charles, or captain quinn as he likes to go by, is tall, and well-proportioned. his arms are an average length, and his legs match perfectly. his jaw bone is chiseled, and very well defined when it is not covered with a thin layer of scruff. his beard is never longer than shown above. his hair is the blackest of blacks, and his eyes pop with the most vibrant of blues. his skin is fair, pale even. but that is only because of his northern bloodline. even years out sailing could not and would not tint his skin color in any way. as for his scars, he has plenty, but most of them can be found dead center in his back, and on his lower torso. he has a story for every single scar he has, and he's not afraid to tell you all of them at once. he believes that his scars are just little additions to his story, and that they are mere proof that he's won many battles. he favors his sailing boots, and his long black leather captain's coat. he wears black often, it seems to be the only color in his wardrobe. on his hands, he wears rings from previous expeditions.

_____charles is not from around here. he's from the northern kingdom, and the only real proof he has of that is his accent that he has acquired after years of living there. while growing up, he was simply known as 'kid' or 'pest' only because he grew up on the streets with not even a name to call his own. he was abandoned by a mother and father years before he could even speak his own words, and ever since then, he always found a way to take care of himself. he had no other choice but to, no one else would. charles names himself after a character in a story he read, he does not have any real name, but he enjoys his just the way it is. he grew up a lot faster than most kids in his kingdom, but his spirit never stopped craving adventure. he was always pushing and shoving his way through large crowds to stare up at the soldiers as they returned from battle, hoping that one day he might be like them. unfortunately, his fate was already being decided with each new item he stole just to survive. charles did not see which way he was going, so, he continued to pursue a life as a brave soldier. it wasn't long until he was changing into his first uniform. when he entered the army of the royals in the north, he was quick to realize that it was not for him. he absolutely hated being told what to to, and how to act. he wanted to be a leader, and so, just as quickly as he joined, he quit.
at first charles thought that his fate would never be truly revealed until he returned to the life he lived as a kid. he was stealing to survive once more... and it was then when he realized that he could put this skill to good use. charles stole from the king of the north, and quickly used the gold he obtained to buy himself a ship. charles quickly hired a crew, and did his research to find new worlds to explore. before charles could leave the docks, the king found out what he had done. the king was not a cruel man, so charles was not put to death. instead, he was banished from the northern kingdom, and that is why he has not returned since. charles is happy with the life he leads now a days. he respects his crew, and he only hopes for the best for them. they are all lost souls like he is. he believes sailing the seas sets some kind of freedom that living in a kingdom cannot provide.
charles can be described as a conartist. he is always fooling people out of their money, and possessions, and no one ever really notices. it's because the man has a way with words, and he uses it to his advantage. he went from street rat to captain, and because of this, he displays true leadership, and often reminds his crew why he's captain. he does not tolerate anyone crossing him, ever. whenever someone crosses him, he always goes out of his way to get back at them ten times worse. he is a vengeful spirit, and makes sure to keep a list of people he does not like. the only people he trusts are the people on his crew, and he has perfect reason to. they are like his family, and he is not about to let anything happen to them. charles is infamous in many kingdoms, simply for the fact that he is known for stealing wives from their homes with his smooth words, and generous offers. he has a long line of people just waiting to get at him... and honestly, he likes it that way. he's always up for a challenge.

_____ althalos lived a pretty straightforward life for a kid his age. he was brought into this world by two loving parents who were also wolves like he was. he had a fighting chance in this world,and his parents believed that he would be their way out of the simple life they were living. they were just farmers, not even respectable ones, either. they grew flour, and they milled it, and that was about it. their flour didn't make it to the royal castle, instead, it stayed in simple bakery's where they knew it would stay for quite some time. it seemed like they were trapped, like this was the only place they would ever be. but they took one look at their small baby, and they told themselves that he would accomplish big things. it was a lot of pressure for someone who couldn't even say anything in response... and it only got worse as he aged. more things were expected, and soon enough his parents were putting him high on a pedestal. they wanted him to be the first wolf to be something. they wanted the rowntree name to be known all over. they wanted young werewolves to believe that they could do big things as well. it was so much pressure for althalos, especially while he was going through the phases of the wolf. he wanted his parents to believe in him, but he knew that they were putting way too much faith into him. he kept putting himself down, but really, he was truly some kind of savior to the rowntree family.
he became the delivery boy for the rowntree family. it was his duty to deliver the flour bakery to bakery. he was kind while doing so, and he made marvelous first impressions. althalos was good with people, and people were good with him. he always jumped at a new opportunity to make new friends. soon enough the village knew him by his first name, not by his last name... or 'delivery boy'. he was respected in the small village. one day while he was making a simple trip to the bakery to deliver when he spotted something. it was a toddler, playing on the roof of a shack. the small child was slipping, and althalos wasn't about to let that happen. before the child could fall and hit the ground, althalos set the bags of flour down with quickness and agility thanks to his wolf side. the child fell, and instead of hitting the hard ground, he was saved by the flour... the rowntree flour. althalos thought it was what anyone would do, but apparently it wasn't. word got around, and soon enough the mill was getting more customers. flour that could save lives apparently appealed to the kingdom. before he knew it, the king and queen heard of this story as well. they sent a notice to the rowntree family to move to the capital where they would be granted a larger property to grow their crops, and althalos was granted the honor to learn just what it takes to be a blacksmith as the blacksmith's apprentice.
althalos is a kind boy, he's the kind of guy to always greet those in the city. he loves new chances to make new friends, but most of all he loves chances where he is able to go on an adventure. he's courageous when he wants to be, but a little closed off when he knows someone is a lot better than he is. he had a bad habit of putting himself down, and trusting other's far too easily. though he is big on trust, the only people he trusts with his wolf issue is his parents. he keeps that a secret from everyone else only because althalos is ashamed of his wolf side.
