Not presently active, but there's a Chatzy I've started for players to talk in more easily than the OOC thread. This may help for discussing posting and character relations. I'd link it up, but that doesn't seem to work. It'll probably be more active in a few hours.
Does breaking the curse involve a romantic relationship, or something more physical? If it's the latter, than I can completely understand why age would be an issue. My character has been a wolf for an extremely short amount of time, and I was planning on having her turn 16 soon anyway, but I can easily make her older if you want.
Nah, nothing physical is required for the curse to be broken - just the emotional bond. I'm just worried that if you're seeking to play out the romance line, you might struggle to find a partner due to her age. A year or two older might make a considerable difference.

Name: Nikolina "Nina" Ivanova Age: 17 Gender: Female Sexual Preference: Panromantic (A person who is romantically attracted to others but is not limited by the other's sex or gender. Meaning she is more interested in having a romantic relationship [especially due to her current age] than a sexual relationship.) Appearance Nina stands at roughly 5'6" in her human form. Her dark hair in naturally curly but she often wears it wavy and occasionally straight. Her eyes are brown. Nina wears clothing that usually compliments her slim yet hourglass figure and feminine curves.
Pack member or loner: Loner Pack name: n/a Pack position: n/a
Personality: Around allies Nina can be quite antagonistic. She has no problem voicing her opinion about things, especially when she believes the person/wolf she is speaking to is beneath her. When facing enemies or potential threats Nina can be down right evil. She has a sometimes unhealthy obsession with making others bleed and scream.
Her heart may be black, but it still beats. Nina does have the ability to love and nurture, yet her kinder side is rarely seen by others. Only those who can truly earn her trust and loyalty will be privileged enough to experience her softer side.
Strengths (at least 3):
Supernatural Stamina - Nina's body is highly resistant to the build-up of fatigue toxins in her blood, allowing her to be physically active for considerably longer periods of time than the average member of the her's species. So even though she may not be as strong or fast as her opponent Nina will most definitely out last them.
Urban Tracking - Nina is an excellent hunter in urban settings where scents, sounds, and lights can overlap and sometimes overwhelm the senses.
Vicious - Nina does not pull punches with her enemies and knows how to exploit their weaknesses.
Weaknesses (at least 3):
Arrogance - Nina has an overabundance of confidence in her abilities and her looks. If this was a teen drama series Nina would be the 'Queen Bitch" of the school.
Unforgiving - Slighting Nina or doing wrong by her is not recommended. It may very well end an alliance, friendship, or your life.
Sadistic - She enjoys inflicting pain and suffering on her opponents a little too much.
Townie Nina is more comfortable in urban settings than she is the wild. She prefers to live her life in towns and small cities than she running around in the woods, so her woodland survival skills aren't all that great.
Newbie - New to town, Nina has yet to fully grasp the culture and geography of the town and the surrounding area.
History: Nikolina Ivanova was the only daughter and child to two loving parents. Throughout her childhood she was loved and spoiled by her family. While not millionaires, Nina's family was quite wealthy.
During the summer of her fifteenth year, Nina, her parents, and her neighbors went camping near the Appalachian Trail. A couple mountain men came into their campsite frightening Nina and the two neighbor kids so that their screaming immediately startled their parents awake. The adults tried to get the two strangers to leave, but they refused. The men carrying rifles yelled at the families, stating they shouldn't be the mountains for it was too dangerous. Suddenly from out of the darkness of the forest three very large wolves charged the campsite. Within the chaos that ensued young Nina was scratched by one of the lupines.
Life for Nina would slowly start to spiral out of control. On the next full moon after the attack Nina suffered her first change... and very nearly died. The beast that now lived inside the girl was angry, arrogant, and hungry. She had trouble controlling her transformations and emotions in those early months. She became a danger to her family, friends and virtually anyone she met.
Until she met Leeana. Leeana was a gorgeous Japanese girl with beautiful amber eyes and long thick hair dyed silvery white. She smelled of peach and roses. Leeana was also a werewolf. Nina eventually learned to trust the Asian wolf, and Leeana gladly took Nina under her wing. Over the next twelve months Nina and Leeana would developed a strong bond. Not only were they teacher and student, they soon became romantically involved. Seven months ago Nina moved in with Leeana and her foster family who were also werewolves. Leeana was Nina's first love.
Five months ago, hunters invaded Leeana's family home. The family were murdered in their home and the house burned to the ground, but miraculously Nina managed to escape death. She would move back in with her parents.
Things were stable for a little while until Nina's supernatural nature was accidently revealed to her family.Not wanting to place her parents in any more danger than she had already Nina planned to leave once again. But, hunters found her again. Her mother was severely injured in the battle. Filled with guilt and anger and emptying her rather large bank account, Nina left her hometown in Virginia.
Nina arrived in Odessa roughly fourteen days ago. After only four days she bought a small, two story building just off of main street with the intent of using much of the second story as living quarters and the first floor as a place of business.
Other:
Kendo Stick - This training weapon belonged to Leeana. Nina is not trained in it's use nor does she intend to use as a weapon. The charred memento of her first love hangs above Nina's bed.
Nina wears a necklace and ring she received from her mother on her 16th birthday. The metal of both pieces of jewelry is silver and the stones are lapis lazuli.
Westfield Books - Named after her first love, Nina has spent a good chunk of her savings on a small two story building located just off of Main Street. Much of the upper floor is devoted to her living quarters while the first floor is open to the public. Westfield Books sells both new and used books, and has a healthy occult/new age selection. The basement of the building stores Nina's personal book collection as well as a few collector's editions.
When I first started working on her I was going to have Nina be the Bolverk. She was originally going to be about 25 and have recently lost her mate and child to either hunters or some freak accident.
Name: "The Winter Rose" Originally Anna Roberts but goes by multiple aliases. Age: 19 Gender: Female Sexual preference: Whatever is required. Mostly asexual but missions usually require a sensual touch. Human or werewolf: Human Hunter
Standing at just below five foot, four inches, Anna isn't what most would describe as a threatening Hunter. Although she looks fit enough, she looks in no way ready to take on any werewolf. That's what makes her so good and that's probably why she has so many registered kills with only a few years of hunting under her belt. In terms of actual physical appearance, her hair is a shade of blonde so light that it can almost appear white or even silver at times. Her eyes are a gentle hazel-green colour. Overall, her features contribute to a look of innocence which allows her to gain entry to Wolf Packs and tear them apart from the inside.
Strengths (at least 3):
A great actress and deceiver with the ability to build an entire false life upon lies.
Intelligent with a deadly cunning
Pretty cute - she can usually attract a high-ranking werewolf without much initiative on her own part.
Weaknesses (at least 3):
Very weak compared to other hunters. If it comes down to a proper fight with one, chances are she'll choose to run instead of fighting it head-on.
Can let anger cloud her judgement and is usually fuelled by anger itself.
Can sometimes build an attachment to her prey that can get in the way of the mission.
Personality: Even amongst werewolf hunters, Anna isn't well-received. Her methods are said to be much too barbaric and brings her too close to werewolf society for her own safety. Not like she cares, of course, she's mostly separated from a lot of the werewolf hunting organisations and will only use them to gather intelligence on a particular prey. The reasons why her methods are viewed as barbaric is that Anna lives two entirely different lives.
On the outside, Anna appears to be a quirky girl who's curious beyond redemption and quick to laugh. It's all a facade, of course - it's her trap that drags in unsuspecting werewolves who would be attracted to her. Females or males, it doesn't really matter. Once Anna finds a target she carries out her mission and eradicates them and possibly members of their pack depending on her cover.
In realty, Anna is cold, calculating and not above using her body or her looks to kill those who she views as her enemies. Hatred powers her motives and anger clouds her morality. If she hasn't developed any form of relationship with the target, she can kill them with ease. She neither cares for their story nor their apparent innocence. Werewolves are werewolves and eventually, one day, they'll be consumed by the beast inside of them. Instead of dealing with them when that happens, like many of her comrades prefer to do, she does some pre-emptive striking, making sure to kill them off before they lose control.
Eager to kill and not above using everything in her arsenal to do so, Anna is a deadly hunter with little to no failed missions. Killing is all she knows now. Killing is all she'll ever know.
History: Anna was orphaned at a young age after the disappearance of her father and the death of her mother. For a while, her sister and her roughed the streets before they were taken in by an orphanage and raised by the state. They were passed from foster parent to foster parent without anyone ever stopping to even consider adopting them. Who would ever want some vagabond blond and her little sister?
So they existed for the majority of their young lives. Her sister did some things she shouldn't have to help them get by and to try and put Anna through school. Adoption was a lot more likely if the child looked like they could go onto college, after all. Her sister made some sacrifices for her but things began to pick up. There were talks of them getting adopted by a young couple who couldn't have children and Anna was flourishing in school.
Things have a way of being nice to you for a while but then the world finally catches up to you and pulls you down into the dirt. Her sister fell in with the wrong crowd. She was a bombshell so it was no surprise that she garnered the attention of a newly-turned Werewolf. Although the wolf himself wasn't too bad, the pack he was in were less than approving. Their relationship was heavily frowned upon and when the Ulfric caught wind of it, he knew that he had to crack down hard to make sure that none ever dared mate with a normal human - it was bad for the pack's image. He had both Anna and her sister taken in.
No one really knows what happened inside the pack's headquarters but only one teenage girl walked away from it, a bloody silver blade in hand. That girl was not Anna Roberts. Anna Roberts died in that building.
Over the years, tales of a Hunter that is like none other have spread. The reports are garbled and not overly clear but they do details a few features of their assailant. Lips redder than blood and hair as white as snow. A cold beauty with an icy hatred. A winter rose.
Other: Has a scar along her left thigh that appears to be some sort of scratch. When out hunting, she only arms herself with a curved silver blade.
Hmm, a friend's been telling me about this for a while and I have to say, I'm interested. Now that lacrosse season is over, my schedule's opened up more so I'm joining more RPs. If you'll have me, I'd like to join.
