#wr.intro

From birth the young wolf was separated from his pack, thanks to a prophecy that followed them from hundred of years before. Three young siblings with potential. One remained in the pack, to be raised among their people. The second was left for dead, a sacrifice the pack deemed as necessary for their survival. The third, Grayson, was left on a winter night in front of the door of a nearby orphanage for the humans to take in. He grew up in this orphanage, growing close relationships with the staff that roamed the halls, and dreaming of one day having a family to call his own.

For a couple of years, everything was fine for Grayson. In hindsight, had he known of his true origins, the signs should’ve been evident the closer it came to his fourteenth birthday. His body was developing quicker than he could handle, strength getting stronger than he knew possible, and everything seemed to be turning inside out for him. He turned when he was fourteen, a feeling he’d never forget. Being scared, and having nowhere else to turn to, he confined in one of the staff members he thought were there to help. But just before his second full moon, they chained him up in a room that was located beneath the orphanage. They told him it was to keep the other children safe, as well as himself, and while that might’ve been some of the truth, but the reason was mostly because they did not want anyone to know of his existence within the orphanage. 

So, he reminded in that room, until he turned eighteen. On his eighteenth birthday he was taken from his room in the odd hours of the evening. The staff from the orphanage took him to the forest, telling him it was to let him get some fresh air for a while, but they failed to inform him that that’s where they would be leaving him. Filled with fear, confusion, and some sadness, Grayson eventually figured out how to navigate this new chapter of his life. Even to this day, he doesn’t carry ill feelings towards the orphanage staff. He can understands why they did what they did and he’s forgiven them for it.

Along the way he did make friends but ultimately, he’s never stuck around somewhere too long. Mainly due to always finding himself trusting the wrong people, which has gotten him mixed up in some dangerous situations. He stumbled upon Westray one summer, while drifting, and fell in love almost instantly with the place. There was something in the air, or just in general surrounding the place, that had a gravitational pull with him. It took a bit of time but after a while, Gray found his home within Westray. It’s where he has been residing for a little bit now. He became a bartender at the Rusty Dog, a gig he loves very much, always enjoying the stories the clients have to share. He is also passionate about photography and does a lot of street art. He is still very trusting, forgiving, and caring about those around him. That’s the thing about Grayson, despite the chains he had endured all those years, they could never break his spirit. He’s especially involved with nature, loving to grow things and care for plants. While he isn’t sure how to navigate his werewolf side, considering he’s never had anyone to show him, and he thinks he’s a cursed human because of it, Gray tries to not let it get in the way of his every day life.

HEADCANNONS

He’s a jokester kind of guy, always enjoying making people laugh, playing innocent pranks, just lighthearted fun. 

He’s easily flustered and blushes if you try to flirt with him. Considering he’s never been kissed, or even held hands with someone, it’s not something he is used to really happening. Let alone doing. 

He has a podcast named the Ghost Shift. He calls it the ghost shift because, well, he thinks it’s funny that he mostly talks about the paranormal on it. 

He is his quietest when a full moon approaches because his mind is usually consumed with anxiety. He often tends to disappear for a bit during it and afterwards. 

He still has zero idea he has any sort of siblings out there.

He has a roommate whom he adores very much and is always thankful for because they take care of him when he needs it the most. Mostly when he returns from a full moon. (OPEN WC)

HISTORY.

Tw; Mentions of Death, Sex Work, War, and a Historical Massacre

Alexios was born in 1725 on the island of Chios in Greece. His family was poor but happy. Tragedy would strike when he was little, though, and they would die when he was 13 from a boating accident. 

It was not up to him to try and care for & provide for his 5-year-old sister. Money was hard to come by, no matter how much they asked for charity. Everything he made would go towards feeding and clothing his sister. 

He would work the streets begging until he was about 19, giving up on his ego and pride… he’d turn to prostitution, where the money was better and it was easier for him to bring in what they needed. 

Alexios had a reputation that he was good, but you better pay upfront and good or else he would make sure you paid in other ways. It ensured that no one bothered him or his sister, despite the shame he felt doing what he did. 

When he was 30, he knew he was aging. Work was slowing down when suddenly he found himself under the gaze of the most fascinating person he’d ever met. They had sensed something in him as well, and eventually….they turned Alexios into a Vampire. 

Eternal beauty was his now; he was stronger, had more stamina. Work was easier, and he made more…. Now finding new career paths, saving up money, he became a lender of sorts…his reputation helping him in the underworld trade. 

When he was 50, Alexios left the island for Athens, and from there he began to travel more and more….Paris, London, Berlin, Vienna, Venice all the great cities of Europe. 

In 1822, just shy 3 years of his 100th birthday, another tragedy would strike. His sister, now 89, along with her children and her grandchildren, and even her great-grandchildren, would be victims of the Massacre at Chios; he would lose the remainder of his family. 

After this, it became almost impossible for Alexios to trust anyone, and he would become incredibly solitary. However, he did return to his home country and fought in the revolution for Greek Independence. When the war was over, he left once again to travel. 

He built up a fortune, and he would make sure he never knew discomfort again. As time went on, he slowly found vampires that didn’t fit the mold painted for them, just like himself, and 10 years ago, created Clan Solune.

FULL NAME: Natalia Castillo SPECIES: Hunter/Unknown Fae AGE: 24 DATE OF BIRTH: November 5, 2000 GENDER IDENTITY: Cis Woman OCCUPATION: Musician, Trust fund kid, Hunter POSITIVE TRAITS: Adventurous, Protective, Independent, Spunky NEGATIVE TRAITS: Addictive, Rebellious, Vengeful, Impulsive SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Bisexual LENGTH OF TIME IN WESTRAY: All her life TATTOOS/SCARS: She has a small dagger under her right rib cage. She also has a lightning scar on her hands that she tries to say is a tattoo but it really happened the day she was attacked (this will start showing up more on her body once she realizes her powers) FACE CLAIM: Isabela Merced

★ BIOGRAPHY ★

TRIGGER WARNING: death tw, attack tw Natalia doesn't remember much about growing up with both her parents. The thing they really remember is how much she was loved. She felt like everything was right and her parents loved both her and each other. She first knew about death when she was just five years old. One of her parents died suddenly and it was like the household was shattered. Her other parent just threw themselves in their work, trying to be anywhere but home. Anywhere but looking at the child that looked like a carbon copy of the spouse they just lost tragically. So Natalia was mostly left alone growing up. Maids tried to take care of her when she was young but Natalia started becoming different. More angry and resentful as she grew older. Sooner it was better for the maids to just leave Natalia alone, everyone getting what they wanted out of the situation. She spent countless of nights out, partying and forgetting every shitty feeling that felt entwined with her -- that just felt like was a part of her being now. The two places she hung out with the most were her great uncle Eduardo's house, only stopping when he moved in Rosita, and the Hawthornes. One night after partying out in the woods Natalia somehow broke away from the party and stumbled across something she knew immediately she wasn't meant to see. A witch was performing some ritual, or at least what Natalia thought, and she walked right into the trap. The rest happened so fast Natalia wasn't sure exactly what happened but she knew the truth. The witch tried to attack her, lightning coursing through her body, making Natalia fall to the ground as she passed out. When she woke up the witch was gone but something grew root in Natalia like nothing ever before. She had only told the Hawthornes what happened and they were quick to take her under her wing. Natalia was a quick study and always had a habit of throwing herself into different hobbies that helped extinguish the fire within her. Over the years she perfected her skills and joined in whenever she was allowed. Natalia always kept an eye out for the witch from that night, her hatred for her building more and more. Natalia doesn't know that she actually caused the lightning but she'll find out eventually BUM BUM BUMMMMM.

BIOGRAPHY

Life started in the bayou of the great state of Louisiana, Joseph Ryan Baudelaire came into this world to Augustin and Beatrice Baudelaire.  Things appeared fine on the outside, yet there was a lot of chaos brewing in the home.  Joseph’s father, a man that had brought the town’s football to state as the star quarterback, blew out his knee during his first year in college and was forced to drop out since he lost his scholarship.  With lost dreams came the alcohol at first, then later taking out his pain and suffering on his wife and son.  Later, his mother started to become sick and became pregnant with Joseph’s younger brother.  It was during childbirth that she died giving birth to her son and it left an eight-year-old Joseph taking care of his baby brother and father.

During his childhood, he met a girl named Carina in kindergarten who saw a shy boy with no lunch.  The little girl shared her lunch with him that day and since then Joseph had been in love with her.  Throughout his childhood and teens, Joseph kept a watchful eye on his father, making sure he didn’t burn down the house and managed to take care of his kid brother by working and making sure his brother ate first then himself.  In high school, Joseph was a popular jock who played football, baseball and wrestled.  He was the star quarterback, and his childhood girlfriend was the head cheerleader.  It was the night after graduation that he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him.  She said yes, even though he did not have a penny to his name and no prospects.  That summer, they got married and took his younger brother out of the abusive household to create a new life.

As luck would have it, they stumbled upon a town called Westray.  It was an odd town, yet it felt like home.  It took some time to settle in, but Carina worked for a nursing degree and became the school nurse at the local school, while Joseph joined the armed forces.  During their time, they had three beautiful children.

At the ripe age of thirty, Joseph joined a secret sector of the military that few people had knowledge of its existence and was given the code name Roman.  Only those with certain expertise joined the ranks of this elite task force.  The mission was simple, to take out targets no one even knew existed; threats against the United States and the free world.  Over the next decade, Roman would place work as his highest priority, being gone for months at a time without so much as a word between his wife and him.

For almost half a decade, he went on numerous missions until one fateful day the mission went into disarray.  The men and women he called family were killed next to him, he barely survived but the enemy certainly left their mark on him with the burns from the blast along his left side of his back along with the mental scars no one can see.

Roman emerged from the ashes, after months of therapy and counseling he returned home to Westray to his faithful wife and children, a broken man.  Civilian life did not suit Joseph well; he lost all sense of worth knowing he survived while his boys and girls were buried six feet under.  Things began to unravel quickly with his inability to keep a job, his anger issues and alcoholism.  Despite his wife’s efforts to comfort him and help him through this turmoil, Roman could not climb out of the hole he was digging.

Things got worse when Carina was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer.  Joseph managed to sober up for the sake of his wife and children as she went through surgery and chemotherapy, but she lost her life just over a year later after her diagnosis.  After her death, the man everyone used to know was a hollow shell of who he used to be.  Joseph no longer existed, all that was left was Roman.  Roman’s eldest son took up the mantle of taking care of his father and siblings, causing a fracture in their relationship that has never been fixed.

★ BIOGRAPHY ★

TRIGGER WARNING: crime tw, bad parents tw, death tw, blood tw Maia had to laugh that her name in Māori meant “one who has unconditional love” because she seemed to have anything but.  She barely knew her father, only knowing that he knew her mother from a con she was involved in, so naturally when he wasn’t in the picture her mother tried her best to raise Maia on her own in her home country of New Zealand.  However her mother, couldn’t stay out of the business for long.  Most of the time Maia couch surfed, family and friends taking her in until her mother came back for her, and it wasn’t until Maia started being able to realize what the family business was that she realized she needed to be useful. She started using her childlike charm and cuteness on her mother’s cons, always believing that if she did well enough her mom would make enough money and they could actually settle down together and live a normal life.  But the more Maia grew up the more cynical she got, knowing dreams were something that she should never afford to let herself fall into one.  As Maia was of age she ran from home and started doing her own jobs, soon having a crew of trusted individuals that she thought she could call family. Little did she know that trust was misplaced. One particular con went south when some of her crew betrayed her and convinced the mark to join in on the real con of getting back at Maia.  What she didn’t expect was that the mark was actually a vampire and was so mad at Maia that he thought he killed her as revenge.  Maia blacked out and the next thing she knew she was covered in blood and everyone had abandoned her and took her things, thinking she was successfully dead. She gathered what she could and started moving around and changing her name.  Still doing minor cons at times but she mostly stopped after the one that ended in her death.  Maia lived a life that was full of movement and loneliness even if she didn’t want to admit it.  One day she heard about the town of Westray and made her way over to check it out.  She hasn’t been in Westray for very long and is still getting used to everything but Maia hopes that this could be as close to a home for her as possible.
