Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Story IC You grew up listening to fairy tales as nearly every child did. The stories were just fables, of course, so they fell to the back of your mind while the real world took up your attention. You went to school, took tests, completed homework assignments, made friends. You got a job, met the boss you hate more than anything, and work for a meager wage. But life is okay. Certainly not perfect, but okay. Each day is different and you go through your variety of emotions on a regular basis. You have nothing to fear, don't even think about it until after you've watched a horror flick. By morning, the monsters are just figments of the imagination all over again. The scariest thing living in the world are wild animals but you don't need to worry about them; you live in a bustling city filled with skyscrapers and technology, not jungles or forests. At least, that's what you believed... It's spring. The evening air is crisp from the lingering touch of winter and the sky is gradually being claimed by nightfall in a splash of color. You no longer see the sun but you spot the full moon through the canopy of a copse of trees. Heading home occupied your thoughts but you needed a moment to breathe in the fresh air, so you walked along a detour. The sound of cars on the main street soon fades as you enter a more rural area. The trees are more numerous now and the landscape becomes more colorful from larger gardens and better tended property. It's time you went home but a startled cat nearly trips you. When you right yourself, you hear growling and turn to face the loose dog. The last thing you want is an angry or fearful pet lunging at you. Instead, you meet the furred chest of something much larger. Shifting your gaze up, you barely have time to register the snarling muzzle and hungry brown eyes of a seven-foot tall creature before it howls and attacks. Plot There's a rogue werewolf causing untold mayhem in the city. If werewolves don't want to be hunted down like wild animals, they can't afford to have someone going around and making things difficult. It's up to the local werewolves to collect the suddenly-changed, teach them how to survive, and track down the rogue. All while trying to keep the number of casualties as small as possible. But, this isn't "trouble in paradise" and things never go so simply. Werewolves No longer just a creature of myth, werewolves are regarded as monstrosities among the society of human-kind. All those stories were proven more than just fiction nearly five years ago and, since then, the werewolves have been walking a delicate line between remaining in a positive light and becoming outright hunted. The majority of their numbers are located across North America, in Canada and the USA. Werewolves survive better in the west where persecution laws have yet to be passed (though many are trying). In the east, the numbers are smaller and safety is harder to come by. Werewolves average seven feet in height with digigrade legs; long, bushy tails; and are covered head to toe in thick fur. They look very much like big, bipedal wolves but their fur is colored and patterned much like regular dogs. Most of them stay in very good physical shape, though there are exceptions. They heal fast, taking moments for a cut to vanish to a few days to repair broken bones. But they need to eat a lot of raw meat and sleep to maintain that ability as it still requires energy. They can take a lot of damage but a fatal injury is a fatal injury; silver is not required but it certainly helps in a fight against one. Werewolves also age very slowly, causing a 200 year old wolf to look in her late twenties. However, they aren't completely immortal and, most often, they do not die of old age. Every full moon, they cannot resist the change from human to wolf. They lose control, causing their lupine half to take over. As such, werewolves take a day trip out and away from human dwellings and spend the night hunting as a group. Though, they still need to be careful not to get caught up in any fighting; the stronger wolf will kill the weaker. Without human vocal cords, a werewolf cannot communicate with words, only sounds and body language. Fortunately, it's not hard for werewolves to pick each other out in a human crowd; they can smell each other. Though, their sharper sense of smell and hearing can be dampened in highly dense locations like a busy airport. Inexplicably, each werewolf has a butterfly tattoo somewhere on their human body. It's small and ambiguous, comprised of black lines and swirls similar to Henna. Rules Follow DC Forum rules. Post character sheets in the OOC. I will not respond to PMs or sheets posted in the IC.

Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Accepted Characters Username: shadow_claw Name: Aonghus, Niamh Gender: Female Age: 30 Human Appearance: Niamh is generally average in height standards, but is built sturdy. Her square shoulders and barrel chest make her seem much shorter than she actually is, however. Her skin is on the pale side and is dotted with freckles. Her long, wavy brown hair is always tied up into a neat bun, for when it isn't, it's all over the place. Her usual clothes are casual but appropriate; a button-up shirt and dark jeans are her go-to. Other than this, Niamh has a very long, deep scar running from the top of her cheekbone to the bottom of her jaw. Wolf Appearance: From all accounts, Niamh is a ruddy color. The darkest pigment, a deep brown, runs from the tip of her nose, down her spine, and ends at her tail. The fur color lightens in pigment the further one looks. Her fur becomes a reddish on her underside, but fades to white at the ends of her paws. Niamh's usual, pale green eyes are replaced with a pale yellow. Her signature scar remains in this form, and no fur grows there. Tattoo Location: Over her heart Personality: Niamh is...a very spirited, serious woman. Her strong will and abrasive sense of justice makes it that she has few friends. Although largely independent, she is often the first to question the well-being of friends and pack mates. There's no doubt she cares, but she's often very stern and harsh. She's patient, quiet, and observant. Nothing gets past her. Be it a soft sigh or a tense friend, Niamh is quick to pounce on issues. Other: Her scar is from an incident before her time being changed. Username: Shiny Hazard Sign Name: Briarhart, Amelia (Amie) Gender: Female Age: 24 Human Appearance: Amie possesses thick, wavy midnight-black hair that takes on a reddish tinge in direct sunlight. It falls down to her mid-back with a natural slight side part. Her eyebrows are thin and curved over gray-blue eyes, which stand out against her mediterranean olive skin. Her full height reaches five feet and six inches, and she weighs in roughly a hundred and thirty five pounds. A few freckles speckle her shoulders, arms, neck, and thighs, with a few prominent ones marking the outline of her face and jaw. A single, nearly black freckle sits just below her lower lip. Her face is angular, leaving her with a small chin and sharp cheekbones. She has the wiry, hard physique of a cross country racer. Wolf Appearance: Seven feet tall, like most others, and her body is built for running; she hits hard and fast. Her snout is slender, much like the rest of her, and her shoulders are narrow to fit the lithe figure of her build. The fur along her neck and shoulders is thick and curls slightly at the tips, and some of her chest fur and her tail fur curls as well. The fur is jet-black, though a small patch of white blossoms in the center of her chest. One of her back toes is white as well (with a pink toepad). Her eyes become lighter in color, verging on ice-blue. Tattoo Location: The back of her left knee. Personality: Amelia is a challenger. She rises to the occasion whenever the opportunity for a challenge presents itself. For that reason, she became a seasoned triathlon athlete; she even championed the Aids Life Cycle, the seven day bike ride from San Francisco to LA, two years in a row (the first of which was on a dare). Amelia’s passion lies with proving those against her wrong. Think she can’t take someone in a fight? She’ll spend months teaching herself and learning about boxing, or MMA, just to beat down the sucker that laughed in her face. Should she ever lose, Amelia devotes herself to obtaining perfection-- or at least, close to it-- so that the second time around doesn’t yield the same result. Amie is a firecracker; relentless, determined, and sometimes to a fault. To Amie, “danger” is just another term for “adventure.” Other: As her father and little brother are deaf, Amie is fluent in American Sign Language Username: Shiny Hazard Sign Name: Carmichael, Aiden Gender: Male Age: 16 Human Appearance: Aiden has a small frame, but stands (at the moment) at five feet and eight inches. His shoulders are broad, suggesting he will fill out as he ages, but for now retains the lanky, willowy build of an awkward teenager. Aiden's hair is shaggy and straight, but falls in a mess over his head and partially over his face. Occasionally he will style it with gel into a faux-hawk. His hair is naturally dirty blonde, but rigorous bleaching has rendered it egg-shell white with only the roots showing slightly darker. His skin is only a few shades darker than his hair like the pallor of someone who avoids sunlight. He wears two ruby studs in his ears at all times. His outfits change depending on what clothes he manages to borrow (or steal), but typically he's found in a ratty pair of jeans and a white tee-shirt. He likes wearing wristbands and painting his nails dark colors. His eyes are technically hazel, but more green shows through with only a few flicks of brown toward the center of the iris. Wolf Appearance: If he possessed any more fur, he'd look like an overstuffed teddy bear. Aiden's werewolf form is covered in thick, wiry long fur around the base of his skull, around his neck, shoulders, and chest, and the fur over his front legs and spine is long and fluffy. His coat is a bit thinner and shorter under his belly and around his hind legs, though his tail is supremely bushy and long. The fur is a soft white with a smattering of soft grey and slate grey merle patches across his face and down his backside. As a werewolf, he stands at seven feet and two inches. His nose is devoid of pigment, and his eyes become a bright hazel that borderlines gold. Tattoo Location: Left clavicle Personality: Since his transformation, Aiden retreated far into his shell for several years. He was angry and lashed out at everyone, even his foster families. It took several months, but eventually Aiden calmed down to a point where the worst of his behavioral problems manifested in thievery and minor misdemeanors. He wants to be a good kid, but his self esteem is so low that he doesn't truly believe he'll be anything but a beast. Although he tries to be nice from time to time, he often winds up making a mess of everything and then getting pissed at himself... or whoever is close by at the time. Other:n/a Username: PaperCakes Name: Crawford, Brittany Gender: Female Age: 21 Human Appearance: At five foot seven, Brittany stands mere millimeters shorter than her twin brother. Her build is similarly small, but she's far thinner than her brother with less muscle, almost unhealthily so. Her skin is also a little too pale to be considered healthy and if it weren't for the fact that she looked quite sickly, she would be considered beautiful. For twins, they look quite different. Brittany is comely in an aristocratic way, the whole high cheekbones, small nose, big eyes, etc. She has blonde hair, wavy golden blonde hair that reaches half way down her back, parting on the right side of her head and no fridge beyond what comes loose from the bun or high ponytail her hair is usually in. The one identical feature that is immediately obvious between Brittany and her brother is the eyes. Like N, Brittany's eyes are a dark green, but unlike N they aren't usually wide in enthusiasm. In fact, Brittany generally wears an apathetic, bored expression on her face. Her lashes aren't as long as her brothers and her eyebrows are thinner. She's usually seen with a pair of golden, thin rimmed glasses casual jeans and a hoodie. Wolf Appearance: Like her human appearance, her wolf is small and underweight. She's a fluffy, pale grey wolf and the only reason she doesn't look like she's starving is because of all the fur on her. Her fur is especially thick around her neck and the fur on her belly is white. Brittany's head is slimmer and her muzzle more pointed than most other werewolves. Her tail is longer than average and she stands at only six foot four as a werewolf. Her eyes are also amber in this form, like her brother. Tattoo Location: At the base of her spine. Personality: Brittany isn't so much apathetic as very good at adapting. Her motto is to expect everything and to always reserve judgement. Deemed a child genius when she was younger, her parents tended to pay her more attention than her brother. She was seemingly good at everything, while her brother always got into trouble. Because of this, she's quite used to having all she needs. She often reacts in a deadpan or stoic way and seems to show little emotion beyond mild amusement, satisfaction, or annoyance. Brittany accepts and understands the events in her life almost unnaturally well. Even upon becoming a werewolf, she barely reacted to the realization and continued on as if nothing were wrong. But, while great at understanding and accepting, Brittany is, to put it simply, a lazy coward and very much proud of it. She has a rather strange view of the world, isn't willing to confront trouble and never puts effort into what she does. Strangely enough, she and her brother often find their opinions to be similar. Other: Northrop Crawford's younger twin sister. She works as a hacker, occasionally sells her art anonymously and hates going out. She no longer has a British accent after staying in America for so long. Username: PaperCakes Name: Crawford, Northrop ("Please, just call me N, or anything but Northrop or North! I'm begging you!") Gender: Male Age: 21 Human Appearance: Standing at five foot seven, Northrop - or N as he prefers - isn't exactly tall. Luckily for his pride, he isn't the shortest either and he looks young. He's pretty handsome, in a roguish sort of way, with a firm jawline, a perpetual smirk or grin, and stubble that he can't be bothered to shave off. A thin, white scar sits on the bridge of his slightly crooked nose, unnoticeable unless seen under the right lighting at the right angle. The more noticeable scar goes diagonally through his left eyebrow, just above his eye. Despite usually being unshaven, his dark brown hair is generally slicked back with hair gel, neatly, and tied into a low ponytail at the back of his head. It reaches just below the shoulderblades. When it isn't slicked back, his fringe is a shaggy mess that hangs with some strands over his eyes and others, shorter ones, sticking straight up in an uncoordinated mess. Only its length saves the rest of his hair from the same fate. His eyelashes are pretty long, framing dark green eyes, and his eyebrows are set in a way that transforms his face into that of a mischief maker. He is lightly tanned and very obviously Caucasian. N isn't particularly buff, built more for speed than brute force and has fairly narrow shoulders and hips. His regular exercising makes sure that he's mostly muscle. Since his build isn't very intimidating, N favors long, heavy leather coats with padded shoulders and collars over whatever he chooses to wear. To match that, he also wears heavy leather boots and, strangely, a collapsible top hat, to "declare his love for Victorian England." Wolf Appearance: Much to his delight, he's above-average height in werewolf form at seven foot five. He's built more heavily than his human build would suggest, broad and muscled, rather than slender. His coat is shaggy and his fur long, pale grey in color except for his throat, paws and belly which are white. Quite terrible for blending in with his surroundings unless it's snowing. His tail is rather short and his eyes are amber. Tattoo Location: Center of the back of the neck, hidden by his hair. Personality: To sum up N in one word, it would be energetic. Always restless, always full of energy, N constantly wants to be doing something to expend that energy, or too tired to think. Most of his behaviorisms and beliefs stem from his love for freedom, the one concept he values above all else. He's usually incredibly genuine to the point of exaggerating his own emotions to a ridiculous degree, full of drama and childish optimism. And the one thing he sucks at more than sitting around quietly is making a poker face... unless he's bored out of his mind. Cocky and headstrong, N is always up for sparring or some friendly competition, easily bouncing back from disappointments or making a big joke out of them. The only time he really becomes angry or loses his cheer is when that which he holds dear is threatened. Though N is a genuinely nice person, always willing to cheer others up, and seemingly unaffected by anything that happens, leaving him to his own thoughts often ends up with him wallowing in self-hatred and wishing he were heartless. N throws everything into what he does and tends to passionately and dramatically express himself to distract himself from his self-defeating thoughts. Other: Older twin brother of Brittany Crawford, pretty good at all sorts of sports, especially martial arts. He lives on his sister's wages and has a strong British accent despite living in America for the past six years. Username: Epyon Name: Rodriguez, Antonio Gender: Male Age: 24 Human Appearance: Antonio stands at 5'10" with a body that, while isn't exactly like the Chippendales, he has good muscle tone that brings his weight in at 190 lbs. He has the dark complexion common to those with roots in Latin America with dark brown eyes that almost look black in some lighting. His hair has a crew cut that he keeps neatly groomed as well as a meticulously kept full beard that serves to frame his slightly chubby face and full lips. Though he no longer needs glasses since his conversion, he still wears them with regular glass lenses that he would wear at times. Wolf Appearance: As a werewolf, Antonio stands in at 6'11". His fur is a smoky grey color with lines of black throughout his body, much like a husky, to provide excellent camouflage at night and in dense brush during the day. His fur is double coated, since he lives mostly in the Alaskan wilderness, with thicker fur around his throat, body, and tail. As opposed to most other wolves, his jaw is squared, providing him with a better grip when he bites down. Like other wolves, he is lithe and built for running, but he is also built more like a tank with thicker limbs and corded muscles. His eyes are an ice blue. Tattoo Location: Between his shoulder blades, directly on his spine. Personality: Antonio is proud, stubborn, and if he trusts the people around him, he'll show his loyalty. In addition to this, he usually puts on a front that hides what he's feeling from others. If anyone can get through this front, they'd find that he is a gentle soul who adapted to his new situation. He does not care for traitors, liars, or those who abuse their power. As a result, he is leery of any wolf he encounters. Though he will not fight unless he must, he will prove to be a dangerous foe if he's provoked. Often times, he can let things slide off his shoulders, but he holds onto a few things to remember that not everything is as it seems. Other: He sometimes speaks Spanglish depending on his mood, when he's enraged he's known to curse in both languages as he's grown up learning both. Username: Narvix Name: Roy, Imelda Gender: Female Age: 23 years Human Appearance: Imelda stands no taller than 4'10" and weighs about 120 pounds, placing a bit of meat on her otherwise lithe frame; though, much of it is muscle. She's built like a professional boxer with a slightly tanned skin tone. Her face is round and blemished with a couple small moles; one is near the center of her left cheek while the other sits on the right-side edge of her jawbone. Her eyes are maple brown and rest on either side of a pointed nose and narrow bridge. Her hair is dark brown and kept short, the strands loose and swept to the right, ending at the nape of her neck. Wolf Appearance: Like her human form, Imelda is on the smaller end as a werewolf. Reaching no taller than six feet, her eyes are become hazel, and her fur is patterned like a collie with rust-red along her back and white on her front. Imelda's pelt is longer in many places: her neck, shoulders, back, and tail. Her build is stockier than expected, implying that she moves and hits like a tank - slower but heavier. Tattoo Location: Centered just above her navel. Personality: Imelda is, generally, a softie. She loves to cuddle up on the couch with anyone and everyone who wants to. If you enter her room, you'll find a mountain of stuffed animals of various species just occupying her bed. Enjoying fun times much better than work, Imelda is always up for last minute get-together plans - any occasion to hang out and connect with friends. She's very social and often easily finds something to talk about. However, she's almost never approachable early in the morning; someone will lose their head if it's before 10:00 AM. Despite her seemingly carefree personality, Imelda carries a lot on her shoulders, even if the burden isn't hers to bear. The easiest way for her to relax, besides cuddling, is beating up a punching bag or going for a run. Other: N/A Important NPCs Name: Carl Reese Age: ???

Posted August 2, 2016 I'm going to say no because the werewolf's supernatural healing would prevent the loss of pigmentation, just as it would heal dying cells too quickly (thus lack of aging) or prevent disease. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 2, 2016 Again, no. Why would it matter anyways? Your wolf can have the coloration of any dog; it doesn't have to just be solid black or solid white. Share this post Link to post

Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Amazing. I'm loving this place already. Username: PaperCakes Name: Crawford, Northrop ("Please, just call me N, or anything but Northrop or North! I'm begging you!") Gender: Male Age: 21 Human Appearance: Standing at five foot seven, Northrop - or N as he prefers - isn't exactly tall. Luckily for his pride, he isn't the shortest either and he looks young. He's pretty handsome, in a roguish sort of way, with a firm jawline, a perpetual smirk or grin, and stubble that he can't be bothered to shave off. A thin, white scar sits on the bridge of his slightly crooked nose, unnoticeable unless seen under the right lighting at the right angle. The more noticeable scar goes diagonally through his left eyebrow, just above his eye. Despite usually being unshaven, his dark brown hair is generally slicked back with hair gel, neatly, and tied into a low ponytail at the back of his head. It reaches just below the shoulderblades. When it isn't slicked back, his fringe is a shaggy mess that hangs with some strands over his eyes and others, shorter ones, sticking straight up in an uncoordinated mess. Only its length saves the rest of his hair from the same fate. His eyelashes are pretty long, framing dark green eyes, and his eyebrows are set in a way that transforms his face into that of a mischief maker. He is lightly tanned and very obviously Caucasian. N isn't particularly buff, built more for speed than brute force and has fairly narrow shoulders and hips. His regular exercising makes sure that he's mostly muscle. Since his build isn't very intimidating, N favors long, heavy leather coats with padded shoulders and collars over whatever he chooses to wear. To match that, he also wears heavy leather boots and, strangely, a collapsible top hat, to "declare his love for Victorian England." Wolf Appearance: Much to his delight, he's above-average height in werewolf form at seven foot five. He's built more heavily than his human build would suggest, broad and muscled, rather than slender. His coat is shaggy and his fur long, pale grey in color except for his throat, paws and belly which are white. Quite terrible for blending in with his surroundings unless it's snowing. His tail is rather short and his eyes are amber. Tattoo Location: Center of the back of the neck, hidden by his hair. Personality: To sum up N in one word, it would be energetic. Always restless, always full of energy, N constantly wants to be doing something to expend that energy, or too tired to think. Most of his behaviorisms and beliefs stem from his love for freedom, the one concept he values above all else. He's usually incredibly genuine to the point of exaggerating his own emotions to a ridiculous degree, full of drama and childish optimism. And the one thing he sucks at more than sitting around quietly is making a poker face... unless he's bored out of his mind. Cocky and headstrong, N is always up for sparring or some friendly competition, easily bouncing back from disappointments or making a big joke out of them. The only time he really becomes angry or loses his cheer is when that which he holds dear is threatened. Though N is a genuinely nice person, always willing to cheer others up, and seemingly unaffected by anything that happens, leaving him to his own thoughts often ends up with him wallowing in self-hatred and wishing he were heartless. N throws everything into what he does and tends to passionately and dramatically express himself to distract himself from his self-defeating thoughts. Other: Older twin brother of Brittany Crawford, pretty good at all sorts of sports, especially martial arts. He lives on his sister's wages and has a strong British accent despite living in America for the past six years. Username: PaperCakes Name: Crawford, Brittany Gender: Female Age: 21 Human Appearance: At five foot seven, Brittany stands mere millimeters shorter than her twin brother. Her build is similarly small, but she's far thinner than her brother with less muscle, almost unhealthily so. Her skin is also a little too pale to be considered healthy and if it weren't for the fact that she looked quite sickly, she would be considered beautiful. For twins, they look quite different. Brittany is comely in an aristocratic way, the whole high cheekbones, small nose, big eyes, etc. She has blonde hair, wavy golden blonde hair that reaches half way down her back, parting on the right side of her head and no fridge beyond what comes loose from the bun or high ponytail her hair is usually in. The one identical feature that is immediately obvious between Brittany and her brother is the eyes. Like N, Brittany's eyes are a dark green, but unlike N they aren't usually wide in enthusiasm. In fact, Brittany generally wears an apathetic, bored expression on her face. Her lashes aren't as long as her brothers and her eyebrows are thinner. She's usually seen with a pair of golden, thin rimmed glasses casual jeans and a hoodie. Wolf Appearance: Like her human appearance, her wolf is small and underweight. She's a fluffy, pale grey wolf and the only reason she doesn't look like she's starving is because of all the fur on her. Her fur is especially thick around her neck and the fur on her belly is white. Brittany's head is slimmer and her muzzle more pointed than most other werewolves. Her tail is longer than average and she stands at only six foot four as a werewolf. Her eyes are also amber in this form, like her brother. Tattoo Location: At the base of her spine. Personality: Brittany isn't so much apathetic as very good at adapting. Her motto is to expect everything and to always reserve judgement. Deemed a child genius when she was younger, her parents tended to pay her more attention than her brother. She was seemingly good at everything, while her brother always got into trouble. Because of this, she's quite used to having all she needs. She often reacts in a deadpan or stoic way and seems to show little emotion beyond mild amusement, satisfaction, or annoyance. Brittany accepts and understands the events in her life almost unnaturally well. Even upon becoming a werewolf, she barely reacted to the realization and continued on as if nothing were wrong. But, while great at understanding and accepting, Brittany is, to put it simply, a lazy coward and very much proud of it. She has a rather strange view of the world, isn't willing to confront trouble and never puts effort into what she does. Strangely enough, she and her brother often find their opinions to be similar. Other: Northrop Crawford's younger twin sister. She works as a hacker, occasionally sells her art anonymously and hates going out. She no longer has a British accent after staying in America for so long. Is this okay? Edited August 3, 2016 by PaperCakes Share this post Link to post
Posted August 3, 2016 Mostly. There are two things: N's scars and Brittany's body weight. Could you PM me your ideas for those because werewolves heal too fast to scar and their weight doesn't drop unless they're not eating (which wouldn't be a good thing) Share this post Link to post
Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) N and Brittany are approved I'm putting their sheets in the proper place and listing when their changes occurred, right now. Edited August 5, 2016 by Narvix Share this post Link to post
Posted August 6, 2016 Alright! Some Important NPC information has been unlocked! (Though, I'm not able to finish updating their short bios tonight since I have to get some sleep. Expect them to be completed soon!) At this point, werewolves are splitting up to talk to the elders as instructed. It doesn't matter who posts before or after whom. Once everyone has posted and shared the details about their Change, I'll make the next post. Thing to note: PM me your character's change if you don't want it to be known by the others or if you're not certain it'll be okay. If you're fine with it being known by the other RPers (not their character(s)), then feel free to just post it in the IC. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 17, 2016 No, guys. I was serious about telling me your characters' Changes either in your IC posts or in a PM to me. Kinda meant for you guys to do that after my last post. But... none of you have. Can we fix that please? Share this post Link to post
Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) lol I might as well add Niamh here Username: shadow_claw Name: Aonghus, Niamh Gender: Female Age: 30 Human Appearance: Niamh is generally average in height standards, but is built sturdy. Her square shoulders and barrel chest make her seem much shorter than she actually is, however. Her skin is on the pale side and is dotted with freckles. Her long, wavy brown hair is always tied up into a neat bun, for when it isn't, it's all over the place. Her usual clothes are casual but appropriate; a button-up shirt and dark jeans are her go-to. Other than this, Niamh has a very long, deep scar running from the top of her cheekbone to the bottom of her jaw. Wolf Appearance: From all accounts, Niamh is a ruddy color. The darkest pigment, a deep brown, runs from the tip of her nose, down her spine, and ends at her tail. The fur color lightens in pigment the further one looks. Her fur becomes a reddish on her underside, but fades to white at the ends of her paws. Niamh's usual, pale green eyes are replaced with a pale yellow. Her signature scar remains in this form, and no fur grows there. Tattoo Location: Over her heart Personality: Niamh is...a very spirited, serious woman. Her strong will and abrasive sense of justice makes it that she has few friends. Although largely independent, she is often the first to question the well-being of friends and pack mates. There's no doubt she cares, but she's often very stern and harsh. She's patient, quiet, and observant. Nothing gets past her. Be it a soft sigh or a tense friend, Niamh is quick to pounce on issues. Other: Her scar is from an incident before her time being changed. She was changed 5.5 years prior to the rp. Edited August 17, 2016 by shadow_claw Share this post Link to post
Posted August 17, 2016 Eight years won't work, sorry. Nothing longer than 5 1/2 years prior to the RP. Other than that, she looks good. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 17, 2016 Lemme change it then c: She'll be 5 1/2, editing now Share this post Link to post
Posted September 4, 2016 I waited long enough for people to respond to me with the info I requested. I'm moving the thread on. After the next post or two (doesn't matter who it is), I'll be doing a short time skip and keep the plot moving. Share this post Link to post
