Abilities
Super Strength: Werewolves possess supernatural strength that makes them far stronger thanimmortals, Supernatural Hunters and humans. However, werewolves in their human form are not as strong as a vampire, and have even been shown to be far weaker on several occasions. But they've also shown to be strong enough to at least defend themselves.
Being an original werewolf, Iggy has a strength that enables him to be stronger then his breathern, and indeed most vampires aside from the originals.
Super Speed: Werewolves are much faster than immortals, supernatural hunters and humans. They possess this ability both in and out of transformation with an animalistic quickness. However, the power is faster at night than in the day, due to the moon's presence, and their speed increases greatly when the werewolf is transformed during the full moon.
Iggy is far faster then normal werwolves, and by far faster then vampires, able to move at increasing speeds, he doesn't seem to need the moon to power this ability.
Super Agility: Werewolves possess superhuman agility. Either in wolf or even in human form, they have demonstrated that they can move, jump very high, climb, flip, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion. They can also jump down from incredible heights with almost gravity-defying grace.
Super Durability: Werewolves can take far more trauma than humans without nearly as much discomfort or injury, however, not as much as vampires. They can also exert themselves for longer periods without tiring.
Healing Factor: Werewolves possess superhuman regenerative abilities, meaning that if they are physically injured, their bodies will heal rapidly. Like vampires, werewolves can heal from the most grievous of injuries, even in human form, albeit more slowly in comparison to vampires. However, unlike vampires, when a werewolf’s neck is broken, they stay dead.
Super Senses: Werewolves have the extremely keen and heightened senses of smell, sight, taste, hearing and touch inherent in all canines. Because they are supernatural and have powers that exceeds their wolf counterparts, they can hear, see, and smell better than that of regular canines.
Lycanthrope Enhancement: Werewolves are able to make their eyes glow when angry or threatened, but only for a short amount of time. When a werewolf is furious or forced to defend themselves, their anger increases all their power and abilities for a short period of time, which allows them to access some of the power of their wolf form to give them an edge.
Shapeshifting/Transformation Control: During a full moon, they will unwillingly transform from their human form and into their wolf form. However, if a female werewolf is pregnant, they will not turn for nine months as the transformation would kill the baby.
Werewolf Bite: A werewolf's venom is extremely lethal to non-original vampires. While an Original vampire cannot die from the venom, they are not wholly immune to the effects of the bite. For non-Original vampires, the venom acts as an poison of sorts that will enter the bloodstream and deliver the toxin throughout the body, producing discomfort and weakness. All vampires who are bitten will ultimately develop uncontrollable hunger that progresses to delusions, hallucinations, rabid rage, and dementia. After that point, non-original vampires will finally die, though many are "mercy-killed" before that point.
Full Moon: A werewolf's strength, speed, agility, and all their powers are enhanced to their peak during a full moon
Biography:
Ignatius doesn't like to talk about his history, before he was created. However, he was always the smallest, the weakest, the...one most forgotten. He was quite young when he was changed, and as such he continued to grow and age, until he reached about twenty five.
He roamed for a time by himself, before he began to create packs, here and there, leaving behind a legacy. Some of his wolves were blessed with immortality, but not all. And thus, his pack grew.
throughout the years, Ignatius has studied many different languages, cultures, degrees, before finally settling on being a cook-there was just soemthing about it to Ignatius that attracted him.
He has only just made his way to carson city.

Clifford
~General information~
~General information~
Name: Clifford Normon
Age: looks around 19
Gender: Male
Place of Origin:Nevada
Species: Orginal Werewolf
Appearance:
Clifford looks very much like a 19 year old teenager. He stands at 5 foot 9 and while he isn't the most muscular he is well toned. Amber orbs peer from red hair and freckles dot his face. He tends to wear a red hoodie, a t shirt with some form of image on it, blue jeans, and classic converse.
His wolf form is a very large (talking tall enough to be chest height to some people) strikingly red wolf. The fur being as red as that of a fox with light fur around the eyes. As if his freckles merged and became eye circles.
~Relationship Information~
Relationship Status: single
Sexuality: bi sexual
Partner: none
Pet/s: none
Other: he is not fond of cats
~Personal Information~
Personality: Clifford is rather prickly. Though who wouldn't be being his name is Clifford and his wolf form is a red wolf. A tad irritating no. Even though is he far older then teenage years now he still acts like a teenager a lot. (More to be shown in IC)
Skills:
-parkour
-daggers
-throwing knives
-being underestimated
Biography:
Clifford does not remember or at least acts like he doesn't remember being turned into one of the first werewolves. It is as if he has locked those memories away and refuses to acknowledge them. It must have been painful because sometimes he gets a far away look and seems to momentarily remember.
Clifford was raised by a busy family. Busy to where he was often left to his own devices. That is how the witches were able to get him and turn him.
Now he has to at least come up with a good story as to why he is by himself. For while he looks 19 to some to others he looks even younger. This is very annoying and makes life hard on him.

Caius Aluredes
~General information~
Name: Caius Aluredes
Age: Appears to be 24
Gender: Male
Place of Origin: Rome, Italy
Species: Original Werewolf
Appearance:
Caius stands 6'2" tall and weighs 190 lbs. He may look serious most times but his smile is infectious. Despite looking like some sort of model, he rarely wear flashy clothes and can almost always be seen wearing a plain shirt, a pair of jeans and sneakers.
~Relationship Information~
Relationship Status: Imprinted
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Partner: Callie Lenson
Pet/s: None
Other: He is Claudia Aluredes' twin brother and is younger than her by a few minutes.
~Personal Information~
Personality:
While werewolves are known to be quick to anger, Caius is remarkably calm and patient both in wolf and in human form. He does, however, exhibit a very explosive anger when provoked. And when angered, he is quick, decisive and extremely brutal. He is very protective of his twin sister, Claudia, and his mate, Callie Lenson, and would go to all lengths to protect them.
While vampires are a natural enemy, he sees this rule with a grain of salt. As long as they do not harm him and those he consider as friend or family, then he leaves them alone.
Skills/Abilities:
Abilities copied from supernatural archive with some alterations by yours truly
Superhuman Speed: One of the greatest strengths of a werewolf is its speed. Caius is able to travel long distances before tiring and have been reported to travel at speeds of around 60 miles per hour (around 95 kilometers per hour).
Superhuman Reflexes: Werewolves have incredibly fast reflexes. Caius is able to notice the tiny signs that the body gives off before it strikes or moves, similar to how a boxer will train for years to be able to read their opponent by watching for slight muscle twitches.
Superhuman Durability: Werewolves have very thick hides. Combined with their hardened and dense muscles this makes them very hard to damage. Non-armor piercing bullets generally go no more than an inch into them. Trying to stab them isn’t quite as hard as stabbing a wooden wall, but it’s close.
Superhuman Strength: When a human turns into a werewolf their muscles harden and elongate. Their tendons get shorter and tighten which allows for short powerful strikes.
Superhuman Senses: A werewolf’s senses are one of its greatest assets. Hearing, sight, smell, and taste are all enhanced. The sense of smell is more than 100 times stronger than a human’s and they can catch scents up to five miles away. They are able to hear many more frequencies and with greater depth than any other beings. The werewolf’s sense of sight is also enhanced especially at night.
Teeth: When a human changes into a werewolf their teeth will lengthen, sharpen, and harden. These hardened teeth combined with the werewolves enhanced strength allow them to bite through most materials including wood, bone, and most metals.
Senseshifting: Some werewolves have access to their heightened senses while in human form, either naturally or through a process called ‘sense shifting.’ This process takes practice to master but they essentially learn to shift only the nose, eyes or ears.
Enhanced Healing: Werewolves heal much faster than humans. This is mainly due to a much faster heart rate and blood flow which causes most bodily activities to happen faster. There is a lesser-known benefit to this. The increased blood flow combined with the overall increased strength of the werewolf body enables it to cure and prevent most chronic illnesses.
Immortality: Typical werewolves can live between 130 and 200 (or more) years depending on the type of werewolf. Caius, being an Original, has lived for over a thousand years without aging. While he still believes that he will eventually pass away someday, he is immortal.
Being an original, all abilities are enhanced a thousand fold compared to the younger werewolves. But while Caius is immortal, he is not immune to injuries.
Weaknesses:
Silver: The idea that werewolves are weak to silver has never really been substantiated. The idea of a werewolf's weakness to silver comes from the ancient belief that silver was related to the moon and the moon goddess Luna. And since the moon holds power over werewolves then so must silver.
Beheading: Self explanatory.
Biography:
Orphaned at a young age, he and his twin sister were cared for by wild wolves in the forests of Rome. They were later adopted by a human family. Nobody knew how he survived with his sister in the woods and no one was really willing to believe that they were raised by wild animals. Contrary to his supposed upbringing, as a child, he was silent and thoughtful and often said things that were wise for his age. A close friend of the family once remarked that Caius had a very, very old soul when she looked deep into his eyes.
His first transformation happened on the full moon of his 13th birthday. Somehow sensing it before it happened, he had taken his sister deep into the forest where both of them underwent their painful transformation from human to wolf. Not being able to control his feral instincts and blinded by pain, he howled at the moon and attacked the smaller creatures that hid in the shadows. But as soon as he saw his sister, he calmed down and was able to help her with her own transformation. It had been an odd experience to be able to hear each other's thoughts but it was something he thought convenient. The raw power ushered in by the full moon was overwhelming at first but it didn't take long for him to have it under control.
As the moon receded into the horizon, the twins transformed back into their human forms. But because of the fear of putting their adoptive family in danger, both decided it best to leave and seek out those similar to them, if they existed.
The twins met with different wolf packs during their travels but never ran with any of them, preferring to run only with each other. They traveled from one country to the next, never staying in the same place for too long. It was advantageous that they never really needed to worry about keeping up appearances and explaining why they didn't seem to age. But because of that, both didn't have a chance to form lasting relationships. It didn't seem to bother them until Caius met Callie Lenson and imprinted on her. Because of that, he eventually decided to settle down wherever she was. Right now, it was Carson City.

Orphaned at a young age, he and his twin sister were cared for by wild wolves in the forests of Rome. They were later adopted by a human family. Nobody knew how she survived with her brother in the woods and no one was really willing to believe that they were raised by wild animals. As a child, she was always high strung and active, often frustrating her adoptive parents. Nevertheless, her parents adored her and her twin brother and they pampered them thoroughly. While the family's old friend knew of her excitable moods and childish ways, she saw an old soul in her the way she saw it in Caius' eyes.
Her first transformation was on the full moon of her 13th birthday. She sensed something big was about to happen but before she could try to make sense of it, Caius had already dragged her off into the forest without their parents' knowledge. There she transformed into a wolf and the experience had been excruciatingly painful. The pain had not yet abated and because of it, she attacked Caius. Not realizing it was her brother, she fought him until she heard his voice echo in her head. The experience exhilarated her and she couldn't stop yapping away until Caius eventually shushed her. At first, she struggled to control the raw power ushered in by the moon but with Caius' calm voice in her head, she was able to bring her new form under control.
As the moon receded into the horizon, the twins transformed back into their human forms. She didn't want to leave their family behind but agreed with her brother that they might end up hurting the humans. She grudgingly embarked on a journey to find those similar to them. The twins met with different wolf packs during their travels but never ran with any of them, preferring to run only with each other.
They traveled from one country to the next, never staying in the same place for too long. It was advantageous that they never really needed to worry about keeping up appearances and explaining why they didn't seem to age. But because of that, both didn't have a chance to form lasting relationships. Up to the present, Claudia has not yet imprinted but decided to stay in Carson City with Caius and Callie. For now.

Extremely resourceful, and able to think not only on the go, but also able to think “outside of the box”; the especially handy woman is seen by all those who know her as a force to be reckoned with- her keen, sharp and driven mind helping greatly when it comes to not only dealing with a large bunch of teenagers on a daily basis, but also when having to deal with the pain and suffering that come from her illness.
Though most times seen as extremely loud, however always dependable when it come to handling a job or obstacle presented to her; the both knowledgeable and rather tough woman is not only very quick of wit, but is also high tempered- never once allowing those who believe themselves to be better than her to walk all over, and or try to control her in any way, shape or form.

Having been diagnosed with leukemia three years prior, Zoé quickly learnt that she needed to become a fighter in all senses of the word; using this natural survival skill in order to live, and to overcome everything that life had to throw her way, including having been told by doctors that she only has just a few years left to live- the woman herself believing that even in the toughest of situations, there was always a bigger force that had a plan for both her, and those she cared about.
Filled with a faith, and a belief of a higher power watching over her; Zoé is an exceptionally religious person- the woman once oftentimes seen wearing her favorite cross which was given to her in her younger years which now hang via the rear view mirror of her car, or holding onto the rosary beads that were given to her when she first made the choice to move to Carson City. Seen to be intensely loyal to the ones that she both loves and cares for most in the world; Zoé is highly family oriented, and extremely sentimental- oftentimes going above and beyond the duty of a normal person by working her hardest to provide them with a life better than she has had herself- immensely protective over her family and those she cares about, Zoé tends to take any threat of danger towards them with a severity like no other; the woman willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that they are safe, well looked after, and that they have everything in life that they could ever possibly need.

Brief Biography:
To be written.
Her Leukemia:
Leukemia is a type of malignancy (cancer) of blood cell; in luekemia, abnormal blood cells are produced within the bone marrow- the cells that are responsible for fighting off infection- however, the abnormal cells within leukemia don’t function in the same way as normal white blood cells. The leukemia cells continue to both grow and divide, eventually crowding out the normal blood cells, and more times than none the end result is that it becomes too difficult for the body to continue fighting off infections, to control bleeding, and to transport oxygen to where it is most needed.
There are different types of leukemia, each based upon how quickly the disease develops over the course of time, and the type of abnormal cells produced.
The exact cause of leukemia is not known, however, it is thought to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Leukemia cells have acquired mutations in their DNA that cause them to grow abnormally, and to lose functions of typical white blood cells; though it is not clear what causes these mutations to occur. One type of change in the cells DNA that is common in leukemias is known as a chromosome translocation. In this process, a portion of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to a different chromosome. One translocation seen in almost all cases of CML, and sometimes in other types of leukemia is an exchange of DNA between chromosomes ‘nine’ and ‘twenty-two’, which leads to what is known as the Philadelphia chromosome. This creates an oncongene (cancer-promoting gene) known as BCR-ABL; this change in DNA is not inherited, but occurs sometime in the life of the affected individual.
Most cases of leukemia are not believed to be hereditary, however certain genetic mutations and conditions can be passed along to offspring that increase the chances of developing leukemia. A condition known as Li-Fraumeni syndrome is characterized by an inherited mutation in a tumor suppressor gene known as TP53, and individuals with this condition have an increased risk of leukemia and other cancers. Other hereditary conditions that can increase the risk of developing leukemia include down syndrome, neurofibromatosis type one, ataxia telangiectasia, and Noonan syndrome.
Signs and Symptoms of Leukemia:
Symptoms and signs of leukemia depend upon the type of leukemia; slow-growing or chronic leukemia may not cause any symptoms at the outset, while aggressive or rapidly growing leukemia may lead to severe symptoms. The symptoms of leukemia arise from a loss of function of the normal blood cells or accumulation of te abnormal cells in the body.
Signs and symptoms of leukemia typically include the following:
⚜ Fevers.
⚜ Night Sweats.
⚜ Swollen lymph nodes that are usually painless.
⚜ Feelings of fatigue, tiredness.
⚜ Easy bleeding or bruising, causing bluish or purplish patches on the skin or tiny red spots on the skin, or recurring nosebleeds.
⚜ Frequent infections.
⚜ Bone or joint pain.
⚜ Weight loss that is otherwise unexplained, or loss of appetite.
⚜ Enlargement of the spleen or liver, which can lead to abdominal pain or swelling.
⚜ Red spots on the skin (petechiae).
However, if leukemia cells have infiltrated the brain, symptoms such as headaches, seizures, confusion, loss of muscle control, and vomiting can also occur.
Treatment for Leukemia:
There are a number of different medical approaches to the treatment of leukemia. Treatment will typically depend upon the type of leukemia, the patient's age and health status, as well as whether or not the leukemia cells have spread to the cerebrospinal fluid. The genetic changes or specific characteristics of the leukemia cells as determined in the laboratory can also determine the type of treatment that may be most appropriate.
Watchful waiting may be an option for some people with a chronic leukemia who do not have symptoms. This involves close monitoring of the disease so that treatment can begin when symptoms develop. Watchful waiting allows the patient to avoid or postpone the side effects of treatment. The risk of waiting is that it may eliminate the possibility of controlling the leukemia before it worsens.
Treatments for leukemia include chemotherapy (major treatment modality for leukemia), radiation therapy, biological therapy, targeted therapy, and stem cell transplant. Combinations of these treatments may be used.
Many patients opt to receive a second opinion before beginning treatment for leukemia. In most cases, there is time to receive a second opinion and consider treatment options without making the treatment less effective. However, in rare cases of very aggressive leukemias, treatment must begin immediately. Someone should discuss with a doctor the possibility of obtaining a second opinion and any potential delays in treatment. Most doctors welcome the possibility of a second opinion and will not be offended by a patient's wish to obtain one.
Treatment and Survival Rate for Leukemia:
Treatment may involve some combination of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and bone marrow transplant, in addition to supportive care and palliative care as needed. Certain types of leukemia may be managed with watchful waiting. The success of treatment depends on the type of leukemia and the age of the person. Outcomes have improved in the developed world. The average five-year survival rate is 57% in the United States.
Original Werewolf Abilities: As a human, Zoé has no powers.
Other: Raised to be a rather religious person by her mother’s side of the family after being born into the world; Zoé owns two beautiful crosses that were passed down to her from them, when they felt that the time was right- the first a beautiful though simple cross, which she hanging by the rear view mirror in her car.

Theme Song:
"See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa (ft. Charlie Puth).
Lyrics:
It's been a long day, without you, my friend...
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again...
We've come a long way, from where we began;
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again...
When I see you again...
Dang, who knew..?
All the planes we flew-
Good things we've been through,
That I'll be standing right here, talking to you
'Bout another path.
I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up-
Look at things different; see the bigger picture.
Those were the days;
Hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place (see you in a better place).
Uh-
How can we not talk about family, when family's all that we go..t?
Everything I went through, you were standing there by my side;
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride.
It's been a long day, without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again...
We've come a long way, from where we began;
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again...
When I see you again...

Species Evolved Werewolf
Appearance
Giddeon is still very young and doesn't quite know how to be a strong Werewolf just yet, but everyday he is learning but still has a fun time doing it. His Werewolf form isn't very big, only slightly larger than a normal wolf, but what he lacks in size he gains in speed and agility.
~Relationship Information~
Relationship Status: Single
Sexuality: Straight
Partner: None - Has never had a girlfriend.
Pet/s: A three year old pet beagle he has named Cooper.
Other: Giddeon has a very large, extensive family that is very close. He has five cousins that go to school with him, at the very least.
~Personal Information~
Personality:
Giddeon is one of those people that most (if not all) human girls in his school would consider immediately friend-zoned. He has that natural "big brother" aura about him that, while it makes him popular, has also kept him single for his entire life. He is full of smiles and optimism, going by the outlook that every day is precious and should be lived fully and without regrets.
Being raised a Werewolf (an Evolved Werewolf, as it were), Giddeon was taught to be weary of other races however his heart is too big and too trusting to start putting labels on people. He is a firm believer that a person is defined by their heart, and not by the magic they hold or the blood they have running through their veins or the lineage they come from. When his natural alert senses don't kick in, he is one to give everyone a chance until they prove to him first-hand that they can not be trusted.
On that note, Giddeon also believes that no one race or individual is any better than another. Original vampires, common werewolves, druids... they are all the same, because they are all living, breathing people (in a sense. Vampires aren't exactly living.)
He is the first person to jump into a situation if a friend or loved one is in need and becomes incredibly protective of those he has formed natural bonds with. He's an overall goofy kind of guy that just wants to have fun, create bonds, and maybe... just maybe... get all the species to peacefully coexist with each other again.
Abilities:
Giddeon was born a werewolf and quickly became an Evolved Werewolf just a few years later when his parents (and himself) were included in a ritual between their alpha and another, granting them both abilities and territory of the married alphas.
Evolved Werewolves have full control of their abilities which includes transformation control, which means they now can control their transformation into wolf forms at all times (including not turning on the full moon and partially transforming their eyes, claws and fangs during a fight). This also means that they can access the full potential of their wolf form, making them stronger, faster, and generally superior to average werewolves who are limited by their once monthly transformations.
Giddeon, who processes these abilities, doesn't necessarily know how to use them quite yet.
Super Strength: Evolved Werewolves are stronger than regular werewolves and humans. Like regular werewolves, the full moon will boost their strength and so will intense feelings of anger. An Evolved Werewolf in wolf-form will be immensely powerful and may be a slight challenge for even an Original vampire, as four normal werewolves in wolf-form can temporarily take down an Original vampire.
Super Speed: An Evolved Werewolf's intensified quickness, agility, reflexes, and endurance makes them faster than any regular werewolves and humans. Evolved Werewolves can use this ability in both their human or werewolf forms. The full moon will increase their speed and being in wolf-form will make them even faster.
Super Agility: Evolved Werewolves possess superhuman agility. They can move, jump, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion.
Super Durability: Evolved Werewolves can take far more trauma than humans and non-original vampires can without nearly as much discomfort or injury. They can also exert themselves for longer periods without tiring.
Healing Factor: Evolved Werewolves possess superhuman regenerative abilities, meaning that if they are physically injured, their bodies will heal rapidly. Like non-original vampires, Evolved Werewolves can heal from the most grievous of injuries, even in human form, a bit more slowly in comparison to non-original vampires. However, unlike vampires, when an Evolved Werewolf's neck is broken, they stay dead.
Super Senses: Evolved Werewolves have the extremely keen and heightened senses of smell, sight, taste, hearing and touch inherent in all canines. Because they are supernatural and have powers that excel their wolf counterparts, they can hear, see, and smell better than that of regular canines.
Lycanthrope Enhancement: Evolved Werewolves are capable of using their werewolf features to further supplement their powers. Both evolved werewolves and non-original werewolf-vampire hybrids can grow claws from their fingernails and werewolf fangs from their teeth even when they are still in their human forms. Their eyes also change into those of their werewolf form, presumably granting them better eyesight. Giddeon has an extremely hard time controlling this.
Shapeshifting/Transformation Control: Evolved Werewolves have the ability to transform into their werewolf forms at will. Most of them avoid transforming at all due to the pain it causes. They can also perform partial transformations, manifesting single features of their werewolf forms. An evolved werewolf can stay in werewolf form longer than a normal werewolf, who is limited to the peak hours of the full moon unless they have magical assistance, such as from a moonlight ring. Giddeon is one of those werewolves who refrains from changing as much as he can, save for their family "outings."
Werewolf Venom: Evolved Werewolves and regular werewolves have venom which is fatal to non-original vampires if it is introduced into their system. This is usually accomplished by the werewolf biting a vampire, but it has been demonstrated that werewolf venom can be extracted and used in darts and bullets or laced in drinks.
Full Moon: An Evolved Werewolf's strength, speed, agility, and all their powers are evolved and at their peak during a full moon.
Immunity to silver: Evolved Werewolves are immune to magic bonded to silver. Weapons made of silver might wound them, but the wound still heals at supernatural rates and will not be fatal to them.
Skills: Though gifted with an assortment of abilities by his alphas, Giddeon has also developed skills of his own as he has aged into near adult-hood.
Outdoors man Having spent a great majority of his life outdoors, Giddeon is very proficient when it comes to the knowledge needed to survive it. Enjoying camping, fishing, hiking and boating, Giddeon has learned a large assortment of skills of everything one should know about survival if he ever got injured and/or lost, like how to make or find a capable shelter, safe food and water to eat and drink, a compass out of practically nothing, a fire and so on; an exceptional hands-on kind of guy.
Tracking On a related note, Giddeon also possesses the skill of blending in, both metaphorically and literally. While hunting (animals - never other people), Giddeon has mastered the art of stealth to stalk his prey and claim his prize. A lot of this hunting is done out of wolf form and hunts like any normal teenage boy would, save for his enhanced senses. There are times, however, on his family "outings" when the pack likes to hunt together or each other for fun and to sharpen their canine skills. Giddeon's keen sense of direction and paying attention to the smallest of details has always led him to what he needed to find - whether it be game or a person not wishing to be found. This skill comes in handy when one of his younger family members has run off because of some emotional drama.
Swimming Having grown up in Lake Tahoe, Giddeon was exposed to all sorts of water sports that kept him entertained during the summers for hours on end. He learned how to windsurf, canoe, water ski and board, tubing, snorkel and just plain old swimming. Though since moving to Carson City, he hasn't had much opportunity to play in the water as he used to.
Biography:
Giddeon was born in Lake Tahoe, Zepher Cove, Nevada to a fairly small Werewolf pack. His parents weren't exactly alpha material, though were in high standing with the alpha, and participated heavily in his wedding to another packs alpha, thus merging the two packs and making them Evolved Werewolves. Giddeon was too young to be aware or even remember this shift in abilities given to him, but it made learning them all slow-going and to this day still has troubles with the most simplest of things.
Aside from being a Werewolf, Giddeon led a normal life. He went to school, participated in school activities, did homework, hung out with friends and so on. However as he got older, his parents began to sway Giddeon into becoming more involved in the pack, especially as he got to the age of noticing girls. At one point, Giddeon's parents suggested homeschooling, but Giddeon was insistent that he just wanted to grow up like everyone else and experience all that the "normal" world had to offer. A compromise was made, and Giddeon was allowed to remain in human school, however once a month, his family (and sometimes even their entire pack) would go out for a few days, just being wolves - a family outing, if you will.
As their pack grew, however, Zepher Cove became much too small of a city for them so in fear of being exposed for what they were, decided to move the entire pack to Carson City, Nevada, where Giddeon has lived ever since. What he wasn't expecting, however, was for his history teacher, Mr. Zaiger, to be a Vampire.
At first he wasn't sure what to make of the odd, sulfuric smell every time he walked into class. But as time went on, he noticed that Mr. Zaiger and himself had formed a close relationship - close enough for Mr. Zaiger to pull him to the side and exposed himself for what he was. Terrified at first, and then excited, Giddeon spent as much time as he could with Mr. Zaiger outside of school hours to learn about the Vampires. Mr. Zaiger never gave up too much information about his roots, but Giddeon absorbed his knowledge like a sponge.
His first parent-teacher conference had been interesting. Immediately, he knew his parents could identify his teacher as a Vampire, and Mr. Zaiger already knew them to be Evolved Werewolves, given the information Giddeon had told him about in the past. At first his parents were exceptionally upset by this and even the tiniest bit terrified, but after Mr. Zaiger extended his help in some small-time squabble their pack was having, trust was built and his teacher made it clear that he meant them no harm.
Now Giddeon can spend time openly with his teacher on their property where the two spend countless hours training and helping his pack. It was with this unexpected friendship that got Giddeon into thinking that if a Vampire and a pack of Werewolves can coexist... why can't everyone else?

Abilities
Super Strength: Werewolves possess supernatural strength that makes them far stronger than immortals, Supernatural Hunters and humans. However, werewolves in their human form are not as strong as a vampire, and have even been shown to be far weaker on several occasions. But they've also shown to be strong enough to at least defend themselves.
Super Speed: Werewolves are much faster than immortals, supernatural hunters and humans. They possess this ability both in and out of transformation with an animalistic quickness. However, the power is faster at night than in the day, due to the moon's presence, and their speed increases greatly when the werewolf is transformed during the full moon.
Super Agility: Werewolves possess superhuman agility. Either in wolf or even in human form, they have demonstrated that they can move, jump very high, climb, flip, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion. They can also jump down from incredible heights with almost gravity-defying grace.
Super Durability: Werewolves can take far more trauma than humans without nearly as much discomfort or injury, however, not as much as vampires. They can also exert themselves for longer periods without tiring.
Healing Factor: Werewolves possess superhuman regenerative abilities, meaning that if they are physically injured, their bodies will heal rapidly. Like vampires, werewolves can heal from the most grievous of injuries, even in human form, albeit more slowly in comparison to vampires. However, unlike vampires, when a werewolf’s neck is broken, they stay dead.
Super Senses: Werewolves have the extremely keen and heightened senses of smell, sight, taste, hearing and touch inherent in all canines. Because they are supernatural and have powers that exceeds their wolf counterparts, they can hear, see, and smell better than that of regular canines.
Lycanthrope Enhancement: Werewolves are able to make their eyes glow when angry or threatened, but only for a short amount of time. When a werewolf is furious or forced to defend themselves, their anger increases all their power and abilities for a short period of time, which allows them to access some of the power of their wolf form to give them an edge.
Shapeshifting/Transformation Control: During a full moon, they will unwillingly transform from their human form and into their wolf form. However, if a female werewolf is pregnant, they will not turn for nine months as the transformation would kill the baby.
Werewolf Bite: A werewolf's venom is extremely lethal to non-original vampires. While an Original vampire cannot die from the venom, they are not wholly immune to the effects of the bite. For non-Original vampires, the venom acts as an poison of sorts that will enter the bloodstream and deliver the toxin throughout the body, producing discomfort and weakness. All vampires who are bitten will ultimately develop uncontrollable hunger that progresses to delusions, hallucinations, rabid rage, and dementia. After that point, non-original vampires will finally die, though many are "mercy-killed" before that point.
Full Moon: A werewolf's strength, speed, agility, and all their powers are enhanced to their peak during a full moon
