I suppose getting out would help. Probably an outdoor mall sounds good enough to me, now is this in regards Austin or Kabiki? Wanted to ask, I'm powering off of the last braincell I have, so just wanted that clarification

I suppose I'm back. Will get those characters done up, beyond that, I've got Austin (Alpha/Midnight) and Kabiki (Blackthorne). I know there's one of y'all with a little shop I intend to get involved with here soon, but if y'all got ideas, suggestions, or plot points you'd want to visit, lemme know. I'm your huckleberry.

"Right... One water." Toshiro said as he reached across Kari for a split second, his right arm opening up a mini-fridge that was tucked beneath one of the seats. He opened it up to grab a cold bottle, noticing the lady's scent which seemed to catch his attention all the more. It was something sweet which caused him to linger just a couple seconds longer before snapping out of it. Pulling the bottle from the fridge and closing the door Toshiro handed the water to Kari before resting back in his seat. Perhaps he was a tad closer than before but maybe it was also the pair just seeing things. Just as he was about to say something, Toshiro felt the vehicle doors shut in the compartment in front of them, music starting to play and muffled voices could be heard through the wall that separated them. Again, he was starting to speak when the phone in his pocket vibrated, proceeding to roll his eyes and pull it out. Upon seeing what number was calling he would click the green button on the screen. The speaker was on and a deeper voice immediately crackled over the line, "Whataburger or sushi?" "Both," Toshiro then hung up, he opened his mouth but closed it, looked at the phone and decided to put it on mute. Then he moved and pressed the child safety lock on the wall in front of him and Kari to ensure they wouldn't be interrupted. And finally he sat down just slightly closer to Kari and said, "Okay, so if I'm guessing where he'll be going first, I'm gonna assume we'll be heading to a sushi restaurant first. Afterwards I'm not even sure what we'll be doing, knowing my brother, he's got some crazy event going on. But... How are you these days? The whole "Knight " thing working out as of late?"

"If you say so... She just turned eighteen didn't she? How uhh... You know if she's available?" One of the guys asked. "Ain't worth it," The other responded, "Besides if Eric gets back home soon, would you rather deal with his wrath, or the Old Man's? Never stick your dick in crazy, had an uncle who did that and he became a baby daddy to a psyche ward, whole god-damned family was nothing but drama." There was a pause and then the first man continued, "Fair point. Fair point. But still-" "She's bisexual, leaning more towards chicks if I remember right." As the men finished packing up their kill, rifles slung around their bodies, they would decide to leave the remains with a little bit of meat leftover onto it for the local wildlife. No need to get greedy. Once they packed their bags full of the packaged meat, the pair headed toward a river nearby, one taking a turn to wash their hands and arms whilst the other held the equipment. "Bro that's fucking lame! How come the chicks I like are either bi or gay?!" The same guy asking about Bella exclaimed. The other shrugged, finishing washing his hands, "Beats me, maybe it's a sign from God that you need one of them country gals. Shit, knowing your luck, might end up getting rejected by one that's lesbian." "Don't jinx it, dude, can't go online dating anymore after the whole stalker thing with Gerald." "Wait, you had that meathead stalk you?" The second man handed the equipment and bags over and started to make his way toward the river bank, "Yeah, how'd you not hear about that? Son of a bitch was cat fishing young men and was kidnapping them, sheriff found a lot of bodies buried in the guy's dad's farm. Guess I was the wrong and last one, busted through a window with a trench knife and I put a bird shot right into his face. Somehow survived, but that happened... What, three years ago? Kinda feel bad for Gerald's dad, man's nicer than most."

Following suit, Toshiro would close the door behind himself, finding a seat in the other corner next to Kari. Between his legs on the floor was a small sports bag and upon opening it, Toshiro pulled out a black T-shirt and started to undo the tie to his suit. Once the tie he been taken completely off, Toshiro proceeds to take off his outer coat revealing a white shirt beneath and carefully folded it, placing it beside him. What didn't necessarily click in his head was that Kari was very much present, he was used to being around Teru and Takamo so when he slipped off his shirt to reveal his torso, when in rome, one guessed; the massive scar across his chest from their first encounter still present amongst the muscular aesthetic he had. After placing the folded suit and the used shirt into the bag, Toshiro would finally slip on the black T-shirt he originally pulled and then looked over to Kari, realization striking him. He paused, the two braincells he had for the day finally colliding and giving the idea that maybe taking his pants off in front of the poor girl wasn't a good idea either. Then again, it was a first time for everything. Clearing his throat, Toshiro really wanted to clear the air of any embarrassment between the two. "Sorry... I uhh... Usually don't have other company," Toshiro said, trying to sign up an excuse for undressing himself, "You... You need a water?"

The vehicle Toshiro and Kari walked towards was the elongated Hummer limousine that he arrived in, and while shorter than usual it was still bigger compared to most vehicles at the event. With the man approaching the back of the vehicle he would open the rear passenger side door revealing a fine and luxurious interior. The seats were black with a red trim, with the windows being tinted for privacy from the outside. The back of the Hummer alone could fit at least fit seven people into it and some space left over, ahead was a wall with an interior roll down window that led into the next cabin which was much larger. "We'll be having the back here, knowing my brother and Kyouka, they'll be riding with their friends in the middle," Toshiro said, gesturing for Kari to climb in, "Ladies first."

//Sorry for the wait boss, been busy with work.// In the distance there was some twig snapping. At first it could've been a branch falling from a tree however it happened several other times. And if one were to carefully listen, it sounded like footsteps somewhere behind one Pat. And soonafter, the sound of talking, quiet, but audible to the werewolf. "How you feel about Eric coming back?" A young male said, possibly no older than eighteen. A second male replied, "Not sure. I know Bella'll be happy, his old man? Don't know." Two young men were in the process of cleaning an elk they had hunted, already having it skinned and now they were carving out the meat and wrapping it all up in individual Ziploc and saran wrap. The second hunter was now starting beginning to make cuts around the rips, careful not to slice anything other than edible flesh. The pair had hunting shotguns and were dressed in hunting gear to help blend in with their surroundings, even going as far as to paint their faces in blacks, browns, and greens. "C'mon you were up the guy's ass the entire time he was here!" The first hunter said. "Dude that's because of his sister! She's scary as shit when you say no! Ain't trying to fuck with the consequences." The second replied and now stood up.

//WIP So Ecchi doesn't eat the post I'm making// Name: Samuel Breach Age: 147 Sex: Male Gender: Male Sexuality: Straight Rank: Omega Species: Timber Wolf Personality: Samuel is a reserved man who keeps to himself, quiet and really only speaks when spoken to. He simply watches and observes, making mental notes of who is decent and who isn't, having already known the townsfolk of Pine Heath for several decades now. He can be a bit of smart ass as well, having quips for when they're needed and not as well, he tends to speak his mind if he feels the need to. With owning the Crescent Breach Farms, Samuel tends to stick mostly to raising cattle and horses, he takes his ranching business seriously and hires/fires only if necessary. Despite being a Werewolf, Samuel rarely ever changes and is a stray compared to actual Omegas of a pack, preferring to stay with no ties to any packs. However, he has done business with the area's Midnight Wolf Pack, selling livestock when the time is ripe and even has a safe house in case their members need it; that said, only in cases of dire straits. Appearance Details: Samuel stands at 5'10" as a Caucasian, middle-later aged man. While in his "Golden Years" the man is quite fit for herding and raising farm animals, granted he has no ripped six pack of abs, he indefinitely is muscular. Samuel had golden eyes with silver hair, normally wearing jeans, a shirt with a leather coat with some boots, and topped off with a Western styled hat. In his wolf form, Samuel stands at 8'5" and has a thicker coat of various earthy tones, but one can easily see the silvers and greys in the fur. Other Details (Optional): Name: Belladonna Breach Age: 19 Sex: Female Gender: Female Sexuality: Bisexual (inexperienced) Rank: N/A Species: N/A Personality: Belladonna Breach is an excitable girl who is always looking to go out for a bit of fun. She's a bit of a troublemaker, whether it's breaking into old warehouses and factories just to explore or speeding down the roads at night, even getting into fights on occasion for shits and giggles. To match her mischievous nature Bella is witty and curious, always trying find something new whether it's to fo or look at. Appearance Details: Other Details (Optional): Name: Eric Breach Age: 32 Sex: Male Gender: Male Sexuality: Straight Rank: N/A Species: Timber Wolf Personality: Appearance Details: Other Details (Optional):

Sorry, hopefully none of that is too confusing. I will be running a plot where there'll be an investigation of a rumor of another pack that's moved in, it'll be a slow burn, but the same goes for Blackthorne and how a new coven has popped up. I think I'll also be (very slowly) working on a plot of Austin passing the torch of Alpha, given we don't have a whole lotta peeps on here quite yet, that too will be a slow burn. If you've got any plots for characters or anything else you wanna explore, give me a holler. That will be fine with Human NPCs if you'd like. Just don't go too crazy, I know I'll have some whipped up here pretty soon. That said, I'll have an interaction with your character here in a few days, I'm in the middle of my work week so it might take a good minute. Apologies for the wait.

Actually outside of the pack. Pretty much normal... Semi-normal people who just live around Pine Heath but do have awareness/some connection to the pack in one way or another. They aren't Omega's either, actual people that aren't aligned with Blackthorne or Midnight. They'll be posted in the "Outside and Human Characters" page I made, at least one I whip them up. I'll need a solid minute to get a good plot or two thought up, I'm.in the world week, so I'll be posting something in regards to that.

If you wanna help that'd be fine. I was planning of making some actual characters (not NPCs) that really weren't tied to any one group (so pretty much this thing called normalcy), but not a whole of thought comes to mind in regards to plot. I know the son would be coming home from the military (medical discharge) so there's that if that's anything to go off of. I know the two characters (or three) are a family of farmers, a father, son, and daughter, who are just living their lives in Pine Heath. And yes, they're one of the very few individuals who know about vamps and werewolves. It'll take me a minute to get them going but they'll be posted here soon(ish). Do you have any plots/characters you wanna explore?

Will actually be having some Human(ish) characters done up soon for characters outside the main factions. Might take me a day or two, busy weekend and heading into the work week.

"No need to apologize... It was a nice surprise... I guess." Toshiro looked away with a slight blush feeling embarrassed by the whole thing. Ask a girl to go out with you kinda and you get kissed... You dork. When Kari took a step closer so did Toshiro without even thinking about. Instinct was taking over... Until one of the students passing by to walk the stage gave a hard shoulder bump to the man. That immediately snapped him from his daze and upon looking up saw Teru walking away with a discreet middle finger toward his older brother. Asshole. With everyone else getting their diplomas followed by a series of claps, loudness varying on individual, it seemed like they were just about done. With the event reaching its height Kyouka and Teru were already standing with the rest of the students, ready to throw they caps in the air. Toshiro checked his phone for the time and read a text just delivered from his eldest brother. Sliding the device into his pocket, Toshiro regarded Kari once again, "Alright, let's go ahead and get going... I'd rather have a seat picked out in the car than being stuck between two idiots." //Sorry of the posts are kinda kept short, got some business going on so I'm limited to a good two or three paragraphs at a time for a minute//

Where residents of Pine Heath are placed, as well as outsiders of the factions let them be vampiric and werewolf. These are your player characters you make, which are regarded as outcasts, outsiders, and/or mundane civilians or even officials/law enforcement of Pine Heath.

Other Species and Limitations Pt. 1 While yes, the main focus is of Werewolves and Vampires, we'll be talking about other creatures similar to either one starting with the Danger Furries. Primarily half of the club's theme is "Wolfish" but there have been other notable canine species to be classified as supernatural. These usually involve the more wild animals these creatures take after such as coyotes, dingos, foxes, African wild dogs, and thereof. However in Pine Heath most of these subcategories of "Were-" are vastly rare and again the Wolf species are dominant in the state and surrounding regions. With this established there'll be a limit to just how many of these alternate species will actually exist and no, we won't be doing "Weredeer" or "Weregeckos" and further on. In-game, these other species would usually be treated as (unwanted/suspicious) outcasts to the Midnight Pack, however the closer to the wolf breed, the better and slightly more trusting. And just like werewolves these creatures are unable to use actual magic given their powers will conflict with magic, thus alternatively the use of alchemy and spirit tuning are widely practiced only in secret AWAY from the general public. Having that capability can attract the wrong kind of attention both vampiric, Human, wolf, and those of other interests. What about creatures like Lycans and similar? Lycans are classified as a threat to most packs, while yes they can form their own packs these are more erratic creatures whose mindsets are based are consumption and killing vs. Werewolves who are more cognitive in memory, critical Human thinking and understanding, but are still prone to natural instincts and sometimes their own bloodlust when hunting. While some Lycans (usually older) have the ability for higher intelligence when transformed, they are very unpredictable; and can only change in brutal, painful fashion under a full moon. They are still affected by silver.

Sorry I've been working, still got six hours to go. ________ Whelp, you've just given an excuse to expand on lore a little! Crossbreeds between Vampires and Werewolves are extremely rare, given they are two very different species (ie. trying to get a Pac-Man Frog and a Bearded Dragon to mate, if that makes sense.). While in history vampiric werewolves have existed it's very rare and has been avoided all across the board. There's not necessarily a benefit to there being a hybrid unless it was created in such a way that the weaknesses matched the strengths. Now in regards to were- creatures, the main theme is wolves, however I'm not entirely against other species. If you're wanting to gun for coyote, dog, or similar canine species go for it, however if you're wanting to create something from another animal (bats, lizards, etc.) I'll need to look it over first.

'Cunt nuggets, are what they are.' Toshiro thought when Kari mentioned her parents being too busy. Given his checkered past, Toshiro had some heartstrings pulled at the thought of someone's parents being too busy to show up to something important in a child's life. But not all were made equal, he supposed it was a normal circumstance amongst other families. But if Takamo in all all his business around the world could show up with in chaotic scheduling, so could other's. Just as Toshiro was about to regard Kari's parents with some less than kind words he was surprised by Kari's kiss on the cheek. Containing himself and keeping some semblance of maturity, Toshiro looked down at the blushing girl and cleared his throat, giving his suit's tie a slight tug to loosen it. He was doing whatever he could to not blush, but a slight redness crept its way onto Toshiro's face just enough for him to look away in embarrassment. Say something retard! Clearing his throat further, Toshiro finally said something, "I- Um- You-" Turning around and walking away five steps the young man recollected himself, then turned back and walked up to Kari once more. His mind was overloaded with information on what the hell he should do, and finally the first thing came to mind, "Alright... You need anything before we go? Im not sure what exactly is planned, but I know your address so we can drop you off to get your stuff and then go, or we can pick you up?"

Got some posts in. One for the Midnight Pack in the Gym, and one for Blackthorne in the Medical Ward.

Just another day... No one to really patch up. What a drag. Deep within the confines of the Blackthorne Estate was the Medical Ward, a small series of rooms dedicated for different purposes between an actual waiting and reception lounge, examination rooms, private consultation, laboratories, and thereof. It was well maintained much like the rest of the property inside and outside, during the night it was more lively due to the undead residents of Blackthorne but during the day? Quite the opposite. It was ironically dead. The only living beings in and out of the Ward offices were the Blackthorne staff who frequently cleaned and stocked supplies. Sanitation was an absolute necessity given all sorts of patients that the doctors and nurses, known as Corpse Sowers, had to check and help if needed. But that much wasn't necessarily true for the one Grave Warden, the head doctor of the establishment. Powerful, knowledgeable, meant to be wise medical practitioners, the Grave Warden was to take all things seriously but with a lighter and chipper tone. But that much wasn't necessarily true for the one Grave Warden. It was morning in the early weeks of March, much of the snow around the estate was still present as winter wasn't quite finished with Montana. Cleaners were currently vacuuming, dusting, and wiping down the halls and rooms whilst one individual was leaned back in an office chair, headset on and controller in hand, playing a game on a large flat screen television. On the screen was the first person point of view of the man running with a rifle, taking cover in a building, and after doing a quick sweep of the rooms he went prone just hallway out of a balcony door. The character on the game would aim often and alternate between that and checking other immediate surroundings. "Yeah... No yeah, D is covered. We still got it. I- Hold on... I've got a tank and a buggie headed towards my way, pinging them now." The man in the office said into his headset's microphone. Kabiki Nasago was the head doctor of the vampiric Blackthorne Coven. Under normal circumstances he should be resting like his other undead cohorts... If only the insomnia died with his first life. Instead of sleep he was playing video games, finding the inability to dream he'd pull a triple shift on purpose until it was time to throw in the towel. On a stable next to him was a plate of several quesadillas cut up with a large side of sour cream in a bowl. And the beverage? An open can of Dr. Pepper. There was glass with a light amount of blood next to the dishes. Many had found the good doctor lazy in that regard, using an inpatients' room as his own, but, who could stop him? The master of the coven didn't care too much and the Medical Ward was closed for the time being, so why not use it?

Checking in, how are things these days?

"You don't have to worry about having money. Everything's paid for by everyone's favorite jackass," Toshiro jerked a thumb back to Takamo who happened to look at Kari, giving a smirk before a slight wave, "And I don't mind paying costs either. My treat, besides, I'd rather have a "burden" than not have anyone at all." Toshiro really wanted to tell Kari to quit sounding a fuckin' idiot as soon as she referred to herself as a burden. But he didn't want to be all offensive and scare the girl off. With everything said he wouldn't have offered if he thought Kari was really a burden, but then again he didn't want to cuss her either so he kept it polite. He really hated when people call themselves a burden, something about it gets under his skin. Shoving that to the back of his mind, Toshiro regarded Kari again, "So... You up?"

Got that post up for Midnight characters in the gym. Took long enough. Will be working on a vamp post tonight.

And thus, it was just a other day... It was another morning in the state of Montana, with the weather fluctuating between cold and warm fronts, the nights have been a tad more frigid that most worth it still being winter. The mornings are usually coldest, today reached only up to 20°F by 7 A.M. but that didn't mean there wasn't any activity. No, per usual, Pine Heath was busy between residents getting out for the early errands or to go to work, and that much could be said for the Half Moon Reserve. Closed off from the general public with the exception of hunters and hikers who had special permissions, the reserve itself had the Midnight Mansion, as it was called. Home to the Midnight Wolf Pack, much of the residents would still be asleep normally up until about 9 in the morning. Save for one of few individuals. In the large gym of the mansion was Def Leppard playing, and toward a rack of weights was a hulking individual. Shirtless and sweating on a mat below him, the gray haired man was doing pushups with a pair of 120lbs. dumbbells, and with each push-up, he'd lift one weight and set it back down before doing another and lifting the opposite. His muscles were bulky to say the least, between his arms and torso down to the lower body with only having gym shorts and Asics shoes, even his quadriceps and calves were firm and activated. Austin Windcaller, Alpha of the Midnight Pack, was busy at working out today. Skipping breakfast to build up an appropriate appetite, he'd already made plans to going to Tom's Diner afterward for David's food. Him and Nancy's. They were good people, but his mind was more focused on getting the workout finished, and as of right now he still had several reps and ten minutes to go beforehand. Unlike many other Alphas, Austin made it a point of consistently working his body to keep in shape and uphold his strength, the many times he's fought other pack leaders and came out on top because thanks to his fitness was a life saver. But by Spirit, did the pack going into heat drive him crazy. With the weather changes being... Abnormal, and the winter seasons being colder and longer, the mixed signals of nature sometimes three the Midnight into a heat frenzy. Austin stayed away, already affected by hormones and pheromones that filled the mansion to absurd levels, he tried his best not to participate. As of now he was on a break from such activities, focused on trying to have a clear mind for things such as right now, working out. And with the two hours of exercise, the Alpha was counting down the minutes he had left in this room, already excited for a nice long shower in the locker room. Sure, he could use his own personal bath, however the gym's locker room was closer and more convenient.

"Meh, more or less "cleaning up" around the streets if you catch my drift. Beyond that I've been doing whatever, between the job I got and finding a hobby, it's been mild." Toshiro responded in kind, being more nonchalant but his intense gaze becoming just slightly softer. In contrast to Kari's dress, Toshiro's suit was fitted perfectly to his form. It was not tight but lightly hugged his body and his biceps somewhat strained against the sleeves. He couldn't help how Kari's outfit- No! Focus! Adjusting his collar slightly Toshiro also had to readjust his thoughts to what he was originally was over here for. He's had these stirred feelings before but that was a long, long time ago. Clearing his throat, Toshiro would continue, "It's my brother's and friend's graduation day as well. Speaking of which... My family had planned for a graduation after-party, dining, mall stuff- I guess- And other activities. I came over here to see if you'd be alright with joining us, have a bit of fun before that thing called adulting kicks you in the ass."

Could have her interact with Austin in the gym? Figured that'd be a starter place, unless you got another area that seems feasible.
