Overall: [400 words minimum]
Sully is naturally curious. He loves to explore, discover, and travel. He hates being stuck in the same place for a long time and has trouble sitting still when he's bored. Sully is intelligent and makes fairly good grades, but in some classes he doesn't do well simply because he isn't interested in the subject material. Therefore, he has a B average because in a few of his classes he likes the subjects, but in others he just doesn't try very hard. He loves learning about things that he is interested in, however, and reads a lot. He is good at debating, especially when he likes what the debate is about.
Sully is scared of needles, though no one is really sure where the phobia came from. The idea of stalkers, murderers, and general creeps freaks him out, and he can be paranoid sometimes. When he walks down the street, he tends to glance over his shoulder, as if he sensed someone watching him.
Despite Sully's good traits, he has a few problems. But then again, doesn't everyone? Anyway, he is reckless and tends to charge headfirst into dangerous situations just for the thrill of it. He'll sometimes sneak into off-limits places at night just to see what it's like after dark, like his school, amusement parks, and even the local mall. He has always hated people who are being jerks, and is a loose cannon when it comes to dealing with them. That isn't to say he's violent, though. He can just get mad at people who provoke him.
Growing up, his mother was always secretive and wouldn't let the neighbors see into their lives. Sully became secretive himself, and isn't very willing to trust anyone that he isn't close to.
Sully has always wanted to break away from a normal everyday life and do something that isn't... well, normal. He loves to explore a forest near his home and the thought of discovery gives him excited chills. He loves to think of what happened long ago in ruins and abandoned places. His mother supports this, albeit reluctantly, seeming to want her son to just grow up in a normal place with normal experiences. She actually seems to force this upon her son, as if reassuring herself, which Sully can't really explain.
Sully eats a lot, which he attributes to puberty. However, due to his high metabolism and active nature, he is not nearly overweight. In fact, he's fairly thin.
He isn't very social, but doesn't mind being around people. He'll try to avoid large crowds, though. The idea of being around so many people makes him nervous. If put in a situation where he has to speak in front of a large group of people, he'll freeze up and stumble over words.
Sully is watchful, always gazing around at his surroundings as if a guard on duty. He'll scan the area whenever he enters a new place, almost as if he's looking for potential threats.
...appearance
x x
Celebrity Play By: Aaron Johnson
Appearance:
HUMAN
Sully isn't very tall. He's at least a couple of inches shorter than most people at 5'4", but it's not always so noticeable. He's scrawny, yet has some strong legs from running on his school's track team. He has shaggy and usually unkempt darkish brown hair and hazel eyes, with slightly pointed features. He is quick and agile. He is considered fairly attractive by girls his age, but it's more as cute than hot. His bright yet untrusting eyes tend to roam, flicking back and forth whenever something catches his attention. He has fast reflexes and is always alert. He generally just wears comfortable jeans, a T-shirt, and old sneakers. He has a jagged scar crossing his left eyebrow. He has multiple other scars, accumulated from exploring the woods so often. He doesn't have any piercings or tattoos. He has 20/20 vision and great hearing. Sully eats a lot, but has a high metabolism and is fairly active, so he is far from overweight. In fact, he's pretty thin, on the border between average and underweight.
WEASEL
Sully's animal shift is a fully-grown male least weasel. When in his animal form, Sully has smooth, sleek brown fur that covers most of his body. His underbelly, neck, and chin are pristine white. He still has the pale scar across above his eye when he turns into a weasel. Least weasels are the smallest predatory animal, so when in animal form, Sully has razor sharp teeth, a long, slender, and agile body, and is only about seven inches long. He has a short tail and slightly rounded ears that perk up whenever he hears something. When he's a weasel, he'll instinctively snap out at anything smaller than him that might make a good snack, like a shrew or a mouse. His short weasel legs are incredibly fast, and he can zip away from just about anything if need be. His long, slender body and short legs allow him to burrow into anything that his head can fit through. When something catches his attention, he'll become alert and ready, standing on his hind legs in order to see better. He always moves around on all fours. His eyes are sharp, his nose is sensitive, and his ears are alert. He can smell traces of things days after their gone, he can hear a pin drop on carpet, and he can see a small animal from a hundred yards away if he focuses.[/size]
...history
Parents: Christina Blight (mother)
Siblings: none
[400 words minimum]
Sully was born to a single mother. His father died when he was very young, only about a year old. His mother vowed never to marry and has remained single ever since. Sully doesn't have any siblings at all.
He grew up in your average neighborhood. Some friendly neighbors, some bad ones, and some that liked to sit at their window with a pair of binoculars, waiting to find something about their neighbors that could make them look bad. Sully's mother especially hated the prying neighbors, and was very secretive, though Sully didn't know why. If his mother spotted one of those spying neighbors, she would go over and very passionately yell at them until she thought they had had enough.
Sully was friendly to the kids at school, but not all of them were friendly back. They made fun of him for being smart and for being shorter than a lot of them. He just tried to ignore them, but sometimes the bullying turned physical, and he'd go crazy on them. His fists would fly all over the place until the bullies ran off. Unfortunately, he got in trouble for fighting due to these occurrences.
He first shift happened at the average age at 13. He was at school when he began to feel physically uncomfortable. He tried to ignore it, but after a while it became full-fledged pain. He felt queasy and excused himself from class. He went home sick, on the way becoming dizzy and nauseous. He confined himself to his room, but when he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror he looked shorter and it looked like a thin layer of fur was covering his body. He dismissed it as a migraine and tried to rest.
Sully couldn't sleep due to the pain in his bones. He kept his eyes shut tight and tried to ignore it. After a couple of hours, the pain stopped, and he opened his eyes.
He first noticed that everything looked so big. Confused, he gazed around at the room until he caught sight of his mirror. Instead of a human staring back, there was a weasel. He screamed, but in his weasel form it was more of a panicked squeal. After a few minutes, he settled down. He had closed his door, so he couldn't leave the room. Instead, he spent the rest of the day exploring it in his new weasel body.
His change back to normal began around evening. About halfway through the shift, his mother came into the room. Instead of her son, she saw a weird half-weasel half-human standing there.
She was shocked, of course, but not scared or anything. Instead, she waited patiently until he was back to normal. She then explained to Sully what was going on.
Sully's great-grandmother had been a shifter. She often morphed into her animal form, a domestic cat, for her granddaughter's amusement. When her daughter learned of this, she never let Sully's mother be alone with her grandmother ever again.
After Sully's great-grandmother died, his mother was older and tried to forget about the shifting. Hard as she tried, she couldn't. Sully's grandmother and mother didn't get the gene, but Sully's mother was always scared that her son might have it. Now, reluctantly, she has him attending the Shifter Academy, which neither of them are very happy about -- Sully because it makes him feel like a freak and he doesn't want to leave everything he knows, and Sully's mother because she doesn't want to lose her son.
...connecting human to animal
[One Paragraph Minimum (Can be point form)]
Like a weasel, Sully has always been adventurous. He's curious about everything and will stop at nothing to satisfy his curiosity. He is also intelligent, like weasels. His quickness and agility is similar to that of a weasel, and his pointed features match his animal form's. Like the least weasel, he's on the small side. He can also be vicious if provoked, which can be translated into the least weasel's predatory nature. He has incredible eyesight and hearing, similar to a weasel's. The least weasel is considered one of the more violent weasels, and Sully can be violent if he's pushed too far. Least weasels must eat at least half of their body weight each day due to their high metabolism. Sully eats a lot and has a high metabolism, similar to his animal form.

RP Sample[/i]
(it's from a Percy Jackson RP, I have better examples but they're all in 1st person, present tense )
Jak found his way to the commons area, and gazed around at the cabins. He spotted the cabin that he was told was for the children of Athena, and walked inside. He approached a vacant bed in the corner and dumped his meager belongings on it -- really, just his small backpack.
He looked around the cabin and spotted a couple of girls talking. He realized that these were his sisters. He'd grown up thinking he had no family left after his father died, but now he knew that he had a family like no other. He had known about there being other children of Athena, but it didn't really seem like a real prospect to him until he was seeing a pair of them with his own eyes.
Somewhat excited by the thought of having siblings, he approached the girls. "Hey," he said as he walked over. "I just got here, and I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do." Jak really didn't know what to do. He'd known for years about the Olympians, about his mother, but he had no idea what to do by the time he got here. Secretly, all he wanted from this place was acceptance. He'd never been accepted anywhere before because of what happens in the presence of a demigod -- monster attacks, namely. But here, everyone had been through that at some point or another. He might actually fit in here.[/size]
