[color=ed1c24][u][b]The Haka Pack[/b][/u][/color]

[i]The Haka Pack is a small band of closely-bonded and magically-influenced Lycans indigenous to the last remaining dense jungles of Japan. Including only about 1,000 members, the Haka Pack is rather rare and has only been studied a handful of times during its existence. In the grand scheme of things, they are practically unknown to only a few scholars. To identify that one is of Haka Pack Lycan descent, most if not all of the following indicators can be used;[/i]

[b][i]Bright, red angular markings along the body.[/i][/b]
[b][i]Pale White Skin.[/i][/b]
[b][i]Turquoise, amber, or light yellow eyes.[/i][/b]
[b][i]A female name starting with the prefix "Haka-", or a male name starting with the prefix "Hakun-"[/i][/b]

[i]Hakas are known to be extremely traditional to the old ways of their primitive society, especially including the topics of marriage and social hierarchy. Sometimes, young Lycans are forced into a marriage ceremony at an age as early as 14 in order to 'preserve the strength of the pack'. As well, strong male Lycans are almost always the most respected and sought-after individuals in the pack, creating the governing body that controls the Hakas.

[hider=Character Insight]
[i]Thus, Haka-Mesuka was thrown out of her tribe for just that; disregarding the strict traditions of the Hakas. She had become disgusted with her assigned husband, having learned more about him than their first romantic endeavors would have lead her on to believe. Haka-Mesuka protested for a breaking of their sacred union; something that is extremely rare in the secluded and strict realm of the Haka Pack. But, the law was the law; Mesuka was property of her male. Thus, Haka-Mesuka painfully exiled herself from the Haka Pack, seeing their verdicts something she could not withstand, especially when it concerned living with that [u]thing[/u] forever. Nobody but Mesuka knows how she found herself at Silverspell University, and nobody may ever. The important thing is that she is there to stay and learn of a new society.[/i]

[i]Yet, one of the most defining features of the Hakas is their unique Lycan transformation; that form being the body of a gigantic white wolf. Around ~9 feet long by ~5 feet high and weighing ~400 pounds, the [i]"Haka Wolves"[/i] are self-contained bodies of pure muscle and ferocity. Beasts that truly show the Hakas' ancient strength.[/i]

[b][u][color=ed1c24]In-Depth Appearance:[/color][/u][/b] [i][b]Human:[/b][/i] [i]Haka-Mesuka is a rather tall and lean female Lycan, coming in at around 5' 11". Her round face frames a pair of giant turquoise eyes, and she can usually be seen sporting a gracious amount of primitive jewelry. Three sharp, angular red markings cover her pale skin around said eyes; ceremonial tattoos of the Hakas. Her bright red "hunting marks" continue down her neck, back, and finally end at her ankles. All of her markings are some variation of sharp, red, angular spikes. Any variation of white furs usually finish off Mesuka's outfit; a white fur shawl, scarf, cape, coat, you name it. The girl loves her furs, and all-white is a Haka tradition.[/i]

[i][b]Wolf:[/b][/i] [i]In her wolf form, Mesuka is curiously devoid of any markings whatsoever. Instead, her pure white coat is completely unblemished. She is 8' 2" long by 5' 1" tall, 445 pounds, and sports a maw of razor sharp teeth. Her eyes still portray a stunning turquoise blue; one of the only indications of her humanity in this form.
[/i]

[b][u][color=ed1c24]Brief Personality:[/color][/u][/b] [i]Mesuka is as cunning as a wolf and as brave as a man. Strong in both physicality and mental fortitude, the Haka-born picks her friends wisely and her enemies swiftly. Though she is wary of males due to her past experience, any show of genuine chivalry and etiquette will quickly win her favor. She is a rock, and stands by her beliefs indefinitely, even if they are merely ancient traditions. However, Mesuka can be extremely brash and unwilling to change at times. She does not shy away from violence in the least, and can sometimes find herself in a sticky situation when she does not understand why others may oppose her philosophies and actions. Otherwise, this fierce Lycan can quickly become a loyal friend and companion, capable of pulling through thick and thin. She just fights a little too bloody for a civilized world.[/i]

[hider=Character Thoughts]
[b]Ivy Riverstone:[/b] [color=ed1c24][i]"A hard nut to crack, but she is so caring once you do warm up to her. I adore her givingness and thankful attitude; she appreciates much more than I or others may at first."[/i][/color]

[b]Varos Sulan:[/b] [color=ed1c24][i]"Ambitious and naive. What a wonderful example of unfettered youth; Fun in its purest form. I wish I had more gold Haka jewelry to show him."[/i][/color]

[b]Ethra:[/b] [color=ed1c24][i]"Indifference is a fruitless tree. I wish she had more conviction; she is the most likely to succeed, however. She will pass us by quickly in the long run."[/i][/color]

[b]Katarina Elza:[/b] [i][color=ed1c24]"Incredible power and confidence. I admire the demon; her personality and self is almost invincible. What I would give to have her as a sister."[/color][/i]

[b]Raven Magnus:[/b] [color=ed1c24][i]"A jack of all trades but a master of none, I say. But, goodness, is he the most fun. If only he could stand his ground a little better. However, I enjoy his company; he's too much of a 'fluff' to worry me with his mischief."[/i][/color]

[b]Mortem:[/b] [i][color=ed1c24]"He is an old type of vengeance, old chivalry. I like his drive from beyond the grave. If you go the one extra mile, he will go the second."[/color][/i]

[b]Griffin:[/b] [color=ed1c24][i]"There is great talent and heart in this man, but in exchange; no willpower. I do not trust him much, but I appreciate his presence. Though, I have a nagging suspicion something else is not right under the surface..."[/i][/color]

[b]Om:[/b] [color=ed1c24][i]"What a sweethearted giant. Truly, that kind of compassion and caring-nature is nearly extinct today. Handsome, strong, and a beautiful man. I just hope no one takes advantage of his kindness."[/i][/color]

[b]Lola Dague:[/b] [color=ed1c24][i]"A fortress of needles. She fights with words and is a defensive construct. I wish her well, for there is obviously some sadness behind all of her protection. If only she'd get a little more help. I would be more than willing, but..."

She also gazes at me funny sometimes, but that is a whole other story."[/i][/color]

[b]Ash Jens:[/b] [i][color=ed1c24]"I am skeptical of all unnaturally attractive men; I think it a devious trap. But goodness, it is hard to disdain a man so great and full of perk. I should take a chance to try his food, too; people have been saying it's great."[/color][/i]

[b]Leonard Brand:[/b] [color=ed1c24][i]"He seems almost brutal, at times. I am uncomfortable around him. However, he speaks the truth completely and without twist; that I can admire."[/i][/color]
