Name: Charlie Jones
Nickname: CJ
Age/Gender: 19
Experiment #: 075
Scent (once a scent is used, it can't be used again unless with pups): Leather
How did you arrive at the facility?: Committed assault
Human Appearance (please put a realistic face claim):
Charlie is around 6'2" and has a decently muscular build
Wolf Appearance (realistic wolf):
Mate (trainees cannot have mates): Undecided
Crush: Undecided
Pups: None (yet?)
Rank Wanted: Warrior
Personality (Optional): Charlie is overprotective of those he considers defenseless. He'll often step into situations he has no business being a part of and people usually get hurt. Other than that, he's usually fairly talkative and likes having someone to spend time with because he hates loneliness. He tends to be fairly bad around children so he'll generally avoid them. He is also something of an "adrenaline junkie" but the only way he seems to be able to get that adrenaline is through fighting so he'll find any reason to get into a fight (real or friendly).
Backstory (optional but brief): Charlie was dropped on the streets by his parents before he turned 2, and he spent his life alone. The streets made him tough and taught him how to fight. He made a number of friends thanks to his insistence on fighting for people he barely knew, which helped him get food and a place to sleep every night. Charlie refused to join any sort of group or gang because he felt like he was better getting into trouble alone and didn't need to drag others into his issues. One day his friend stole some snacks from a grown man who gave chase. Long story short, Charlie jumped in and was pulled off the man. The man wasn't very hurt but he was clearly angry, and the authorities decided they'd take him to "jail," which is how he ended up in C.A.N.I.S. testing.

Character Sheet
Name: Gweir Averos
Nickname: N/A
Age/Gender: 21/Male
Experiment #: #054
Scent (once a scent is used, it can't be used again unless with pups): Rust-Aconitum
How did you arrive at the facility?: Gweir was approached by people in white coats, offering to pay for a chance to get out of a poor neighborhood. Gweir, being desperate and frustrated with his current condition, agreed. Somewhat skeptically, mind you.
Human Appearance:
Gweir is tall, and thin. He stands at 6’ 3”, and he weighs an astounding 185 pounds. His skin is slightly pale, and he has plenty of darker areas here and there. He has black hair, though he colored a streak of it white. Just to stand out among others. His face has a couple of scars and pockmarks on it, due to his upbringing. Could he be considered handsome? A tentative yes, although one could point out that his face is sallow, his eyes are too calculating, his skin is sickly pale.
All in all, some might call Gweir a nerd, based on his looks, or a runner. He doesn't have that many noticeable muscles; he can't seem to gain fat, but neither does he seem to gain muscle, either. (Much to his private mourning.) The only place where it seems like he has a concentration of muscle is in his legs; he is very much a runner, thanks to playing a midfielder position often in soccer (or futbol. Whatever floats your goat.)
Gweir also likes to wear dark clothes, normally a black colored jacket with black jeans and black military boots. Call him Goth or Emo, but he just prefers dark colors- black, in particular- over all other colors.
Wolf Appearance (realistic wolf):
Mate: None
Crush: None
Pups: None
Rank Wanted: Scout
Personality:
Gweir is quiet person, preferring to speak only when spoken to; this leads to him having an academic, and slightly predatory, air about him. As such, people tend to look upon him with suspicion when he speaks. Not that his reputation his not entirely undeserved- after all, he can be a slight sadist- in the intellectual manner- in addition to enjoying the thrill of the hunt.
However, this is not to say that he's an evil person. He does intend to do good, it is just that he oftentimes treats such struggles as games, people as chess pieces, and plans as strategies he can patiently rework over and over again. However, thankfully, he mainly keep his sadistic tendencies in check, though it does pop up at times (which is normally after he is winning a competition.), he ensures that it doesn't get in the way of his objectives.
However, despite Gweir's attempts to be morally good, that doesn't translate well into people skills. He tends to be cold and distant to most people, and even to friends he can seem a bit harsh. Furthermore, he can be quite ruthless when crushing an enemy or an annoyance. And annoyances can come to him quite easily, if achieved in the right manner.
Gweir is, despite all of these flaws, a loyal person. It's just that Gweir is a bit of a...tsundere when showing his friendship. He attempts to rationalize and justify his helping of friends for other reasons. He gives advice, but blusters-quietly- when someone points that out. Whenever he sees a friend in trouble, he will extend himself- and even push himself- to help them, even if he will deny the reasons afterwards.
An excellent way of gaining Gweir's friendship is to engage with him on an intellectual level. Though, that's not a guarantee, as he will sometimes find a person's argument... tiresome.
Backstory:
All of this is a WiP, however, I am almost done. Thankfully.

Name: Edwin
Age: 15
Gender: Nonbinary (pronouns: they, their)
Experiment #: 68
Scent: Lime
Human Appearance:
Wolf Appearance
Mate/Crush: None
Pups: None
Reason for intake:
Selling Drugs
Rank: Trainee
Personality: Known to many as simply "A sneaky little sh*t," that's the quickest way to describe Edwin. They are very selfish, sly, and manipulative. Their parents were actually relieved when Edwin disappeared because they no longer had to worry about standing up for their child in court every summer as they had for the last six years. Edwin is the kind of person who always shows up at the worst times and will only stand up for someone if something good will come of it. A lot of Edwin's unscrupulous might be chalked up to teenage drama too. If it wasn't clear enough, they struggle with finding themselves and make up for that with narcissistic tendencies.
Backstory: Edwin is the second out of three children. The oldest and youngest child are well-adapted, respectable boys, almost stereotypical in their interest of sports and girls. Her parents were well-rounded and encouraging individuals and a close couple. Edwin was born as a girl, but started to have an identity crisis at the age of nine when she was assaulted by a high school cheerleader. Their parents never found out about this incident. Edwin grew distant and isolated, they began petty theft and sold what they reaped. Shortly after their fourteenth birthday, they found themself in the drug ring, trading and selling illegal and controlled substances. This is how they ended up in CANIS. Their parents are revealed that Edwin is being taken care of by an authority, and hope that CANIS will round our their lost daughter.

He does not necessary agree with the tactics that the guards use and the guards know better than to do anything inappropriate around him because he will step in. While he is loyal to the institute he still sees his fellow inmates as human, unlike so many of the other guards. His sense of right and wrong is warped, but he is not aware of it.

Hmmm well I think the only two who might be on are me and eliruz. You could overhear someone talking about escaping, I think poppy and maybe james are talking about it or go into line and speak to Alexander. Or wait for nearly to get on and talk to one of their characters.
