The Mississippi River pack is a "nine" member werewolf pack based in my own urban fantasy world set in an alternate world of my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri.
Nada (Vampire)
Alastor
Zikie
Galaxie
Misty
Fox
Gabe
Aven
Kika
They all live just outside of the city limits on a ten acre forested lot in a modest mansion (at least as modest as you can have with 10 people living there), by the Missouri river.
Every full moon, the moon song calls to the their beast and they change into their wolf. To hunt, and run and play and fight and explore all night long, just like their wild natural cousins.
In my world werewolves are able to change from human to wolf at will, not just at the full moon, where they are forced to whether they want to or not. With practice and time they can change quickly and of course have all the powers that come with being a werewolf. They are a little faster than human, have heightened senses such as smell and sight, and can physically heal faster than humans, that is unless they are attacked by an enchanted weapon, which can leave a smooth scar on their skin. Like vampires and other supernaturals, werewolves also age slowly, meaning that while they can appear to be in their late 20's or 30's they could be anywhere from 25 to 500 years old (or older).
The Mississippi River pack wasn't doing to bad for themselves, that is until one wrong bite forces Vampiric Grand Duchess Nutarah Emberkoh to become mixed up with them and their escapades.
But this post won't be about the pack directly. This post will focus a mini preview of 3 people who would love nothing more than to see the pack destroyed.
Today I will do a mini preview into 3 villain characters of the Mississippi River Pack series:
Alfonse Emberkoh
Fredrich Emberkoh
Ariel Craigie
I don't have proper sketches of these characters yet, but I'll be sure to post them when I do.
Alfonse {Classified} Emberkoh
Age: Classified
Supernatural Type: Vampire
Hair: White
Eyes: Ice blue
Occupation: Senator for the Vampiric Nation
While he is a Senator (representing the vampiric royal family/vampire nation) and a rather powerful one at that, he was born into a such a family that he never had to work a day in his long life... until the vampires came out of the supernatural closet.
In order to stay close to the action, and do damage control if needed, the duty that comes with being a royal called and he answered. The oldest of three brothers, (Nada's father Edmond being the youngest) he has two sons of his own from two separate woman, Sasha and Sora (Nada's older cousins).
Despite the admirable qualities he has with the public, he has a deeper more sinister agenda. How long he has wanted vampires to be the dominate race is unknown but it started to come to the surface the more that his younger brother Edmond started to be more involved in politics.
When Nada's father started to get in his way of his master plan for the vampires to take over, Alfonse got him out of the way. When Marius (Nada's late fiancé, vampire mate and her personal butler) became a problem, it was Alfonse the fixed the problem. Now when Nada tries to investigate what he's up to... well... that's when he pulls his backup plan...
Frederich {Classified} Emberkoh
Age: Classified
Supernatural Type: Vampire
Hair: Platinum blonde
Eyes: Ice blue
Occupation: Police Commander for the Vampiric Police Department
Without a doubt Frederich's loyalty has always been to the Vampiric Royal Family, especially his older brother Alfonse. He (and Alfonse) greatly disapproved of their younger brother falling in love and marrying a half vampire. When they heard that they had a child together, they were even less excited. Then he got to meet the spunky young royal, and that's when he started to place her in the same category as as nephews (Sasha and Sora), an extension of the family.
So when he was forced to arrest Nada, his opinion of her naturally changed. Despite popular belief he really did care for Nada and was a really good uncle, but when he is under the impression that she had killed his brothers... well anyone would be conflicted if they were in his shoes...
Does he deep down want to believe his dear niece but has to save face? Is he just coming into his stoic persona? Is there anything that can convince him that Nada was framed?
Ariel Craigie
Age: Mid 30's
Supernatural Type: N/A - she's human!
Hair: Dark red
Eyes: Green-ish, but will wear contacts to change her color
Occupation: Bounty Hunter specializing in supernaturals
In a world of vampires and werewolves, being human can seem either a little boring or oddly refreshing. Ariel is not a boring human. How she got into a career of bounty hunting is unclear, but it is known that it was money motivated, yet she does not live lavishly. Where does her money go?
Is it going to her mom's medical debt? Is it going to loan sharks? Is she just being frugal? Regardless of what she is doing with her paycheck, it's price that clients are willing to pay for the one of the best of the best supernatural bounty hunters in the country. Hand to hand combat, weapons (mostly guns), and undercover sex appeal are some of the skills she uses to obtain information and track down those who will lead her to her next pay day.
When word gets out that the Vampiric Royal Family has an special acquisition, Ariel doesn't hesitate to jump on the trail. She does hesitate however when she finds out who Nada is hanging out with.
