"You know, Toshiro, I never thought you had it in you. That girl you picked up sure is a cutie patootie!" Atsuno said over the semi-loud whirring of the mini chainsaw cutting through a decently thick, fallen branch. The spikey haired man turned his head as he had just now finished up, scrutiny painted on his face, "Yeah, I did. And what of it?" Atsuno tossed the cut up branches into the makeshift fire pit and with a grin he said, "Didn't think you had the balls. I mean, shit, for a minute there I thought you were-" "Were what, exactly?" Toshiro crossed his arms and was now giving Atsuno a stern look. The orange haired man stopped and stared for a brief second, remembering that his spiky haired buddy didn't like people assuming certain things about him. Sexuality was included in that short list. Why it was such a sensitive subject with Toshiro, Atsuno never know, but with the already short temper the former has had today the latter would rather not find out. Readjusting what he was about to say, Atsuno merely threw another hefty branch in the pit, one side of him wanted to advert away from the subject but the other side wanted to egg it on. Atsuno opened his mouth with a smirk, "Aaaassssexuuaaaallll...?" "He means homosexual, you flamboyant fuck!" Iskibi shouts from his tent with a sharp grin. Sighing and turning away, Toshiro walked over to the vehicle and was starting to grab something out. And unfortunately Teru had to pipe in as well, "Awww shucks, Iskibi! He went back to get a tampon!" "Yeah, way to chime in, kind of a lame statement there. Hey, remember that one time with the Tampax pad?" Iskibi retorted. Immediately Atsuno begun leaving the arguing and jabbing group, headed through the woods for more wood... And to relieve himself. Being couped up in a vehicle for several hours was torture for him, he was more of an adventuring type and being confined to a tight space was no bueno. This was the perfect opportunity to actually stretch his legs and be alone for a moment, the midday sun was beaming through the leaves above and the weather oh so wonderful. It was warm but not humid, thank God, and with any luck there'll be no rain tonight either which meant booze, s'mores, grilling, and music. The orange haired man parked himself in front of a tree, well away from the rest of the group just enough for isolation for a bit. He begun doing his business and suddenly he seemed to perk up. At first it was a head gesture, then a full conversation could be heard from him at a low volume, just enough to barely make out what he was saying. It sounded like he was... Arguing? Zipping up his pants did Atsuno finally turn and point an accusatory finger upward as if someone was there. In the physical realm there truly wasn't however in the spiritual, there certainly was. He would say, "-and don't get me started on the damn testosterone intake! I told you, I can only take in so much, that shit's not good for my body!" And Atsuno fell silent before talking again, supposedly cutting someone off, "I don't give a shit of you like the cookie dough flavor! My hearts gonna explo- Oh, oh! So just because you can heal me means that you can also ravage my body too?! It's still my body! Yeah, okay, whatever, don't another host, give it a week and you'll come crawling back!"

The truck crawled up to the speed it was supposed to, seventy miles per hour was the speed limit but why not bush a little part that? Austin sped up to just seventy five, no more and no less. Reaching up to that particular speed did he go around two cars, one a minivan and the other a Sheriff's Deputy Mustang. Despite going over the speed limit the lawman didn't pull Austin over, as a matter of fact they would slow down and turn to an off ramp leaving the minivan alone. And another short few minutes later Austin took the off ramp and in the distance the Oak Parks Mall, a place he usually resents because of how busy and claustrophobic it can be. Looking in the rearview mirror to see if anyone was behind him, Austin took noticed of a black car that was not too far from him. At first he thought nothing of it, but then he felt a knot in his gut, uncomfortable and making his mood unsettled as is. At first he threw it away as paranoia given the uneasy "truce" that the Midnight Pack had with the Blackthorne Coven, with what every so often a vampire dying here and a werewolf dying there including certain members of both sides trespassing on either territory, Austin wasn't one to take chances anymore. But ignoring this feeling wasn't an option any longer, as the Alpha slowing to a stop sign his senses grew stronger. Once he came to complete stop at a sign Austin closed his eyes and breathed. He wasn't quite used to going to such a massive and heavily populated area, especially alone, going onto main street was easy enough but this was a different ball game. Easing himself once more he began to think happy thoughts. Throughout the years Austin had always compiled a list of errands to complete starting with the more important chores and working his way down. At least what he deemed as more important. The children were a good start, taking them hunting and teaching them how to camp was certainly top of the list, from there Austin would need to make sure the Gamma was properly planting the appropriate herbs and spices and not anything useless or dangerous; Spirits forbid they actually do that. Next on the list was meeting with the Pine Heath Sheriff's Office to plan out certain hunting times for the Wolfpack with the law enforcement, given that the latter owns the Half Moon Reserve, they were still prone to having a member or two stray outside of the territory and further into the woods. Why they needed the department involved was so they can bring public awareness of the dangers of hiking far from campsites and the city itself and also to help make safety concerns aware, in reality it was a way so that hunters didn't just start firing at werewolves- While usually it was a problem, it was still an occurrence that happened a good few times in the past few decades. And coming up this late summer, the little ones of the Midnight would get to go to a church camp in the Ozarks. How that would work is that since the children weren't able to transform yet (If they could at all), two of the Human parents of the pack alongside a pastor- who the pack had good relations with- can take them on the road trip which would allow the adults to commit unholy acts of lust. Four times a year, the pack goes into a heat with the Spring and Summer times only lasting a week, whilst the Fall and Winter lasting anywhere from a couple weeks to a while month and usually back-to-back. But that was in a few months, so he didn't have to worry about such things. Finally after two more turns, Austin entered the covered parking lot near the mall, stopping his vehicle and turning it off after finding a decent spot. Sighing he stepped out of the vehicle and closed the door, slipping on a Texas Longhorns ball cap. Compared to the large truck he was massive in height, donning a plain black T-shirt and jeans with work boots. He had a bushy silver beard with a bald head, the only thing sticking out aside from the man's massive frame were the various tribal tattoos that littered his arms and neck. The Alpha used the key fob to lock the truck and proceeded forward toward the massive shopping center...

I'll get replies in between the morning and Monday night. Focused on work rn

And in the rural forest near the city of Yokohama... The road on the way to the nearest forested campsite was vacant this cool late-afternoon. Usually this back road had the occasional car or two passing through, however now it was only a single SUV that drove down it. Windows down and music blaring, the vehicle made its way down the pavement at a moderate speed. As the SUV approached an intersection it would turn right and continue further until making another turn onto a gravel path. The way down the winding gravel was surrounded by so many trees and wildlife, leading well away from civilization and up a valley. "-And when she waaakes up and maaakes up her mi-yai-ind! She'll say I'm not so tough, just because, I'm in love with an uptown girl-" Singing from a quartet could be heard from the SUV, driving uphill and around various curves. The four young men had been traveling for hours on a trip to do one simple, one very important thing. Camping. Like any man with a desire to get out into nature, these goon squad of four were no different in that each of them finally had either graduated or had a chance to get a break from work. They would get the chance to let loose from all the struggles of the city life, an escape to the wilderness that may or may not become as one put it, an absolute drag. Upon reaching a clearing that was miles away from any town and city, a place surrounded by trees and thick brush, the SUV was parked off to the side and the truck door opened up. The men hopped out, one after another age begun to pull out ice chests and bags, already setting up camp as if familiar with this particular spot. Of the four was an orange haired fellow, perhaps not as tall as everyone else, but he was getting to work with setting up rocks in a rather large circle. Two were currently choosing spots for tents while the last was unloading gear out of duffle bags. Atsuno had just recently graduated from highschool alongside one of his friends, Teru. Iskibi and Toshiro had already found jobs a long time ago, with the former finding himself as an accountant and the latter a bodyguard for the Ivory Thorns, a modeling company that was kick started four years ago and has found prosperity in the United States, Japan, South Korea, and England. While he didn't know if he would follow in his other friend's footsteps, the orange eyed man was certainly looking around for a job other than his own father's business. The thought of getting into fighting like boxing or MMA sounded decent enough, he had the body she strength for it so maybe that was his angle... Or, or, he thought about becoming either a homesteader or even a porn actor... Shit, maybe owning his own restaurant? Upon finishing the outline of the fire pit, Atsuno moved to start gather sticks and branches, nothing small. He'd say moving toward the SUV, "Yo, Toshiro, you bring that tool box?" One of the other men, a spikey haired and red eyed fellow, answered back while setting up a two person tent, "Yyyeeeahhh... Yeah I think I did. You have to check though, we kinda did leave in a rush." Upon looking into the vehicle Atsuno immediately saw the large black and orange case beneath some wrapped up blankets. He moved them aside and pulled the heavy tool box down, clicking it open and pulled out a little hand chainsaw. He clicked a battery into the tool and powered it on, reving the little machine on to see if it did work and when the bladed chain rotated, he gave a nod. Today was going to be adventurous.

I don't see why not.

Note: I'll be updating this character as I go. So if it seems sparse in info please forgive me. Name: Atsuno Gear Race: Human/Possessed Age: 18 Alias: Gender: Male Hair: Orange Eyes: Orange, however when using magic to enhance himself, Atsuno's eyes change to a glowing lighting orange. When using his abilities abilities, his eyes with change to a glowing purple. When transformed, Atsuno becomes Appearance: Much like any strapping young man, Atsuno Gear stands at 5'7" with a muscular, athletic physique he's built up from his time in highschool thanks to sports and lifting weights. While he has no noticable tattoos on his body, one could make out a faint symbol on the left side of his neck, too obscure that it can easily be mistaken for a birthmark. However when his powers become active, Atsuno's marking will lightly glow with an outline. Aside from this, his body is littered with what looks like scars from fighting... When in fact they're simply from helping his father in the contracting. Typically he wears just about anything under the sun, shorts and pants with primarily button up shirts. Atsuno's transformation finds himself becoming a demonic monster, over 7 feet tall with fangs and claws. His physical powers threefold, with his main attributes becoming speed and strength, he can summon "dark" lightning and launch energy projectiles. This form is simply known as "Skull," primarily being bone white with purple muscle/flesh. Short Bio: Atsuno Gear was born in Japan, having his Korean-Japanese mother Hana Na-rae and his American father, Nathan Gear. He grew up a hectic child, more hyperactive and unpredictable and what helped his focus and high energy was working with his father. Nathan did mostly construction and house flipping as part of a freelance contractor company, he was well known and brought in plenty of business while Hana was a surgeon. Despite his life under a strict household, Atsuno nevertheless became a bit of a rebel between getting in trouble with the law, sneaking out at night, going to raves and thereof. As a way to get him out of the house more, Nathan decided to take Atsuno to a dig site where a new hotel was being built as a sort of "father-son" trip. This would be the day everything got flipped on its head. The young teenager snuck out while his father was a asleep so he could go explore the site. But suddenly he felt a shift and instead of randomly waking and climbing about, Atsuno felt a sudden pull deeper and deeper into the pit. Once he got to the center of it, he noticed an odd miniature statue glowing softly, rusted and covered in moss. And like a little curious idiot he touched it without hesitation, the object exploded and knocked the boy back, the energy that escaped rushed into his very body. Atsuno, with no evidence of what just happened, not wanting to get in any trouble, and suddenly feeling like a million bucks decided to sneak back into bed. Only that after him and his father left the next day, he'd hear a voice in his head for the rest of his life. He became an attraction for monsters, at first struggling against them on the way from school, but the voice would guide Atsuno and teach him how to unlock his newfound abilities. He could companions and friends in a group of other kids just like him namely Toshiro, Kyouka, and Iskibi. From then on Atsuno continued his "vigilante" work against monsters, unaware of the larger magical world that surrounded him.

"Well, most men should," Toshiro replied just now realizing he was a tad too close to Kari, less than a foot apart, "It's not like you're going around decking guys. I'm... Kinda surprised no one's asked you out." Clearing his throat and averting his gaze to his water bottle, Toshiro could feel the cabin they were in getting a bit warm. He looked over to the dials for the A/C and lo-and-behold the vents certainly were set to blowing cold air. He felt his face was a little flush too, which in his eyes didn't seem like a good sign of keeping composure. He supposed it was the fact that... Could Toshiro like Kari? It was ever a wonder, Teru always said that his older brother could be gay because he never seemed to like girls. That was a lie. It wasn't that Toshiro didn't like women, it was more he was extremely particular. He couldn't ask Kyouka out because- Well- She was practically his sister in a way. Sure there were other girls that actually like the guy, but the feeling wasn't mutual. "Unagi. I prefer Unagi over most types of sushi. I mean I guess I like the California Roll too, but that's more an American thing. You have a particular favorite?"

May 10th, 10:25 A.M. 12th and Parker "Main Street," Pine Heath Sunday morning went about as well as it usually did, slow and steady. In the large, sleepy town of Pine Heath, business fluctuated with the traffic usually hitting at the hours of 6 AM, 12 PM, and 5 PM, usually with the city going into a near dead silence at night save for the overnight workers, party animals, and the occasional night owl. Today was no different, the sunny and warm Montana day was ideal for people to come out and participate in activities or take care of errands. Most folks were either off enjoying the day and staying home or working, business as usual. And that much was true for one (or more) particular individual(s). An old Dodge pickup truck was driving down Main Street, the engine a bit loud no thanks to the muffler that fell off long ago. Despite it being nearly twenty years old, it still ran... Decently. In recent times the old thing was running a tad bit heavier and struggled during certain times of the year. Despite how much he fixed on it, his pride and joy was running a lot rougher than what he's used to. Austin Windcaller was one of the oldest members of Pine Heath, never residing in town but rather the Half Moon Reserve where his home was; the very same reserve where his pack lived. As the truck made its way down the street he would notice how quiet it actually was, save for the stray vehicle and bystander here and there. Usually there would be more people out and about but Austin wasn't about to complain, less traffic meant more time to take his time running errands. Well, not necessarily errands, just spelunking around and getting a break from the Midnight. Days like this was when the Alpha of the Midnight Pack could step away and get some time to himself, he wasn't opposed to one or two of his members coming along and if any had. The trip to the city was filled with silence and music from the country station he chose. His truck, his rules. Austin sighed as soon as he stopped at a red light, so far his thoughts were empty but... He could go shopping...? It wasn't usually his forte, however the older he got the more he wanted to actually get out and do things, said things didn't even have to involve money just more a matter of fucking around. "I suppose the mall sounds good..." Austin said to himself, pulling onto the highway that would lead into another ten minutes of driving.

"I suppose, I've always assumed ladies should get this kind of treatment," Toshiro responds, "There's no need to apologize either." Toshiro's thoughts ran rampant at Kari's reaction to the treatment she was receiving. Was this an uncommon thing for her? He assumed that a woman like her would have had a man already given this kind of attention, but then again, in this day and she there aren't a lot of men willing to go out of their way to do something like this. Unless Kari was the kinda gal that really didn't go out of her way seeking this kind of stuff or that she kept a low enough profile. Toshiro continued, "Not often someone... Of your looks tend to catch my eye." Internally Toshiro struggled. He wasn't one for vocal compliments or but but showing his affection physically. It was the first time he was alone with another woman in a small space with no one else around. Technically. The other goobers were up front loud as can be but were otherwise segregated from the pair in the back, which... May or may not evolve into something else entirely. Feeling the buzzing vibration of his phone, Toshiro pulled the device out again and looked over a message. He would slide it to the side and said, "Alright, looks like we're fifteen minutes out from some sushi restaurant. There... Anything you want to talk about... In the meantime...? It was hard not to take his eyes off Kari, Toshiro struggled internally and his tone showed it. He had one other he had strong feelings toward but wouldn't dare ruin the relationship they already had. For Kari... She was welcoming, sweet, and the man ever wondered why he liked her. Perhaps she was a succubus luring him in? Or perhaps he should stop thinking like some retard and treat this as... Well... As anything other than that. And while he didn't notice it, Toshiro had inches closer to Kari by way of readjusting himself due to bumps in the road.

Fuck it, I pussyfooted long enough. I'll have an Austin post in one of the Pine Heath topics tonight. If any of y'all wanna join be my guest. As for my recent outside characters, despite there still being work to do on them, they're available. Got Eric who helps his grandfather, Samuel (another PC), run a farm just outside of Pine Heath; both of which are werewolves but change very, very rarely. I have Bella, Eric's sister, also available as well, however she's Human.

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 investigate 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.
