...personality

Likes:(at least 10)

• Outdoors - It's an open space making it easier to escape those around you. He loves the dead of night when the night is at it's darkest. He also loves the sunshine and the rain, as long as it's outside it's wonderful to him.
  
  
• Music - Yet again it's a way to escape those around you as well as express yourself to those you want to let in, no matter how few they be. The louder the better.
  
  
• Art - When words don't work, art does. Everything can be art in his eyes, a tree on fire, a dog running loose in the streets, it all means something.
  
  
• Daydreaming - To him, movies are seen everday in your head. Your imagination is just one big horror flick. Words you wish you'd said are played over and over again. You can put anyone's face in any role and play out anything. You can change any scene past, present even future. It's the greatest escape of all the trivial escapes put together.
  
  
• Fighting - Fighting is always fun, even if it's just verbally pushing someone to the point of a mental breakdown. Sure, he might not know you and sure you probably even held the door open for him a few times, it doesn't make you immune to the fun of pissing you off.
  
  
• Women - Of course, any guy is going to like women... Well, most of them anyway. Even if they are just as much victims of his annoying rampage as men it doesn't mean he doesn't like them. In fact a few might even be able to creep their way into his special side, where no one ever gets bugged by him.
  
  
• Books - He likes book, but not reading them.. Hiding behind them. Books are good for many things, hiding, looking smart, and throwing are the top three.
  
  
• Quiet Spaces - Parts of the room where no one dares to roam, the park bench too close to the ant pile.. Those are the places people avoid, and the places he likes most. What a wonderful place to draw when no one is around. Quiet, alone spaces are his favorite place to be, when you can't find him look behind a dumpster.
  
  
• Parties - Sure they clash with his "no people" and "always alone" rule, but other than that they have everything. Loud music, colorful bright artisitic images, women and tons of egotistical jerks just begging to be bugged by him. Even if he's not invited, he might show up just to cause some trouble.
  
  
• Lakes - Even if he can't swim and hates water for that simple fact. He loves being around a lake, the quiet cool breeze, the random possibly poison filled flowers and brush.. It reminds him of happier times when things were normal, and he'd trade away a million parties, women and hardback throwing books for that perfect setting.
  

Dislikes: (at least 10)

• Water - He can't swim to save his life, or anyone elses so it's wise to not test the theory. He likes to keep it to himself because he is sure it would make a big joke that someone like him can't swim, and in fact has a major almost childlike fear of water.
  
  
• Being Outdone - If he does a trick and you do it better, be prepared to be punched in the face. He doesn't like to be outdone and isn't shy to let you know that too. If he's not the best at it then it shouldn't exist.
  
  
• Closed In Spaces - Chances are if he's locked in a room, he isn't alone. He doesn't like being cramped up with a bunch of people esspecially talkative ones. He gets annoyed and ends up shutting down or worse, talks back.
  
  
• Being Seen - Not physically seen, but emotionally. He doesn't like being seen as the sensitive guy he really is. He isn't very fond of people know about his past or even what he had for lunch yesterday. He likes to be private and to himself with things like that, and only opens up to a few.
  
  
• Caring About Someone - He doesn't like making bonds with people, when he is sure they will fade long before he is ready for it to happen. When he does make bonds with people he makes sure they are strong, and that's never a good thing for him.
  
  
• Hurting People He Cares About - It bugs him more than anything. Because it gives that person something to use against him, thus bringing in the pain of being 'out done'. Not only that, he just doesn't like doing anything to hurt anyone he cares about, because there as so few of them.
  
  
• 'Normal' People - As most of his kind 'he assumes' does he hates the normal people who don't have to suffer the curse he does. He hates the very thought of being found out by them let alone being stuck in the same world as them.
  
  
• Cats - There isn't much to be said about this one, he just doesn't like cats. He thinks they are all liars and sneaky. He is sure they are all together plotting the downfall of mankind this very moment. Never trust a cat.
  
  
• Teachers Who Try To Understand - The whole sitting down and 'talking it out' thing just doesn't work. It hasen't and he knows that. He has seen many people who try and tell him they understand and can help, but they never can and in his mind never will.
  
  
• Waking Up Early - He stays out as late as he can and loves every second of the night time, so when morning comes around he isn't too happy to see it.

Overall: [400 words minimum]

Loving - When he cares about someone, they know it. He takes good care of them and lets them know every chance he gets that he cares. If anyone tried anything to harm someone he loved there is a very good chance he'd have them killed.

Cold - Just as he can be loving, he can be cold and careless. If he doesn't think you're worth his time, then you aren't. He wouldn't leave you for dead, but he wouldn't risk his own life for yours.

Funny - Some mistake it for rude or jerk like behavior but he just sees it as being funny. He likes to make jokes or just do things to make people smile, even if he doesn't like them. It helps pass the time.

Serious - While he can be a jerk and a total loser he can serious and when he is nothing can change it. He can get to the point of obsessive about things when he gets too involved with them.

He is a fun loving outgoing person, one moment and then in the blink of an eye he can hate the world. Normal people just annoy him and he doubts he can ever see them as equal, let alone have or want to have anything to do with them. He loves having a good time and can host a good time as well. Going out isn't a problem and neither is staying in. He has an easy to please attitude most days and a never satisfied cold shoulder the others. He is pretty much the invention of bipolar and doesn't mind if people think that. He hardly cares what anyone thinks, and once again it's down to who he cares about. If he cares about you then he cares the world what you think of him, because he only wants to make you happy. But if he thinks nothing of you, then he could care less and even help you find an opinion of him by either being a total jerk to you, or just telling you what he personally thinks of you. He is smart but yet he hardly ever thinks before he speaks. Someones it just happens and he will accidently blurt something out without even letting it pass his mind a second time, let alone one time. This can be both bad and good and is just another one of his many flaws.

Celebrity Play By: Bam Margera
Appearance: [400 words minimum]
He has dark black hair that never gets long and tan skin that prove he likes the outdoors quite a bit.. His eyes are a very bright blue and give off a sense of harmless, and often are his ket to getting people's attention, if the tattoos and bad atttitude don't work. and his eyes stay that harmless shade of blue until he changes, then they give off the warning of a light red glow before going pure white for only a moment. Once in his animal form he has light brown eyes almost bright. He isn't a big guy, but he isn't small either. He works out a lot to make up for that fact too and isn't ashamed to show it off, (another one of his ways of ticking people off) . While he is short he can still stand up for himself quite well. His clothing style matches his personality grately. It's dark and baggy, pretty much anything that fits well and doesn't make him stand out too much. He loves to wear band shirts and long sleeves, even in the heat of summer to hide the small scars he has on his arms that he recieve in many different events. He also has a large scar on his upper shoulder from an accident when he was young, involving a hunter and a bad choice. He has many tattoos usually gotten at random moments in his life when he was bored or just wanted a different look to him. He doesn't have any piercings and plans to keep it that way as long as he can. His animal form is a black wolf, who looks harmless but is anything but that. He isn't a big wolf, much like his human form he is just average. His teeth and claws are sharp and look almost groomed. While his human form looks like a stray found on the side of the road. He doesn't see the need to impress anyone with his looks or style, but when he wants to he can quite well and is known to dress all out to impress when he thought the moment called for it.

...history

Parents: Ryan Draven - 41 & Alicia Draven - Died at 38
Siblings: None that he is aware of
[400 words minimum]
Justin was adopted at birth and knew very little about his real family. He was adopted by Ryan and Alica Draven and never had a bad thought about them as far as he was concered this was his real family. His mother was a stay at home mom who was very involved with the cominity and his father worked in a small company that was like town maintnince. His childhood was normal, they lived in a small town where everyone knew everyone and Justin was hardly let out of sight. Even the teacher would make sure he was watched at all time, Justin and the other kids just thought it was the curse of over protective parents and while he would get teased for it, never thought much of it. He never got in trouble at school, except for the usual speaking out of turn and being late, but it was never anything that singled him out as bad kid.

Later on in his life things started to change. The eyes became more stern and followed him more urgently, like they were waiting for him to mess up or something. That was when he started to rebel. He was always escorted home after school, while the other kids ran off for their sleep over and other normal kid stuff, and it was now at this age Justin started to notice. So one day he decided to fix it and avoided the watchful eye of the teacher to join his friends on a hike into the woods. It was a game they would play to sneak up on the hunters and try to scare away their prey. It was a game Justin wasn't familiar with, but decided to learn about in order to fit in with his fellow students.

While he was all ready to go out and become normal, the other students weren't so willing. They would all say that if he went along the teacher would follow and the game would be ruined. But a girl by the name of Libby told them otherwise and took responsibility for tagging Justin along on their trip.

Halfway into the woods Justin became sick, his stomach ached and his head began to pound as things grew blurry. But he pressed on, not wanting to let Libby down and to show the others he was just as normal as they were. They got closer to their first hunter, a man Justin knew well. It was his father's boss, an avid hunter. This didn't make Justin feel any better about the plan, but he pressed on. The closer they got, the worse he began to feel. He got dirty looks from kids mad that Justin would give them away and ruin the game, and soon enough he did. He let out a ear breaking scream as sounds of snapping bones and ripping skin filled the air, most of the kids ran, but loyal Libby stayed behind. Fear kept her in place as she watched Justin change from a small boy to a black wolf right in front of her.

The hunters ran towards the sound, taking one look at Justin and Libby and fireing. They thought they were trying to save the little girl, they had no idea she wasn't the one in danger. The bullet grazed the side of Justin's shoulder, causing him to howl out in pain, fear now replaced with rage as he turned his attention towards the hunter responsible for the blood flow in his arm. It was blurry and quick, but before anyone could stop it he had mauled the man to death.

The other man had grabbed Libby and ran, leaving Justin alone and horrified at his own being.

Moments seemed like hours and finally the boy returned, he wondered home horrified and confused his parents were already waiting for him.

It was then he was told about his birth parents and how they were just like him, how they had left him in the care of others hoping he would have a chance at living a normal life unbothered by judging eyes and rage of everyone who claimed themselves 'normal'.

With his new life given to him without him even having a say, things changed. He studied from home, too afraid to leave the safety of it. He was even treated differently from his parents, who seemed to almost fear him.

He began to sneak out of the house, feeling the need to get out and make an attempt to get to know his own curse. He'd rush out to the small lake near his home no one ever seemed to be and change, just to try and learn it more and figure it all out. It was a quiet spot, and a spot he thought was all his until she showed up again. He hadn't seen her in years, they were now both fifteen and not much had changed on her. Libby had never been afraid of what he was and much to his surprise seemed interested in it.

His trips out of the house sooned got new reasons, he no longer left to try and tame his beast, he left to see her and that alone made everything better.

But as his life would show, nothing good lasted and one night while enjoying their own personal lake a group of people had the same lake in mind and ran into them. Of course, they remembered Justin and had a few choice words for him, again the whole scene happened so fast no one could really stop it and in the end three boys and Libby where dead. From what he remembered later on, one of the boys had tried to use her as a shield and Justin hadn't stopped in time.

He went home and confessed to his parents, and later that night he heard them fighting over what to do with him. He heard words like jail, and zoo, even a few mentions of putting out of his misery. That was the simple statement that provoked him to run away.

He lived with a few bums a town over for a while, avoiding life and everyone in it as long as he could. But curiosity soon got the best or him and he returned home to see what had become of his former life. His mother had died not long after he left, another thing he blamed himself for, and his father didn't seem to have any answers or hope to give him, but a slip of paper with an address on it. .

...connecting human to animal

[One Paragraph Minimum (Can be point form)]
Justin's animal is much like him in the sense they both can sense emotions quiet well, be it bad or good. They hide emotions well and you can never be sure that you can trust them 100%. There is also a loyalty factor that lets you know once you're in with this animal you're in for life, the same as in Justin's real life case.

...literacy

RP Sample[/i]
Justin rushed out the front door, desperate to get away from the chatter of the young girls in the room. They were all so excited about something as he could tell from their high pitched squeels and the way they bounced about. It was the most annoying thing he had ever seen or heard. He was so happy to get away from it. Outside it was so different, the sun was slightly covered by some clouds that kept threatened to open up and pour rain at any second and there was a cool breeze in the air that just invited him to take a deep breath and enjoy. It was like Heaven compared to the screaming Hell he had just escaped.

He wondered around for a moment, just taking in the sights and smells of a quiet world. Sure there were a few people around, but they were keeping to themselves, if you didn't count the few people who shot him dirty looks. He would be expecting those looks for a few more days. He had once again annoyed one of the more popular people at this place by crashing into his party and informing the man's girlfriend he was into bird sex.. It was well worth it since he shifted into a bird and so did one of his girlfriend's best friends. The yelling from that moment was much more entertaining than the one he'd just escaped.

To these evil glares he would smile and wave, just egging on the hate. It made him all warm and fuzzy inside.

He found a quiet spot directly in the sunlight, a hint as to why no one else was there, he pulled off his backpack and pulled out a pencil and ripped up notebook and began to draw, he drew the current scene before him, tons of people with no real idea what was going on in the world. They were living in a fantasy, not one of them put thought into tomorrow. So, on his pad of paper, he drew a group of zombies, fighting over a dead chicken. It's exactly what the people reminded him of.

He held out his work and smiled to himself, quite proud of the gorey scene he'd brought to life, but the sound of a quiet chuckle behind him suggested that he was the only one who found the drawing to be a masterpiece.[/size]
