                    FINGERS  WRAP  AROUND  THE  CURVE  of  delicate  wrist  ,  pulling  her  forwards  &&  towards  that  which  has  tension  building  at  the  base  of  her  skull  ,  in  the  pits  of  her  gut  .  (  worry  ,  it  simmers  ,  it  buzzes  round  her  ears  like  angry  mosquitoes  ——-  she  will  put  her  trust  in  alyssa  ,  but  that  does  not  mean  she  does  not  worry  all  the  same  .  )        ❝    ———–  does  nothing  ever  phase  you  ?   ❞   she asks  ,  breaking  the  silence  after  a  moment  as  their  feet  rustle  &&  crunch  against  the  leaves  &&  twigs  covering  the  forest  floor  .   

Humankind could never scare Alyssa, no matter what they looked like or how brutal they claimed to be. She was aware and cautious, hardly nonchalant. The flower girl had use, that was why Alyssa cared enough to keep her precious heart beating. Or at least that’s what she told herself. She had more morals than she’d admit, and had developed somewhat of an interest in the girl.  ❝ I’ve seen far worse than these creatures. I’ve fought what they’ll eventually turn into if they continue to blindly consume the flesh and blood of their kin. They’re more like maggots writhing around in a wound than they are a threat. Their next stage is what’s dangerous to me. ❞  Her voice was monotone, unconcerned and cold. They were being watched — sentinels followed, hiding among the shadows, moving silently. Distinctive smell, like that of a rotting corpse. She was being willingly lead into an ambush.

❝ Would you go away and leave me alone? I don’t want any trouble. ❞

GOLDEN COMPASS / SENTENCE STARTERS ( no longer accepting ) / @leondxs​

Alyssa scoffed, rolling icy eyes. ❝ Don’t be so weak. I’m not looking for trouble.❞   She was merely using him as a prop for her get away. The Bear had recently been fooling around with a noble human daughter, but was discovered in a recent turn of events. She needed to escape the village without being seen, which was easy enough to do considering how stupid humans were. This man was being used as an accessory, providing a shadow for her to blend into. 

They stood amidst the crowd of a market, Alyssa carefully hung onto his arm with her head bowed, keeping him close. ❝ I’ll make it worth your while if you help.❞ A grin spread about plump lips, hidden by the cover of her raven hair. It was quite exciting, she felt like a young reckless girl again. Just a shame she couldn’t get up to many harmless shenanigans these days.

BJORNCLAW’S SHIPPING CALL ;           does what it says on the tin. by liking this, I’ll come to talk to you about a possible ship between our characters. This can be platonic, enemies, romantic, love/hate etc! romantic relationships are exclusive to female characters only as Alyssa identifies as a cis lesbian. 

Please note: for romantic ships only, I will be keeping them in separate verses. I don’t like the idea of her being with two different people in the same verse cause personally that seems kinda sketchy to me. ( but i have PLENTY verses in mind so don’t worry about that ).

if you have any questions about Alyssa // her background // her verses, then please don’t hesitate to ask.

Unusual Friendship Between Wolf And Bear 

Documented By Finnish Photographer

Via Medieval Dreams

“It’s very unusual to see a bear and a wolf getting on like this” says Finnish photographer Lassi Rautiainen, 56, who took these surprising photos. The female grey wolf and male brown were spotted every night for ten days straight, spending several hours together between 8pm and 4am. They would even share food with each other. “No-one can know exactly why or how the young wolf and bear became friends,” Lassi told the Daily Mail. “I think that perhaps they were both alone and they were young and a bit unsure of how to survive alone…It is nice to share rare events in the wild that you would never expect to see.”

NEW VERSE: SKYRIM 

This verse is pretty similar to my main original verse in the way of who Alyssa is and what she’s doing. I’m sticking with the idea that she rules over a tribe of werebears, but she does so in the mountains around Winterhold. Alyssa often looks to expand her tribe’s living space by taking over different places around Skyrim. Winterhold is their main, largest home. They have different camps around Whiterun, Dawnstar and Falkreath. Although the groups that have split off from the main tribe are smaller, each are run by a trusted commander that Alyssa herself had chosen. They try to do no harm to humans, unless provoked. 

Alyssa’s tribe is at war with the Vampires ( thanks Molag’Bal ) and has been for a long time. Although now over the years the fighting has dwindled, there are still many problems between the two groups. Alyssa welcomes the idea of ridding Skyrim of Vampires and takes pride in killing them. For to her, they’re nought but evil ugly creatures. That’s pretty much the only conflict they really come across. Since they live usually so deep within forests or mountains, they’re quite hard to track down and thus tend to avoid a lot of violence. 

Alyssa has a duty towards her tribe, and often seeks to improve their living conditions by travelling Skyrim alone to make deals. Materials, foods, steel, iron. They’re all important things to have for such a large group of people. 

Unlike in other verses, Alyssa has little control over her Beast form. Whenever her heart beats too quickly and adrenaline starts to take over, it’s almost like a calling for the Werebear in her to come out. This results in massive anger issues, black outs, and the inability to even really be intimate with someone. Anything that excites her can set off a transformation, which is why she always seems so monotone and likes to be as relaxed as possible. She doesn’t rely on her Bear form to kill or be powerful, and so prefers not to use it unless she really has to. Alyssa is a skilled swordsman, a tactical thinker and a good hand to hand fighter. She has been Chieftain of this tribe for almost 200 years and counting. She has been challenged multiple times by even the strongest men but has not been beaten yet. If she was to be beaten, that would mean her reign as leader would be over and the winner would take over her duties. 

My character doesn’t just need lovers.

They need enemies that break them and force them to test their morals.

They need friends that will backstab them and hurt their feelings.

They need an enemy that will become a friend.

They need friends that they would lay down their life for.

They need people so close to them that they might as well be siblings.

They need fights and conflict and battles that could leave them broken and inches from death.

My character does not just need lovers.

“And I said to my body, softly. ‘I want to be your friend’. It took a long breath. And replied. ‘I have been waiting my whole life for this’.

                           THERE  ARE  STILL  FAR  TOO  MANY  QUESTIONS  buzzing  around  her  head  ,  but  she  remains  silent  ,  alyssa  acknowledged  by  a  swift  nod  .  (  it  is  best  not  to  argue  ,  &&  in  this  moment  ?  she  trusts  the  other  far  more  than  her  own  judgement  .  )     ❛❛   ————-  so  ,  you  have  encountered  them  before   ?   ❜❜  she  talks  of  the  rustles  ,  the  faint  smell  of  smoke  lingering  in  the  air  .  (  they  are  not  alone  .  )  

❝ Human, but tribesman. These people don’t take kindly to strangers, but this is the quickest way to pass through. ❞ It was dangerous, but they were only human. Alyssa was a beast and she’d see them decapitated should they attack. If she remembers correctly, these mortals feasted upon flesh of their own kind. She ought to keep the flower girl close if she was to pass through unharmed. Breathing a small sigh, she reached backwards, grasping one of the girls wrists.  ❝ You’ll be fine. ❞ Alyssa wouldn’t let her die here.

daedricprincesx‌ // AZURA .

▌ ▌ ☾ ☼  DUST & DAWN

the prince always find it curious when mortals ask where they come from. azura never questioned how she was created – she is far too busy watching after her creations && her followers. ❝ perhaps… ❞  azura answered her vague question. what could she, a immortal prince, learn from a mortal. perhaps SOMETHING. the prince walked around her && then sat down on a chair.

❝well, how would you know unless told? But, there are creatures like me, the daedric princes && then there are the —.❞ oh, how to describe them. the ones WORTHY of true worship (mortals would think). the ones in temples with the SUN RAYS on their stained windows. such a way to be worshiped YET…they are never seen nor do they speak to the mortals.

      ❝ the Aedra. The GOOD gods, if you will. they created you mortals,        but lost so much of their powers in the process. me && my fellow        princes did not HELP in your creation, so we kept all our powers.❞

❝ What was the point in creating mortal beings? ❞  Alyssa scoffed, reaching to fiddle with the fur at her shoulders. It was irritating her, knowing that humanity was created for no other reason than just to exist. Animals somewhat have purpose, one exists to feed another. But humanity? They did nothing but cause war, spread hatred and kill for sport. There was no real order to anything. Everything is spontaneous and random, a pointless way to live. And yet, so many people are so satisfied with that. They’re thankful for their lives and pray to the God’s that created them for little more than a joke. 

❝ We live like live stock but do not realise it. Humans fight amongst themselves, kill for little reason... All distractions from the fact that they aren’t in control, despite how much they like to think they are. You call me a mortal, but I’ve never associated myself with human kind. They’d all see me hung or burned at the stake. I want nothing to do with the plague of humanity. ❞  These Gods that had lost their powers as payment for the creation of mortals, were little more than idiotic. Why waste such a power for such a stupid reason? 

❝ You kept your powers? Then you’re smarter than I had first thought. If you have power, hold onto it. Even among Gods, I can imagine it comes in useful. ❞

NEW VERSE: VAN HELSING (based on the 2004 film Van Helsing)

THE RUNDOWN: 

A Skinchanger unlike anything before, one of a kind, unique. Alyssa is both Beast and Beast hunter, working to relieve the world from it’s evil blight. Unlike the Werewolves, she has control of the monster she becomes - using that to her advantage when it comes to killing. She is strong, fast and has an incredible knowledge of the great majority of evil creatures. She often takes on a head strong approach, preferring to run straight into the face of danger and challenge her enemies directly. That being said, Alyssa does occasionally plan ahead and make more tactical decisions.  

Living deep in the Valleys of Scotland, Alyssa has contacts enough to allow her to travel the world. Being a hunter, she has contact with many priests and churches. They’re the ones that tell her of targets and of people to protect. Being part unholy beast herself, coming in contact with Silver would be fatal. Thus, all of her weapons have been modified enough for her to be able to use efficiently. Although depending on what she hunts, the tools she uses can change, Alyssa tends to stick to a Silver sword, a flintlock pistol, two small concealed blades ( one silver and one steel ) and finally, a flask of Holy Water. 

There is only one night on which she does not, or at least tries not to hunt. The night of a Full Moon. Although Alyssa has somewhat control over her Lycantrophe form, a full moon will never fail to force her to change. Whether she likes it or not, there are a lot of things about her Beast nature she can’t control. No amount of science will change the fact that a silver blade could seriously harm her, or that the full moon will always turn her. On the night of a full mood, Alyssa tends to chain herself by whatever means she can. Either that, or she’ll find a means to cage herself. They are the only nights in the year that she loses control entirely. 

GENERAL / PERSONALITY INFORMATION: 

Name: Alyssa Renouf

Age: 103 and counting

Species: Werebear

Known Languages: English, Latin, Spanish & Swedish

Occupation: Hunter for the Knights of the Holy Order

Religion: Although she uses Catholic practices and Hunting methods, she is not a Holy woman. 

Personality wise, Alyssa is headstrong and impulsive. She enjoys the thrill of a fight and is merciless when it comes to killing. She is strong willed and will never give up, even if she odds are against her. She holds a lot of pride for her work as a Hunter and does it for no other reason than she thinks it is right and enjoys it.
