Would something like this fly? Bear with me, trying something new out here with the genre and the use of IRL face claims/pics and all!

The Borgersen family hasn't been in town for long, and the reputation they've built isn't entirely positive so far. Not quite used to the culture of greeting and talking to your neighbours, the silent, reclusive Artair and his potential shewolf can come across as cold, distant and even suspicious to some of the members of the community — especially when patrolling the streets in the early hours of the morning or late at night, wordless and armed. As for where the Borgersens came from and what Alistair does for a living, there are only guesses and rumours circulating about, some less complimentary than the others. He can be seen outside on his porch at odd hours of the day though, and he never seems to leave his house long enough to go to a workplace; rather, whenever he leaves, it's most often with a thermos, a backbag and the dog in tow.

B O R G E R S E N, A R T A I R || P A T R I A R C H B O R G E R S E N, A R T A I R || P A T R I A R C H _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A loner at heart, Artair prefers the company of his dog to most people, and isn't very often seen interacting with others in the neighborhood. That doesn't mean, however, that he dislikes people. On the contrary, it's just that he's perfectly content watching the people around him live their lives happily, separate from his own. He feels he doesn't really know how to interact with them in a way would contribute to their lives, anyway. Instead, he prefers to show that he cares through actions. That is, he and Taiga patrol around the neighbourhood quite often, keeping an eye out for zombies and opportunistic outsiders alike. Ever vigilant, yet ever quite-suspicious-looking to the local folk. If it weren't for the copious amount of smoking he does and the nightmares that sometimes keep him from getting any proper shut eye, his lifestyle could be described as pretty healthy. After all, regardless of how little he slept, he can be found on a jog with Taiga every single morning before the sun rises, without exception. ▅

T A I G A || C O M P A N I O N T A I G A || C O M P A N I O N _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A rescue mutt who Artair claims rescued him, not vice-versa. She quite literally walked into Artair's life as a young pup, and hasn't left his side since. Due to her appearance, she gets mistaken for a wolf quite often (even Artair made the mistake at first, and to this day cannot say for sure whether she has some wolfdog in her), which makes many people mistrust her and give her a wide berth. At an estimated six years old, her crazy puppy days are long past. Confident and calm, she's an observer much like her owner, hardly phased by noise or the various small critters that pass through the neighbourhood. Her alarm bark is loud, but used sparingly. She does howl quite often, though, which doesn't exactly help with the wolf allegations. She's not too keen on most people, preferring to leave them alone and be left alone in turn, but there are a select few she likes allows to touch her, chosen by criteria even Artair isn't privy to.▅ ▅

Do you guys have a code for the ic posts? They look really nice!

Oh awesome, thank you so much! Also, did you want us to post our characters in the character tab?

<Snipped quote by Morgannis>

Well, you were accepted, duh.

If you have any questions, though, I'll be off and on today due to work. I get out earlier than typically today so if I don't get to it expect s reply then.

I've been a bit under the weather lately, missed the premiere. I read your introductory posts. I am pleased to see the quality of your submissions. I hope to post mine tonight.

I expect teenaged children who live in the same neighborhood and attend the same school have some familiarity with one another, if not haveing been friends for their entire lives.

Also, as for the teens, just let me know if you think of anything. Lee and Holly have been preestablished from the prior RP to have been childhood friends from the beginning, their families being all buddy-buddy neighbors and stuff.

His Aunts Claire and Barbara have lost contact with the family. Jacob does not know what happened to these women.

@MorgannisHow about Emily Bailey, 15 and Jenn Gauthier, 16. They are close in age and grew up in the same neighborhood?

Luca Bailey, 12 and Kyle Gauthier, 14 May have hung around one another at times.
