(Love for ya to join Lazzy! And defintiely, Nola would be.. not very happy with the a zero control shifter. She's had some bad experiences, and knows the effects of having no control whilst you're shifted, especially during a full moon. So that's when she's like 'Oh hell nah-'
And running into Javalle xD Just get's K.O'd by a running Jack.

And here we have, my hunter bois. I have so, so many plans for these two(: There might be some revisions later, of certain things, but this is pretty much what I have for the two! Name: Karsus ‘Blair’ Alasdair
Description: Blair is a scruffy, but decently put together man. His medium colored brown hair is normally in a slightly curly mess on his head, cut into what he thinks his barber said was a.. Sorta undercut? Something like that. With slightly sun grazed skin, and plenty of specks of beauty marks and freckles. And plenty of scars, of course. And his eyes are a green-grey mix. He’s a bit of a more lithe man than he is large. And while he’s got some muscle, he’s more of a runner than a pusher. Standing at a decent 5’9”, he’s normally dressed in more sturdy practical clothes. Jeans, though normally blue jeans he prefers black jeans for the style. And he normally throws on whatever shirt he may have, plus a jacket for more pockets. Though another preference, style wise, is knitted sweaters, and he’s got no idea why.
Age: He’s 31 years old, and already tired like he’s 70.
What you are: Blair is a hunter.
Personality: Karsus, goes by, Blair, is a reluctant, and all around not very cheery man. While not overly depressing, he doesn’t have too much he’s cheery or particularly happy about. He’s steadfast, and assured at making decisions. He’s confident in the way of necessity more than anything. Outside of hunting business , or work in general, that confidence lessens some. He’s more introverted, but willing to talk. He’s more of a talk when needed type to newcomers. Outside of that, he’s rather loose with words, mostly muttered complaints under his breath.. And he’s definitely got a sense of humor, he’s not all gloomy. He’s more serious, but his humor is still quite active. More sarcastic, or quick quips, but he can on occasion make some dumb joke for the fun of the reactions.
Most dumb jokes are made to keep the mood up really. He knows he can be a bit of a downer for some people, and tries, for certain people, to not seem miserable. Thing is, he’s not miserable per say, like some people think, just mellowed as a man could be. The main reasons for his more mellowness is from being so deeply involved in the ‘business’. He’d always planned for a normal life.. And that didn’t happen.
Most of his life was spent learning about hunting shifters, and other types of creatures. He’s had few run ins with such oddities, the vast majority of his skill lies with tracking, hunting, and killing shifters. Blair’s, again, never wanted to be in the business of hunting, but it happened anyway. He does have morals, but when it comes to shifters, it’s more of a ‘kill or be killed’ situation. He knows them to be dangerous. So he treats them as so. While not willing to be a hunter, he felt he couldn’t abandon the position, especially from the ‘encouragement’ his family gave him. And.. past experiences he’d rather never mention again. Avoid asking about the rather large scar going from his shoulder, curled around the shoulder blade, and down towards his hip.. And you’ll be fine. It’s an old scar, though oddly, it still always looks the tiniest bit fresh, with tinges of pink at the edges.
There’s reasons why he can’t sleep at night.
Pet description: His (and Wulver’s) dog, Glasgow, is an.. oddly large dog, for their breed. Being a mix between an Alaskan Malamute, and a German Shepherd. They look just a bit more like their German Shepherd side, but definitely take from the very thick fur from the Malamute side. His fur is a tinge shorter than you might think, with surprisingly dainty paws, but larger, pointy ears. His eyes are also a light, ghastly, but sometimes deeper green.
Background: Blair is from a long line of hunters in his family. Coming from Scotland, though his parents had been in the US when he was born, so he lacks more of the accent than other relatives. Any place he goes to, is most likely either for meeting family, or because he has something to ‘take care of’. His parents are mixed, his mother being British, and father being Scottish. So his accent is a mix, as well as slang from both sides. Most assume British though, as most of the family he tends to visit more often tend to be in Britain. The Scottish side of the family is the hunters, which.. Well, he tried to avoid them as much as possible.
Family: Cousin, Wulver Alasdair.
Romantic interests: Bisexual, and currently not interested in anyone.
Other: He’s a very domestic man at heart, loving comfy random things, and always longing for that domestic life. He has a bit of an obsession with fish, breeds, colors, all about them! He favors the classic ‘Goldfish’ though. He also has quite a lot of sleeping issues, and is more often than not seen staying up researching or just doing whatever. He’s a big fan of playing card games, without the betting preferably.
Other: Blair is quite subtly protective when it comes to his cousin/trainee. While he’s obviously not a parent of any kind, he still makes sure to keep an eye on Wulver like a wolf does their cub, ironically. Name: Wulver Alasdair
Description: Wulver is a more stocky, and muscled, but still decently lithe man. With similarly sun kissed skin to his cousin’s skin, if a bit tanner, more freckled, and less scarred. Wulver’s light brown hair is a mess on his head, normally hastily combed back and gelled to keep the unruly strands in place. With that whole issue, he normally styles a medium to short undercut. His eyes are also a more common, but still eye catching dark molasses like brown. He’s normally dressed in whatever he may so happen to have clean.. And not clean on occasion. He’ll wear jeans, he’ll wear slacks (mostly jeans), he’ll throw on a shirt, a jacket, shoes, mismatched socks, and he’s dandy.
Age: He’s twenty three and enjoying life!
What you are: Wulver is a hunter in training.
Personality: Wulver is mellow, but much more upbeat and ready to joke compared to Blair. WIth an active sense of humor, a cocky (if unconfident) smile. He’s pretty chill, if a bit rude on occasion. He’s got a pretty good moral compass on most standards, and is generally looking to, and even if not, to help out some. He’s not quite as reserved as Blair, but similar. He’s a bit of a confused, while also quiet blabber mouth, and with a tinge of dyslexia which can be a pain considering he’s an engineering student in college. But, as he would think most days, ‘Eh’. And Wulver is a loyal guy, but test those boundaries too much and you’ll lose any loyalty or trust you got from him.
He values loyalty above all else, even love. You don’t need to adore to be loyal, in his eyes anyhow. And while he’s more glad to get into the hunting business, always curious about his cousin’s reluctance, he’s not an idiot, cocky kid who thinks hunting monsters is a game. He takes it seriously, and his loyalty to his family just as much so.
Background: From a long line of hunters, Wulver’s another in line for learning the more in depth parts of hunting. Coming from Scotland, born and raised, and still beefing with US and all it’s odd differences. He has a rather heavy Scottish accent, and only came recently to the US. Most of his life spent in his home country of Scotland, but moved to America to be taught by his cousin about hunting. And to go to college.
Family: Cousin, Karsus ‘Blair’ Alasdair.
Romantic interests: None currently.
Other: He owns over twenty pairs of socks. Hello kitty, Star Wars, Transformers, Coca cola, all of 'em.

(Thank you Juno!
And that's definitely a good idea Lazz- I figure hunters, and those aware of shifters like your dear doctor man, would have connections. I'd definitely be down to have them interact and the such, and I'm super excited to see his character! For some reason, I'm getting purple guy vibes from FnaF for doctor man right now..)

(Yep! Trying to connect him more to the original life of Griffindale, since he's a local of English descent! I won't spoil too much (I say as I probably give more detail away than I should) but the doctor (Dammion) has a deceased brother, and he thinks he's haunting him somehow.
Dammion watching his brother get mauled: WAS THAT THE BITE OF '87?!?)

PFtt- I'm sorry, FnaF references make me cackle. And yeah! I gotcha, and being a bit of a local is gonna lead to some very entertaining backstory (and dear brother) I have some similar stuff with Blair, mostly in the sort of, past haunts him sorta way.
Dude's got issues, put simply. And the whole, barely sleeping thing does not help either!)

The wolf stepped back from the den entrance and looked back at the female with narrowed eyes. It still didn’t know what she wanted or why she led it here. Probably to keep at him over it. It gave its ear a quick scratch with its good leg. Humiliating.
When it was done, it gave the air a good sniff. Hoping to find something to hunt. The drive was there. The need. It suddenly tensed. A dangerous growl built up in its throat. That smell. It didn’t know why, but it knew that smell. An violence and animalistic anger overcame it.
A quiet and cool night, perfect for a stroll. His hands were cramping from typing and writing out resumes and applications, so a walk in the woods would do him good. He was just walking back to the motel when he heard it. Howling. Should probably pick up the pace then. He tried to walk faster. Walking turned into running. He could hear paws steps barreling towards him. Snarling and growling. Frothing at the mouth-
It thrusted its gray head in the direction its excellent hearing detected fighting. There you are. Letting out a snarl, the wolf scramble off back into the trees.

Real talk though, I'm really intrigued by your hunters Soot! It's probably time for me to actually contribute sooo I'm here to finally start something haha The twins will be pissed and Charlemagne is out for blood. On that "Let me show you all of the ways I can break the Hippocratic Oath" type beat~ I'm trying to work out in my head where everyone is in relation to each other...If Jack is leading Nola to the rogues, would that be wherever Bruno is? Or are there multiple attacks occurring at once? I wonder- ]

++ Charlemagne Cross-- The gentle light of the moon has been briefly swallowed up by clouds, casting the forest in deeper shades of gray. And yet Charlemagne has never perceived the world in clearer tones. He can smell the very dew that speckles the ferns clumped at the base of a tree yards away. The rapid heartbeats of rabbits and squirrels alike are revealed to him by merely angling his ears. He need not turn his head to follow the movement of small creatures scurrying in the brush as he can track their movements in his greater peripheral vision. What little light remains is reflected in hazel eyes, making his circuitous path clear to him. Charlemagne may not relish this form, but he does not always hate the benefits. While he may possess supernatural senses as a human, they don't feel quite right until he accepts them on the full moon. Enough time has passed that he is no longer awkward in this four-legged body, trotting through the underbrush with an idle swish of his silvery tail. Charlemagne has traced this path already but has yet to grow tired of it.
The night is calm, if not still- there are far off sounds of successful hunts and the bays or howls of packmembers socializing- and he has yet to be called on to attend any mishaps. It settles his mind to remain in motion and occupy it with more than the idle whims of an animal. There are moments where his body tenses with the desire to spring on prey that strays too close- but he shakes off the restless energy every time and merely keeps to his route. Charlemagne catalogues all of the changes within the Primal Bloods' stretch of forest as he travels from one regularly frequented 'landmark' to another, listening to the celebration and interactions of his fellow packmates but never nearing enough to take part.
He is noting the wildflowers that have overtaken last season's barren ravine when the scent of copper on the wind brings all of his thoughts to an abrupt halt. Charlemagne pauses, turning his head sharply to the left and inhaling deeply in order to more accurately sort out the scents of unfamiliar shifters, more blood than one should ever have to lose, and...'Bruno!'

Noticing the pup was still shaking, Javalle attempted to give her a bit of distance to show that he wasn't a threat. At least they were able to force some sort of noise out, but the lynx didn't think that whimper sounded very reassuring. He tipped his head to the side, and after a moment's thought he scaled back up the elm tree again. Perhaps this stranger would be willing to open up after a quick meal. He would have to be quick about it though, in case the canine still had enough energy to make a daring escape. There! Glancing upwards, he spotted the squirrel carcass they abandoned on his perch. After a couple of bounds, they made it over and scooped his catch in their jaws. Guess an unfinished meal would have to settle for now; he didn't think he would have time to catch another one. Even if he did, he didn't like taking any more prey than he needed. He made it back to the ground once more, and laid the prey besides the wolf's muzzle. He hoped it didn't carry too much of his scent. Afterwards, he took a couple of paces back and gave a higher pitched, more inviting trill. It's alright. I'm not gonna getcha, I just want to make sure you're safe.Maria watched as the lynx climbed up the tree. Okay, so at least this helped show that the cat wasn't going to carve her up link a turkey, but now she was alone in a dark scary forest. Oh come on this was not fair, she just keeps going from one scary situation to another. With a whimper she just curled up into a tighter ball and waited for the next scary thing to happen. Who knows maybe the next thing to come and freak her out would be a massive grizzly bear that wanted her to be its midnight snack. However, suddenly a mixture squirrel, the lynx, and rotting meat hit her nose. Slowly she raised her head nd looked at a half eaten squirrel body. Okay, kinda morbid but not the worst thing to happen today. Her ear twitched as she heard the lynx let out a higher pitched, seemingly friendly, trill. Was this supposed to be a piece offering or something? Well at least his was better than her being its meal she guessed. With a bit of hesitation she started to eat the remains, only slightly feeling dirty from eating an uncooked corpse. She might have been a wolf but she still had some self standards.

.’ - Nola Levington - ‘. Nola’s somewhat relaxed state switched within moments as the other shifter let out a sharp growl, her ears tilting with the sound. One moment he was begrudgingly settled, the next he was growling. She still kept a keen, and ready to run gaze on him, so she was quick to get to her paws. She still winced at the injuries he’d given her, but is, again, quick to ignore the tangy scent of the iron of her own blood. Dark brown tipped ears tilt, perking up sharply, getting up, and lifting her nose slightly, getting a good memorization of his scent in case he manages to get too far ahead of her. Thankfully she still has eyes on him, so she doesn’t waste it, bolting after him. That’s when she hears it. She’d been a tad busy trying to make sure this shifter didn’t run off, she didn’t hear, nor smell the suddenly overwhelming scent of blood. Not her own though. The.. oh. The Primal Bloods pack- and.. no. The rogue shifters. She remembers that scent, that exact scent. It makes her speed up, a quiet growl rising at the back of her throat. Nola’s paws beat against the dewy, dirt ground, hazel eyes narrow, pupils small and pinpointed. She’s nearly flying, running alongside the other shifter. She just hopes her jaws and claws can be as fast to act.

Delvin stops to sniff the air smelling something familiar yet unfamiliar. He and other members of their pack watch on as several large bodies suddenly appear on the hill in front of them. A large gray, brown and white looking werewolf and a red and white werefox appear in front of the group. "Hello there Delvin." The werewolf answered.
Delvin pins his ears back and lets out a low growl. "Lincoln! What is the meaning of this? You know the Crimson Bloods aren't aloud on our lands!" Lincoln chuckled which caused a few of the others to laugh as well. "You won't be bullying us anymore! We have an army now and we will drive you from these lands! Crimson Bloods attack!" He lunges forward racing straight towards Delvin. The others quickly follow right behind him.
Standing his ground, Delvin snarls and rushes at Lincoln. The others who were nearby follow their alphas lead while a few leave to get some help. What Delvin didn't know was different members of the Crimson Bloods were going after the other members of the pack who were out in the woods.
Leon and Lexa were ambushed by a few shifters and were fighting back to back while Michael did battle with a were-panther.
Roger and Darcy end up meeting face to face with a werewolf. Darcy tells Roger to keep trying to find Jack while she held off the werewolf.

Javalle still stood back while the adolescent pup was eating and opened his jaws to take in the atmosphere. He took brief note at the wolf's hesitation of eating what's essentially his leftovers. He felt a mild sense of empathy; naturally she was still getting used to being in another form for being so young and her stomach hasn't fully accustomed a taste for prey. Luckily she took his offer and was gulping it down nonetheless.
He went back to distinguishing the scents hanging around in the air. Prey, of course, and the tang of... blood? That's odd. He thought he'd got the remains of the squirrel off his muzzle. Javalle gave his lips a thorough lick, still not being able to pinpoint that iron tang at the back of his throat. Somewhere under all those layers was he able to track the scent of wolf deep in the forest. If he made it there with the pup, he would be able to return her to a pack that could properly take care of her. Or so he hoped.
The lynx made up his mind. He would travel onto unfamiliar boundaries to return this pup, then head home. Alone. With a frightened pup. In the unfamiliar forest. He gave a good stretch before walking up and giving the wolf a gentle prod with his paw, a gesture for her to get up. A flick of his ears suggested that she should follow; he just pleaded there was some instinctual trust in there for her to listen. I'm just as nervous as you are, but I need to get you home. Please understand.
