Name:
Adair
Nickname: Snow
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Race: Anaarian Werewolf

Background: Adair is an arctic werewolf, hailing from the far south of Lutetia. He is something of an oddity (though far from unique) for the urban Lutetia City in being a 'pureblood' arctic wolf rather than a mix, born to one of the more feral packs that live in the icy southern regions. He and his mother were exiled from their pack, the Iceborn, when he was born. The Iceborn place great importance on the sanctity of their ruling line, their Alphas mating for life with a female of strong and pure blood. Adair is the result of an affair between the Iceborn's Alpha, Vaysh, and a lowly huntress of the pack, Nieve. When he was born, and his resemblence to his father noted, the scandal was immediate and dire. To save face, his father claimed that his mother, Nieve, had seduced him when he was inebriated and never informed him of the babe - a categorical lie.

Nieve fled the pack to avoid the wrath of Vaysh's mate, who threatened to kill both her and Adair if she stayed. She took to Lutetia City in an attempt to find somewhere she could bring Adair up, and fell in with Baron's pack there. Adair has been raised a member of Baron's pack since he was a baby - given the name 'Snow' for his pure white hair and lineage.

Snow has grown up surrounded by Lutetia's grungy culture, and the punk-biker atmosphere of the Bloodstones' usual hangouts. As a result, he has inherited little of his mother's detached personality and discipline, and instead fits in better with his packmates attitudes towards boozing, drugs and rock'n'roll. But despite growing up surrounded by it, Snow isn't as comfortable and easy with the bloody, violent way of life that being part of the pack entails. While he's no stranger to a fist-fight, he struggles with the more brutal, life-or-death aspects of their existence - disguising that struggle behind a loud mouth and a short temper. His relationship with his mother was strained both by this struggle and by how different they were due to the environments they grew up in, but she was one of the few people that recognised the truth behind his abrasiveness.

Since Nieve died in a recent skirmish with the Scions of Aodhan - killed by a vampire hired by their old enemies - Snow's angstier, angrier side has only grown more pronounced, as he finds himself questioning whether he's cut out for this life at all, while simultaneously hating the idea of abandoning the people he's come to think of as his extended family, and refusing to show his weakness.

Werewolf Traits:

  • Regeneration - Adair heals extremely rapidly, but not instantaneously. Almost no injuries are permanent, with the exception of the total loss of body parts.
  • Enhanced Strength/Agility
  • Enhanced senses (smell/hearing)
  • Wolf Form - When Adair transforms, it is into a powerful and large white wolf, as opposed to a hybrid of wolf and human. He maintains his intelligence in this form, albeit significantly blurred by animal instinct. He can assume this form at will, and leave it at will, except... (see below)
  • Lunar Cycle - Adair is forced to transform during a full moon, but otherwise his abilities are unaffected by its phases.
Standard Equipment:
  • Silver-edged dagger.
  • Shotgun
  • Handgun

Name:
Seri
Nickname: Kitten
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Nationality/Race: Lutetian Werecat

Background: Seri was born in captivity to slavers operating out of a remote location in Issunar. They specialised in capturing magical creatures and selling them on to anything from wizards who wanted them for their magical properties, or rich men and women who wanted them for exotic pets. His mother had been pregnant when she, his father and his older brother were captured while travelling in Northern Lutetia. His parents died during an escape attempt while he was barely weaned off his mother's milk. He and his older brother were recaptured. Despite promising to look after him, his older brother was separated from him not long after that, when he was purchased by a buyer.

Seri came to escape from the slavers by what seemed like a fluke - his cage fell from the table it was on, and the lock broke in the fall. He fled, and never looked back.

In his aimless flight, Seri eventually reached Lutetia. He ended up scrounging on the streets there, using his cuteness as both a little kid and a kitten to beg for scraps. As he grew up, he fell in with the other street-dwellers - mostly werewolves. By merit of growing up around wolves, he shares many similarities with their kind as opposed to his own. What he lacks in physical strength, he makes up for with his superior precision and dexterity. Having spent his life always having something to prove - that despite being a 'little kitten' he can hold his own - he also has a vicious streak a mile long. He's sent more than one wolf twice his size whimpering away with its tail between its legs for not taking him seriously.

Until recently, Seri ran with a haphazard mess of a 'pack' called the Misfits, within the Phantom Quarter. This setup ended when one of their number drew the ire of the Bloodstones by killing civilians on their turf, and their pack leader was presented with the choice of disbanding their pack, or being absorbed into the Bloodstones. It's not been long since Seri became a part of the new pack, and he is far from comfortable with them just yet. Only time will tell whether he decides the danger of sticking around while they're in the middle of a blood feud is worth the roof over his head or not.

Name: Quinn Foley
Age: 34
Gender: Female
Race: Iverian Werewolf

Background: Quinn was always a responsible girl, with the importance of dedication and hard work driven into her by her parents: Fiona, a headteacher and Andrew, an accountant turned craftsman and music-shop owner. Dreams don't come to those who wait, but to those who get their hands dirty. She excelled in school from a young age, eventually going on to graduate university with a degree in Terran literature.

In her twenties, she travelled abroad for a number of years, visiting a wide variety of exotic and dangerous places. Upon her return she took up work as a teacher, having resolved that her... colourful experience across the ocean was more than enough worldly experience to last her a lifetime.

One thing that Quinn has always had trouble with is making good decisions about her partners. After her previous partners have turned out to be variously a drug addict, a professional con-artist and a vampire, she's resolved to avoid dating for the foreseeable future.

Werewolf Traits:

  • Rapid Healing - Quinn heals from most injuries within a day or two, provided she has time to rest and sleep. And eat. Ravenously.
  • Enhanced Strength/Agility - Quinn's slight size and fondness for loose-fitting clothes bely her strength. In human form she has the strength to heft a car, albeit not without exertion, and she certainly won't be throwing it around at all.
  • Enhanced Senses (Smell/Hearing)
  • Wolf Form - By great contrast to her human shape, Quinn's wolf shape is truly enormous, rivalling that of her second cousin Desmond for its sheer bulk and power.
  • Lunar Cycle - Quinn is forced to transform during a full moon, but otherwise her abilities are unaffected by its phases.

Name:
Ashley Foley
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Race: Iverian Werewolf

Background: Unlike his elder sister Quinn, Ashley by nature is a creature of whimsy. Growing up he always had something of an aversion to hard work, preferring to stick to things that came naturally to him. Music was one of those things - after starting to take guitar lessons, he picked up the instrument very quickly, throwing himself into it far more than he ever did his schoolwork. In later years he went on to learn bass guitar as well, in no small part due to there being a lot higher demand for good bassists in bands than guitarists.

In an attempt to teach him the importance of hard work, his parents arranged for him to spend a fair number of his Saturdays working for his second cousin Brendan, helping with his handy-man business (with his guitar held hostage). Though he initially loathed the idea, Ashley eventually got used to the deal (in no small part helped along by the extra spending money) and actually began to enjoy the work, thanks in part due to Brendan's fairly laid-back attitude (and in later years, the beer he smuggled him). Miracles would never cease.

What was less surprising was when he rocked up one day with a beat-up old motorcycle that he'd bought with his wages, because what kind of punk rocker would he be without a bike? A shit one. That's what kind.

Though he graduated high school with decent grades, Ashley has yet to do anything with them, instead making a living with Skye's band as the bassist/backing vocalist. His parents do not approve.

Ash has always been enamored with the idea of the biker-gang life his cousins lived in Lutetia, and brushed off any horror stories as "probably not that bad". Since arriving, he's been excited to explore the city's culture in a way that probably doesn't speak wonders about his sense of responsibility.

Werewolf Traits:

  • Rapid Healing - Connor heals from most injuries within a day or two, provided he has time to rest and sleep.
  • Enhanced Strength/Agility - Like his sister, Connor is a lot stronger than his appearance would suggest. He's not quite as strong as Quinn, but can still pack quite the punch.
  • Enhanced Senses (Smell/Hearing)
  • Wolf Form - Connor's wolf form is reasonably large, but not near as big as his elder sister's.
  • Lunar Cycle - Connor is forced to transform during a full moon, but otherwise his abilities are unaffected by its phases.

Name:
Valérie Lachance
Age: 87
Gender: Female
Species: Werewolf, Lutetian

Synopsis/Bio: Valérie was born to pack life, and from a young age learned that survival was about strength - not just physical strength, but also strength of will. If you let anyone put you in the dirt, whether it was literal or figurative, you showed weakness. And that called the vultures. As a result, she strove to become a woman who exuded power in every glance, every step and every word. Looking and acting like you mean business is half the battle - and will avoid as many fights as it causes.

To an outsider looking in, Valérie is convinced of few things more than she's convinced of her own badassery. She's a strutting alpha-bitch, with an image that's part diva, part punk, and all mean. She talks down to people a lot when she sees that they deserve it, but for her packmates - those she cares for - she equally talks them up when she sees that they need it. That said, she takes no shit. She is far from all talk, and is more than willing to throw down to make her points stick.

Valérie deals in drugs in a small-time way, and takes part in illegal street-fights for money, a pair of pass-times that get her in trouble with the law on a reasonably regular basis. She's a woman of vice - drinking, smoking, fucking and more - all to the edge of excess. But beneath her rock'n'roll exterior is a determined and sharp-witted woman who would give anything for her pack.

Abilities:

  • Regeneration - Valérie heals almost instantaneously from most wounds, and has an incredibly high tolerance for alcohol and drugs.
  • Enhanced Strength/Agility
  • Enhanced senses (smell/hearing)
  • Wolf Form - Valérie's wolf form is that of a bulky biped.
  • Lunar Cycle - Valérie is forced to transform during a full moon, but otherwise her abilities are unaffected by its phases.

Name:
Jason Durand
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Race: Lutetian Werewolf

Backstory: Jason's first memory is of pain. His blood boiling in his body and threatening to tear him apart. Bound to an operating table by chains, watched over by an expressionless being. Black spots that could span moments or days for all he knows are scattered through his memories of that time, but what he does remember, is breaking free. Tearing the chains from their fastenings and lashing out. Fleeing into the wilderness and running. As a man, as a wolf, shifting back and forth as his body attempted to fight ... something inside of him.

Then blackness, and waking up in the slums on the edge of Lutetia City. He was twelve? Thirteen? He can't remember. The Scions found him, naked and bloody - though they were fairly sure it wasn't his blood - and took him in.

As he grew, he realised that he had ... power. Something he didn't fully understand, but when his blood got pumping in a fight and adrenaline filled him, he could hit harder, take more punishment. It took him a long time to wrestle control over it, figure out how to focus that energy into something he could use on demand. But he managed it. Single-mindedness and drive have never been something that he had a hard time with.

His strength earned him respect. Jason still doesn't know what he really is, but he tries not to think about it. As far as he's concerned, he's a werewolf with the Scions of Aodhan. And that's good enough.

Werewolf Traits:

  • Regeneration - Jason's natural werewolf regeneration is semi-instant, allowing him to heal from even major injuries in a matter of minutes. Further, the abilities in his blood allow him to withstand injuries that would kill even other werewolves until this healing can kick in. In times of peak adrenaline and fury, he's capable of regrowing entire limbs mid-fight.
  • Enhanced strength/agility
  • Enhanced senses
  • Wolf Form - Jason's transformation is into a bipedal black-furred werebeast standing at near 12 foot tall, its eyes a luminous crimson and its veins pulsing bright beneath its thick, leathery skin. This form can bear even more of the power from his blood, making him a terrifying enemy. However he loses most of his awareness and intelligence while shifted, having a tendency to rampage until either he exhausts himself, or Rowan shouts him down.
  • Lunar Cycle - Jason transforms under the full moon, but otherwise is unaffected by it.
Powers:
  • Strength - With focus or adrenaline, Jason's physical strength skyrockets. His lower arms are wrapped in energy, allowing him to deliver devastating blows on par with the most powerful werewolves despite his younger age, slamming through walls and tossing cars around like nothing.
  • Resilience - Jason's body is tough. Most werewolves are. But something else fuels his resilience as well. An average human's punch is unlikely to phase him at all (it's more likely to hurt their fist), or a knife wound. Whilst gunshots will break the skin, they seldom do much. Stronger creatures like particularly powerful werewolves, or more powerful weapons, are more capable of harming him.
  • Other - The power in Jason's blood can be erratic at times. The full extent of what he is capable of, willingly or otherwise, hasn't been fully revealed to even himself.

Name: Rachelle Bellerose
Age: 46
Species: Werewolf
Gender: Female
Nationality: Lutetian

Synopsis: Rachelle is the daughter of a relatively wealthy patron of the Rollin' Bones Casino, and one of the Scions of Aodhan's female pack members. Her mother was killed in conflict with the Bloodstone pack when she was in her teens, and her father showed little interest in interacting with her beyond providing her with financial support out of a sense of obligation. She has put some of that money to use in paying for martial arts lessons with a number of teachers, learning to wield both her own body and a number of different weapons to great effect.

Rachelle has little time for anyone who can't pull their own weight, and prides herself on her deadliness. Where other werewolves might enjoy a brutal brawl, she prefers the efficiency of weaponry in all cases. The cleaner the kill, the better. She collects weapons, and seldom leaves her home without at least five knives and a handgun hidden on her person.

Werewolf Traits:

  • Regeneration - Rachelle heals rapidly, possessing close to true regeneration. Even deep wounds will knit themselves together in a matter of minutes or less.
  • Enhanced Strength/Speed - Rachelle is not as strong as some other werewolves, but makes up for it with her reflexes and speed being far above par.
  • Enhanced Senses (smell/hearing) - Though not an exceptionally outstanding tracker, Rachelle hovers somewhere above the average for her packmates in this regard.
  • Wolf Form - Rachelle can shift into two different wolf shapes. The first is that of a simple wolf, not much larger than an average example of the species. The second is a hybrid shape, bipedal and powerful. Even in this form, she favours speed and dexterity over brute force, remaining fully capable of operating firearms and wielding weapons.
  • Lunar Cycle - Though she must shift during a full moon, Rachelle is otherwise in full control of her shifting. The form she shifts to at this time is the full wolf form.
Standard Equipment:
Rachelle owns a large collection of classical weaponry in addition to her firearms. Most of these are modern reconstructions, forged with modern capabilities from superior alloys. Her skill with each melee weapon varies due to having more training with some than others. She is most practised with her shortswords, greatsword, and staff/glaive.
