Meet Seamus O'Neall, a cocksure young man who is most likely to describe himself along the lines of, "a devilishly handsome young man with a witty sense of humour." or alternately, "a woman's ultimate fantasy." Of course, this is when he is sober, as nowadays Shay tends to spend most of his time at the bottom of his cups.

Not unlike his doggy alter-ego, Shay is loyal and obediant, following the orders of those he considers 'higher ranking' than him with little persuasion. However, do not take him for an idiot; although he is not the most academic (he cannot read and write), Shay has plenty of common sense and can smell a liar or a fake from a mile off.

His arrogance is not one that is intentionally malicious or annoying, it is simply part of his personality. Shay exudes confidence and has an execeptional amount of faith in his own abilities. Some may find his outgoing nature tiring, however his 'silver-tongue' and natural charm have often got him out of many unfortunate situations.

Shay is very protective of his friends and is a valuable friend and ally. He doesn't mind getting into fights - in fact rellishing the opportunity to scrap. He will never go out of his way to intentionally hurt his friends, and finds no pleasure in making enemies. Sadism is not a streak that sits within Shay's nature.

Shay's role within the community is a common huntsman, though he often boats to be the best around. He mainly works with traps and a bow, however sometimes with transforms into his magnificent Wolfhound form to chase down a deer or young elk. Shay has little time for his appearance and wears clothes that reflect such. A loose brown-woolen tunic over breeches and worn leather hunting boots are his usual attire. His hair is normally dishevelled, with a light growth covering his chin.

Upon first impression, Kat comes across as a bubbly, flirtacious shop owner. She is friendly and welcoming with a shy smile and large, innocent eyes. However, hidden behind her lips; her fangs are very much bared.

Kat is cold and cruel with a testing streak of sadism. She does not like to be in the limelight, much preferring to be in the background; likening herself to a puppetmaster pulling all the strings. Kat loves to watch arguments or direct confrontations - so long as they are not directed at her.

Everything Kat does is carefully planned, with much thought going into even the smallest of decisions. She will always try to find the way she can profit most from any situation, and somehow seems to always land on her feet. Her sense of humour is very accute, almost entirely consisting of sarcasm or intelligent wit.

Kat has yet to meet her match is the romance department. She detests weak or immature males, and that is the type that usually chase after her. She has been engaged twice and married once, though neither ended well. Both were arranged by her late father. She poisoned her first husband on their wedding night, a simple merchant - good enough for most, but not her. She inherited the shop. That bought her a few years in mourning before her father tried to sell her off to another - a farmer's son. This time she hired someone else to do her dirty work for her. However, despite her seeming commitment-phobia, Kat is naturally flirtatious, and uses this to her advantage. She seduces the opposite gender in order to get what she wants, which in most cases, is information.

Kat's life goal is a rather superficial one; she craves power and greatness, in whatever form it may come. In her mind, it doesn't matter how she achieves it - however many people she may have to step on to get there.

She has established a successful little shop that deals in common goods, however although her official title is a 'Merchant' - she is known by some as a 'Procurer'. She is a specialist in finding whatever her client may be looking for and deals in trading hard-to-find items - whether it is rare items, prohibited items or simply secrets.

ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌｉｔｙ ;;
◁ ◀

Understanding. Brave. Charming. Loyal. Kind. Mysterious.

Thomas is a chivalrous young man trying to make his way in the world. He would never be able to walk past a family on the road without giving them something to get them by, like a few gold coins or piece of bread. Though currently homeless and without a family, he's usually in a pleasant mood. He's got a positive attitude - that life should be lived to the fullest and that no single life is meaningless. Some who meet him may call him an idiot for thinking there's 'good' in everyone, especially when his passion is to make it to the city of Falconmoor and become a knight or part of the king's guard.
His smile and laugh are contagious and warm; if he were not to be caught with a smile, you'd know if there would be something dreadfully wrong with him. Most think he had always been the bright, happy young man he is today but that isn't quite so. He's had a tiring, unfortunate life - not financially, surprisingly. He lost the people he loved and nothing ever got better after that. If, by any chance, you could find yourself as close to Thomas as a friend should be, ask him about his childhood.
Thomas is compassionate and sympathizes with others easily. That may be a gift but in a way could be a curse: he could be tricked easily if the sob story is convincing enough. He has a good sense of humour, as well. These are among his many good traits that he's learned to develop to keep him going with a chin held up and eyes bright. But everyone has their faults and Tom is certainly not perfect. He's got his dark side and it will only come out when he's provoked. Though he spreads around the 'everyone's got to have a heart' speech, he can really hold a grudge, especially if it's against someone who's hurt anyone he knew in anyway. The mix of good and bad traits are what make his shifter form absolutely perfect for someone like him. Once he's shifted, his actions could be unpredictable. He usually keeps to the shadows in his snow leopard form but because he's skulked around so much in the snow and learned to keep quiet, he's become quite the excellent stalker.
Tom doesn't speak of his past to anyone and that's why people wonder why he is the way he is. He's a mystery to anyone who meets him. He never brings up his parents or the home he left behind.

Lithe. Tall. Handsome. Ginger.

Thomas is a handsome young fellow, to put it simply. Something about his face can be so gentle but shadowed with that little hint of mystery causes people look at him twice when he passes by. His natural hair colour is a dark ginger that glimmers an orange-gold in the sunlight. When it's wet the shade shifts to much darker and goes a little curly. In the summer, it goes almost ginger-blond, now that he's not up north anymore. He's got smooth, pale skin for wearing so many layers all the time in a cold climate for most of his life. His most notable features are his sharp cheekbones, wavy hair and tall figure... and he is quite tall - about 6'2".
He's lean, but not 'skinny'. Tom's well muscled and stronger than he looks which is why people are so shocked when they learn why he's making his way to Falconmoor. When he was younger and once he got a job, he had no time to sit around. Whenever he had any time to himself, he was always exploring so Tom's fit and got a healthy figure. He's got quick reflexes and thanks to his size, he's very agile. Despite his height, he hardly makes a sound when he walks, just the same as when he's in his shifter form. Thomas has attentive, big blue eyes. They shift to a teal in direct sunlight under his long golden lashes.
In his feline form, Tom's fur is a greyish taupe colour dappled with black spots all over except his underbelly, under his tail, neck, and chest. Those are all white. He's got long, grey whiskers jutting out from his muzzle on either side of his rose-coloured nose. His huge eyes remain nearly the same except instead of a sparkly blue, they're a lovely blue-grey. Being a snow leopard and growing up in the northern climate, his fur is extremely thick and surprisingly soft. His paws are big and flat - perfect for walking silently on top of the snow (if it can hold him, of course). He's got big, white fangs and claws sharper than any sword he's tried to forge himself. Tom's tail, also dappled with spots over the top, is long and thick. He's a magnificent creature and his pelt is worth quite a lot to some; he had nearly been run down by a hunter wanting his skin, not knowing he was a shifter and not wild. Though he gives off the appearance as a gentle big cat, he's as dangerous as any other creature with claws and an appetite for meat.


ｈｉｓｔｏｒｙ ;;

◁ ◀ Tom's background is a sad but simple one. He was the only child born to ordinary middle class parents with a peaceful, good life. Edward and Gwen Ambrosius were their names. Except the only thing that wasn't ordinary was that his father had apparently lived in Falconmoor long ago, part of the wealthier middle class (which is why Tom was born with a carnivorous shifter form), and served as a knight there until he fell in love with Gwen. He had rescued her and a few others from bandits attacking along the border when she had tried to trade her supplies in Falconmoor for something else. Six months later, he moved to the town up north called Riverdale where Gwen lived and they married happily with a baby on the way soon after. It wasn't too small but small enough that everyone knew each other. Riverdale was nestled between a large river and the thick woods that led to the mountains. It was cold there almost all the time except for the few months of the year where it warmed up a bit before returning to it's icy nature. Tom's shifter form, being the snow leopard, helped him quite a lot as he spent endless winters outside.
Thomas' mother passed away when he was eight years old from a fever in the summer months. It broke Thomas' father's heart and he never took on another wife like other men did. Then he died ten years later in a wolf attack but not in vain. Edward had taught Thomas how to use a sword and bow and arrow over the years. Tom begged his father to tell him about Falconmoor and his job all the time when he was a boy. Apprenticing under the town's blacksmith, Tom made himself his own sword and fashioned a proper bow and set of arrows. Though not as fancy or strong as a real knight's weapons, they were good enough for him. Edward tried to practice with him from when he was sixteen until he passed away two years after that - Tom thought it only right to try to keep on practicing to be brave just like his father. Everyone in Riverdale called Thomas a dreamer. A fool. Of course, when they were alive, his parents never let anyone get away with it but the other boys made fun of him even until they were all young men. Tom didn't make any friends there. He was always different.
He had his mother's gentle eyes and compassionate heart but he also had his father's spirit. He never wanted to become a blacksmith. It was just a job and gave him a chance to make some weapons to practice with. So Tom left before he could take on the job a couple years after his father's passing - there was nothing in Riverdale for him after that. Though he loved it there - the beauty and peace of it - it was time for him to move on and do what he wanted. Thomas had wanted to be just like his father and that's what drove him to journey to Falconmoor.

Ariessa Wolfe

Have the courage to live. Anyone can die.
-Robert Cody

Just a taste.
Name: Ariessa Wolfe
Nickname: Ari
Description: Ari is a girl that is short in stature. She has straight black hair that reaches to the small of her back, and piercing hazel eyes. Though she is short though, she is in no way a presence easily ignored. She is lean and muscled from her job, making her generally look quite imposing. Her skin is slightly tanned, as she doesn't go out much in the day time except for a delivery.
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Job: Blacksmith, stationed in the village but also supplies weapons to the royals.
Shifts into: Spotted hyena


Things left unsaid...
Personality: Upon first glance, Ari is lazy. Laid back and relaxed, if she has nothing to do, more often then not she will end up napping or just lazing around. Adaptible, the girl is not usually seen panicking, and even if in a dire situation, she is usually seen with a laid back smile and a lighthearted chuckle. She is seen to just be quite a lot of a sloth. Not caring for titles, she treats everyone as equals, which basically means anyone who comes through the door will hear a casual "Yo." And the occasional degratory joke, whether a half dead beggar or the king himself. This incurs quite a lot of rage from the royals, not that she really cares. She doesn't really care what others think, to her if others want her respect, they have to earn it. Brutally honest, she never really lightens what she thinks or beats round the bush, calling things as she sees them. You want the honest truth, come to her. You might not like it, though.

Making people quite annoyed with her laidback nature, it seems only natural that she would be hated by quite a lot of the population. Yet, she isn't seen with any disrespect. You might wonder why, but it is simply because she has backbone. A lot of it. You want to see it, just try not listening to her or disrespecting her. Or even touching the merchandise-she's quite possessive over all her things. Naturally dominant due to her animal, Ari usually gives out casual commands that she expects to be followed. If you don't follow them, expect a lesson in pain. Skilled in fighting, she knows how to use all the things she makes, from a dagger to an axe. She hates being challenged, and will definitely rise up to the challenge, liking to be in charge of things. As such, she usually treats others as lower in position, and if you want her to stop being so dismissive, challenge her. If you want her respect, you have to earn it. She admires strong willed individuals, especially the self-sufficient kind. She is a hard friend to make, what with her lack of tact and laid back nature, but once you become a friend of hers, she extremely loyal, willing to go through heaven and hell for you.

History: Ari had a normal history really. Only child, mother died pretty young, and her father died when she was 17. Over the years, she has learned to take care of herself, and actually is making quite a lot of money nowadays, what with the war and all, everyone wants weapons and metal things, other then the usual horseshoe, though she tends to take pity on the occasional poor dude and give him an item free.

The little things...
Fears: Dying.
Loves: what she makes. Animals, and forests.
Strengths: she is an agile and versatile fighter, and she is very good at smithing(which is probably why the higher ranking people haven't tried to execute her or something by now.)
Weaknesses: a complete lack of tact means she isn't the most liked person in the world, really.

Ties that bind, ties that break.
Family: they died.
Children: none.

Random stuff I couldn't put anywhere else.
Other: she has a pet falcon, whom screams whenever anyone comes into the shop to wake her. It has been known to attack anyone whom tries to steal or touch her things without her allowing them to.
