Rory:
The hero of my tales usually. Rory has been my character and has been with me since... wow, since I was only 12 years old. He's been through thick and thin and has undergone the most character changes. He gets re-used and recycled often, having really no story to call his home. Whenever I do something that I can throw a werewolf in this snarky little guy usually finds his way there. However, there are a few things that always stick. His father is always an important werewolf, his mother is very soft spoken, and he has an older brother named Connar who is big and muscular, whereas our darling little Rory is rather petite for his kind, werewolves are a naturally tall people and Rory is only about as tall and muscular as an athletic human of his age. Almost all of my werewolf characters play at least one instrument, they're very musical. Rory plays the drums and sings tenor. In some stories he also plays other percusion instruments like the marimba, and some easier wind powered one like the kazoo and harmonica, but these only appear as traits of his in some stories.
Connar:
Connar, he's a hard one. He undergoes more story-related changes than any of the other werewolf characters of mine. Some stories make Connar into a more villenous role for Rory, he's the oppressive, aggressive, big, baddass older brother. In situations like that normal a character named Eva is added to the story, a 6 year old little sister for Rory to relate to and have a sibling relationship with. However in the majority of stories, where Connar and Rory are actually pretty tight, Eva doesn't even exist. In the stories where these brothers are close Connar always plays the guitar. In versions that are more modernized he plays electric whereas ones with fantasy settings he plays one more similar to acoustic. Connar also features as a law enforcement figure in almost all stories. Connar is more aggressive than Rory, as well as being much more muscular. Though both look similar in face and skin tone and hair color Connar swims mostly in their father Rudolph's genepool, and Rory exibits the more lean and tight features of his mother's family. Connar, in his positive roles, is protective and has a very good sense of humor. People become like family to him very easily and he'd protect anyone from anything if he could. Connar's sexuality can be disputed throughout different stories. In the more fantasy ones where he lives in a tribal society he's normally unmarried, but straight. However, in more modernized stories he's bisexual. Very rarely though is a love interest ever scripted for Connar, and usually he develops little crushes he keeps bottled up, unfortunatly though he never acts on them and always seems to miss his chance with whatever special someone he was agonizing over.
Cooger:
Cooger is sometimes Rory and Connar's cousin, other times he's Connar's best friend who also hangs with Rory. In all stories where he appears he is married to the buxom red-head Robin. Some stories start out with him about to become a father, others he makes his appearance as having just become one to a beautiful little girl. Many people wonder about his name, seeing as a Cooger is a big cat and not a dog.... people... I know this. I'm not entirely stupid. Cooger is named for his cat-like eyes. Even if he is a werewolf it doesn't change the fact he was born with naturally slanted shiney eyes. Cooger is a very patient person, it takes a lot to get on his nerves, but isn't that expected of a man of the cloth? Believe it or not all times Cooger appears he features as some kind of religious leader. A High Preist in tribal society and your average everyday preacher in more modern ones. Cooger believes very much that God is kind and forgiving and rewards people based on if they are good people, not what faith they believe in. He may look like a bad a** rebel, constantly wearing sunglasses and having his hair in dreadlocks, but really he is a very paturnal guy. He calls people brother and sister, except his wife and daughter, they are his "Beloved and Darling." Cooger is also musically inclined and plays a staggering amount of instruments, having been more musical in his youth before God called. In tribal ones he plays something like a ukulele or a mandolin. But in modern ones he can play those in addition to base guitar, saxophone, trumpet, piano and... that's right... Cooger plays organ for the choir to sing to, of course his superiors really don't like that it's a Jazz Organ.
Elder Skunk:
Okay, another werewolf named after an animal that has nothing to do with wolves. Alright. Elder Skunk is called that because he has black hair, but in his twenties a stripe of white had shot down it. When he took notice of this feature he changed his name from Goodhue to Skunk, but few people remember his old name. Elder Skunk's appearances are limited really only to the tribal scenes. He's the Elder of his village, many of the people turn to him for advise on what exactly to do in a crisis. Skunk has seen much of the world and has met with many people of many races, and has even become a surogate father to a young dragon lad, an unheard of thing seeing as dragons and werewolves rarely get along. Skunk is a pacifist and believes killing another person is wrong, and fighting them is just as wrong if you're not defending yourself. He is always displayed in a teacher role and sadly in all stories he faces the promblem of his hindersome age and his approching death. Elder Skunk, in all his greatness, is a character destined to be dieing forever, because if he does not whomever plays the role of his student will never stand on their own feet and become a hero.
Robin:
Robin is Cooger's wife and the mother of his child. They are one of my most romantic couples and love each other with a love more powerful that the sea, if you want to get mushy at least. Robin is very much the dominant one in their relationship. She makes the majority of the decisions and is almost always in complete control and Cooger loves it that way, leaves him responcible for little more than writing his sermons, being a father and taking care of the house and he's VERY cool with that. Robin is a slightly flat character though. She appears in both modern and tribal stories but can sometimes come off as bitchy, regrettably, because she's almost always introduced when she's nine months pregnant. Of course after their darling daughter is born she snaps back into her incredible, super-model-like figure some how and goes back to work as a singer at a local five-star restaurante, at least in modern stories. In tribal ones she works as just one of the average woman weavers for the sake of the tribe. She's charismatic and sexy but also rather cynicle and mistrusting of people when she first meets them, the polar opposite of Cooger's trust in everybody.
Adrion:
Oh Adrion, where to begin with you. Well, let's start with the obviouse....
you're a ghost.
yep. In life Adrion loved working on machines, he had thin little hands and fingers, perfect for tinkering and inventing things but he also suffered from social anxiety. He frequently locked himself away in the cellar to work on knick knacks and other inventions without much help from anybody. That was his downfall. At 20 years old he hadn't yet moved out of his parents home, in the early 1900's this was an odd thing, his parents left on a few day vacation with some friends, but because of his anxiety Adrion decided to just stay home alone. Big mistake, that night he got himself caught in one of the large machines he used. He wasn't just killed... he was mutalated beyond recognition. Just a mass of blood and human tissue. And if this wasn't sad enough his parents didn't get home for four more days, on the fifth day they returned and when straight to bed... and it wasn't until the mourning of the sixth day after he had died did his parents begin to worry and his father broke the lock on the cellar just to find his deteriorating remains. Because his death was so gruesome and because he was too anxious to mingle with so many of the ghosts in the church yard he wandered off some where. That is his story. Sometimes he comes from a British family, sometimes he's as American as apple pie, but that's his past in all of them and in all of them he eventually meets up and befriends Dran the vampire, an equally misunderstood individual. From there they meet Rory, also a break from the werewolf mold. And finally Leon and Thailor, refugee's from Elf Lands. Slowly his social anxiety begins to deteriorate, becoming only acute shyness. Adrion never shows up in fantasy world stories, he is only featured in modern ones.
Dran:
Dran, either you love him or hate him. He definatly isn't your stereotypical vampire. Dran is a very sweet man, he loves kids and is very kind and polite to everybody. He wasn't born a vampire either. In more tradgic stories he was seduced by a beautiful vampiress, bitten and, loosing control of himself while turning, killed his 8 year old neice, Elizah, but didn't turn her and she died. Horrified by killing the person he cared for most in the world he fled his home and started a new life with his friend Adrion, who he holds dear because Adrion is an understanding person and because he can never hurt the ghost. In less tradgic stories Dran was nearly abducted from a playground by a vampire when he was a little boy, but his diligent mother saved him before the creep got him into his car. Unfortunatly he wasn't saved from the turning bite and grew up having to drink cows blood purchased from the butcher to sustain himself. Luckily though in all versions Dran has a trait that is rare and special. He can be in direct sunlight without fear of melting away. Dran's hobby is wood carving. His room is littered with tiny sculpture of rabbits and ducks and dolls. And in the summertime he likes to get manly and take a chainsaw to a treestump to create large scale carvings. Dran, like Adrion, never appears outside a modern day story.
Leon:
One word to describe Leon is "player." Leon loves the ladies and has been known to have more than six girlfriends at a time, none of which know about the others. Leon usually features in stories with Rory, Adrion and Dran in modern day stories but in all he lives wherever his twin sister Thailor lives. They came as one they go as one. Leon seems charming and independant, trueth is he's just charming. Thailor pulls the strings and all the characters who know her fear her, especially her younger twin, who had to share a womb with her. Leon is a neat freak, he frets over messes and usually his room is spotless. He dusts, polishes and vacumes at least once a day in the rooms where he spend most of his time. Also Leon is a vegetarian leaning towards vegan. The sight of meat or someone eatting meat makes him nausious, something Rory loves to take advantage of seeing as the little werewolf is a meat-eatter AND doesn't get along well with the high and mighty long eared cheater. Leon has goodsides too though. He's feircely loyal, and respects all women, even if they aren't drop dead gorgeous because he knows all girls are princesses inside and diserve to be treated as such. Him and his sister are nearly identical if not for the obviouse differences. Leon only appears in stories with Adrion and Dran and never features in a fantasy one, ironically, despite being an Elf.
Thailor:
Thailor, she's one of my more bitchy protagonists. She barely does anything around the house, she can order Leon, Dran, Rory and Adrion to do those things. She loves nothing more than seeing lots of men doing lots of work around her house. No matter who lived there first once Thailor comes into the picture the domicile becomes her own and her master of all she sees. Thailor is a goth, she dresses in dark lolita and is tattooed and peirced in multible places, and to the chagrin of her brother, wears ten inch high heel shoes, fishnet stockings and a low neckline corset as well.
Doctor Sidhe:
