COMPLETE THE REED FAMILY!

“This is my place, this is my life and we’re better than them. I’m better than anyone else.”

• Name: John ‘Johnny’ Reed
• Age: 24
• Occupation: Mechanic
• Species: Wolf (dark grey)
• Sexuality: Heterosexual
• Faceclaim: Chris Zylka

Here is Johnny Reed and it’s a name you should never forget or he’ll make you regret it. Everyone in Tala Springs knows his name and they hate it as much as they fear it, because Johnny is dangerous. He doesn’t mind stepping over people to get whatever he wants, using them in the process. You may think there is a sweet and actually caring guy underneath all the jerkiness, but there isn’t, he only cares about Emily. He’s a proper asshole and he doesn’t give a fuck about what anyone else thinks about it. He thinks that he’s better than anyone else anyway. As soon as he could, he quit the school and started working on what would be his passion, as much as he loves being a wolf, he also loves cars and motorcycles, so he started working in a small garage in town and his work now usually requires him to go to Tampa a couple of days a week, having now collected enough money to start his own business, yet he’s somewhat reluctant. Even though work seems to be good for him, he’s a trouble maker and you could say that he would have sex with every girl in town if it wasn’t because of hid loathe towards humans. Still, Johnny respects the wishes of the pack, even if he defies the alpha of the pack everytime he gets the chance to do so, which, unfortunately, is almost all of the time. The only thing which explains his stupid behavior, is the fact that he hates his cousin, Alec, they don’t have a good relationship, they’re always fighting. Johnny knows very well how to make his cousin’s patience wear thin, who also happens to be the beta of the pack and the son of the alpha. This only gives him more reasons to hate Alec, not to mention that despite the countless number of fights and the scars he has to prove them, most of the times, he ends up losing and being humiliated by his cousin, who isn’t only stronger but younger. Then, again, there might be another reason to explain this behaviour. And that is Matt.

Johnny was used to playing the big brother role until he couldn’t stand Matt’s bullshit anymore, he couldn’t breathe, he needed air, his own espace and his own life. He was tired of taking care of him, of warning him, of having to get him out of trouble. He really does love his siblings, Emily and Matt, but he just couldn’t deal with it anymore. He had no more energy. He gave up and moved to live on his own when he was about twenty, aware of the tragic consequences that this could have on Matt. Everything happened as he had predicted and he not only hates himself for what has happened to Matt, but he loathes his own brother, because of the crazy monster he has turned out to be, the shame of his family, the shame of the pack. They didn’t have a hard life, no reasons to turn out being problematic children, their uncle gave them everything they needed and they were happy with it. They even had a happy childhood and Johnny doesn’t understand how his brother ended up turning into a monster, denying his nature and damning himself to live a cursed life. Now he refuses to think of Matt as his brother. Having only Emily to take care of, Johnny convinced her to move in with their cousins, Isabelle and Jane, even if that implies that she has to live with Alec, leaving him alone.

• Brother of Emily and Matt and cousin to Jane, Isabelle and Alec.
• Wants to seduce Ashley, knowing how hard to get she is.
• Used to date Chloe until he cheated on her.
• Friends with Brandon, not knowing that he’s the poacher.

“I’m going to find out what those monsters are and then they’ll see what I’m capable of..”

• Name: Mary Anne Prescott
• Age: 20
• Occupation: Secretary at the warehouse and drug dealer
• Species: Human
• Sexuality: Heterosexual
• Faceclaim: Jessica Lowndes

Some people spend a whole lifetime looking for something they are good at, happiness or just the life they’ve always wanted because let’s not try to deny it, we’ve all had some dream life we wanted and Mary Anne had it. Even if she’s only 20, she had everything she wanted, a big house, money, the parties, the friends and the place. Mary loved Miami and her parents making both her brother and her move to this new town is not only a punishment but also a joke. Her parents don’t know her well enough and they may think that she’s going to learn her lesson here in Tala Springs, but because of her dominant character and her charm, she plans on soon having all the town at her feet, especially the guys, who happen to be all surprisingly good-looking. She has yet to find someone who’s able to tame her and make her take the right direction. But the point is that she loves doing things her way and this is her way of doing things.

Mary Anne is not a bad person, she really isn’t, in fact she’s very friendly; she loves making friends and being surrounded by people, even if she had the bad habit of treating them as followers instead of friends. The reason why she was sent here was because she was getting used to take drugs, she’s not a drug addict, she can control herself and in fact, she’s not the one taking the drugs, she just sells them to her friends with Hunter’s help and she makes a lot of money from it. She also used to be famous because of the parties but now everything has changed for her and she’s trying to adapt to make her parents think she has changed and be able to come back to Miami. The good thing about being alone here with her brother is that she can control him and they can now sell drugs and do pretty much whatever they want. Mary may be starting to like Tala Springs.

While everyone else seems to be oblivious to the truth that some inhabitants of Tala Springs are hiding, Mary Anne is very close to finding the truth. That is she accidentally found about it. One of the night of full moon, she was getting high with her brother and some more people when she followed Matt, who happened to be with them, in the woods to see what he was doing but the drugs had hit him hard, just like to any animal and he half-shifted in front of her. Mary was very high but she still knows what she saw and she’s not stupid, ever since she saw that, she’s been paying attention to pretty much everyone in town and also becoming a little paranoid, thinking that the town is full of monsters. That is only because she had the bad luck of finding Matt, who is stuck in his human body and can’t shift back completely. Since it was dark, she still doesn’t know what she saw but she definitely is writing down the names of people who seem to behave in a not so normal way and keep an eye on them. What does she plan to do about this? It’s also pretty simple, get money out of this. If she has to call a newspaper or blackmail someone, she’s going to do it.

• Sister to Hunter.
• Has nothing against the people of the town
• Doesn’t like Matt and very wary of him
• Suspicious about Evan, Vanessa, Kaylee, Ashley and Alec.

“I was stupid and now I’ve lost everything I had.”

• Name: Matthew ‘Matt’ Reed
• Age: 23
• Occupation: Dishwasher at the diner.
• Species: Wolf (brown)
• Sexuality: Homosexual
• Faceclaim: Evan Peters

Matthew is one of the dark secrets of Tala Springs, he’s not only the shame of the Reed family but of the pack he used to belong to and of the graced animals. Point is Matt can’t complain about the life he has had. He had a happy childhood, surrounded by a family who loved him, with pups and kids of his age to play with. His parents gave him everything he asked for and he would always be smiling and giggling. Emily would always play with him and Johnny would be always watching over them whenever his parents were too busy. But there had always been something wrong with him and Johnny was the only one who seemed to notice how his brother was changing and how there was something weird going on with him. He was the only one who noticed how every full moon and every night, he would resist the change and the urge to hunt, he would always resist his true nature during the night. During the day, he would switch between his human and his wolf self without any problem, he would go play and hunt as a pup but the nights were like a stressful nightmare for both him and Johnny.

Never liking what he was, never accepting it, Matt always felt as if he was neither a wolf nor a human, trapped between two opposite worlds and loving one more than the other. It only happened that he loved the wrong one, the one that he didn’t actually belong to: the human world. The feelings, the way they behaved and interacted, he wanted everything. Matt didn’t want to belong to a pack, to stand someone giving him orders, even though he seemed to accept them. He never understood that instead of being trapped between two worlds, he was a wolf who had been graced with being able to take a human form to understand the humans and be able to live among them, teaching them to respect the nature. He always thought that he was some sort of hybrid and that he had the chance to make a choice.

Not listening to the legends and to his own brother, who warned him about the consequences of what he was trying to do, after the death of his parents, he found himself struggling and wanting to be a human more than anything. That was his doom. He fought his animal nature and soon enough, when he was eighteen, he found that he wasn’t able to turn into a wolf at will and that only during the nights of the full moon, his body would struggle with to keep his human form, yet try to switch to the wolf one, becoming what would be called a werewolf. Matt, as the years passed, lost his sanity completely like any were-animal.  Unstable at the least, he has anger issues, constant mood changes and hunted by paranoia. He became the shame of the pack and because of the choice he had made and therefor dishonoring the gift he had received, he was banned from the pack and no graced animals would even acknowledge his existence. He is not allowed to leave Tala Springs, he wouldn’t do it even if he could, since the pack has still an eye on him considering he’s a threat towards them. If, for some reason, someone ever saw him during the nights of full moon, their secret would be revealed and soon the hunt would start. No one, not even humans, usually talk to him, mainly because they think he’s crazy and this only leaves Emily, his younger sister as the one who takes care of him from time to time. Right now Matt only wishes he could go back to what he was, finally discovering that he had been wrong all the time and that he should have listened to his brother.

• Brother to Johnny and Emily
• Cousin to Isabelle and Jane
• Disowned and left aside by the pack and the graced animals

“Life’s a bitch but I’m not.”

• Name: Emily Reed
• Age: 20
• Occupation: Nurse student.
• Species: Wolf (blond and cream)
• Sexuality: Heterosexual
• Faceclaim: Jennifer Lawrence

Having a pretty fucked up family hasn’t made Emily change at all and she’s determined not to let it affect her in any possible way. She’s strong, just like her cousins and she doesn’t want to be a victim, instead, she tries to adapt and overcome.  Just because one of her brothers is crazy and the other one is an asshole, even though he really cares about her, doesn’t mean she has to be a bitch. Her parents being dead isn’t a big issue for her either, she adores her cousins and getting to live with them is the best thing that could have ever happened to her. Not only does she gets the protection of the alpha of the pack, but she has her role-models right there: Isabelle with the way she’s able to connect with humans and how she is so motherly and caring and Jane, because of her intelligence and her entirely different points of view. Emily wants to learn from them and follow into Jane’s footsteps by becoming a nurse some day, someone who will be able to take care of the pack. There is no point in denying it, but she’s pretty ambitious and one of her dreams is to become the alpha female of Tala Springs’ pack. She knows that role should belong to Isabelle and her mate but if she has to leave her family for a new pack she would. She doesn’t feel rejected, she’s just pretty ambitious.

There is also someone else in her life whom she loves dearly, more than her own brothers and more than her cousins and that happens to be Alec. Ever since he arrived to town, they became best friends. Emily’s barely one year younger than him, but if it wasn’t because of that, they would almost be like twins. Always spending time together when she’s not too busy studying or Alec isn’t working. He’s special and she’s able to tell why, he’s somewhat the opposite of her brother Matt and of course hates the fact that Johnny is trying to provoke him constantly, making her feel torn on where she should lay her support. At this point, it’s pretty obvious that beside considering him as her own brother, she has a very silly crush on him, simply because no matter what, he always has a smile for everyone. For her. No wonder she gets so angry every time she heard someone calling him retarded or insulting him.

Leaving her ambition aside, Emily is a sweetheart. She’s a dreamer and she loves spending time in the woods as either a human or a wolf, meaning she really loved being a graced wolf and she understands, unlike her brother, that being able to change and become a human for the day is a gift which he has to use in his favor. Usually, people are a bit taken aback by her attitude, despite being so sweet, she’s also a bit of a dork, always speaking very loudly with animated gestures and above everything else, being plain honest. Emily doesn’t understand how some people don’t want to hear the truth but she will always say what on her mind and be honest no matter what. What she doesn’t get is how the simple truth, something that avoids future discussions and further lies, can make so many people feel uncomfortable, especially the humans. Even though she doesn’t like to scare people away from her by making them feel uncomfortable, she’s not going to change her ways because just as she’s straightforward, she just thinks that it is the right thing to do. Emily has established her own rules in the game and it’s her way to go on.

• Younger sister to Matt and Johnny
• Cousin to Isabelle and Jane
• Her best friend is Alec on who she also has a small crush
• Friends with Christian and Chloe
