The MacCabe pack can be traced back through the centuries to Scotland. Lou comes from a long line of alphas, and it was expected that upon his dad’s passing, he would become one as well. His dad was widely loved and respected not only among his pack but also popular with other supernatural sects. Often aiding others when they needed to hide from humans or seek protection. Lou idolized his father, and the two were quite close. At fifteen, his father unexpectedly died small craft accident. At first, the pack decided they would run things by a proxy of elders until Lou came of age, but unfortunately, one wolf in the pack had their eye on being alpha. Three days after his father’s death, Lou was challenged for the position by a wolf three times his age. After a violent and ruckus meeting among the pack, it was decided they needed to honor all laws, and that Lou would have to fight the challenging wolf. So a very grief-stricken fifteen-year-old showed up that day already knowing he couldn’t carry the responsibility of the pack on his shoulders, and he wouldn’t be walking out of the forest that night as the victor. He put on a show for a while before allowing the other to win. It would be the first time in centuries that someone other than a MacCabe led the pack.

Despite the new alpha, Lou remained beloved by everyone. Thinking that fate interjected he leaned into other things. Interestingly, enough there’s a definite faction within the pack just waiting for Lou to challenge the alpha. A majority of the pack rely on Lou the way they did his father; seeking him out on advice and other matters. It absolutely infuriates their Alpha who feels undermined. The older Lou gets the more pressure he feels to unseat the wolf.

Presently, Lou runs a bar called the Lowdown on the outskirts of town. It’s a popular hangout for the supernatural, especially werewolves and shifters. It has a reputation as being a bit rough. Lou remains close to one of his father's best friends Dalton, a pack leader from across town. Many of their views align. There’s some tension as the pack finds themselves trying to keep themselves pure, and keep both made wolves and shifters out.

*** Alpha is only a reference to the wolf pack's leader. Lou is not A/B/O

Louis came into this world under judgment and ill will. He was born to an unmarried young woman whose parents were infuriated that she'd given birth to a bastard. His grandparents ran a small shoe shop and upon his birth asked their daughter and grandson to leave.

Sara, his mother took a position as a maid within the palace and it was enough to support them. They lived in a humble small one-room flat close by. Louis frequently visited his mother at work and the rambunctious child was well-known and favored among staff. Rather early on he caught the eye of a king's guard who offered to make him an apprentice after witnessing his athleticism.

At the age of ten, he left the care of his mother to stay at the palace and began his rigorous training. Given he was the apprentice of the king's most favored guard he often traveled and had many interactions with the royal family. To better himself during his teen years he enthusiastically sought out an education from staff members and eventually learned to read.

Shortly, before his 18th birthday he thwarted an assassination attempt on a visiting nobleman which earned him admiration and respect among his own king and ruling class. By the age of twenty-one, he was knighted by his queen and gifted an estate. He immediately retired his mother who runs the day-to-day there. He is rarely home given he likes to stay near the queen.

6. Does your character have recurring themes in their dreams?

Mal has repeated dreams of falling down the stairs. He’s walking down a long flight, usually carrying something heavy or awkward, he misses a step, and then he starts falling and falling and falling and then wakes up with a jerk. Sometimes Mal dreams he’s falling for what feels like hours. He also has a kind of dream “world” where a lot of his dreams take place, which is very much like if his every day life were filmed and lit like an old gangster movie. He has no idea why.

Lou, as a general rule, tends not to remember her dreams. Sometimes when she’s stressed she’ll have dream about being locked in a box or trapped in a very small space, or alternatively standing in a huge open field and looking up at a cloudy sky, but often she’ll have the though “I’m dreaming.” and then wake up shortly after. She doesn’t have a lot of emotions attached to dreams.

15. Is your character preoccupied with money or material possession? Why or why not?

Neither Mal or Lou are overly materialistic but Mal likes to be comfortably padded when it comes to money, and Lou adores little knick-knacks and collectibles. So just the regular amount I guess?

Having said that, there was a decent amount of time in his twenties where Mal considered selling everything he owned but his bike and a backpack and riding solo across the country. These days he’s glad he never got around to it.

17. What was your character’s favorite toy as a child?

Mal had a stuffed toy dog called Banjo who was blue with patchwork style ears.

Glasses! (I unfortunately need braces too but eh, I won’t get them anytime soon).

What’s your fashion sense?

Whatever’s clean, I suppose? I’ve never had an eye for fashion, but I generally go for dark-colored shirts and pants, and If I could I’d always wear black leggings and sleeveless shirts. Shoes, eh, sneakers outside and crocs inside home, that’s all.

Just Lourdes, no middle names here.

I’m from San Juan (Argentina) and I’m still looking for the chance to get away from here xD.

What school do you go to?

As of now I’m not attending any school or college officially, mostly because I got overwhelmed and wanted to wait another year to see if it was for me. However, I’m going to an English Institute to practice my pronunciation!

What kind of student are you?

The listened-to-teachers yet procrastinated-and-didn’t-study-for-exams kind. 

Do you like school?

Hmm, I’d say I liked it half of the time- some of my classmates made my time there a bit annoying, yes, but I had my group of friends and I liked learning, so it wasn’t all bad.

Favorite subject?

History (obvi), Literature, Biology and Geography.

Favorite tv shows?

I don’t watch too much TV, but Designated Survivor and GOT are some of the shows I’m planning to catch up. 

Favorite movie?

I’m not really a movie watcher? I legit can’t remember most of them, but I can say Disney/Pixar movies are some of my faves along with Grown Ups I & II (and let me say I only remember these last two ‘cause they’re usual in family nights lmao).

Favorite book?

HMMM, THESE QUESTIONS ARE GETTING TRICKY. The only correct answer would be that I have many and can’t decide for one but I always end up returning to the same book series over and over again: Harry Potter, Percy Jackson (who am I kidding all of Rick Riordan’s books are a must read), John Green’s books, Jane Eyre, Little Women, Anne Frank’s diary and some more. 

Favorite past time?

Writing, gaming, reading, doing research, staring at the wall for hours. Did I mention doodling and daydreaming?

Yeah, I do.

Same answer as above.

2 or 3.

What countries have you visited?

Brazil is the only one! I’d definitely love to visit more someday though.

Scariest nightmare you’ve even had?

The kind that always stick after I wake up. Some are about me running away from something (or someone) in a dark, long corridor while others are about jumping from a high place and falling until I hit the ground. 

Any enemies?

I don’t know?

Any significant one?

Nope.

Do you believe in miracles?

I do! 

How are you?

[ EXPERIENCE ]

HOW LONG (MONTHS/YEARS?): 10+ years! PLATFORMS YOU’VE USED: Various IM services (Skype, Discord, etc.), Tumblr, Livejournal/Dreamwidth... at one point I was even rping on MySpace.   BEST EXPERIENCE: Uh... probably the Discord server I created and have going on right now honestly! We’ve got a good mixed bag of characters and some really fun, friendly, and creative muns. It feels great to have such a relaxed place to roleplay and connect with others. 

[ WRITING  PREFERENCES ]

FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT?: I love all three equally and don’t really have a preference... though I guess if I had to choose it would probably be teeth rotting fluff. I live and breathe for cutesy ass shit my dudes. PLOTS OR MEMES: I technically don’t do “plots” on this blog since there’s no F2F, so memes it is. Honestly it works better for me because I’ve always been a “wing it” kind of rper and am not very good at coming up with detailed plans. That doesn’t mean I won’t participate in them though. LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: Despite the fact that this is an IC only blog I actually prefer my replies to have some substance and detail, so I usually opt for longer replies in F2F roleplays and always have. I just like to write a lot. Please don’t be intimidated by this and think you have to be the same. BEST TIME TO WRITE: Generally anytime I’m awake and not horribly distracted by something lmfao ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S): We’re both incredibly stupid and love food.

oof what good ones

3: their greatest achievement - cass

Depends on what mood he’s in tbh, and honestly he’d never admit to any of these out loud.

Overall? How much he’s survived. He survived Christopher and he survived going back . He survived Tucker, and the Facility in general. He survived losing Henri. He survived his friends turning him away. 

But day to day, it changes. He’d never admit to this, but the things he considers as his greatest achievements are actually quite small. He’s ridiculously proud of having friends who love him. 

For future!Cass as in the drabble I’m writing as we speak his greatest achievement is just being the person who gets Josiah to smile like that.

9: their theme - lou

ngl i don’t fully know what this means so i’m answering it in two ways

as a literary theme? some sort of combination of prejudice, courage and perseverance, and the power of love
