The little town of Campbell OOC

[Metronome]

IC: http://roleplayerguild.com/showthrea...of-Campbell-IC


I'm looking for about five or six people to play in this RP. Here's my idea:

A girl is backpacking across the Appalachian trail is a group. As the group reaches a small town, they stop to rest, wash up, and restock. They go to a tavern in the town to get a hot meal that isn't a MRE. While there, this girl notices the strange and unwelcoming behavior of the townfolk. That night, after a few too many drinks, the girl and a couple of her friends wonder out into the woods, where they find a field to stargaze.

However, their stargazing is cut short when a large, wild animal is heard creeping around the woods nearby. Scared, they run off back to the town. However, the girl either trips or gets caught on something, making her fall behind. She is attacked by the beast.

After the others make it back to town and tell about the attack, the townspeople turn hostile and run the whole hiking group off, forcing them to leave the girl, dead or alive, in the woods. The townspeople go into the woods the next morning to find the girl and kill her before she turns, but are chased away by several strange humans. The werewolves are now defending their newest pack member.


Characters I need:

The human girl
Pack members

Minor characters I need:

Townspeople
Hikers (temporary characters)

About Campbell's wolves:

These werewolves are territorial. They don't typically stray from the woods unless there's good reason (e.g. chasing food). This keeps the tense existence between the humans and werewolves in tact: if the humans stay out of the woods at night, they won't be attacked.

The wolves are bipedal. They stand on two legs, but often run on four.

To keep things interesting, these werewolves do not turn only on a full moon. They turn every other night. Note: Not every wolf turns on the same night. They may have different shifting schedules.

They heal very quickly and without scars. This allows for the massive injuries they receive when bitten to not leave tell-tale marks.

They are very close to their pack members. The pack is their family; they eat, live, sleep, and fight together. The pack is kept in check by the leader, who dishes out a severe assbeating when the lower ranks get out of hand.

The position of leader is not a permanent one. It can be won if the current leader is killed/defeated.

The wolves have no memory of what they do as werewolves. They typically have to gather the facts after they've shifted back.

The werewolves are hostile against any and everything inside of their territory, other than their own pack members. The minute a human is turned in to a werewolf, they are recognized as part of the pack.

The pack's current den is a nice, cozy cave.

Rules:

1: No being stupid.
2: No godmodding or overpowering characters.
3: I guess I might as well make Asu and/or Adriane my Co-GMs. They'd end up doing it anyways.
4: No werecats, werebears, wereponies, or any of that bullshit.
5: Met is the all powerful tyrant of this RP. What I say goes. Unless you can convince me that whatever the fuck you're doing will improve the RP somehow.

My characters:

Name: Orren Grey
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Human or wolf: Werewolf

Personality: Orren can come off as a bit of jerk at first. He's got a short fuse, a tendency to insult/berate, and a constant scowl on his face. However, with practice, his bitching and griping can be translated into words of care. Sometimes, however, he's just bitching and griping. Something of the nagging mother of the group, Orren sees to it that everyone does the things that the leader can't be bothered with: he nags others to bathe regularly, gripes at them when they leave bones laying around, and fusses when they don't keep the den clean.

Other: Somehow or another, Orren got drafted into being Dylan's zookeeper. Dylan has pronounced them "best motherfucking friends".

Appearance: Orren's human form is that of a short, pale skinned, dark haired young man. He's really not very intimidating. Orren only stands at 5'5", and his muscle build isn't much to speak of. His eyes are dark grey, matching his typical clothing color of choice.

His werewolf form is something else entirely. He stands at about 6'3", about average for a werewolf, and has snow white fur. His fur is usually pretty dirty after a night in the woods, because hell, he's a werewolf. His eyes are bright, glowing yellow. His muscle build is about average.

History:

Orren's need to nag, fuss, and mettle stems from a time when he had to make up for his parents' incompetence. His father was never married to his mother, nor did he live anywhere near them. His mother was an alcoholic who couldn't be bothered to raise him and his younger brother, Jack. Orren ended up being the main caregiver of his brother. Times weren't easy.

Then came the day that his mother was reported and charged with child neglect. Orren and Jack were taken away from their mother. Since their father wanted nothing to do with them either, the two were put into a children's home. Jack was younger than Orren by several years; he was small and cute. It didn't take long for Jack to get adopted, and for Orren to get left behind. Orren was 9 when the children's home came across a hard budget cut. Many of the kids were sent out to other places; foster homes. All the homes in Orren's town were full, so he was sent to the next town over: a spot in the road called Campbell.

The people of Campbell weren't the friendliest, so Orren quickly began to fit in. The only real friend he had there was a girl about his age: Per. They played around in the woods during the day, always careful to be home by sundown. For whatever reason, the adults didn't want them in the woods at night. However, one night, Orren broke this golden rule. While playing, Per had forgotten one of their toys in the forest. Orren, deciding to be the knight in shining armor for once, went to get it. The boy never returned, however. The official story was that he was mauled by a wild animal.

Orren was 12 when he was turned into a werewolf, and he's been in the pack since.






Name: Dylan Moore
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Human or wolf: Werewolf

Personality: Dylan isn't the brightest crayon in the box. He's known as the resident pothead, the scapegoat of the pack. However, he lets all the insults and disdain roll off his shoulders like rain. It all goes in one ear and out the other. Dylan has a way of finding the good in everyone, and making friends with a person whether they want it or not. He's an easy going guy who means well. Part of the reason he's so drugged up is because he doesn't want to hurt anyone. Dylan's discovered that living in a virtual state of high is enough to calm even his werewolf form. He spends most of his shifted nights asleep.

Other: He's one of the few wolves that can wonder into town without raising alarm. Because there's just no way that that guy could be a werewolf.

Appearance: In his human form, Dylan has curly brown hair, tan skin, and brown eyes. He stands at a towering 6'3", with a lanky, thin build. Most of the time, his eyes are drooping and he has a large, vacant smile on his face. His favorite article of clothing is his beanie, which covers his messy hair.

In his werewolf form, Dylan is quite possibly the tallest of the pack standing at 8'4". However, he still lacks decent muscles. His fur is tan with black markings, and his eyes are dark amber.

History:

Dylan lived in Campbell most of his life. His father was a traveling salesman that was never home to really care for him, but sent him money every week. His mother was nowhere to be found. Dylan was typically left to his own devices as a child. Never the brightest, it's safe to say that he got in plenty of trouble. It was around his mid-teen years that Dylan discovered that Campbell had it's own little pot operation. It was a secluded town that not many people visited; perfect for picking up and dropping off drugs without notice.

He got himself in the trade a little bit, mostly to get cheap drugs. The night Dylan was attacked was a night he was heading home from a late meetup. He didn't own a car, so he was left to walk the forest alone. The rest goes without saying.

Oh, darn, predetermined times for shapeshifting? :\ im more a fan of the on will shapeshifting, but occassional uncontrolled shifts, on full moons. Can i make a chara who does that? Like, the closer to the full moon it is, the less control he has, once he enters werewolf form? Basically resulting in complete control on nights of new moons. So, itd be like a constant wave, as his level of control rose n fell every night. If u want, ill make it so his shifting ability is limited during day time. I.e., can only slightly increase his strength during the day, no full shifting.

Can i do that?

[adriane]

Well at least you finally admitted you're a tyrant.

I'll be placing two female (a werewolf and a hunter) bios right about...


Here

Very soon.

Nope. Uncontrollable shifting is what werewolves do.

[adriane]

Do werewolves age?

[Metronome]

yeah. I was considering making them age slower, but nah =P

[Shingaku]

Not really. Ive seen plenty of times, where werewolves change at will. And there will be times, where he wont be able to prevent the change, such as a full moon, or maybe even the night before and after. Plus, hell ofgen enter battle on his own, so, if he cant control his changes, thatz gonna seriously mess up my idea of how this would work. :\

[Metronome]

That's okay. I'm looking at your writing and starting to not want you in my RP anyway.

[Shingaku]

What, that im expressing my opinions, and trying to negotiate a way that i could work this? Fine, forget this. Those arent true werewolves, if they cant even control their own power anyway.

[Asuterisuku]

Except that it's not meant to be a power to begin with, but rather a curse.
