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.
Today I will do a mini preview into 3 main characters of the Mississippi River Pack series:
Declan Conner 'Galaxie'
Misty Eliza Morgan
Jasper "Fox" Pierre Beaumont
I don't have proper sketches of these characters yet, but I'll be sure to post them when I do.
Declan Conner 'Galaxie' MD, ST. - Doctor of Medicine and Supernatural Treatments
Age: 330
Supernatural Type: Werewolf
Hair: Black
Eyes: Tropical Ocean Blue
Occupation: Emergency Room Doctor SMD (specializing with supernatural health - werewolf)
Good-looking, charismatic, and young (comparatively to other supernaturals), Dr. Declan Galaxie enjoys healing people when he is able to. He is qualified to treat humans and supernaturals alike, and he is the resident werewolf treatment expert in the St. Louis area. Unlike some of his colleges he is open about his supernatural state and surprisingly classy when it comes to those who are discriminatory against supernaturals.
He learned to deal with such discrimination, when he first arrived in the United States. Unlike most immigrants at the time, he had spent some time living with the Inuit people after his crew on the Franklin expedition faded away. As an Irishman with no known father in the mid 1800's he had left Europe as human, he arrived to the new world as a werewolf. In between point a and point b he had lost a lot of memory greatly due to his change but still remembered his name first name. Galaxie was a surname he adapted when he had to fill out citizenship paperwork. He had lost is accent over the centuries but every so often will get some of his old lilt back when he is feeling some type of way.
When Nada first crosses paths with him and the pack, he's doesn't think too much of the interaction, strange things have happened before. But when she crosses his path again, he thinks it's more than just a coincidence, as he is not likely to believe in them.
Eliza "Misty" Phillipa Morgan
Age: 170
Supernatural Type: Werewolf
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Green/Blue
Occupation: Software Engineer
Born in the high mountains of Appalachia on a misty morning, in what is now West Virginia, she feels the most comfortable in the mountain woods. She once had a small family of her own, and loved being a mother of four (almost five) until her house was set on fire. Through the last century or so she has adapted to the changing times, learning new technology and keeping up with modern convinces, all while seeking revenge for the family she never got to see grow up,
She never lost her 'mother bear' energy.
While not overbearing, but will always make sure that those she cares about (mostly the pack) will have something to eat before she settles down herself. Very protective of the pack, she is recognized as the lead (alpha) female of the Mississippi River Pack, even though her and Alastor are not mated, much less in a romantic relationship.
So when Nada is taken in by the pack, the motherly instincts naturally kick in. Misty wants to make sure that she is safe and fed and feels welcomed into the pack. And when Misty has decided that you are a person that she wants to protect, "mother bear" will be sure to do just that.
Jasper "Fox" Pierre Beamount
Age: 69
Supernatural Type: Werewolf
Hair: Blonde - ish
Eyes: Green
Occupation: Executive Chef at Ménta
Happiest when he is able to provide food for people he loves. One of the reasons why he became a chef was so that he and his stepdad (Fynn) who he claims as his 'real dad' would never have to go hungry again. Fox was a name that his mother gave him when he was a toddler and it just stuck with him throughout his school days.
He fell in love with cooking when he ran away from home to travel Europe, there he had impressed a chef from a local restaurant by the Mediterranean shore and continued to learn from him til this day.
Fox is unsure what to make of Nada at first, but when he sees that she is not a threat he decides that he will go with the flow, if the pack likes her, then there is no reason not to trust her. As he starts to befriend her, Fox even suggests going shopping with her as it is a bonding experience for him.
Besides if he is going to fight off the bad guys with her, she should look stylish with him while doing so.
