Summary:
Human Physical:
An 18 year old boy, standing at around 5’9ft tall and weighing approximately 130 lbs, a bit light for a boy of his size but due to insufficient amount of food he can’t help it. He has short raven black hair and light blue eyes. His eyes display an innocence; they are gentle and kind. Quite lanky and looks skinny, but his muscles stand out due to his skinniness—could definitely use some training to get him into better shape though. Other teens called him ‘Monkey’ for his skinniness, speed, and good climbing skills. Doesn’t appear particularly strong, but is quite speedy, agile, and nimble as a human. Though fast he is occasionally clumsy, his long legs tripping over himself when he’s scared or frightened. He’s got lanky limbs and is generally dressed very casually, with some slim-fitted jeans, classic converse on his feet, a t-shirt and wearing a zip-up jacket with a hood. His face is cute, handsome even, with that baby face and sometimes devilish grin. Huey is quite expressive with his facial features and his eyebrows do a lot of the talking at times. His voice is light, not too deep but deep enough to know he’s hit puberty and not a Justin Bieber. His hands have a habit of being restless when he’s nervous or feeling uneasy, usually tapping his fingers, and they never stop moving; he’s also guilty of restless leg syndrome. When Bard manifests himself through his human body, Huey becomes stronger, faster, and capable of many feats he couldn’t pull off as a human—though these usually end up with Huey having a sore body and aches in muscles he didn’t know he had the next day. Can be seen carrying around a skateboard sometimes as well as an old camera.
Wolf Physical:
His wolf form has an entity of its own. His name is Bardulf but usually is just referred to as Bard by Huey. He and the boy have a very close relationship, with Bard being very protective of the boy and coming out at times to defend and fight for him. He can manifest himself through Huey in human form and this is usually seen with a change in eye color, blue to golden amber, and a change of personality. Unlike Huey’s eyes, Bard’s golden orbs are hard, serious and can be quite menacing. When Huey shifts fully into Bard he stands at around 7ft tall but is still growing so he’s likely to get even bigger; he was actually a lot smaller when he first shifted at 14 and the size difference in a year is quite shocking. Bard is a Mexican wolf with pelt colors consisting of browns, blacks, greys, tans, and a white, light colored underbelly and legs. He has a black marking on each of his front legs and a black tipped bushy tail. His legs are thick and muscular, but his hind legs are more solidly packed giving him an edge in speed and astounding jumping abilities. He is a lot stronger in wolf form than in human form because as a wolf Bard is full control and is a better fighter. Many times during a full shift Bard has to stretch out his limbs due to growing pains and the constant adjustment to the development of his body as Huey matures.
Personality:
Huey and Bard are very different in personality. Huey is a good kid, playful, even a bit silly sometimes. Bard on the other paw is stern, serious and Huey doesn’t remember the last time the wolf laughed genuinely; usually the wolf only laughed to mock others. Huey had been aware that there was someone else with him since young, around the age of 5. At first he could only hear another voice talking to him, always encouraging him, telling him to fight back and never be the underdog. As an orphan with no one who truly cared for him, this voice was Huey’s first friend, someone the young boy relied on for strength and courage. He trusted this other entity and when he got older, around the age of 10, did he realize that this other entity was actually his wolf, Bardulf, but whom Huey fondly refers to as Bard and the only Bard allows to call him as such. Huey would occasionally let Bard manifest himself when the former was greatly frightened or too panicked to think straight in which case the wolf takes over to deal with the issue at hand. The two often converse about many topics, sharing a father-son or brotherly relationship. Bard cares for the young boy and Huey respects and cares for the wolf as well. The wolf often acts as Huey’s mentor teaching him ways of survival and how to become stronger or how to utilize his human assets to get him out of pinches. Bard doesn’t want Huey to have a dependence on him so he’s teaching the boy to think on his feet, use his speed and agility, use talking, to get out of trouble. He's also been teaching Huey to toughen up because the world isn't fair or a nice place so the boy's gotta learn to be confident. Huey’s a good kid, but he’s picked up some bad habits in order to survive on his own including pickpocketing though he usually chooses no-gooders to thieve from. The boy has a good heart and really just wants a home, a family, people to love and accept him. He’s tired of being treated like a freak, being called a weirdo and always being picked on and most of all he’s tired of not being understood. But he knows that's too good of a dream to come true. Other weres would probably rip him apart if he showed weakness. Bard is Huey’s best friend and the one who he will turn to first whenever he has a problem.
On the outside Huey doesn’t display his loneliness and covers it up with a jolly disposition, friendly and playful, not taking things too seriously and even throw in a bit of sassiness. But he’s got a good head on his shoulders, a very eager and curious person who likes nothing more than to sit down with a good book and read. Young and a bit naïve at heart, he may try to impress people but not know how to. A hard-worker, fast-learner, and always up for an adventure or something new; doesn’t like sitting still and gets bored when he has nothing to stimulate his mind. But certain triggers can scare him and revert to a frightened child in which Bard takes over. Bard is only kind to Huey and to others he’s either very terse or not really friendly at all. Bard as a bit of a foul mouth and has done things Huey wouldn’t approve of, but the boy has realized there are times when what Bard does is necessary, he just doesn't like it. Huey himself is a bit of a pacifist and would much rather learn about how to help others than hurt them. He has an extreme fascination with psychology, biology, and health-related subjects and likes to visit the public library to read.
There are times though when Huey's personality becomes a bit like Bard, where he is a more cynical, more serious, a bit more confident but this is usually when he's been pushed into a corner.
Huey is a lot more confident in wolf form than in human form.
Past:
The first thing Huey can remember from his past is waking up to the open sky, a tall building looming beside him, his voice crying out, him nestled among blankets with an unfamiliar scent. Then the next thing he knew the door to the building opened up and an elderly lady came out, looked down, and picked him up into her arms. She said calming words to try and get him to stop crying, and after a while he quieted and the woman took him inside the building.
Hughes Thaddeus Greyson was abandoned as a babe. He has no recollection of his parents and can only remember his childhood being spent in an orphanage in Chicago, IL. He actually didn’t know his name when he was first asked; he only knew because a voice told him. In the orphanage he was picked on quite often by the older children, but there was always something about him that freaked the other kids out. They could pick on him, get him to curl up into a ball from their assaults, but then Huey would get up a different person and threaten to maim the sorry bullies if they ever tried it again. Needless to say they didn’t, and even when they went to tattle on him to the orphanage owner she never believed them due to Huey’s sweet disposition.
He was adopted by his first family at the age of 10. They sent him to a private all-boys Catholic school and were quite strict with his academia. Huey excelled in school, performing exceptionally well for not having previous schooling besides the mediocre crap they gave him at the orphanage. His teachers praised him for his intelligence and Huey felt happy for the first time since meeting Bard. But of course the school boys picked on him and Bard would step in at times to scare them off but over time the wolf encouraged Huey to stand his own. Huey grew quick with his thinking and words and would outtalk the bullies, making them change their mind about picking on him on most days.
But then at age 14, he had his first changing. Bard had prepared him for it but going through it personally Huey wasn’t ready for it. He panicked and was discovered by his foster parents, who out of fear tried to shoot him but to no avail. When his foster father grabbed him by the scruff roughly, Huey changed back and since then has a dislike of people touching him anywhere but on his arms or being at his back. Of course the family tried to fix Huey because they thought he was possessed. They tried medication, and then went to exorcism. When those failed they dumped him back at the orphanage. He lived there until he was 17, learning things on his own, skateboarding and picking up some bad habits along the way. He actually went to multiple colleges and just sat in the classes, learning all he could before he was discovered and kicked out. Sometimes at night he would wander the streets in his wolf form, letting Bard come out and run around before returning to the orphanage the next morning. At age 18 he decided to leave the orphanage and took what little he owned and traveled around. As a parting gift the orphanage manager gave him a camera to help him make memories.
He traveled around and soon found himself taking a train to the state of New York. There he tried to apply as an independent and enroll himself into a college but realized that without funds he wouldn't be able to pay for it. After wandering around for a bit on his own, he heard there was a werewolf pack in New York City and eagerly went to see if they would take him in.
Example Post:
Huey backed into an alleyway. It was dark out and he had thought he’d just take a stroll around NYC, but it looks like he shouldn’t have been so careless to think that no trouble lurked in one of the biggest and busiest cities in America.
In front of him were 4 older men, around early 20s if he guessed correctly. All three of them smelled of alcohol and he was pretty sure two were tipsy and the other two were drunk.
He was in this situation now because one of them had bumped into his shoulder and accused him of not apologizing and not watching where he was going. Huey really didn’t like people like them but four against one was not really good odds.
”C’mon Huey, don’t be a chicken you can get yourself out of this mess,” Bard said in his head and Huey nodded his head quickly.
”Y-yeah, yeah I can get out of this mess. I can do it,” he said trying hard to convince himself as the four guys neared him looking angry and annoyed.
”Hey dude, you aren’t gonna apologize for hitting me?” one guy asked and Huey rolled his eyes, trying to tell the guy.
”Look for the last time you’re the one who bumped into me. How is it my fault you can’t walk in a straight line?” he retorted and knew he was just making this worse for himself.
”Why you…got a mouth on you dontchu? Well let’s see if you’ll be flapping those lips once I’m done with yeh,” the lead guy said as he stepped threateningly closer. Instinctively Huey takes a step back only to hit the brick wall of the end of the alley.
He turns back to look at the group of guys ganging up on him and his breath starts to quicken.
”Get a grip boy! I’ve taught you better than this!” Bard scolded him and Huey nodded trying to act tough, standing up straighter so he wouldn’t look as scared.
He suddenly pointed to behind the guys, ”Police!” he yelled and all four guys turned around and Huey took the opportunity to sprint for it through the opening between two of the guys. One of the guys though, one of the tipsy ones, caught on though and as Huey passed him, the guy shot out a hand and grabbed the back of Huey’s neck.
Huey’s eyes went wide and he suddenly went limp, falling to the ground and curling up instinctively. His neck was his weak spot. Ever since his foster father had yanked him by the scruff when he first changed, touching his neck would bring back those bad memories of his past and he just closed up.
”Huey! Get up, boy! You can’t close down on me now!” Bard was now yelling at the boy, trying to get him out of his trance-like state where all he could see were memories of his past.
But Huey didn’t even hear Bard and the guys were closing in on the defenseless Huey. With a growl Bard took over and Huey’s eyes snapped open, turning from their normal light blue to a golden hazel.
One of the guys reached out a hand to grab him, but Bard slapped it away and did a back-flip to put space in between him and the opponents.
”Don’t touch me with your filthy hands,” he said in a deeper, more menacing tone than usual for Huey’s body.
”The f*** man? You think you’re all that, you’re nothing but a pip—“ the guy’s words got cut off as when he came to grab again this time Bard threw a right hook right into the guy’s solar plexis, knocking the wind out of the guy. The latter collapsed gasping for breath and Bard kicked him in the side knocking him out. He turned to see the other guys. ”Who’s next?”
It didn’t take long for Bard to take care of the other three idiots. He smacked two of them together in the face and they collapsed in a heap on the ground. The last one had the nerve to pull a knife on him and Bard let out a snarl at the sight of the weapon. ”Filthy coward, hiding behind your weapons. Look at you, pissing your pants what a loser,” Bard mocked the guy. The last one cried out as he slashed his hand downward with the knife at Huey’s body. But Bard intercepted, grabbing the guy’s hand easily and twisting it behind the guy’s back, making him drop the knife.
He brought the man closer to him as he whispered into his ear. ”Don’t ever come near me again. If I see your face again I won’t be this nice,” was all Bard said before hitting the guy over the head, knocking him out. The wolf looked distastefully at the sight before him before grabbing Huey’s backpack and slinging it over his shoulders. Pushing power into Huey’s long thin legs, Bard leaped up and grabbed the nearest fire escape and climbed it up onto the roof top. Without looking back he leaped away.
”…Bard?” Huey’s voice sounded in his head.
”What is it kid?” Bard replied as he continued to hop from rooftop to rooftop.
”…Thanks…for everything, I’m sorry for being weak.”
Bard grumbled slightly before he replied.
”You’re not weak kid, just need time and practice. You’ll see,” was all he said as he took them to their temporary home in a motel.
