Thoughts on the (Unknown) Lycans

He was never dismissive of the tales of monsters roaming around -- he's seen his fair share of monstrosities within the human race; it's totally plausible that there would be more -- but he never quite believed them, either. His first instinct would be to defend himself, just as he would against any other predatory creature. However, if they proved decent enough, he would leave them be, perhaps even forge some sort of alliance after finishing changing his pants.

Appearance

Credits to me

Koa would be quite a handsome young man, by most people's standards, with the exception of severe scarring along the right side of his face and torso. He boasts a well-muscled, athletic physique -- not too lean, but not too stocky, either. This young man takes physical fitness fairly seriously, especially after having his powers snubbed for so long. In case his abilities are ever lost again, he has worked to keep himself in prime condition to get the best chance at survival as a normal human. Standing at a solid 6'2, he may not be the absolute tallest out there, but his height combined with his defined musculature gives him the appearance of a taller individual; his more forward personality also helps with that display.

His tan complexion matches his dark russet hair, which is styled short and messy. Koa has a strong jaw and an overall chiseled face with round, deep green eyes, a once-straight nose that got broken one too many times to heal right, and lips that are frequently curled into a mild, mischievous smirk. He almost always looks as though one corner of his mouth is turned up due to the scar tissue that has tugged the skin tight from his lip up to his hairline. His right ear has been savaged, and nearly half of it is missing. Old slashes and gashes criss cross over his cheek, neck, shoulder, down his back and torso, arm, hand, and a little ways past his hip; however, it is rare for anything beyond his facial and hand scars to be visible.

Being somewhat self-conscious of his mangled features, Koa often opts to wear high collared, long sleeve shirts. Breeches are obviously a given. Other than covering up the majority of his body, he isn't one to care much about physical appearance and maintenance. He's one of the "I use the same soap for my hair, face, and hands" kind of guys, but, being blessed with porcelain skin and a thick head of soft hair (don't touch his hair), he's never needed much else for a fancier routine.

His voice is a low tenor or a high bass, depending on the situation. When he wants to sound intimidating, he absolutely can, but the slightly higher pitch is his default. Koa is actually a decent singer, though he is most often singing more crass and humorous lyrics than serious or "pretty" ones. He has no problem grabbing a room's attention with a particularly booming call. Yelling out of anger, however, is not really in his nature.

When most people think of Koa, they think of a flirt -- and they wouldn't be wrong. While he doesn't have much of a romantic attachment to anyone, he will send compliments and friendly flirtations in everyone's direction. His charm and charisma have gotten him out of sticky situations before, and he's got his Casanova-ness down to an absolute science. His easy way with words allows him to deliver anything smoothly; he could walk up to someone and tell them that they look like a blackout drunk rhinoceros that shat itself and make it sound like a good thing. However, he generally uses his people skills for good, and does not compare individuals to incontinent mammals.

Koa is witty and wily, and his sense of humor ranges from dark to immature. He is one to crack jokes at very inappropriate times, such as when he is in mortal peril or someone is making him uncomfortable. It's a coping mechanism, if you will. He is also quite confident, so much so that it is borderline arrogant, but he does not intent to inflate his ego or put himself on a pedestal higher than what he can actually reach. He just knows what he can do and will execute it well.

True to his element, Koa is a fiery creature. He can be brash at times, and when his extensive patience finally runs out, the discussions certainly heat up fast. He is a bit showy and his last words will absolutely be, "Hey, y'all, watch this!" His ferocity extends to every facet of his personality: fiercely friendly, fiercely loyal, fierce in battle,... Everything he does is intense, whether or not he means to be.

While he is generally easygoing, if not a little overzealous, he does have a sinister side to him. When wronged, or when those he loves are wronged, Koa is a vengeful, vindictive force to be reckoned with. He does not give second chances, and, if the crime is steep enough, an offender may not live to even ask for one. Charisma is replaced by fury and charm by callousness. Fortunately, this is not a common occurrence.

Skills

Marksman -- When he lost the ability to wield a sword or fist most efficiently, Koa put all his time and effort into learning a new skill: hitting targets dead-on from an incredible distance with bows, javelins, and other projectiles.

Ambidextrous -- Formerly right-handed, he had to relearn how to fight, write, and flip people off with his left hand, so now he is proficient in both, though he relies mostly on his left.

Survival -- If you threw him out into the wilderness with nothing to his name, he could start a life from scratch quite easily. He's an excellent hunter, is pretty good at making tools, and has a decent enough knowledge of plants and herbs to not accidentally poison himself.

Boop

Name:

Ayla-Mae Harrison (Ayla or AM)

Age:

21

Gender:

Female

Role:

Ayla is a human traveller in search of a new life. She stumbled across the group by accident in her own travels after escaping her toxic family dynamic some years ago. After receiving some serious burns on her left arm she had to spend a lot of time with doctors, and they graciously taught her all they could about medicine. Because of her training, she is the unofficial nurse of the group.

Ayla-Mae is reserved and a bit antisocial, so she doesn’t mingle with the rest of the humans all that much. She appreciates the group, and is thankful to have them around, but does not try to lead or befriend anyone. In all honesty, Ayla is happy to be ignored unless someone is injured

How would they feel if they knew about the Lycans?: [They don't actually know, but if they did, how would they feel?]

Ayla-Mae very truly could not care less. People are people and she doesn’t really care what anyone looks like. Why would she care if someone turns into an animal? She likes animals more anyways. That being said, Ayla would probably have a morbid curiosity on all the things that could heal/hurt lycans. She would never try to hurt anyone, but she would be curious.

Appearance:

Ayla is tall and slender, with light pink freckled skin. Her left arm is covered in painful-looking red splotches, which are burn scars. They do not hurt her. She has light brown curls, but Ayla doesn’t have the time to deal with them. Therefore, her hair is always kept in a tightly braided bun. Her eyes are also brown, but if you look at them closely, you will see flecks of green throughout. She has a very crooked smile, which shows off her white-ish teeth. Her teeth are far from perfect, but well cared for. She takes pride in her hygiene and health as much as possible.

Ayla stands at about 5’7, but seems taller due to her absolutely perfect posture. She always seems to be looking at everyone else with disdain. Honestly, she just doesn’t know how her resting face looks. Ayla wears a dark blue working dress, with thick undergarments for practical reasons. Her slender hands are often covered with thick gloves. If she finds flowers on the road, sometimes she will make herself a flower crown.

Personality:

Ayla comes across as very serious and sometimes even snobby. She doesn’t know how to talk to people, and when she tries she ends up hurting the other’s feelings. So she stays quiet. Ayla-Mae loves hearing other’s laugh. She just doesn’t know how to make them laugh. She has a softer side and loves flowers. She can often be seen sketching different kinds of foliage in the dust, and loves to stop and smell every plant she can. Animals also tend to be more comfortable around Ayla, who sometimes has to shake birds off her head. This confuses people who know her, because she is very bad at making others feel comfortable. Unless, of course, they are injured.

Ayla feels her only reason for living as long as she has is to help and heal those who cannot help themselves. She will push herself to the point of passing out to heal people. Her comfort is nothing in the face of others’ pain. She is always willing to learn, and loves to read. If a book is placed in front of her, she will read it. No matter the contents. She especially loves poetry and plays.

Name:

Lainey Hill

Age:

24

Gender:

Female

Rank:

Pack Member

Role:

Warrior

Thoughts on the Travelers?:

Lainey has a very violent approach to how travelers should be dealt with. She thinks they should be killed on sight that way they cannot speak of the Lycans. Lainey has this point of view due to past trauma from when she was a pup/child

Human Appearance:

Lainey exudes a striking presence with her sun-kissed, tanned skin that suggests countless hours spent under the open sky. Her complexion, rich and warm, contrasts sharply with her striking lavender eyes, which seem to hold a quiet, enigmatic intensity. These eyes, framed by long, dark lashes, glisten with a curious mix of mischief and wisdom, their unusual color drawing attention and intrigue from anyone who meets her gaze. The contrast between her pale, almost ethereal eyes and her deeply bronzed skin creates a captivating visual effect, making her stand out in any crowd. Her blonde hair, a shade reminiscent of golden wheat, is styled with a touch of meticulousness that reflects both her practicality and her sense of style. Lainey ties her hair back into two identical buns that sit high on either side of her head, a hairstyle that emphasizes her strong, angular features. The buns are neatly done, each strand in place, creating a symmetrical and polished look that contrasts with the more rugged aspects of her appearance. Adding to her distinctive appearance are the tattoos and scars that adorn her face. A dark, intricate neck tattoo snakes its way up her skin, visible even when she wears higher-necked clothing, suggesting a story or perhaps a part of her identity that she holds close. The scars on her face are more subtle yet equally telling; one runs diagonally across the bridge of her nose, while another streaks down from the left side of her forehead. These scars, while hinting at past conflicts or adventures, do not detract from her beauty but rather enhance it, adding a layer of depth and resilience to her character.

Lycan Appearance:

Her fur, a rich hue of golden wheat, cascades in voluminous, curly waves that catch the light with a warm, sunlit glow. This unruly mane, while visually captivating, poses a constant challenge for grooming. The curls, though soft and velvety to the touch, are notoriously difficult to brush, often requiring a special comb and a great deal of patience to manage. The golden fur, reminiscent of ripened fields, contrasts beautifully with her more delicate features, emphasizing her ethereal charm. Laineys eyes are a mesmerizing shade of lavender, a rare and enchanting color that seems to hold secrets and mysteries within their depths. The lavender hue shifts subtly with her emotions, ranging from a soft, serene lilac when calm, to a deep, stormy violet when agitated or excited. Her eyes are one of her most captivating features, providing a window into her soul and an unspoken connection to her mystical nature. They reflect a kind of ancient wisdom and an otherworldly grace, making her gaze both compelling and hypnotic. Her nose, a gentle pink that stands out against her golden fur, is delicate and expressive. It adds a touch of softness to her otherwise striking appearance, hinting at her sensitive and intuitive nature. The pink hue of her nose, along with her lavender eyes, creates a striking contrast against her fur, adding a whimsical and otherworldly touch to her visage. This combination of features gives Lainey a unique and alluring appearance, blending the natural with the mystical in an intriguing harmony. In terms of build, Lainey is shorter and lanky, with a frame that is both agile and graceful. Her slender limbs and lithe form give her an almost ethereal quality, making her movements appear fluid and effortless. Despite her lankiness, she possesses a quiet strength and resilience, her physicality hinting at both her agility and her underlying power. This slender build complements her curly fur and distinctive coloration, creating a cohesive and enchanting image of a creature that is as enigmatic as she is beautiful.

Personality:

Lainey is a delightful blend of warmth and determination that makes her personality truly memorable. At her core, she is incredibly sweet, exuding a natural kindness and empathy that endears her to everyone she meets. Her genuine concern for others is evident in the small, thoughtful gestures she consistently makes—whether it's remembering the little details about a friend’s life or offering a listening ear during tough times. Her compassionate nature creates a comforting presence, making her a cherished friend and confidant to those around her.

However, beneath her gentle exterior lies a strong streak of stubbornness. Once Lainey sets her mind on something, there is little that can sway her from her course. This determination often manifests as an unyielding commitment to her values and beliefs. Her persistence can sometimes be seen as a double-edged sword; while it drives her to achieve her goals and stand up for what she believes in, it can also lead to conflicts when others challenge her views or when obstacles arise. Lainey’s stubbornness, though, is not born from a place of rigidity but rather from a deep-seated conviction and a fierce dedication to her principles.
