Greyson's return home from England had been anything but relaxing. He'd gone straight to work helping around the village in an effort to make-up for the three days he'd been gone. His first night back he had spent out in the woods in his larger form, running the edge of the territory. Normally that would be the scout's job, but Greyson was just happy to be back and needed the release. As for the current day, he'd spent most of it in town buying a few necessities for the house and visiting with a few townsfolk he'd grown to call friends over the years. By mid-afternoon he'd returned home and put away all his things, managing to clean up a bit on the outside of his cabin, raking leaves and other bits of yard work that needed tending to. Once it was finished up, Greyson took it upon himself to take a quick break and get off his feet.

The young man shifted into his wolf form and padded off into the treeline at the edge of the pack's housing, plopping down beneath a nice shady tree as he watched the others for a bit as they too finished up their daily chores. It didn't take long for him to spot one of the other fighters of the pack, Mina, doing her usual _failed attempt at trying to court the Alpha. Again. Greyson couldn't help but smirk a little bit. Granted, Mina had been in the pack long before himself but he was surprised she was able to keep her place. He had much respect for Jude, for more important reasons but this one in particular... the guy sure had a lot of patience and tolerance when it came to the she-wolf and the way she held herself. Mina was beautiful, that much Greyson could admit, but the way she constantly looked at Greyson like he was an outsider left a bad taste in the young wolf's mouth. Seemed to prance around like everyone, including the Alpha at times, was beneath her.

Greyson watched the two till Jude handed over his table saw to the she-wolf and they both ventured off towards the tool shed, picking himself up off the ground before stepping back into the treeline to walk back to his home so as to not catch unwanted attention. Grey forced himself back into his human form as he walked, pulling his button-up shirt down to straighten out the creases and fixing the collar before breaking the tree-line once more. As he neared his front steps, Greyson could just barely make out voices of a couple other pack members. They sounded off in the direction towards the lake. Should he join them? No. There were some things to get done. Things he needed to make up for for being gone as long as he was. Greyson headed inside to get a change of clothes put on, something less dressy, and more fit for hard work around the property.

Today had been a pretty quiet day for Sky at the shop, having only had 2 customers her entire shift, not counting the one that came in just as she was clocking out. The customer was a usual she'd seen come in time and time again, the store owner being quite fond of the young woman. If Sky didn't know any better, she'd think they were family. Once Sky had collected her things from the back, she hesitated at the doorway with her hand on the bar.

"You sure you don't need me to do anything else be-"

"Sky," the woman cut her off with a tender smile, "Go home and enjoy your night. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye pretty boy!"

The pit bull didn't pay attention, his nose was stuck in the door jam waiting for it to open up. Sky smiled at her boss and shook her head. "I think he's ready to go home. We'll see you."

With that, she ducked out the front door and out into the warmth of the late-afternoon sun with her pooch off-leash at her heels. Tightening the straps on her canvas bag, Sky set off across the street once it was clear of traffic.

"What do you say, bud? Ice cream before we head home?" The pit's head tilted the instant she mentioned ice cream, his tail furiously wagging as he began to yip happily, twirling around in circles. "Alright, alright. Lets go, Moosers."

The two wandered up the street a couple of blocks before reaching their destination, Moose taking a seat at the door just outside of the business as Sky pushed her way through the door. Ordering herself a Rocky Road cone and a cup of vanilla with a little whipped cream added for Moose.

Mina's Pack Relationships

Since the game has just barely gotten off the ground, below is Mina's impressions of the current list of pack members based on their CSes.

Jude - He has a somewhat similar background to Cosmina, and, though she may not act like it, she feels more of a kinship to Jude than she does the other wolves. Both of their families have been with the pack since it settled outside Vinehurst and both lost family members during the fight against vampires. The eight-year gap means they weren't close as children. If it wasn't for Mina's personality, the two may have had a closer relationship.
Though she won't openly admit it, Cosmina does find Jude to be rather attractive. @Metronome

Olivia - Out of the entire pack, Mina will bunt heads with Olivia the most. Mina has trouble trusting anyone who wasn't born into the pack. Not only wasn't Olivia born into the pack, but she also wasn't born a werewolf. Because of this Mina has referred to Olivia as a 'mutt' more than once. Mina questions her loyalty to the pack despite Olivia rising to the position of Beta. @Asesina

Thane - Another wolf who wasn't born into, nor raised by, the pack. Due to his scars, Cosmina hasn't been quite as tough on Thane as others in the pack. She sees him as more of a curiosity than a threat to the pack. Plus, she enjoys his sarcasm. @Argetlam350

Towser - Cosmina doesn't like Towser. She does respect the fact that he has earned his place within the pack. Yet Mina finds him to be too laid back, aloof, and perhaps believes he is a bit cowardly. @Monochromatic

Ezra - She may not always act like it, but Cosmina is incredibly fond of Ezra. He may be a fairly laid back guy, yet, unlike some others, Mina has no reason to question Ezra's loyalty to the pack or his commitment to his position within the pack. She admires his quick wit and his willingness to bark back at others. @vertigh0st

Greyson - Cosmina may have her issues with Olivia and Towser, but there is absolutely no doubt in her mind that Greyson is the biggest threat to the pack. Not only does pretty boy endanger himself, and thus the pack, with his solo trips across the ocean, Greyson has minor celebrity status within the human world. His exposure would in turn expose the pack. @Moro

@NinaDivine

Oof. x) I respect that, though. Expected nothing less from _{Katherine Pierce} Cosmina ^^

"Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What’s important is the action. You don’t have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow." -Carrie Fisher

---

---

_Appearance

Sky stands at approximately 5'7". You could ask her but she'd tell you she hadn't checked in a few years and she is 100% sure she hasn't grown since, so... she actively watches her weight for no good reason, if you asked her though she'd tell you it's rude to ask a woman's weight. _{She's 137lbs, F.Y.I.} This young woman possesses dark brown hair that reaches down just past her shoulder blades. Most of the time she wears it down, unless it's hot out, or sometimes she will place it up into a quick bun before starting on a project. Her eyes are almond-shaped and colored slate grey. Unless you're really close to her, you wouldn't notice the light freckles that are scattered across the bridge of her nose and beneath her eyes. Sky also has a few scars, one that's hidden in her left eyebrow. An injury to her forehead she required as a small child that healed up and moved down into her brow as she grew older. The other two scars she has are jagged marks deep into her back. Rock climbing trip gone wrong. Other than that, this girl is pretty much free of blemishes except for the occasional acne but even that is few and far between, these days. Sky's also got a couple of tattoos. One, that is a two-part tattoo, is a set of raven wings that extends down the length of her upper arm almost to her elbow. The other is a memorial tattoo of her late Staffy dog, Benny.

_Personality

Loyal ♖ Blunt ♖ Intelligent ♖ Stubborn ♖ Protective ♖ Out-Spoken ♖ Compassionate ♖ Confrontational ♖ Strong-Willed

Sky is the type of girl who is not afraid to tell you what's on her mind, unapologetically so. She's always felt that it's better to be straight-forward with your friends and potentially hurt their feelings rather than lie to their face and spare them your truths. She loves deep and loves true, treating her partners as royalty and her friends like family. Fiercely loyal, she will always be a phone call away and will have your back every step of the way. She's stubborn to a fault but makes up for it by getting things done, even if it means making the hard decisions. Her out-spoken behavior has caught her in a few too many confrontations, but Sky is not one to back down from a fight. Call it stupidity, call it what you like. She's got a little bit of devil in those angel eyes, you'd best not get on her bad side.

_History

First off, let me say that Sky's true lineage is a mystery to her. She was adopted at birth and her adoptive parents had no means to contact or even search up her birth parents. She spent much of her early years with her nose stuck in books escaping into other worlds, going on adventures she never thought possible to be real. Sky lived in Oregon for the majority of her life, and within the last year has since moved to Vinehurst to dig up some information on a lead she found about supernatural beings that resided there. It's been less than a year but the time she's spent living in Vinehurst so far has been spent making a place for herself, getting a job at the local bookstore where she and her dog can be found 6 days a week from open till close. She doesn't have many she would call friends, but she's friendly enough with a number of locals and her usual returning customers. Sky tries to keep a low-profile, but she has a knack for getting into places she's not supposed to. Her curious nature is bound to win over, she just hopes she doesn't end up like the cat in the old saying about curiosity.

_{Extra Information}

♖ Meet Moose
♖ Sky's home at the edge of town
♖ Aside from reading books, Sky loves photography.
♖ Has an affinity for plants. Green thumb, or something much more?
♖ Owns a jeep but prefers to just use her Chevro-legs for transportation.

_Appearance

Greyson stands at a flat six feet tall while weighing approximately 68.946kg (152lbs). The young man keeps up on working out, leaving him with quite an athletic, mesomorph build. He has blue-grey eyes and wavy dirty-blond hair. His skin is lightly-tanned, with no blemishes of any kind. Greyson's personal style consists of plain ol' crew neck t-shirts and jeans with some normal street shoes. Least that's what he wears to fit in with the 'American youth'. He would much prefer it if he wore 'fancier' clothing, such as button up shirts and a nice pair of jeans or slacks with some dress shoes. A nicely pressed suit is a personal favorite of his. No matter what he wears, though, he always has his two rings (1.0 family crest ; 2.0 gift from his father) and his necklace from his mother.

_Personality

Reserved ♖ Overly-Confident ♖ Loyal ♖ Stubborn ♖ Protective ♖ Semi-prim ♖ Composed ♖ Passive ♖ Well-Mannered

Greyson is a soft-spoken gentleman who keeps a rather calm and stoic demeanor on the outside. His background has him constantly holding his shoulders back and head held high to face the problems thrown his way. He's a young man of very few words, that is unless he's speaking passionately about something. Or to someone. Even through the hardships that Greyson has faced, he's always managed to keep hold of his soft, kind-hearted inner shell. The few he's allowed into his inner circle know this boy is loyal to a fault, and loves like no other. This young man has a soft spot for both women and children. His need to protect the women in his life far exceeds anything else. Greyson is an all-around good guy. He can act pretty damn confident, but it's not out of an "I'm better than you" way, more of an "I know my worth" kind of way. He's a lover, not a fighter, which is quite funny considering his rank in the pack.. but will fight for those he loves. You probably won't find another guy like him.

_History

Greyson's mother, Princess Diana, died when he was very young. Greyson grew up in the shadows of Prince William and Prince Harry, raised by Prince Charles, Duke of Wales and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. Charles treated Greyson as if he was his own son, and Greyson knew no better. His real father never came forward to claim him so he didn't know any better of where/who his real lineage lied with. That is, until his first transformation.

The details of just how exactly he made it on his own are quite fuzzy to Greyson, but all he knows is it didn't take long for someone from a pack that resided in the States to reach out to him. They offered information for the young boy to piece together, filling in the blanks of a past he never even knew. He began spending summers with them, learning who he was and how to control the abilities he had (and was still discovering). It was a relief to him that he wasn't alone, and that things weren't just black and white, but much more complicated than he could've ever imagined before.

Once Greyson turned 20, he decided to look for a pack to stay with on a more permanent basis. Eventually, Greyson did find his place among the pack that resided in Vinehurst and fell in with them quite smoothly. Greyson occasionally takes time away from the pack to make public appearances with the family, but they don't last too long, as he has a duty to his pack. Something he's always taken very seriously.

How Greyson's Parents Met

From what Greyson was told by a close family friend many years ago, his parents met on a pier. Diana and Charles had just settled their divorce and her ex-husband and ex-friend Camilla had gone quite public with their relationship. No longer in the shadows, it was hard for Diana to cope. Harrison had happened upon the woman crying on a bench seat overlooking the water. It was late in the evening and the sun was setting. It was something out of a movie. Even though she was in tears and her make-up was running, he said she was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. He took to her like a duck to water, and vice versa. The two became very close in a short time and... well, it led to the conception of a child. Greyson. Over the next nine months, she kept her pregnancy hush hush.

When the boy was born, it was believed _{to the public, anyway} that the child was the result of Charles and Diana having flipped the table and had an affair behind Camilla's back. Of course, Charles denied it because he knew that wasn't the case. Camilla, however, had her suspicions. When Diana died in the car crash just 8 months after Greyson was born, Charles took it upon himself to bring him under his wing and raise him as his own. The public already had it in their minds that he was in fact his. If he turned his back on the boy, he'd never hear the end of it. The small child grew on Charles quickly, making it simple for him to forget that he wasn't actually his. He received the same schooling as his two brothers, William and Harry.

Greyson grew up hearing stories of his mother from the two older boys, and of course the tabloids. It wasn't encouraged in the Royal Household to read up on any of them, because most (if not all of them) were lies. Least that's what they were told, growing up. Greyson read them anyway. It's all he had left of his mother's legacy. That, and a necklace that she bought for him within the first few weeks after his birth at the pier where his parents had met. She'd planned to give it to him on his 18th birthday. His father had acquired it at some point, but instead of holding onto it for so long, he gave it to his son the summer following his 10th birthday. It's the only thing Greyson has left of his mother, doubling as a reminder that at one point in time his parents had been in love.

@sassy1085 Well hello, old friend. ^^ Long time, no see!

Vinehurst Mythology (Open)

May I join in on this adventure? ^^ Was thinking of a 25-year-old male mid-rank (fighter) pack member and a 28-year-old female bookstore clerk character (with a family of witches in her background, but she is completely unaware and not a practicing witch), if it was still available? ^_^

Is forum Roleplaying beginning to slow down?

Yes, yes it has. The site has most certainly dwindled from years prior due to an incredibly toxic group of individuals that were left completely unchecked and unstopped until most the players I RP'd with stopped entirely.

But recently? Eh, group roleplays from my knowledge have been pretty limited to certain circles and ongoing affair for a while now on this site. (For instance, well over half of the current front pages of casual and advanced have RP's at least several months old.)

@SleepingSilence

I have to agree with this entirely. 100%.

I've been involved with a few RPs in a couple different circles, and have witnessed that typically the people who didn't start out in the original circle are pushed out eventually and it just remains the same people in multiple different RPs. Whether they personally just don't fit in with the group or whatever, their characters are practically ignored (no matter how much an individual can attempt to be included) till they finally say "screw it" and just drop because who wants to be in a group RP when you're just RPing with yourself the entire time? :T I've watched quite a number of my old friends go due to this same issue.

Personally, I've never been very good at being a GM. I don't handle spotlight well, and don't enjoy telling people what they can and can't do. xP I can't keep my own RP's alive to save my life, and when so many RPs are involved with the same tight-knit circles/cliques, it's kind of hard to want to stay "in the game" anymore. I'll admit, more often than not, I'm questioning whether or not I want to stay in it.. not that my presence would be missed, cause I've been quite a hit-and-miss in the last few years (since I had my daughter). RPing got me through a lot of trouble in my past. Anymore it seems as though the nostalgia of it is the only thing keeping me here.
