Name: Niall Collins
Gender: Male
Age: 45
Rank: Alpha Male
Spouse:
Trade: Horse Breeder; Draft

Upright Appearance:
Canine Appearance:

Personality: Niall is loyal to a fault at times, he can definitely be a lover but is by far a fighter. He is rather stubborn but is open to listening to other peoples opinion. There is nothing he enjoys more than a good discussion about a pertinent topic. Niall is a gentle man at times but it is easy to see the beast that lurks within. Do not let his gentleness fool you for he does not shy from violence.

History: Niall was born to Keenan and Emelia Collins who ruled the pack before Niall. They were the perfect match, a so called 'Destined Pair'. Niall was the second born to the pair, the Second Heir of the Blue Ridge pack. His great, great grandparents before them started the pack, bringing over what remained of their pack after the hysteria in Europe, England to be exact. Niall's elder sister by two minutes, Aspen, was deemed Heir of the pack. Growing up with a twin sister was not something for the faint of heart. Both he and his sister were trained expediently to control their instincts and fight like they would be challenged the next day for their position. He was trained so if something were to happen to his sister he would also be prepared to take her place. Unfortunately, just after they turned 16 Aspen contracted ICED and died within just a few months, rather than the years it generally takes. Even though he was at risk for contracting the disease as he was directly related to her he refused to leave her side as her growth rate slowed and then stopped in mere months. Due to the slowed cell activity when she caught a cold it quickly turned into pneumonia and killed his twin and The Heir to the Blue Ridge Pack. It is without question that Niall is immune to ICED as his continued exposure would have killed him if he was able to contract the disease. When he was 35 his father Keenan stepped down as Alpha and retired with his wife to enjoy the remainder of their lives, he was 136 then. Just short of ten years after their retirement Niall's parents were killed by Hunters as they strolled through the woods in their upright forms. They were the beginning of a spree Niall was almost helpless to stop. For each hunter the pack tracked down and killed it seemed two more appeared and Niall was faced with a choice; remain and possibly die or eat his pride and flee for the mountains. He chose to flee.

Extra?: Niall is immune to ICED.

Name: Elize Vanzant
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Rank: Adult Female
Trade: Shepherdess
Upright Appearance:

Canine Appearance:

Personality: Elize is rather outspoken sometimes but it comes from a well recognized source, her history. She is proud of her sheep and loves them nearly as much as she loves her pack. She can often be found lounging in her wolf form guarding her sheep, not much will get near them with her scent permeating their fleece. She raised both fleece and meat sheep and several varieties. She also processes their wool into usable products and dyes them with natural dyes for clothes to be made from them. She loves her profession and she can get rather excited about it. One simply should not ask Elize about her sheep and get a simple short answer, she will talk your leg off about them. Despite this Elize has little interest in anything else or anyone else the majority of the time.
History: Elize was born to Michael and Terra Vanzant, the alpha pair to a small pack in the south of France. Her pack was small only about 45 wolves strong as there is simply too much civilization there for a large pack like can occur in the Americas. As the heir of the pack Elize was treated like a princess though she wasn't exactly fond of it or the training and prestige associated with the title. She was happy with her life and at least okay with being the heir by the time she was 16. However, shortly after her 17th birthday things came crashing horribly down for Elize, she barely escaped with her life. A team of old school lycan hunters discovered them, someone in the pack had been caught and had ratted the rest of the pack out. No one but Elize survived and that was because the pack protected her until their last breaths. They escorted her to a ship with money and some goods and turned to face their attackers to prevent them from stopping the ship. When she reached the East Coast it took her nearly a year to find a pack that would take her. The Blue Ridge pack accepted her and she integrated herself carefully into the mix, adopting her parents old profession of raising sheep.
Extra?: N/A

Name: Viviana Page
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Rank: Adult Female
Trade: Carpenter



Personality: Her sociability is better described as functional anti-social, usually making sure her conversations go right to the point as soon as possible, she prefer to spend her free time alone, either carving something (With knifes usually, sometimes with claws), cutting some wood, reading one of the old travel guides she collects or just strolling around. Make no mistake however, as she is a proud werewolf and will stand together with the pack when its necessary and she makes sure she keeps her physical form in check.
Yet when she thinks that soon she should find a mate and have pups something feels off, meanwhile the wolf side is truly content with the current situation the human side still feels like she should be unchained and free to let her wanderlust guide her. On the other side it is noticed she has an affinity with children, particularly after she took the habit of being a storyteller in the nights (Being an older sister she ended up having to read a lot for her siblings) and giving wood figures or belts to the kids which behaved well.

History: She is from Wyoming, born in a werewolf family who tried to just "avoid" their side as much as they could, her older brother and her younger sisters were pretty content on living just in the ranch, she was not, when she became 19 she said she was leaving for college when in truth what she did was search for a pack in the nearby wilderness. Sometimes she sends letters to the old house, mainly because of her younger sisters, who she was very fond off.

Extra: Also know a bit about leatherworking, nothing too fancy, but just like she likes to carve wood figures she also likes to make detailed belts detailing moments of the tribe.

Name: Luke Douglas
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Rank: Pup
Trade: None at the moment.





Personality: Luke is solitary; while he prefers being alone and not being bothered, there are people who he'll open up to and accept into his little "circle of friends" (what he calls it). He is quite short-tempered and gets angry at almost everything, really, whether it's someone moving his book or saying something to him he doesn't like, he'll explode with pretty much anything. While Luke likes to close himself to other people, the few he does accept he cares very much for, to the point where he'd sacrifice anything for them. He does admire the Alpha very much, though, and hoped to one day be as strong as him and be an Alpha himself but for now he has to build his "identity" in the pack if he hopes to rise the ranks at any time. He doesn't know a lot about real combat but he's very eager to get in his first fight against a hostile being; he doesn't want it to be senseless, though, as Luke believes that combat should always have a justification.

History: Luke doesn't know anything about his parents, them having left him and his brother Daniel when they were babies. They were found and taken care of up until age four by a lady that died of ICED and couldn't care for them any longer. He grew up with his brother and together they got food, water, found shelter and basically survived as a team. Early on in their lives (when they were about eight) they found the Big Horn pack and lived there. When they were about 13, Daniel was out looking for food to eat when he was attacked by two hunters who easily killed him (him still being a pup). Every since that day Luke has been looking for the hunters that took down his brother to (hopefully) avenge him.

Extra: Luke loves reading as he finds an "escape" from his real-life, he also enjoys drawing and writing his own stories a lot but he's never gotten around to completely finish a drawing or a story and hopes to do it one day. Every once in a while, he leaves the pack to try and find hunters against his better judgement and spends the whole day out hoping to find the hunters that killed his brother.

Name: Elisa Collins
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Rank: Alpha Female
Spouse: Niall
Trade: Cattle Breeder

Upright Appearance:

Canine Appearance:

Personality: Elisa has two sides to her personality. The beast in her is a free spirit and dislikes remaining still for too long. She dislikes being trapped indoors and would much rather spend her days in the sun and wind, even the rain is preferable to a roof. On the other hand she can sometimes find herself feeling morose and broody as if weighed down by responsibilities that conflict with a soul that wants to soar free. Having lost one family, she is fiercely protective of her new pack.

History: Elisa came from a small close-nit Lycan pack. The entire pack consisted of extended family and they were proud of that purity, considering it a badge of honor. That genetic purity proved to be their undoing when one of the pack contracted the dreaded disease, Interrupted Cell Efficiency Disorder. ICED swept through the pack due to their genetic closeness and quickly wiped them out. Elisa emerged as the only survivor and was taken in by the Blue Ridge Pack. She was in close proximity to multiple Lycans with ICED for several months and yet did not contract the disease herself, implying a possible immunity, or at least resistance, to the disease. The possibility of breeding a bloodline completely immune to the hated illness was too good to pass up and Elisa was taken as Niall's mate despite her relative youth, a position she accepted out of gratitude to her saviour and obligation to her race. Never the less, she has grown a certain fondness for the Alpha since joining the pack.

Extra: Elisa is immune to ICED.

Name: Bryan McNave
Gender: Male
Age:20
Rank: Adult Male
Trade: Famer



Personality: Bryan is a very laid back type of person. He has a very simplistic outlook on life and does
not want or expect much from it. His simple style of living has him focus only on what he has to to and sending the rest of his time to himself. Bryan is not one for confrontation but is never afraid to step up to a fight and deal with any problem that come his way. He could be known as the chill guru who has an answer to every situation. But his cool and seemingly warm exterior is a mask for all the rest of his emotions that lie within.

History: Bryan hails from a pack to east right above New York. He only had his father to raise him, because his mother passed away from ICED. His father thought that Bryan would get it too but he never showed any signs. The Alpha of the pack that he was from died in combat and the New Alpha ran the pack into the ground. After Bryan's father died, he left the pack because there was barley anything left of it by then. He traveled east in search of something new and found the Blue Ridge pack. He has been with them for only a few years but still feels like he has a family. While on his travels, right out side of Ohio he found a small pup and took her with him. He named her Leia after something he saw in a movie. He sort of kinda adopted her but it is not legal on papers but the two of them stick tether.

Extra: Bryan has a deep love and connection with nature. He loves to farm and take care of the plants and whatnot. He also has learned how to take care of children because of his extended time wit Leia.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Name: Leia
Gender: Female
Age: 5
Rank: Pup
Trade: None at the moment



Personality: Leia is a shy and introverted person. She has a habit to try and avoid any new people she does not know and keep to her own safe surroundings. She is very respectful and never questions the authority of those who are above her, but has a deep fear of any Alpha. She does not show any signs of affection towards anyone except Bryan. Also Leia is a mute child due to her trauma.

History: Leia does not know where she comes from or who her parents are. She was living in a orphanage and ran away when Bryan found her. She only remembers a lot of death and that is it. Bryan is like her father, her brother ad her best-friend, the last person she cares about, and some one she is extremely loyal to. She made her way to the Blue Ridge pack along with Bryan and now has been living with him there.

Extra: She does not have many friends and is usually found with Bryan, and likes to pick flowers.

moved to a new home.....

Name: Aurora Collins
Gender: Female
Age: 34
Rank: Alpha Female
Spouse: Niall Collins
Trade: Cook
Upright Appearance:

Canine Appearance:

Personality: Aurora is a very noble wolf. She is by far the diplomat of the two alphas and much more flexible than her mate. She strives for understanding and cooperation between everyone but understands that diplomacy can't solve every problem. Violence is a last resort for Aurora and she will make honest efforts to avoid it if at all possible. She has a passion for cooking that stems from her nurturing attitude toward her pack and acts as something of an unofficial counselor for anyone who needs it. In general Aurora is motherly and diplomatic by nature but most importantly she supports her mate and his decisions even if she herself doesn't necessarily agree with them.

History: Her ancestors were Lycans living among the Siuox tribes, known as Lakota. The Lakota Lycans were forced to merge with the Blue Ridge Pack after the subjugation of the Sioux tirbes and the persecution of hunters who acme over from europe. Aurora is the last surviving descendant of the members of the Lakota Lycans and the direct descendant of the Lakota Alpha Bloodline. Her lineage made her an obvious choice as Niall's mate and she gladly accepted the responsibility associated with becoming the Alpha. Her heritage also gives her a unique perspective compared to the rest of the pack.

Extra?: As a proffessionally trained and certified chef Aurora is more than just a simple cook. She manages the food stores and works with the farmers to create the healthiest and most nutritious food for the pack. She does of course cook for everyone as well.

Name: Saffron Cunningham
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Rank: Medic
Trade: Medic





Personality: Temperamental at best and wholly unpleasant at worst, Saffron is a grumpy, sarcastic, disobliging jerk who seemingly doesn't have any soft spots for anyone. She dislikes authority figures and, while willing to begrudgingly submit to her superiors, will dispute their decisions with gusto. She's both aggressive and passive-aggressive, and her morals are sketchy and ambiguous. She's willing to hide behind her disabilities if she can get away with it.

On the positive side, Saffron is passionate, intelligent, and thorough with her work. She feels deeply responsible for the health of the rest of the pack and is known to be kinder to pups and omegas than she is to higher ranking lycans. Even if she'll complain about something she's incredibly dependable and true to her word; when she says she'll do something, better believe it'll get done. It's difficult to befriend her, but once one does she's willing to throw her day away for them if they need it, and her sense of humor--the fastest way to her heart--is snarky and easy-going.

While she'd prefer to live on her own, she fears that her old injuries would kill her if she tried to leave the pack, and (believing herself to be the best at what she does) worries that no one would be able to take her place if she left.

History: Saffron's father was absent during her childhood, and she doesn't know a lot about him. From what she'd overheard her mother say while she was growing up, she's pieced together that he was a Canadian lycan named Roy who struck out on his own to become a freelance artist. She doesn't know what happened to him after he left her and her mother, only that no one's heard from him since.

Her mother, Sarah Cunningham, was a health practitioner after her own heart. A physical therapist and a gentle midwife, Sarah was the most dependable member in their pack next to her brother, who had been an alpha. Theirs was the Burnham Pack, a group of 20 (give or take) located north of Chicago, right next to Lake Michigan. While growing up, Saffron inherited her mother's talents for healing and developed her own unique, disobliging ways.

When she was nineteen, the pack entered a quarrel with the locals outside their territory, which climaxed in physical conflict. Killed or injured were thirteen humans and the alpha pair, Sarah, and two pups were dead or missing by the end. Saffron slipped down the bank of the lake while running from the attack and pinched herself between two slabs of slate, and in freeing herself she punctured the skin on her left side and pinched a nerve. While she could dress the wounds herself, surgery wasn't available to fix the internal damage, and she had to learn how to get around the numbness and the aches.

The pack dissipated and Saffron struck out on her own, finding the Blue Ridge Pack (medic-less, at the time) a year later. In exchange for protection Saffron offered the medical expertise her mother had taught her, and three years later she's managed to keep that position.

Extra:

-She suffers from chronic headaches and pain from her waist down.

-She's openly homosexual.

-Speaks in Light Salmon

Name: Pietro Johnson-Angelov
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Rank: Adult Male
Trade: Merchant





Personality: Angelov comes off as silver-tongued, intellectually aggressive, and selfish, basically a bag full of witty comebacks and neurotic behavior. He's typically a calm individual who enjoys being in his wolf form, and enjoys jilting lovers even more--unfortunately, with the move there isn't a lot of available fish in the sea, but he'll make due.

Underneath his cocky exterior he's easily hurt and he doesn't like to bother others with his spurned emotions. Hyper aware of his own inadequacies and believing himself to be incapable of being useful, Pietro loathes himself to an extent; he doesn't even believe that mating will be a viable option for him. (He's too flighty, too selfish, too transparent to be loved for who he truly is).

He's very paranoid and holds an extreme distrust for anyone outside of the pack, towards whom he'd play the manipulative Willy Wonka of the team. He tries his best with them, however, hoping to strike a bargain; being the charmer that he is he's not terrible at it. Leave the wooing to him.

Inside the pack he's fiercely loyal. Although telling people how he feels is against his nature, he's outgoing enough to ask a friend if something's up and try to fix the problem, if he can--his solutions usually consist of 'Hey, let's party and hunt down a caribou or something'. He's prone to dragging on his peers, and expects them to do the same for him.

History: Born to Nico and Moira Johnson-Angelov of Italy and Wales respectively, he was the smaller of twin brothers--and so it always was. The second to be born, the second to walk, the second to eat, and second best to his brother, Gus, in Nico's eyes. Growing up in his Gus' shadow, Pietro recklessly and ineffectually sought his father's approval, often resulting in either getting in trouble with his pack or putting himself in harm's way.

As the years went on and Nico ever looking down his nose at him, Pietro began to assume there was something wrong with himself.

When they were six years old, Gus already barrel-chested and bright eyed, the pack relocated from the UK to America. Life proceeded as smoothly as it could have, and at 20 Pietro threw in the towel on his family and left to find somebody who'd appreciate him. And here we are.

Extra?: With Ry gone, I figured I'd just take merchant. Speaks in Light Cyan.

Name: Tomas Collins
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Rank: Pack Male
Trade: Butcher



Personality: A complex bundle of emotions, Tomas is a box waiting to be unraveled. On the surface is a genuinely carefree wolf. His casual demeanor and natural charisma seems inherited in the blood. That however, seems to be all that was inherited. He's a wolf that avoids killing if at all possible, preferring for his adversaries to feel the sting of defeat. During his travels, he learned to appreciate life in a way that wakes him obnoxiously optimistic.

History: Tomas was born to Keenan and Emelia Collins later into their Alpha terms. A birth wholly unexpected. Like his brother and sister before him, his parents made sure he had honed his skills in the most efficient of ways. However, they died shortly after retiring from head. It was a heavy blow. On top of losing a sister that he had never known—but oddly felt deep in his blood—he had now lost his mother and father. Condemned to a heavy heart, Tomas went through a dark phase. One where he rebelled against his brother and sister's better judgment, rules, and orders. He was often fighting with them, which led to him feeling ostracized and misunderstood. Eventually, when he turned eighteen, he decided to leave.

In that time, he explored the world with youthful exuberance. Years later he felt a change in himself, a shift in the pendulum of his heart. Tomas realized that he missed his home, his family. So he packed his things, left the small caravan of people he had traveled with, and headed back towards the Blue Ridge pack. Ready to mend his departure.

Extra: Immune to ICED.

Name: Dana Masaka-Zäna

Gender: Two-Spirit _{(goes by either pronoun, slight preference for she/her/hers/etc.)}

Age: 36

Rank: Omega

Trade: General Store Cashier


Personality: Put simply; that of a bored slacker and a master of wasting potential and time.

On the surface, Dana seems very blase, even resentful of their work. They give off much of the same attitude as a stereotypical stoner & underachiever, not caring what anyone else thinks and doing only the bare minimum to get by, vocationally... Pack duty wise... in everything that isn't a major interest to them. Their calm demeanor stems from her laziness, and in fact she also does have a bit of a temper, threatening those whom they perceive as committing slights against themselves, the pack, or one of the few things they have any passion toward. When agitated they can be very combative, typically engaging in random destruction as stress relief and once every full moon, they may want to fight. The sight of their full temper is rare however, as they are mostly distracted by something to numb their senses, such as music or copious amounts of alcohol.

However, their temper may stem from desperation and a desire to being doing something 'greater' with her life, Dana looks at humans with envy; simultaneously feeling trapped in the simple, boring, seemingly monotonous life the Pack has provided to them and longing for the perceived simplicity of human existence, the ability to remain ignorant and follow your dreams with no asterisks. Still, they show staunch loyalty to their pack mates, and a special preference to Omegas, or those they simply find attractive-- (Often finding ways to give them items for free from the store). In and out of combat, Dana can be quite cunning, and relies on figuring out the psychology of any opponents they may come across, upright or canine to win. Failing intellectual victory; Dana cheats to win, and cheats hard.

History: Dana was born of a union between two Packs, each from differing Tribes of Native American skin-walkers. Their mother was a Cheyenne artisan from a Pack of skin-walkers; and their father, a Winnebago man who possessed dominant Lupine genes, was a drunken musician who lived on a reservation. Apparently while playing with his band, the man received a vision --that was then interpreted by his tribal council, Alpha and Medicine Man-- of his ancestral spirits joining with a woman's he had never seen, and creating a savior of sorts. Seeing this as imperative, the man set off immediately, seeing to father the savior that his pack may one day need.

He drove for five days before finding himself utterly lost.

Being forced to walk, the man found himself switching between upright and his wolf-skin at random intervals for comfort, the wilderness was great, and food to hunt was scarce. The man spent two moons wandering the land before collapsing of exhaustion, having exhausted his physical resources and his ancestor's guidance.

When he awoke, he found himself in the care of the woman from his dreams. She, of course, thought he was crazy-- she had only picked him up on her way back into town after visiting a friend for the weekend in the city. The desert road just happened to be a detour she had taken. He claimed it was fate. She claimed it was convenience. He claimed they would make a savior together. She claimed that she was dropping him off at the hospital as soon as they went into town to get his head checked. He asked if he could have a drink first; "It's been a month since I've had scotch." He said. She smiled, and the rest is history.

5 years later, the 'savior' was born. Neither male nor female, but both at the same time; A Two-Spirit child with two last names, born not of a union, but a bond between man and woman all the same. Upon birth, they possessed within their tiny, frail body the spirit of a Winnebago psychic-- that of a Wolf-witch, capable of seeing her enemies movements before they did*. So grey and fast, she almost appeared as though she was a fog upon her enemies. And from his mother's side, the child possessed the lost spirit of a Cheyenne romantic, a Lycan skin-walker. A man who could match two people as one, but never found a mate for himself. He longed for a better life, and often felt unsatisfied with what he did for the pack and tribe, culminating in a tragic suicide-- by firewater.

A legendary She-wolf, and a forgotten Omega.

Dana lived life as a golden child in the two Packs. Being raised wanting for nothing, given celebrity status and around the clock pampering-- Dana grew up bored, wishing for nothing but a 'normal' life, while the witch inside longed for excitement and battle, and the romantic knew that they would never find their match here.

So, when Dana turned 20, they left their Packs, seeking something different. They found it, although not quite ideal, in the Blue Ridge Pack.

_{*Dana isn't actually psychic, that's just a trait of the feminine spirit-- it translates itself into Dana as a longing for the future and excitement. In a similar way to how the masculine spirit translate into Dana's behavior longing for a mate and being an underachiever.}

Extra?:
- The Smiths are Dana's favorite band.
- Whiskey is Dana's drink of choice.
- Dana's aggression may stem from the lack of a mate.
- Dana is well versed in common Lycan religious sects, as well as Winnebago and Cheyenne polytheism, but seems to be an atheist.
