Wolves of Corentine (OoC)

[Violet]

Wolves of Corentine

Prologue

Long ago in ancient times, the human king was punished by the gods for his heinous acts against them. He and his entire kingdom were no longer privileged to live as humans, but as werewolves(half-human/wolf unable to feel like they belong to either species). After the king killed a human with his fangs, he became vicious and hungry for human flesh. He expected the rest of his followers to do the same. As the years passed, they grew in number and ravaged every human civilization they came upon. What once was a flourishing kingdom in the south was now a savage home for the werewolves.
The remaining villagers escaped to the city Corentine, located to the far west. Surrounded by trees and mountains, it was the only place yet to be touched by the beasts' claws. The ones in charge of Corentine were well aware of the werewolves existence and knew that something had to be done. They hired multiple different people to take on the job as a werewolf hunter. Not knowing werewolves' vulnerabilities, they tried different things to ward them away. Nothing seemed to work effectively for the hunters, until it was revealed that the beasts were sensitive to pure silver.
Every day after that discovery, a hunter returned with the head of a werewolf. Eventually, the king was killed as well; after his death, the attacks lessened. Werewolf ranks were beginning to weaken as the society of Corentine began to grow. Soon, they started to fear the hunters and went in hiding. They decided they would live as humans and some even moved to Corentine, portraying themselves as regular citizens. In time, their numbers would grow and humans would no longer threat about werewolves. That would be when they'd strike back. Although that was their main motive, their descendants had mostly forgotten. To the humans, werewolves became nothing more than ancient dust that no longer existed.


Setting/Plot

Setting
Everything takes place centuries later. It's modern times; everyone has cars and the structures have changed drastically. Corentine has grown in size and many sections have been added on. Some parts are filled with more pollution than the others. Corentine has three sub-cultures: Upper-class(government officals or celebrities), Middle-Class, and Lower-Class. The humans don't quite remember the dilemma that happened between them and the werewolves. They just remember that they once existed, but apparently became extinct. Little do they know that quite a large amount lives among them. There's enough room in Corentine for everyone((think of a good portion of Australia coated with one large city)), but werewolves can't be out in broad day light as wolves because there are humans everywhere. There have been sightings of werewolves, but they've been passed off as really big dogs since no one's gotten a closer view.

Plot

Werewolves have toned it down throughout the centuries. However, there have been recent killings going on. The killers identity is currently unknown, but there's enough evidence to say that the causes are from some sort of canine. The humans laugh off the possibilities that it could be a werewolf, as they haven't been around in centuries. However, the government is quite suspicious.
In the near future, there will be two opposing sides amongst the werewolves. One side will want to go against the humans and bring them down. The other side opposes that side, being against innocent slaughter and wanting to maintain the peace. There is a third party that both sides fear: Werewolf Hunters. They work in a secret guild which is viewed as a weird cult by regular citizens. The government is not in charge of them, nor do they take them very seriously.

Rules
(These are important. You wont know what type of werewolves we're dealing with, otherwise.)

*No god moding. If you don't know what that is, please exit to your right and never come back.

*You can make up the street names of Corentine.

*I expect excellent grammar. Be sure that your sentences make sense. Spell Checks wont catch everything.

*Don't include famous celebrities from OUR world. Everything here is made up. Come up with your own celebrities when needed.

*IF A WEREWOLF WAS BORN FROM A HUMAN+WEREWOLF COMBINATION, THEY WILL BE SLIGHTLY WEAKER THAN ONE THAT'S BORN FROM TWO WEREWOLVES.

*In this RP, werewolves transform voluntarily. There's no "only on a full-moon" crap.

*You DONT become a werewolf from being bitten. You'll just get a really painful gash..

*I don't want to see any special werewolf form that doesn't go along with the story I set up. All the werewolves appear as large bulky wolves(in that form).

*Don't use too many characters unless you can handle it(and try not to destroy the story while you're at it xD)

Character Profiles

Name: Kay Silver

Age: 35

Gender: Male

Species: (human or werewolf) Werewolf

Physical Appearance: Has shoulder-length black hair and brilliant green eyes(usually covered by sunglasses). He has whiskers on his chin, giving him a scruffy appearance. He stands at 5'11 and weighs 160 pounds. He is mostly muscle. His common choice of clothing is a dark brown leather jacket with jeans and black biker boots. As a wolf, he is 7'12 and is very bulky.

Fur Color:(only applies to werewolves) Pure Black.

Interests: He enjoys places like nightclubs or parks. His diet consists mostly of spaghetti and alcohol. Kay owns a motorcycle and drives around the city throughout the day.

Dislikes: Anyone who disrespects others. He's pretty cool when it comes to everything else.

Location: Kay lives in a cheap one-story house in the bad area of Corentine. His garage is filled with all kinds of junk as well as his motorcycle and a drumset.

Personality: Kay tries to treat everyone fairly. He's adapted to human ways, as he was raised around them. He has a good sense of humor and is pretty laid back. When he gets pissed, he gets really pissed.

Basic Background: Kay has been an orphan all his life. He went to school for a short time before dropping out and living on the streets. He worked his way up to being a bartender for the pub two blocks away from where he now lives. Having dealt with some terrible things in his past has built him into who he is -- strong at heart. In his twenties, his best friend was a human male named Kyle. Even though they did everything together, he never revealed his true self to Kyle and would never get the chance to -- his dear friend was killed in a brutal accident after rescuing a little girl. That had a big impact on Kay's life and made him change some of his ways.
He's currently the leader of his own pack, which consists of three others(they were main characters when this was a story of my own, but I'll make them NPCs).

[Silver]

Name: Kurt Rockbottom

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Species: Werewolf

Physical Appearance: Kurt is a Caucasian male who stands tall at 6'2" in human form, and as a werewolf is closer to 8'. In both forms he is rather broad, though muscular. Kurt has very dark brown, slightly past shoulder length hair which in dull light seems almost black. It shows many signs of damage due to improper care, and is uneven due to cutting it himself. He has golden brown eyes with specks of red visible in them. Kurt looks rather scruffy as both man and wolf, and wears steel studs as well as a pair of sleepers in the tops of his ears which can be seen in both forms. As a human Kurt wears dark blue stretch denim jeans which are faded in some places due to wear. He wears a scruffy white t shirt with a faded dark green military jacket over the top. To complete his mostly practical attire he wears plain iron rings around each finger.

Fur Color: Almost Black

Interests: Kurt enjoys lazing around with whatever he has recently beaten from someone. He enjoys hanging around with people who look up to him, and will defend them almost with his life. Kurt likes interesting street inspired jewelry, but not silver for whatever reason...

Dislikes: Most people he sees as weaker, excepting those who hold him in high regard. Kurt hates most authority with a passion as he believes in a person's freedoms...
He also dislikes doing something in half measure. An example being a mixed drink...

Location: Kurt lives on the streets, most often in the worst parts of lower class Corentine. He lives wherever the rain cannot reach him, most often underground where possible. His favourite place to hang around is an old car yard, where he hangs around with those loyal to him, sitting on an old leather chair in a slight state of disrepair.

Personality: Kurt is aggressive and a bully. He likes to see things through to the end, and has confidence issues he tries not to reveal to others. Kurt seems a bit sadistic in some ways, and does not feel the need to show anyone any respect really. The only exception to his ways is when someone moves him, especially if they've had a similar life in some way. Kurt seems to like people like that, regardless of who they are.

Basic Background: Kurt was a classic underachiever. Both his parents are werewolves like him, but they didn't really get along in any way so they eventually kicked him out. It was this that led to him becoming a thief, a bully and several other things...
Kurt's real surname has been forgotten, Rockbottom being adapted, because that was what he had hit. Rockbottom.
He has lived in the Lower class parts of Corentine all his life, yet gone to other areas every now and then briefly to mug some wealthier people. Wealth speaks to Kurt...

[CLOUD]

Name: Conall Gin

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Species: Werewolf

Physical Appearance: Conall isn't very tall or big, around 175 cm & 68 kg. However, his muscles are rock-hard, built through rigorous training. He has medium length, straight, black hair that covers his forehead, as well as dark blue eyes and no facial hair. Most of the time, he's wearing elegant, expensive suits, all in dark colors, unless there's a special occasion. In addition, he wears black leather gloves & boots.

In his wolf form, he's a massive 3m long 1,4 m tall beast. He's not that bulky, on the contrary; he's thin, but has longer than average fangs & claws on his wide paws.


Fur Color: His fur is long & soft, pitch-black colored on his head, back & legs, but his belly is gray & his neb(muzzle) is pure white.

Interests: Conall likes spending his free time training in various martial arts & in sword fighting. He is interested in the ancient secrets of sword crafting & alchemy which he studies under some of the greatest scholars of Corentine.

Moreover, he likes spending time with the wealthy society of Corentine, taking part in various discussions about the world of trade, the modern methods in the cultivation of the lands & any kind of busyness he finds profitable.

Dislikes: Conall dislikes lazy people, people who want to gain without sacrifice, people who step on the backs of the weaker to achieve their goals. He also hates being stuck in situations with people of a lower Intellectual Capacity, like the low class citizens, the beggars & the thieves that roam the streets of the city. Above all, he despises ungrateful people & those who use violence to get what they want, even if he sometimes has to go that far as well.

Location: He lives in a gigantic mansion in one of the quiet & wealthy district, located next to the bank of a small lake, called Blacklake. He is usually found in the mansion's library with his great collection of manyscripts, or in the training facilities, in the mansion's basement.

Personality: Even though he's a werewolf, Conall is well-mannered, a true gentle man who has tamed his other, wild side. He's a man of few words, who values actions more than pointless discussions if they are only going to make him waste his time. He believes that time is money & distributes it to his various activities during the day; supervising the various enterprises belonging to his family, keeping up with the daily events in the market, reading books on alchemy-his favorite subject, honing his skills in the arts of battle & knight craft.

He's a cold person, but not arrogant in any way.A ward worker, because he works hard to expand his family's fortune rather than spend it here & there. He's realistic & knows the extent of his amazing powers, but only uses them in times of need

Basic Background: Conall descends from a long line of aristocrats. The exact time when werewolves started appearing in the family is unknown, but there are is a rumor among the higher class wolves that the Gin family has had werewolves since the time of the 1st person to become a wolf, the human king who got punished for his actions by the gods.

He is the family leader; his father passed away when he was still young, 10 years ago, leaving all the respondibilities on his shoulders. There are many werewolves in his family, with the newest member, his younger sister- still a baby when their father died, who discovers her abilities by his side, through his strict guidance. However, only a few still use their abilities & only after they have gotten permission from him.

EDIT: A picture of what i imagine my wolf form -maybe a bit taller- to be like (since he's thing & long) :

His three-story old Corentine mansion is a remnant of the original Corentine during the peak of the werewolf, being such, there is much a Hunter needs hiden throughout.
Personality:

Basic Background:


I'll add more information in a little bit.

[Xeim]

Darn! I wanted to be the first posted human character... >_> Anyway...here's my nutcase!

Name: Crispin Flynn

Age: 22

Gender: male

Species: human

Physical Appearance: Crispin has black, layered hair that is just above shoulder length. He does not style or spike it, but lets it lie flat. A few locks fall over his eyes, and the rest of it frames his face nicely. He has large, purple eyes that look worried and amazed at the same time. His skin is a pale white.

If one were to see him, their first impression of him would probably be something along the lines of “Wow, he’s pretty badass.” Tall, at 6’1” and skinny, at 153 lbs, Crispin does look like he’d be a ‘badass.’ But that’s not the case.

He wears a cream white suit with no tie, and a large, ornate cross necklace. The necklace is covered in lapis lazuli, and has a large diamond in the center. Many people who have met him ask why he wears such an expensive thing when it could easily be stolen, but he replies “Faith keeps it with me. God would never allow it to be taken away.”

Interests: God, the Bible, ‘rehabilitating’ sinners, superstitions and legends

Location: Crispin is a middle class citizen. He runs a church in a quaint, suburban neighborhood on the edge of Corentine, where he also lives. His ‘house’ is one room, and contains a bed, a table, and a small kitchen. He says that he needs nothing else. If God wishes for him to have anything more, he will give it.

Personality: Crispin is a hopeless scardey cat. He is the kind of person who jumps at almost anything. He looks like he’d be calm and reserved, but he’s always happy, excited, and determined. His energy never seems to ebb, so he can go for days without sleep…and still manage to jump at every sound while chatting about some trivial subject.

In times of danger, Crispin is quick to erase the bubbly part of his personality. However, he still manages to work himself up into a panic at the drop of a sock.

His favorite subject of conversation is that of God and the Bible. He could probably talk about it his entire life and not tire of it. He also loves legends and superstition. He believes in most everything he hears, so he can’t help but layer some nice fallacies over what he knows is true.

Basic Background: Crispin was born into an Atheist family. He shared their mindset for many years, thinking that the idea of a God was foolish. His father was a scientist, and his mother a teacher. When he was 15, they were killed. Crispin was there.

And as they always say, “there are no atheists in a foxhole.” Crispin stared into the face of his parents’ canine killer…and found his God. From that day on, he devoted himself to Christianity, vowing never to doubt in God again. At 20, he opened a church, where he has lived and worked ever since.

Recently however, he has been hearing rumors of “Werewolf hunters” coming into existence. Many people brush them off as legends, but then again they brush werewolves off as legends too. Crispin has decided to pursue this rumor, even if it only leads him to a dead end.

Note: Crispin is Christian. However, his form of Christianity is one that will be developed by myself. So, I’ll be posting the details of that later. See, I do not want to represent an existing form of Christianity wrongly. So, yeah. I'll be getting that bit up as soon as I can.

I added another part to the Plot section. Take a look! And here's two other characters of mine:


Name: Amanda Josephine

Age: 28

Gender: Female

Species: Human

Physical Appearance: Amanda looks a bit frail and is fair-skinned with gray-colored eyes. She weighs 120 pounds and is 5'6" in height. Her hair is medium-blond and most of it is cut chin-length except for a ponytail that goes down to the mid-section of her back. Her usual choice of clothing is a thin, long-sleeved shirt with a pair of slacks. She wears bangles around her wrists and has two pierced ears.

Interests: Appreciating art, solving riddles, horseback riding, boxing, and coffee.

Dislikes: Those who disrespect the law. She also hates teenagers because of their naivety.

Location: Amanda was born into middle-class and lives in a two story condo which she shares with her mother.

Personality: She is very dedicated to her role and what needs to be done as a cop. She's described as a workaholic because she hardly has time to do anything fun. Although serious at most times, Amanda does have a sense of humor and isn't as cold as she seems to appear at first.

Basic Background: Amanda thrives to protect Corentine from violent criminals. She's been working for the police for five years. Her only sibling/brother, Isaac, works as a lawyer and lives in the rich part of town. They hardly have a connection and only see each other during holidays. She currently still lives with her mom who's widowed. Her dad died due to gang activity, so she vows to avenge him by working with the police.


Name: Raymond Frost

Age: 36

Gender: Male

Species: Werewolf

Physical Appearance: Ray has ear-length, curly, platinum-blond hair and pale skin. His eyes are a vivid hazel-green. He's 6'2" tall and weighs 180 pounds. He wears any-colored satin shirts and dress-pants with black dress-shoes.. He's well built as a human and a wolf. As a wolf, he is 8'3" and very agile.

Fur Color: His fur is platinum blonde with soft patches of white around his ears and muzzle.

Interests: Besides observing humans, Ray enjoys fine-arts. He can paint rather well and play any sort of piano. He enjoys inflicting pain on himself using needles or anything sharp.

Dislikes: Hates humans and traitorous wolves who have gone with the flow of human society, trying to leave behind their true nature. Also hates "tree-huggers".

Location: Raymond lives in the mansion that stands alone in upper-class Corentine. Bennet, Ray's mentor, owns the place through inheritance.

Personality: Ray has never enjoyed carrying on a conversation with people. He speaks mostly with his eyes and actions. Although quiet, he is very persuasive with people and has great speech skills when it comes to leading.

Basic Background: Ray was rejected by his parents in his childhood. They were both too involved in human affairs to care for him. He was often mistreated by them and others for his weird tastes and quietness. At the age of 13, he could only take so much and eventually snapped, killing both his parents by poisoning their food with silver nitrate. He then went into hiding from the authorities. It was then when he stumbled upon an old man named Bennet. Bennet, an aristocrat born a werewolf and bitter towards humanity, took Raymond in and raised him to become his successor. Bennet is now currently bed-ridden and the only fatherly figure to Ray.

[Aerif]

Argh! TFF was down last night and my profile wasn't posted.... And I would've been the first human character...

Name: Madeline Joyeux

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Species: Human

Physical Appearance: Taller than most women but shorter than most men, she's thin with an attractive face, her hair is shoulder length and blonde.

Interests: At first glance it seems that Madeline is interested in only one thing and that is weaving her way up the celebacy social ladder. However recent coverage of her appartment has shown that she has been doing some research into the chemical compound Silver Fulminate, suggesting that she may be interested in chemistry. Or something more sinister

Dislikes: Madeline detests fans of the celebrities that she does not nescarrily get along with. She also has strong dislike for those who come from lower classes, and those who don't treat her with the 'respect' that she deserves.

Location: Madeline currently lives in a penthouse in one of the city's more exclusive regions. This apartment is located in 99th Street and has easily accessable routes to all areas of the city that are not apparent to the majority of the public, this consists mainly of an underground network that is between ground level and the subterranian railway system.

Personality: Madeline can be obnoxious and rude but is a great actress and often pretends to be a lot nicer and kinder than she actually is.

Basic Background: Born Madeline Miranda Julia Joyeux, she was fortunate enough to become the heiress of a large hotel company. She made tabloids notice her by purchasing large and unusual things, she then took the attention and made the media believe she was worthy of celebacy. Despite the 'air-head heiress' motif that she pretends to have, Madeline has a hidden intelligent side and is superstitious due to the tales that her grandfather once told her.

[OmniTense]

Name: Olivia Bell

Age: 23

Gender: female

Species: Werewolf

Physical Appearance: She's 5'10 at a 110, well tanned with thick dark frizzy/curly chocolate hair and brown eyes. She has a constant smirk on her face and prefers to wear expensive white dresses. As a wolf she's slender and 6'11 and well-endowed with lean muscles.

Fur Color: Dark Brown

Interests: She enjoys nature and has very little regard for anything outside it. She likes eating French and Italian food and tends to overindulge in red wine. She also likes playing the violin, which she plays rather well.

Dislikes: Anyone who disrespects her, conflicts with her or gets in her way.

Location: She lives in a lavish five room apartment in a great luxurious complex that caters specifically to upper class citizens.

Personality: She's a power hungry bitch(what?! I can use it in this context). She's fun-loving and refined but what she really wants is to dominate and control and has little regard for personal feelings.

Basic Background: She has always been used to affluent lifestyle and that what she wants and doesn't get...she takes. She was born of werewolf linneage and killed her own parents out of...disagreement. She is now tired of having half of her supressed and she has all the right influences and all the right connections with other packs and will desperately try to see to it that she gets what she wants.


...

...yes, you're right, Ann...very cheesy

[Govinda]

This looks well cool. Let's try it...

Name: Victoria LaValle

Age: 26

Gender: Female

Species: Human

Physical: Her job means that she's very fit. She's quite tall, standing at 5'9, with bright blonde hair and light blue eyes. Her skin is fair, and she has a penchant for red lipstick, and wears simple black suits.

Interests: Her work, and excelling at it. She doesn't know how to 'turn off' - she'll take her orders, and carry them out at any cost. She works for the government, in a sort of 'secret service' (if this doesn't exist, or is a problem, just let me know Ann and I'll revamp this nae bother). Her latest mission is investing the strange canine activites of late...

She's an Upper Class, and rising, with a large and lavish apartment designed by a stylist that she spends next to no time in. However, she has a taste for fine white wine, and efficient functionality. She's not very good at relationships. Victoria is, however, very good with guns, cars, and physical tasks.

Dislikes: Dilly-dathering, inefficiency, disobedience. She detests people pointing out her flaws.

Location: Her flat's in the city centre, not to far away from her branch office; but not too close either.

Personality: Victoria is known for being a tad ruthless. Her orders are her word and her world. The problem with her is that there isn't much more to her than that at the moment; it's just her job, her job, her job. Some part of her knows that this obsession with work is a cover-up for something, it's a facade, a drug - but until she works out what the problem is there's not much chance of her changing. She's notoriously rubbish at maintaining close relationships, yet looks at this with a critical eye, seeing it not for the huge personal and emotional problem it is but criticising herself for the effect the lack of friends could have on her ascension in the government.

Basic Background: The daughter of two teachers, neither of which she really speaks with anymore. Victoria excelled in everything at school, she wasa wonder kid, which was how she made it into the highly specialised government branch she now serves in. Work started to eat her life; it cost her the only real boyfriend she's ever had; and the work just kept piling up and piling up. Her parents send cards and she sends back more expensive ones, but Victoria doesn't think too much on her past - for her, it was just a means to an end. There were touching moments, close ones, as with every past, but that's all they are now: past. And they'll stay like that until Victoria works out what's wrong with her.


I hope this fits. Like I said, if anything's the matter with it, just say. And I just noticed, it'd pretty long, haha...well, better more than not enough, eh? Cheerio love.

[Violet]

((Okay, I think we have enough to start the RP. I'll post the RP up once I getback from the holidays. Hope you guys are still in the mood for this =p.))

[Evangel]

Coolio. I'll finish up on my profile before then.

[Xeim]

Definately ready! I'm excited to write for Crispin! I'm overflowing with ideas. xD Though, designing a religion is pretty tough. Kudos to people who've started existing religions. I mean really... >_> Research can be annnoying. It'll be a few more days before I've finished. Heh.
