.&nbsp; Kyle simply took the martial arts training and applied it to his love of extreme sports.&nbsp; Kyle also took up music and was the lead guitarist for a local band and they had a pretty big gig coming up and Kyle told all of his friends they had to come, not the least of which was Caleb Jones.<br><br>The gig went great, the band was a huge hit.&nbsp; Later when Kyle was loading his gear he saw one of their friends antagonize some local gang members.&nbsp; Kyle watched the group split up and shouted after the gang.&nbsp; Some of them turned and attacked Kyle leaving less chancing his friends.&nbsp; He was trained to fight and this wasn’t much of a fight as he easily dispatched the first two opponents until one of them pulled a knife and stabbed Kyle in the arm.&nbsp; Kyle felt the anger inside of him and surrendered to it and before he knew what was happening he was a large wolf and the gang didn’t stand a chance.&nbsp; He killed them easily, and he enjoyed it.&nbsp; Howling at the moon Kyle now went in search of something to eat eventually falling asleep and changing back into a human.&nbsp; <br><br>Since then Kyle has been doing a lot of research and talking with his Grandparents but hasn’t told his parents about what happened.&nbsp; They continue to stay out of town for very extended periods of time and Kyle has the run of the house; leaving him to explore his “curse” and the new underworld he now finds himself in.<br><br>Personality:&nbsp; Kyle is crazy.&nbsp; Anything anyone has told him was impossible or dangerous he wants to try. Base jumping, parkour, maverick or large wave surfing, double black diamond snowboarding, dirt biking/BMX, anything and everything that moves him fast enough to do something stupid on.&nbsp; Kyle very loyal to his friends, he sees himself as a member of a tribe/clan, and while not the leader he will do whatever he has to for the good of the others.&nbsp; He doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty.&nbsp; As such he typically projects a darker personality then the others.&nbsp; Humans would consider this type of behavior slightly narcissistic and extremely sociopathic. </div></div>Beta Female: Nailah Metaxas (Kokaine)<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Name: Nailah Metaxas<br>Born: July 31, 1889 (123 years old)<br>Position in Pack: Beta ?<br><br>Appearance (human form): <br>Height: 5'6"<br>Complexion: Dusky with gold undertones<br>Eyes: Amber/Gold<br>Hair: Dark brown, almost black<br>Physique: Toned with well-balanced curves<br>Apparent Age: 21<br><br>Appearance (werewolf form): <br>Height: Just under 6’<br>Fur: Reddish Black<br><br>Personality Type: Sensual, Curious, Intelligent, Observant, Creative, Stubborn, Competitive<br>Despite her privileged upbringing, Nailah is not afraid of hard work. She enjoys getting dirty and will always do her best to be number one, though deference is given to those who may have earned such a show of respect from her. She is fiercely competitive and will not back down in the face of adversity. She never gives up, even if it requires her to demonstrate great patience and endure much suffering. She is shrewd, intelligent, flexible and resilient. Once her respect is earned, she is both loyal and trustworthy. <br><br>Short Bio: Born in the late 1800’s to a wealthy Greek merchant with several ships at his disposal and his exotic Egyptian wife, Nailah knew a privileged but lonely upbringing. As an only child she was doted on and often overly indulged by her father. At her insistence he even attempted to take her under his wing to teach her the ways of a successful merchant but while she was certainly receptive to learning anything she could, it did nothing to ease the inherent loneliness she felt without a companion of her own age. Still, she would endeavor to be a good and obedient daughter, though her curiosity and strong will occasionally led her into trouble regardless of her intentions. <br><br>It was not for some time that Nailah would become aware of the fact that her father held many secrets. Though he was above all a business man, there were trips and habits of his that seemed out of place to Nailah which only served to pique her curiosity. One night she would take it upon herself to dig a bit deeper, even going so far as to disguise herself and follow her father as he stole away from their estate. Unfortunately for her, she would find out too late just why she should have left him to his secrets.<br><br>Some years ago, while on a trip her father had been bitten by a savage beast. Not being a superstitious man he hadn’t thought anything of it beyond the surface facts. However, a few weeks later he would have his first transformation under the light of the full moon. After that he took precautions to make sure he was never around his wife and child during the full moon but on this particular night, his departure was delayed by business he could not escape. By the time he caught wind of his daughter’s scent trailing him away from the safety of their home it was far too late.<br><br>With a scream, Nailah turned and raced away from her father as his transformation took hold but she didn’t make it very far. By some miracle she woke the next morning to find that she hadn’t been killed but was very ill. Her father took care of her, nursing her back to health and then when her first transformation came he took her with him away from their home to guide her through it. Her mother, knowing her husbands secret, could not accept that the same had happened to her child and killed herself that night. <br><br>For the first few years after her transformation, Nailah and her father simply carried on as they always had been despite the grief over losing her mother. However, her transformation seemed to have woken something inside her and her father's dominance began to chafe very quickly. Finally, after a particularly vicious fight between them in which she broke his nose, Nailah simply left home to set out on her own away from the father she once adored. Since then she has spent time in many places doing whatever suits her whims by whatever means she can.</div></div>Pack Member: Anna Conti (Hali)<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Name: Anna Conti<br>Aliases: Many<br>Born: November 10, 1809<br>Position in Pack: TBD<br><br>Appearance (human form): <br>Height: 5'7"<br>Complexion: Olive<br>Eyes: Hazel<br>Hair: Dark Brown<br>Physique: Athletically Limber<br>Appearance: Early 20s<br><br>Appearance (werewolf form): <br>Height: 6'<br>Fur: Brown <br><br>Personality Type: A free-spirit, sultry and passionate with a fiery temper.<br><br>Short Bio: <br><br>Anna Conti was the second daughter of Giovanni and Catharina Conti; her father was a struggling Italian painter and her mother, his muse, a woman of well-to-do Venetian society who had become the proverbial black sheep by marrying beneath her, as that branch of the family never let her forget.<br><br>In 1832, the family's quiet existence in the Italian countryside was disrupted when the cholera epidemic broke out, killing thousands of people in Europe. Anna watched as her father succumbed to the illness, then observed her mother growing severely dehydrated, her skin becoming symptomatically bluish with the dreaded disease&nbsp; - in an attempt to stave it, Anna had taken to the well in the middle of the night when the moon was full, only to be attacked and violated by some creature that had come to feast upon the healthy within the fertile grounds of an already panicked countryside.<br><br>No one in the town believed her tale when she returned, battered, bruised and torn; they said she was infected with cholera and the fever was addling her mind, making her lose control of her faculties so that she sought to harm herself. Within days her skin changed, becoming waxy and the fever intensified as the townsfolk had predicted., in less than a week, a group of local vintners set fire to the farmhouse to burn the disease from the land; Anna during this time morphed and ran out of the flames and into the night, presumed dead by those that knew her.<br><br>Over the years, leading a lone-wanderer's life, Anna has extensively travelled the world seeking human lovers when the urge takes her. In the past, it was easier to travel without documentation, but over her years, with government imposed restraints, she has become proficient at forgery and identify theft. Utilizing these talents she has made her way to the States, hitching her way across the country while enjoying the periodic liaisons that are offered, always promising her lovers that they will never be forgotten - and they aren't - the ending of these brief affairs remain forever immortalized within her trusty sketchbooks; each inked portrait drawn with the blood of the fallen.</div></div>Pack Member: Kennedy Roberts (Milk)<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Name: Kennedy Roberts<br>Position in Pack:&nbsp; pack member<br>Age:&nbsp; 21<br>Appearance (human form &amp; werewolf):<br>(http://twinphoenix222.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/dark-haired-woman13.jpg)<br><br>5'7, very casual in her dress, preferring loose clothing in which she can move. <br>(http://i45.tinypic.com/2whe6g4.jpg)<br><br><br>Personality Type:&nbsp; loyal, trusting to the point of naive, loving, friendly<br>Short Bio:[/b] Kennedy comes from a small fishing village and lived her life there peacefully and with much joy and love in the home of her adopted father.&nbsp; At the age of 16 she was introduced to the dark secret side of village life and was brought into the pack.&nbsp; She took her place amongst the villagers happily and it was only following the death of her father that Kennedy felt it was time to move on.</div></div>

				Working on a post now<br><br><br>Also, just a couple points I need to clarify in my mind.<br><br>In this setting weres look like natural wolves just larger, correct?<br>They only shift when there's a full moon? No other times at will?<br>And what attributes might they have while in human form? (strength, speed, senses? Or nothing except when the full moon comes around?)<br><br>Just trying to make sure I'm envisioning my character correctly is all.

				I want to do a total of three forms. Those are human, wolf (slightly larger and much stronger than regular wolves), and a lycan form (think Underworld werewolves). That's more or less a fighting&nbsp; form, in case there's a fight between werewolves or we could have vampires show up at some time. <br><br>They can shift at will, but during full moon they are forced to transform until morning. <br><br>And finally in human form they are strong (but not as strong as they lycan form) and they are fast, same with their senses being heightened.

				No rush. I actually just had an idea to get those who've already posted to meet, then as they commence terrorizing people, the others can kind of stumble upon them. With all of the blood and scents from multiple wolves, others will undoubtedly sense that and join in.

				Yeah unfortunately it looks like this won't work. I just don't have the extra time now to get more players and so I'm just going to abandon this game. <br><br>Maybe towards the summer when things get a little less hectic here, then I'll restart this. Sorry y'all.&nbsp;
