[OOC] Werewolves in the City

[Leviathan]

[Leviathan]

good good. ^^ Just making sure since there have been incidents where writers take offence to character's actions. I guess it happens quite often though I haven't experienced it yet.

& there will be tension from Zoey's end, at least. :]

bahaha!

It wasn't my sentence to correct though I did internally struggle with wanting to. XD

on another note I apologize if there will be double posts. My computer or the guild is making posting difficult at the moment. >.>

If you post and go to a white screen, instead of refreshing you can go to your history and click the page in there. It won't double post ^_^

Name: Jethro Malcolm Sawyer
Age: 58
Position: Alpha
Job: Jethro is unemployed but considers leading and teaching the pack to be a full-time job.

Appearance: Human | Wolf

History: Jethro makes no attempt to conceal his past from his kin. He contracted Lycanthropy many years ago, when travelling in Siberia as a child. His family was slaughtered by the werewolves that then took him in, as was their way. They saw humans as little more than food and used their attacks as a way to not only find food but to increase their numbers. Jethro barely remember his original family now, but he remembers the decade and a half he spent among the Siberian pack, living out in the wild, hunting and exploring as a wolf. The other's wished to give up their humanity and become wolves, but Jethro wasn't satisfied with such a life and so one night, when everyone was asleep, he slipped away from the pack and never looked back.

Jethro, in time, made his way back to his own home nation and joined a small pack of werewolves. He proved himself and able fighter and, as was his right, he challenged the previous Alpha for leadership. Thei fight was a long and violent one, but finally Jethro stood victorious and took his place as Alpha. He took his role as leader and teacher very seriously, combining his own beliefs with what he had learned from the Siberians to form a creed of sorts, driven by one central tenet: Survival of the Fittest.

Personality: Jethro has a powerful force of presence and it used to other's listening when he speaks. He rarely raises his voice and is stern and unflinching in his decisions. He believes in survival of the fittest, that we fight our way into this world, kicking and screaming, and that all werewolves must master themselves or be destroyed. He also sees lycanthropy not as a curse, but as a gift. To be able to experience the world as a wolf, but with the mind of a human can be nothing short of gift, a gift that shouldn't be squandered by those who wish to live only as humans or only as wolves. He is a powerful and stern figure, but not an unkind one. He sees the pack as his family and would happily die to protect all of them.

Goal in Life: To ensure the survival of the pack.

Other: Despite his age, Jethro is still a powerful figure. He is lean and well built, his body covered in countless scars from a life of struggling for survival.

Oh well we have an Alpha I suppose, provided that application gets past the GM.

Anyway I have a question. How do we communicate as wolves? Can we speak or do we communicate telepathically?

[Leviathan]

Probably telepathically? Maybe? That would be neat. Maybe they can hear every thought the wolf is thinking too? Just a thought.

& NotFish that gif is utterly adorable. Can't stop watching it. XD

Yay, got an Alpha. ^^

[Obscene Symphony]

I would assume they'd communicate through regular wolf behaviour such as body language and howling (for further distance communication). I don't think telepathy or anything is needed, since their wolf instincts would make it so they would understand all the body language and verbal cues. Makes it more realistic, eh?

EDIT also I think I'm going to write an intro post now, since Cal has oh so nicely given me a reason to. However, I'm not going to have Sierra meet anyone yet. Just a glimpse into her life right now. It'll make sense.

[Obscene Symphony]

Oh, and does anyone know what the weather is like? Is it cold IC?

[Mayadere]

I would assume it was a bit chilly. o_o Anywhere I have lived, late night/earlyearly morning is kind of cold.

Especially if it's around the Seattle area like the GM had said before. Washington tends to be colder since its up north by Canada.

[Obscene Symphony]

Is this supposed to be the current season? Because, and I don't know about Seattle, but I live in Canada and it isn't very cold just yet. I hope it's cold IC. Also, does anyone know what happens to clothing when they shift? I would assume that they just shift and the clothes fall off, and they just have to re-dress afterward. That would make the most sense, right?

I'm guessing the weather will be a lot like yours, but with a lot more rain. I'm from Texas so I don't know when exactly it will get cold. I know how cold it can get though bc I spent my boot camp in Illinois during the winter. As for the clothes, that would make more sense if we're trying to be realistic.

[Dragonbud]

I'm in maine, so it's pretty much cold every night.

[Arrayah]

I lived in Washington for awhile. Think of it like London. It pretty much rains all the time and its near water so it tends to be chilly most months especially at night. If were going by the season it is now people will be in pants and maybe jackets.

[Obscene Symphony]

It must be warmer here because I'm on the coast.

[Arrayah]

Also everyone who has posted a CS is accepted and can post whenever they'd like

[Leviathan]

thank ye Arrayah & posted. ^^

[Obscene Symphony]

Hey Leviathan, it's still dark out, I think we've decided on 3am. So the shaft of sunlight doesn't really make sense.

Jeez, that sounded really short. It wasn't meant to be!!

[Arrayah]

Text always makes people sound more irritated than they are :(
