Winter's Fangs
Open!
Everyone knows the story of Castle Lycodria and it's people. How they were savagely attacked and slaughtered by some unknown, horrendous beast one night. How there were supposedly no survivors, and the Castle and it's Village were left soaked in blood and completely vacant. Deciding it was better to honor and respect the dead, Castle Lycodria was left to waste away with the elements, no one daring stepping foot in the area, and many refusing to speak about the atrocity that occurred.
However, what people don't know is that not everyone died that night. Some of them managed to pick themselves up off the ground, and seek shelter near by til morning. Unfortunately, though, they didn't come out of the whole ordeal unscathed and were no longer the people they were prior to the attack. The very next night, the survivors were forced to transform into the very same beasts that had attacked them and killed many of their family and friends the night before.
Afraid of what they had become and what they could do, and not wanting to repeat the past, they fled into the mountains, leaving their lives and homes behind without so much as a whisper. There, deep with in the mountains and out of the eyes of the world, they found an old, and abandoned castle. Deciding it was off the beaten path enough that they were no danger to others nor at risk of being found out, they settled there. They rebuilt the castle, and worked to become self sustaining so they didn't need to rely on other communities to trade with them in order to survive. The survivors also fortified the castle to keep others out, but, most importantly, to also keep them in during the nights of the full moon.
All was going well, and the newly forged Lycan Pack were living content and peaceful lives, able to grow and move on from what had been done to them years before. However, their hidden lives are all put at risk when a group of travelers arrives at their gates begging for refuge after having just been attacked on the road by bandits. They have nothing with them except the clothes on their pack, and they need the help of the Lycan Pack, otherwise they will succumb to the elements and die.
Knowing the risks, and that the people will surely die in the wintery mountains without their aid, the Lycan Pack has to decide whether or not to help, and, if they do, for how long? With a record breaking winter storm moving in, and the full moon only a couple of nights away, it seems like time is excatly what the travelers need, but also what the lycans do not have.

The Lycos Pack
Aka the Castle Lycos
Brief Information
Castle Lycos is made up of the survivors from the Lycodria Slaughter, hence the derivative of the name in their current one. These are the people from the original attack that survived and were turned into Lycans as a result. Not everyone survived the attack, but those who did were able to rebuild new lives for themselves in the hidden castle in the mountains.
Most of the survivors were 16 to 20 years old at the time of the attack, as those older and younger just didn't survive the attack or the transformation after. It's been about 6 years since that occured, so the population of Castle Lycos are all adults of the ages 22 to 26, and possible youth of Newborn to 6 Years.
It took them some time, but now Castle Lycos is completely self sufficient, able to provide for itself the necessities it needs, as well as some enjoyable luxuries. Since they're more pack than community, they're very tight knit with each other, but occasionally disputes do occur. Everyone, though, has some form of role to fill, and everyone ensures they are pulling their weight in some regard so no one is freeloading.
In terms of living arrangements, the Lycos Members have the choice of living in the Castle itself, or living in small homes near it. But that will all be described later in a segment about the Castle and the Lycos Valley itself.
The Lycos Hierarchy
Due to no longer being human, the Lycos Residents have adapted a different hierarchy to their life than what is seen in human castles. Since they have more animalistic instincts and tendencies, they found that this arrangement seems to work the best for them. Not everyone is super happy with how things turned out, especially those of high status previously who aren't now, but currently little can be done about it since most are in agreement.
Alpha
The Original Leader of the Pack. This is the person who pulled the group together and has helped get them to where they are at. While he assumed leadership in the beginning, he was eventually elected and recognized as the Pack's Alpha as time went on. He has primary say over the Pack and its rules, and it's everyday life. His word is law. He can be challenged though, but if the challenger loses they could be killed as a result. If a female takes over, the rank is referred to as Alphess.
Luna
This is the mate of the Alpha. She helps him lead, but also helps keep the peace in the pack. For some reason, the Mate of an Alpha seems to have a natural soothing presence about her that helps keep the peace in the pack when riled up. Her presene is just as important as his, just in a different way. Her word is law too, but can be overruled by the Alpha. Her rank cannot be challenged for, since this is the rank given to the Alphas Mate. If a male ever fills this role, they're referred to as Lune.
Betas
These are the Two Lycans Viewed as Second in Commands. There is 1 Male and 1 Female, with each being assigned to their Respective Leads. The Beta Male is almost like an Alpha in Training, as he is capable of leading in place of the Alpha, and ensures that his orders are followed. The Beta Female, though, is more like a built in body guard and loyal friend to the Luna. She ensures the safety of the Luna and any children, as well as making sure her word is also followed. Their positions can be challenged for, but only with their respective Lead's permission. Either rank can also be replaced by their respective Leads.
Gamma
This is the Lycan who is viewed as the Third in Command, and is there to help the previous roles lead and ensure the success of the pack. This role is kind of like an enforcer, as they enact out punishments for offenses, etc. They also ensure, with the Beta Male, that the Lycans are all trained in different skills to defend the Castle if ever need be, and that everyone is pulling their weight. One of the Gammas primary jobs is to report to the Leads where they might be lacking in the pack, so they can fill the area to help with productivity. The Gamma often works closely with the Betas, and also is the first choice to help protect the Luna [and her children] when needed. This rank can be challenged for with the Alpha and Luna's permission, as well as they can also elect to replace the gamma if needed,
Pack Members
These are all the rest of the Lycans of Castle Lycos. They make up the bulk of the pack, whether they be adult, child, etc. There seems to be a subtle hierarchy within the Pack Members, but it's not enough for anyone to truly be considered above another. All the Pack Members, aside from the children, have different jobs and responsibilities to the pack.
"The Council"
While this is viewed as like a title, it's not an official one. It's merely the 5 High Ranked Lycans of the Lycos Pack. They refer to themselves as the Council, or Council Members, because when it comes to big and important decisions for the pack, especially something that could drastically impact the entire pack, they prefer to discuss things as a group than to leave it up to a singular person. Since there are 5 Lycans, they prefer when things are Unanimous amongst them, but they also accept a Majority Rules when needed. The council is big on ensuring the safety and future success on the pack, and it's there to ensure no one Lycan becomes to powerful or greedy, and can vote to have a Lycan stripped of their rank too. So if an Alpha is becoming too greedy or trying to overthrow the council, the council can vote to strip the Alpha of his rank and choose another to lead in his place. Or, lets say a Luna is acting out of line in a way that is detrimental, they can vote to have her stripped of her title [not her mateship, they would never] and either choose to have enother female take her spot [but not mated to the Alpha] or leave the role empty for now.

Lycanthropy
In this Rp; this can kind of be read at your leisure if you'd prefer. It's important to know beore the Rp, but only parts of it are important to know for sign ups.
There's a lot about what they are that the Lycos Pack doesn't understand or even know. I'm going to seperate what the do and don't know into two seperate areas so everyone knows. Anything that isn't known can later be discovered in Rp [if said by me or with my permission], but not right away, so no one in the Rp should know whats in the second segment to start.
What They Know
To put it simply, there isn't a lot. They weren't changed with their permission, so they didn't have any knowledge or even a crash course prior to being turned. However, they've discovered a little bit along the way.
First, they have learned some of their weaknesses. The first being the obvious rumored silver, it burns them when touched to their skin, and acts like a poison when ingested or it become in contact with their bloodstream [or is injected into it]. Silver on its own is lethal if enough of it gets into the blood stream, or their's is exposed to it enough. And wounds tend to be worse when made by silver weapons, and heal slower. So a normally fatal wound with a silver weapon will always be fatal, vs a normally fatal wound made by something not made of silver might not be always fatal.
Next is iron, it's similar but quite different from Silver. Instead of physically harming them, Iron instead seems to sap their strength and is naturally impervious to their strength because of this. This means iron works are not easily bent or broken by them, as it naturally absorbs their energy, weakening them. Prolonged exposure to Iron can basically render a Lycan as strong and helpless as a normal human, but that takes days of exposure to do.
Following that, and the final of the big three, is wolfsbane. This plant is very similar to Silver in what it does. It burns and creates a rash that is difficult to heal when applied to the skin. As well as it has some nasty affects when ingested, gets into their blood or lungs, etc. Ingested, it's going to wreck a lycan's system, causing things like ulcers and cysts, possible internal bleeding, etc. Wolfsbane in the blood basically causes a blood infection that is difficult to treat. Whereas in the lungs it will cause halluncinations, cough, inability to properly breathe, etc. Wolfsbane when in the lungs is often lethal because it will eventually restrict the airway and not allow them to breathe, and there's no antidote to negate that reaction.
They also know the things they've gained from being turned, dare I say good things. This includes heightened senses, reflexes and instincts. Their strength is far above a human's, as well as their speed, agility, etc. One of their biggest pluses is their ability to heal. They do not have regenerative abilities, so if a limb is gone, it's gone, but they do heal quickly. Scratches heal in seconds, minor wounds in minutes, moderate wounds in hours, and severe wounds in days. Their degree of healing is sometimes enough to save them from succumbing to normally fatal wounds if it wasn't inflicted or they aren't exposed to the above Big Three.
Obviously, they also have their Lycan form. They are only able to shift on nights of the full moon that they are aware of. Unfortunately, on these nights they are completely without control. Nothing is safe when they are shifted, as they will attack anything with a pulse, especially if it moves. Fights between them will even break out, but their healing factor often prevents any serious wounds from occuring. It does seem that they have the innate instincts not to harm their own or other lycan children, even unphased ones, but they aren't sure the same applies to normal, human children [it does not]. They have noticed, though, that none of the current children have yet to transform into their Lycan forms. They are unsure if they have them or if they dont [They do, the change comes with puberty].
Their Lycan forms are the monstrous bi-pedaled creatures that range from 5'9" to almost 8 feet tall in height when standing straight on their hind legs. From what they've seen, male Lycans tend to be taller and broader than females, but not always. They range in appearance, including in size, fur coat and color, eye color, tail length, muzzle shape and length, etc.
They also know now that killing the one that turned them does not turn them back into humans. The first night they turned, they came across the Lycan that turned them and killed him, but it did not return them to their original state. As far as they know, there is no cure for Lycanthropy [and there isn't], and they aren't looking for one either.
In terms of behavior, the Lycos pack are more feral than normal humans, often communicating through different vocalizations like growls, snarling, whining, etc. They are more aggressive with one another and just in general. They also tend to act more savage and seem to have more inclination for brutality. Not all of them are this way, however, some do lean into it, whereas some reject it and try to emulate who they were prior to the transformation.
The livestock they own, like horses, goats, chickens, cows, etc. do not react to the Lycans anymore, and haven't for quite some time. They do not seem to care anymore that their caretakers are Lycans. However, the lycans have observed they have to be more careful when hunting to pay attention to how the wind blows and where they've left their scent. Thankfully, they can smell where their scent is, or how strong it is, and can adjust to it. This is due to the fact that the moment another creature, especially prey animals, scents them it takes off. The normal animals in the area aren't as skittish, since their scent is kind of mixed into the area and the pack is careful not to overhunt, however, new animals that are passing through or settling tend to be extremely skittish.
What They Don't Know
The biggest thing the Pack doesn't know, is that they were turning by what is called a "Rabid Lycan". Often easily confused or mistaken for a Rogue Lycan, which is just a packless one, a Rabid Lycan be within a pack or on their own. However, what sets them apart is a Rabid Lycan is one that has killed or feasted upon humans, and thus has succumbed to an extremely primal bloodlust that pretty much demands that they attack and kill everything in their path. They're extremely feral creatures, there is no reasoning with them when they're shifted, and even when they're in their human forms there seems to be something extremely crazed about them. Unfortunately, when a Rabid Lycan turns a human into a lycan it causes the resulting lycan to have a much harder time with control too. They aren't as crazed in the same sense, but it does make control over their lycan forms much, much harder, and thus makes them more dangerous on full moons.
As far as the Pack knows, Lycans can only shift on full moons, but this isn't actually entirely true. Lycans who have control can actually shift at will at any point except the new moon. They are controlled by the moon in the sense that their lycan form, and their human forms, are weaker the further they are from the full moon, but those with control don't have to wait til the full moon to turn. Unfortunately, this is something the Lycos Pack won't experience for a long time, if ever, due to their origins.
While all lycans have more feral leanings, with the Lycos being turned by a Rabid Lycan, they have a tendency to be more feral than normal ones. Due to this, they don't currently have the ability to blend in with normal human society. Maybe one day they will, but as of right now? Nope.
Other Animals are naturally wary of Lycans, able to sense an Apex Predator is around them. Prey animals unfamiliar with them will react negatively until they adjust, and will not be relaxed around them for quite a while.

Name:Christopher Frost;
Often called Chris or Frost
Age: 26 Years
Gender:Male
Rank:Alpha
Role: Obviously he's in a Leadership Role,
But Chris also Paints. He trades portraits and landscapes for things he needs, giving others paintings [often of their families] to decorate their homes with.
Thoughts on the Travelers?: Christopher is torn, truthfully. On one hand he wants to help a group of travelers in need, especially understanding that without him and his pack they may die. But he also doesn't want to put his pack at risk. However, he probably will end up helping them at least for the night, and then helping them where they need to go.
Human Appearance: 
Credit Belongs to _Modagit on Picrew.
Christopher is a rather tall man, but not something that could be seen as ungodly so at 6'1". He, however, does tend to appear taller due to his build, confidence, and just how he carries himself in general. He has a lean, but athletic build that is packed tight with muscle. Before he was a Lycan he was always fit due to working on farm to earn his keep in his family. But now? He's in even better shape than before, with tightly wound muscles throughout his body. His muscles are defined, with washboard abs, and noticeable biceps, but he also has strong legs, and that man is quite the runner when he wants to be.
Chris has fair skin, not exactly porcelain, but not at all close to tan either. He has a fair amount of light freckles on his face, and a beauty mark below the right side of his lips. Truthfully, Chris stands out because of his appearance, his height combined with his fair skin and rich hair often catching the eyes of others. And if that doesn't then the scars on his face tend to.
The Alpha has a chiseled face, looking like he was carved out of perfect stone. His jawline is strong, and his cheeks are taut, sometimes hollow when he's clenching his teeth. His eyes are more almond in shape, and quite hooded. The stormy grey color of his eyes does little to dampen the intensity of his gaze, but thankfully there is a general softness to the man that helps with that. Above his eyes he has a pair of thinner eyebrows that match the darkest parts of his hair. Below his eyes is a straight nose that is rather long, but not so much that it seems disproportionate. His lips are wide but thin, often forming a grim line when he's deep in thought. As mentioned, Chris has some scars on his face, the larger one on his forehead and angling down from above his temple towards the inside of his left eye. The second one is a smaller on on the right side of his chin. Both of these were sustained from the attack that turned him.
Upon his head sit the locks his family is known for. Naturally slightly curly, he has a frock of dark red hair that always seems lazily touseled. The top is longer than the sides, with the ends curling down just above his eyes. Occasionally he lets his hair grow out, but recently he has kept it shorter and more tamed. Chris' voice is rather deep, but not so much as to be basso, definitely more in the baritone region.
Lycan Appearance:Christopher's lycan form is very reminiscent of his human form, though with significant and stark differences too. Standing at about 7'8" tall in height, Chris as a lycan is nothing to scoff at. A major difference between his human and lycan form is his build. In his human form, Chris is much more lean and athletic, but his Lycan form? Somehow manages to balance between lean and broad, allowing him to be a lean brute with some bulky mass on him. Most noticeably, this muscle mass is on his shoulders and torso, giving him powerful swipes with his forepaws and strong grip strength, as well as a strong neck to support whatever it is he latches onto, and strong jaws. He does have good muscling in his legs and hips too, allowing him to move well in either fashion, but it's obvious by looking at him that he's built for strength rather than his speed.
In terms of his fur, Chris sports a short to medium length coat, with the longest fur being on his neck, chest, and tail, and the shorter fur being every where else. His fur, oddly enough, has some obvious curls to it, with the short fur curling up at the ends, and some of the long hairs able to actually fully curl at times. His coat is quite dense, especially along his neck and chest, keeping him well protected from the elements, as well as potential weapons used against him, whether it be teeth, claw, or man-made. His fur, though, is also quite soft, with the softest parts of it also being where it is longest and thickest.
Whether it be his human form or lycan form, Christopher is usually easy to pick out, and that comes from the rich, deep reds of his hair color, and, in this case, his fur color. The fur in his lycan form matches his human hair color exactly, making him a beast quite capable of catching the eyes of those around him. It feels almost unnatural to see a Lycan with fur that is basically blood red in the sun and dark red in the shadows, all rich and full of color, but since it's his normal hair color, the gene seems to show in this form too. His eyes are the other thing that doesn't seem to change to much, with the iris of his eyes in his lycan form being a bright silver, only being a shade or two brighter and lighter than his normal eye color.
Personality: Calm || Level Headed || Logical || Balanced || Over Protective || A Tad Possessive || Sometimes Jealous || Selfless to an Extent || Devoted and Involved Father || Attentive Mate || Good Listener || Strong || Seemingly Relaxed || Sociable || Pleasant || Territorial || A Little Reserved from Others || Dependable || Patient
Christopher Frost is a complicated man in the best sort of way; the straight forward kind of way. He's very set in his way most of the time, with a stable and balanced personality that is a mix between calm, logical, and overall dependability. He always tries to think things out first, never one to rush in half cocked without a decently formulated plan and evaluating all the risks and rewards first. He likes to be prepared, and he likes to have a decent idea of what the entire picture is. If he thinks he's missing key pieces, he will purposely hold off on a decision until he thinks he has enough information.
The male is nothing short of logical, always thinking things through and going with the option that, in general, just makes the most sense. He doesn't worry if it's at his own expense, if it's the best option for the pack, or his family, then so be it. He's one of those men who is quite calm and level-headed, the one who never seems to run out of patience, and is always there to support those he cares for. And, in his case, Chris cares about his entire pack, so he makes sure that he is putting their needs above his own most of the time. Does he still make sure to take care of himself? Of course, he has a family to care and look after too. But he would never let the pack suffer because of his own selfish desires.
Chris can be described as a good leader because of his overall balanced personality and temperment. The type to never lose his cool, even under pressure, he is a good listener, and a good planner. He's rather pleasant to be around honestly, though he can be a bit distant or reserved from those who don't quite know him all that well. He isn't unfriendly, but he certainly isn't going to reveal his deepest, darkest secrets or his fears to them.
Aside from being a good leader, Chris is a very devoted father and an attentive mate. In fact, his family is the one thing that tends to bring out a side of him that is otherwise unseen. His family is not to be messed with, even unintentionally, as he will have no mercy for you regardless. He's very involved with his offspring, being sure he is the type of father he himself had, and always being there for his children and his wife. There is no one in this world more important to the Alpha than his Luna and his pups. Because of this, an extremely possessive, territorial, and protective side of him comes out. He isn't keen on other males being around his mate, doting on her, or showing her affection. Of course have the respect for her as the Luna, but he gets a little twitchy whenever he thinks lines are being crossed [even when, in reality, they aren't]. Chris absolutely is the type to threaten another's life for looking at his mate in a way that is even remotely suggestive, or brushing up against her, etc. Basically? Slight closeted pyscho when it comes to his lady and children.
Backstory:Growing up in Lycodria, Christopher's family was on the less wealthy side, and were little more than common farmers. But, they were happy with this life, completely content with what they had. The family did have to work hard, long hours to get by, but at the end of the day, it ended up bringing them closer together and cemented a deep rooted sense of family in them.
He met Colette when he was just a tyke, him working in the fields and stables where she lived. He was completely enamored by her, a strong infatuation taking a hold of him the first time he saw her to the point he went home and told his family he was going to marry her one day. As he aged, the two grew up together and their bond with it, strengthening from being friends into sweethearts, and eventually true love. It was them versus the world.
Unfortunately, despite their love and devotion to each other, it was revealed to Christopher that her father had other plans. He wanted to marry his High born daughter off to another, determined to see his daughter end up better off than with some mere farmer's boy. At first he tried to persuade her father to reconsider, insisting he would always take care of her, and she'd never want or need for nothing. Unfortunately, his words were not enough, and her father proved to be steadfast in his decision. So, the two hatched a plan to run away together, they'd leave in the night and never look back and find somewhere the grow old together and spend their years.
That night never came though, as shortly after they were all attacked, and Colette and him were turned into Lycans. This, while a tragedy, was a blessing in disguise, because it meant they could be together, and he swiftly married her, and is determined to spend whatever is left of his life with her.
Crush:
His Luna.
Mate:The Luna, Colette.
Children:He has One Young Child [Open] with his Mate, and 1 on the way.
Kin:Maybe.
Affiliations:Open - WIP
Colette Frost | Wife, Mate, Mother of His Children
To him, the sun and moon absolutely rise and fall with Colette. There is no one in his eyes who could ever hold a candle to her in any way, and he is determined to spend the rest of his life proving it to her. He's completely and madly in love with his wife, and she absolutely turns him into a total mess. She's the very air he breathes, the water he drinks; the only sustenance that Chris needs, in his mind, is his wife. He adores her, and loves her, with all his heart, feelings that just continue to grow with each passing day. Christopher is incredibly, almost painfully, loyal to his wife and their kids, and would do literally anything for them. If it comes down between you and his wife and/or kids? You're going to lose. Every. Time. Christopher lives for his mate and kids, and he would happily die for them without hesitation. It's a good reminder never to get between the man and his family, because he will destroy anyone who stands in his path to them.

How would they feel if they knew about the Lycans?: Um, ew, no. Jhesica would not be about it. She'd view them as no better than the mangy strays on the street. Monsters. Disgusting. Nope.
Appearance:

Ms. De Valois is a young women of impeccable lineage, and was born as the second daughter of a Lord and Lady. As if divined by the gods, she seems to radiate poise and refinement, her stature of 5'7" always in perfect posture and pristine condition. She keeps herself in shape, while also retaining a soft feminity to her, so she weighs about 121 lbs, putting her on the slimmer side for her weight. There is a bit of subtle muscling to her, but it's supple rather than being pronounced, allowing her to appear dainty and delicate like a flower, but with the strength of a weed.
Everything about Jhesica's appearance seemed to be measured for perfection, and it seems as if genetically she won the lottery too. The young woman could be easily described as beautiful when studied. Her skin is fair and unblemished, as if she were made out of the finest of porcelain. She keeps her cheeks rosey and colored so she never appears as too pale, and makes sure to wear colors that compliment her fairer skintone. However, due to her complexion, she is careful about being out in the sun, prefering to not risk prolonged exposure so she doesn't get burned or tanned.
Her face is more diamond in shape, having a slight, but narrow chin and high cheekbones. Her lips are naturally perfectly pouty, and shaped like a perfect cupid's bow almost just with less definition in her upper lip, as it is more rounded than not. Her nose is short and narrow, with a slightly snubbed tip that ever so slightly curves upwards. From there are her eyes, beautiful upturned orbs that are always perfectly embued with just enough makeup to emphasize them, but not enough to overshadow the rest of her looks. Her lashes are naturally long and thick, definitely something that others envy about her. Below her right eye is a faint beauty mark, though it's small and doesn't distract from the rest of her face. Her eyes are a rich, dark brown, a color that looks like it should belong to the most decadent of chocolates. Above her upturned eyes are a pair of thin, neatly groomed eyebrows that never so much as have a single hair out of place.
In terms of locks, Ms. De Valois takes extremely good care of her hair, and while it isn't her favorite feature about herself, it's certainly nothing to simply dismiss. Her hair is naturally a very pale blonde, having a creamy look to it instead of something more akin to gold. It suits her skintone and eyes perfectly, and is always neatly kept. Her hair is naturally straight, and rarely needs more than a brush through it to tame it. The blonde hair is kept at upper back length, or just below her shoulders with side swept bangs and shorter pieces to frame her face. It's a very simple look in terms of style, but it's straight laced and seems to fit her perfectly, finishing off her look with ease.
Jhesica has a set of vocals that are often honeyed in tone, though not because she's actually sweet as her voice might suggest, but because she wants to get what she wants. She's poised and graceful in appearance, tone, and words, and considers herself quite the well-spoken lady. Since she is a High Born Lady, she wears nicer dresses and cloaks, but chooses softer and milder tones that compliment her looks instead of the bright jewel tones she might like to wear.
Personality:Selfish | Snobby | Stuck Up | Opinionated | Manipulative | Particular | Disdainful | Haughty | Arrogant | Pompous | Mannered | Self Important | Conceited | Confident | Proud | Extremely Vain | Snooty
There is really no good way to describe Jhesica, the best way is simply that she is a selfish bitch. She's completely self-centered, believing the world should revolve around her, and being upset when it doesnt. Things always have to be her way, otherwise she genuinely gets upset as a result. She has a very high opinion of herself, and believes that she can really do no wrong, because any 'wrong' she does is surely justifiable.
Despite her obvious flaws, Ms. De Valios has impeccable manners when in the face of those of importance to her. She is the daughter of a lord and lady after all, so she expects herself to be a perfectly well mannered young lady. Of course, even if she wasn't she probably would still think she was. But her manners in the face of others, especially those she wants approval from, is pretty much the only good thing about her. And maybe her confidence? Yes she's arrogant, but she's also confident as heck. Nothing seems to intimidate her, and she seems to have no fear of making a fool of herself, though that's likely because she doesn't believe its possible. You will never see Jhesica doubt herself, as her opinion of herself and her confidence is basically unwavering.
Of course, that leads into her negative characteristics quickly. She's a prideful creature, and while she might not show it if her pride is hurt, you can bet she's going to find some way to get even. Jhes is also vain as well. She believes she beautiful, and honestly she is, and she will use it to her advantage whenever she can. She definitely has an exaggerated sense of self and value, but it isn't just her beauty she has on her side. Jhesica is surprisingly intelligent and cunning, which allows her to be incredibly manipulative. She may not have the brawn to get what she wants, but she certainly has the beauty and the brains.
Basically? Selfish and self-centered, completely and total bech.

Name:Elias Nathaniel Sauzac;
Goes by Eli or Elias
Age: Just Turned 25 Years
Gender:Male
Rank:Pack Member
Role: Elias' main contribution to the pack is the horses, donkeys, and mules he breeds, trains, and cares for. He's had to build his stock from the ground up, so while his horses may not be pedigreed or award winning, they are going to be extremely hardy work horses that are reliable, sound, and bomb proof by the time he's done. He has other things to offer too though, like he's good at butchering his own meats, cooking, and he's decent with basic veterinary care from taking care of his own animals. He does have few livesock animals too, so he can sell trade products [milk, eggs, etc.] too.
Thoughts on the Travelers?: Elias could honestly take them or leave them. He holds no ill will towards them, but he also understands the hesitancy when it comes to letting humans stay and be around them. He supposes that as long as they don't become a threat to the pack and himself, he doesn't really care if they help them.
Human Appearance:
Credit Belongs to _Modagit on Picrew. Credit also on Image Itself.
The first thing most people notice about Elias is his sheer size. While he certainly isn't the tallest guy in existence, he does stand at a little over 6'2" which puts him at the taller end of things. However, it's his height combined with his build and weight that really tips the scales for him. At 223 Lbs, he is on the heavier side for someone his height, but it's almost entirely muscle. He's worked hard most of his life, and his body is a testimony to that and his strength.
Elias generally could be described as wide or broad, with a thick set of shoulders above a wide, powerful chest. His arms are long, with biceps that always seem to bulge agains the constraint of sleeves, but a narrower waist that is flat and chiseled with abs. His hips aren't quite as his shoulders, but they aren't nonexistent either, whereas his legs are built more like tree trunks than actual leggies. His hands are large, with long nimble fingers, his palms calloused from work, and scars on his knuckles. Overall, he has the build and appearance of someone who obviously grew up and worked on a farm and doing various chores for it.
Basically. The man be Thicc. Thiccums status.
Elias honestly has a rather handsome face. His jaw is chiseled, looking like he was carved out of stone, with high cheeks bones that could cut glass. He has a very statuesque look, like he should be one of the greek statues in the center of a fountain. His nose is relatively straight, but it's shorter and rather blunt rather than being pointed and long. His lips are wider and on the fuller side, with the bottom being fuller than the top. His eyes, though, which are probably one of his stronger features, are quite hooded. They have a sleepy, seductive look to them, this effortless vibe that always seems to be somewhat smoldering and therefore intense at times. However, what also calls attention his eyes are the color of them. His eyes are technically hazel, but with how light they are and how the blending of colors ended up working for him, they almost appear to be a bright, brilliant gold in hue. Like someone melted down some gold coins and poured them into the irises of his eyes.
His hair is not something that Elias puts a lot of effort of emphasis on, but what he does seems to suit him. He tends to keep his hair shorter in a rather stereotypical style for men. It's longer on the top than on the sided, and he doesn't let it grow down his neck or get very long. Has he let it grow out a few times? Of course. But as of more recently he's been keeping it short and groomed. His hair is dark in color, being midnight black right now. He'll start seeing grey hairs pop up over the next few years, a straight that is in his bloodline that causes those in his family with black hair to become salt and pepper in their hair fairly early on.
Lastly, Elias is a rather scarred individual, and I don't mean just emotionally or mentally. Physically, he has several scars adorning his flesh, the most obvious ones being on his face [as pictured]. However, he also has some pretty prominent scars on his back from where he was deeply clawed by the Lycan who turned him. The lacerations to his back almost killed him and would have if he hadn't taken to the change, but, since they were so deep and given at the time of his change, they ended up as ridged scars on his back. He has another claw mark across his chest too that is puckered, but not as badly as the long marks on his back. Elias' scars might seem worse than others because he used his own body to block the Lycan from reaching his younger siblings at first. He would have rather died using his own body as a shield for his siblings than to let them get mauled to death in front fo him. He also has scars on his body from various different things growing up, but none of them are as bad as the ones from the attack.
Lycan Appearance: Elias is one of the people who's Lycan form seems to represent who he is just as much as his human form does. He's goliath in size, one of, if not the largest Lycan in the pack, Eli stands at 7'10", he is at the maximum height a lycan can get. His wolfish form is quite built, athletic in it's appearance with bulky muscling seen throughout his figure. To put it simply, Elias' lycan form is a brute. Wide shoulders and a deep chest, and powerful legs and hips, he's clearly built to be an apex predator, and he has the capabilities to be one. Its actually easy to think that Elias is a bit gangly, with long arms, and stockier hind legs, but when he's crouched it's easier to see the bulky sinew beneath the fur and skin of his hide.
In this form, he has some unique features, specifically on his head. For one he has tall ears that are tufted at the top. His ears are rather expressive, giving away how he feels even when his features are stoic. His muzzle is on the longer side, but large, with his canines being a bit overgrown so that they peek past his lips. This gives the male quite a nasty bite, but also a very distinctive one. He also has prominent cheek tufts, that gives him a very obvious wolfish look to his appearance.
In terms of his fur coat, Elias has shorter fur, not so short that it looks like he doesn't have any, but the kind of short and dense fur that is rather compacted and keeps him well protected from fights and the elements. His fur is definitely on the coarser side, not being at all very soft to the touch. He does have the stereotypical longer, almost mane like fur around his neck and on his chest, it isn't as prominent on him as it might be on other lycans. His fur is a dark, inky black that matches his normal hair color in human form, and his eyes are a brilliant gold in color, contrasting beautifully with the dark backdrop of his fur. His belly fur, or underside, though, does appear a little bit lighter than the rest of his body, almost seemingly like a charcoal grey than black.
Personality: Stiff | Socially Uncomfortable | Handy | Hard Working | Helpful | Good Listener | Stoic | Observant | A Bit Untamed | Growly | Solitary | Unintentionally Unfriendly | Man of Few Words | Animal Lover | Stubborn | Hard Headed | Immovable Object | Sturdy | Reliable | Routined | Neat | Reserved | Aloof | Intense | Lonely
Backstory: Elias was born to a more middle class family. They weren't wealthy, but they were respected in the community. His fathered owned one of the larger farms and had his fingers in enough pies that the family never wanted for anything. He was keen to teach his sons his business so that they could take over, expand, and provide for their own families one day. However, with there being 5 kids total, 4 of them boys, Elias wasn't keen to follow after his dad and siblings, and wanted to do something for himself. This was something his father understood, but tried to encourage him to take up as a side hobby at first, just so he didn't struggle.
Unfortunately, neither of them ever got to see what would become of himself, as the attack tore his family apart. His mother and father were killed by the beast, and so were several of his siblings. As a result, Elias has drawn away from the others just a bit, having grown up in a big family and now being without, he felt a bit empty as a result and needed to learn how to cope.
Now that he has his life somewhat put together, Elias is returning to the social world, but he's still hesitant about it all. It's safe to say he's much more comfortable in his work than he is being around others.
Crush:Mmmm Maybe.
Mate:None
Children:None, but he wants them.
