Name: Clayton Victor Hughes
Gender: Male
Age: Appears in his middle to late 20's, but he is actually 150 years old. (Hopefully this is okay, because he would have been alpha through the war and so on!)
Species: Werewolf (Has a genetic mutation that some like to call Bloodwolf. This means that he is stronger than the average male, but also nearly doomed to roam alone his life. This is also why he is able to handle years so much better, and why he is so violent towards some werewolves around him. The Bloodwolf, those with the genetic mutation are also known to have a single mate, which makes them search for their second half so much harder and care for their mate so much more, as they only have one chance.)
Description: In his human form he is a burly man, though not in the unattractive way. He has many tattoos on his arms made with plain, black ink, and from his own handiwork. They are mostly different references to his past and honoring tattoos to those he had come to care for and lost. He has stubble at all times, though it is perfectly kept, as if he spends every moment tending to it, though he actually doesn't. His eyes are a dark brown, appearing nearly black when he is angry.
Clayton's form is muscular at 6'2", as he trains and fights constantly, by himself and with the other members of his pack. He is usually wearing an half-unbuttoned white, cotton shirt, and tight fitting black breeches. He finds himself wearing two black suspenders that somehow go along with his whole aura. With a strong jawline and hard, rough features, he makes it no question why he is the alpha of Bridgewater.
Personality: He is tough, possessive, and over all a high-tempered man. He'll easy fight anyone who dares to threaten what he calls his, especially his pack. You would expect him to want to be alone, but he is actually very invested in the well-being and training of his pack, though he does usually come out harsh in his own opinions about things. That doesn't stop his pack from trusting him and looking up to him as a strong leader that didn't seem to be leaving them anytime soon.
History: Clayton lived alone for many years, having been kicked out of his pack for not being strong enough at a very young age, not even five-years-old then. From that moment on he had to wander, fending for himself and teaching everything he needed to know by the power of observation. By the time he had reached the age of puberty, he was a still seen as a loner.
He transformed, having tried to fight it for a week prior, through the full moon, and into the next month. Yet, he was unable to deny his wolf that ripped out into the world. It was dark, strong, capable, and most of all, more dangerous than anyone could have ever imagined. No longer was he a weak boy, but with his wolf and with his sudden need to show everyone what he could really become, he began to train. At first, it didn't help very much, but then he began to fight other loners, getting rank among them. In his later teenage years he decided to fight his first, well-trained alpha.
Though he didn't win, he learned exactly what he needed to know to be able to win later. So, he continued to travel the word, practicing, training until he was ready to try again. This time, he headed towards one of the stronger pack, though nothing compared to the other ten packs that topped theirs. Little did he know that was the pack he had once originated from, come full circle. He fought tooth and nail, and came out victorious. Even with the title of alpha in a small pack, he continued to expand, taking two more packs into his own control and becoming one of the two top alphas in the world.
Pride burned through him, but it wasn't enough. It had never been enough. Instead, he wanted to show the world how powerful he was by fighting the rival pack, which was happy to take him on, eager. Strong wolves fought for over a decade, harsh and violent fighting. When neither came out victorious and both were wounded, they signed a peace treaty that would stop them from fighting for awhile.
Years later, he still was ready to fight, feeling the itch to claim more and more, until he had the world under his fingertips. Perhaps it was his pathetic attempt to fill the void of never finding his mate, no matter how many events he traveled to. He didn't even know himself. Still, he prepared his men, his women, for all out war, knowing that it could only be a matter of time before it struck down upon them.
Siblings: He has no clue, but he believes his mother never was able to give birth to any others before she died from silver poisoning by some other pack seven years after his birth, and two years after he was sent away. He didn't feel sad.
Other: Hopefully this is okay with you?

Name: Sapphire (Saffie) Laine
Gender: Female
Age: 30 years old, 31 in September
Species: Werewolf (No mutations)

Description:
Saffie is quite tall for her gender, standing at five foot nine inches tall. She has dark brown, shoulder length hair which has a natural, slight wave to it. Her eyes are a piercing cobalt blue, and her pale skin is dusted with freckles from head to toe. Saffie has been told that her facial features, along with other features, make her look like an 'english rose'. What this means, Saffie doesnt know but she knows it must be something good. She also has, what her mother called, 'child-bearing' hips and a large, round bottom. Saffie does like these few features about herself, but after that her self-confidence in her looks takes a nose dive. Her bust is small (something she hates as the other females in her family have quite generously sized busts), and she has extra weight on her stomach and thighs that no amount of diets or exercise have been able to move.

She doesn't have anything pierced or any tattoos. Saffie usually wears this simple and plain style of dress with the skirt and waistband (the black bit) in different colours, the top always remains white. She tries to get away without wearing a corset as much as possible as she finds it extremely uncomfortable. She wears her father's old, brown boots for everyday wear, especially when travelling the countryside, but for proper social occassions she wears plain (although different coloured) flat, slip-on shoes. She also wears plain gloves for proper social occassions but often goes without them otherwise, preferring to feel things with her own skin.

The fur on her Werewolf is the same colour as her hair and her eyes are the same blue as they are when they are human, as is the norm.

Personality:
Saffie is an honest person. She won't ever lie. She may withhold some information but she will never lie to anyone. She is normally rather composed, and always alert to the world around her - especially where her siblings are concerned. She's been their second mother since their real mother passed away and she's pretty much raised them herself. She is always on hand with damp cloths to clear up messes along with some first aid bits and bobs, and a little sewing kit as well as other odds and ends that could be needed at any time, anywhere, especially with her siblings around. If she sees someone in need or something that needs fixing, its almost instinct now for Saffie to go and help. She tries to be friendly to everyone she sees although it is harder with some people then others. When relaxed and with people she trusts she can be quite funny, she likes to laugh, friendly and just very open. The rest of the time she is often second guessing everything someone says or does as she finds it hard to trust after what her family has been through. Especially since she does have a right to be Alpha Female of the Blackbriar Forest Pack due to her parents and how they had raised as well as trained her to be one, and so she knows that if anyone feels threatened or wants to use her for such a purpose then she has to be on guard.

Saffie is a passionate woman with a large heart. She has a strong maternal instinct, and honestly she just yearns to love others although for now her love is limited to her siblings and father. It is a shame really as when she loves she loves with her whole heart. Still, as far as she is concerned if males can't get their stick out of their back and look past their shallow desires to see her for who she was then it was their loss. She is a very helpful person and very generous - if she can help she will do without thought to herself (although she always thinks of her family first as they are her first priority).

If she is backed into a corner, or someone needs defending, Saffie is a firecracker and won't hesitate to fight back whether its just with words or involves her turning into her Werewolf form although she tries to keep this to a minimum as she doesn't want this ability to get out. Whilst she has sworn off men a small part of her still carries hope she may find someone and so she doesn't want anyone to know her ability so that she can be sure if a male does show interest then it isn't to use her because of her ability.

History:
Maddox Kross was one part of the first Alpha pair that ruled when the rivalry war between his Pack and his rival's pack began. He ran the Pack well, made sure all able bodied Werewolves in his pack could fight and fight well so they could defend themselves and others if they needed to. In the present day it is hazy about when this war began, it is said it was a fight over a piece of territory that stood between his Pack and theirs that they were fighting over, although another theory was that the fight was over a girl, but the most realistic theory was that someone from one Pack most likely insulted the other, it happened to be a high ranked Werewolf in the pack and the result was an over-reaction. During his reign Maddox was as fair a king as a man born into high rank and wealth could be. However in this late forties he was murdered and everyone in the Pack said it must have been their rival pack and so the feud between the two Packs heightened. His Mate, Rowan, was heartbroken at the loss of Maddox and unable to carry on as Alpha she respectfully stepped aside and let her daughter take over. She tried to live on but it ended up being too hard to carry on without Maddox and so Rowan died just five short years later.

Rowan and Maddox's daughter, Celine, took up the position of Alpha Female without hesitation. As good an Alpha as her father was there were a few things she wished to change. After all at the end of the day a male's instinct was to fight whether it was for hunting, defending, or attacking whilst a female's was to nurture and protect. She brought in a few new laws, got rid of others and changed a few already standing. There were some unhappy with this but the Pack kept working as a tight unit. Things got tougher when Celine chose Dawson, a very low ranked Wolf, as her Mate and therefore Alpha Male. There was quite a big outcry over this but eventually it seemed to settle down once Celine made it clear that Dawson was not going anywhere in her life or the Pack's.

It was shortly after this that Celine gave birth to Sapphire and for a couple of years Pack life was peaceful. However it was then that things began to get rocky, there was news of other Packs being taken over, sights of the rival Pack, and some disgruntled about Dawson still and the fact the Alpha pair's offspring would now be weaker for it. There was a lot of unrest and so it was quite a few years before Celine gave birth to her next child, Emmie, once things had settled a bit. It had settled so well that two years later she gave birth to Ruby, and then a year later gave birth to the twins Malachite and Jasper.

Unfortunately the happiness wasn't to last. Just after Malachite and Jasper turned two years old, Celine was found murdered on the territory borders. Signs showed it was a Werewolf but they could not tell who as there was a mix of different scents and marks that were usual for any territory border. Whilst it was said that the rival pack must have done it there were rumours it was a member of the Blackbriar Forest Pack. Dawson was understandably heartbroken and since he hadn't been an Alpha on his own merit before he stood down as Alpha and took back his very low ranking he had previously. When an experienced, cold, and blunt woman fought for and took over the Alpha Female title, rumours flared it had been her that murdered Celine to gain the title but nothing has ever been proven.

It wasn't long before her father began to get ill. He grew weak, his bones brittle, and gained a strong case of arthritis. Saffie assumed like her grandparents he was suffering from a broken heart that would eventually claim his life. Since then Saffie has been caring for her siblings and father, doing her best to keep them healthy, fed, clothed, in shelter and educated. It has been hard but the fact they were still part of the Blackbriar Forest Pack helped as she didn't have to go out and hunt for the family - she still had some support.

Saffie isn't like most Werewolves though. Male Werewolves when they go through puberty they have their first transformation into their Werewolf form along with the wolf instincts. Female Werewolves gain just their wolf instincts in puberty, and when they gain a Mate or a Mate as well as pups, that is when they go through their first transformation as it gives their instinct this drive to protect their Mate and/or pups. Despite the difference in times of transformation both genders of Werewolves have every ability to be just as strong and powerful as each other. It just varies everyone as a person due to their personality and lifestyle.

Saffie however was different. She did gain her wolf instincts at puberty. All her life, to the present day, Saffie has never known a man to have any interest in her - not a look or even a cheesy pick up line. She has not even held a boy's hand when she was younger. When she was of age, at sixteen, Saffie didn't take up the opportunity to go to the Regionals, mostly because of her low self confidence and the fact she was often the target the other Werewolves used to bully or let off steam which in the end did end up as the same thing to Saffie. When she reached twenty four, almost twenty five, in a burst of emotion and adrenaline (upon seeing her two younger sisters having to defend themselves against the same treatment she got despite the fact her two sisters were beautiful), Saffie experienced her first transformation into a Werewolf, lunging to get between her sisters and the bullies. She scared the bullies off that day and since then no one has ever messed with her siblings although the digs towards herself still occur but they try to be subtle about it or do it behind her back in such a way it would still get back to her.

With a new boost of self confidence in the ability to do something no other female can, Saffie went to her first Regionals. Males still treated her the same. It was awful because it wasn't as if they were dismissing her, no, they were just looking and treating her like she was this sexless thing that happened to be able to walk and talk. She went to the Regionals five times in a row, until she was thirty, and with the same treatment Saffie gave up. She vowed to never go to another Regional, National, or International ever again and whilst she was at it vowed off men forever. If they weren't interested in her then she wasn't interested in them as far as she was concerned.

Unfortunately Emmie, the second eldest child, has now reached of age and is requesting Saffie to chaperone her at the next Regionals coming up.
