“* ˙ ˖ [ TAYLOR KINNEY + CISMALE + HE/HIM ] - Did you hear about AUGUST "AUGGIE" PRATTES, the 35 year old OMEGA werewolf ? Well, I heard that they can be IMPULSIVE and CANDID, but also RESOURCEFUL and LOYAL. HE belongs to PRATTES PACK and have a SKULL on their wrist, which matches NIAMAH TUESDAY. let’s hope they can keep the peace!
August is one of many born werewolves into the Prattes family, their mother is the alpha of the pack and their father the beta. The family are incredibly close and supportive which meant it was easy for each of them to get a handle of their turning and abilities.
He’s now ex military - was in the service working with bombs since the age of 21, using his heightened senses much as a trained bomb dog would in order to find bombs before they could do any damage. Because of this August saved many lives, and though they would never admit it to anyone else the entire squadron knew there was something extra about him. They were all grateful he was there putting his life at risk with them, no matter what he was. And then about 5 years ago the worst happened, while August is normally pretty quick at picking out the bombs this time he was too slow, as a last ditch attempt he harnessed some of his supernatural abilities and was able to shove the other soldiers out of the way of the blast. This left him missing a leg from above the knee and with shrapnel lodged in his back, but no one else was injured beyond a few scratches and bruises. Though he healed faster than most it was still a huge adjustment for him, now he walks around with a prosthetic leg and a medal for his act of bravery,
Touch his motorbike and u lose a hand. Scratch it u die.
A year after leaving the army and returning home to his family the worst happened, a young woman in the town had been killed by an “animal” of which the strange family living at the edge of the woods became scapegoats of. Originally indenting to ride it out since they were innocent the plan changed with the death of their father, the packs beta. He had been jumped on his way home from the bar, overpowered he had succumbed to his injuries (though the family believe it was the act of the actual murderer, a new werewolf who had moved into town).
This is when the family fled to Eden hoping to find sanctuary amongst their own kind, in the four years since they have opened up a cross between hostel/homeless shelter which is simply named The Safe House. It is a free lodging for people who need it, essentially refugees and newbies who arrive into Eden with no where to stay yet, much like they had originally. It is open to all species - though there are strict rules in place that all rivalries between supernaturals are NOT accepted it is a safe place for all, don’t be fooled by the fake limb August will still kick you out if needs be. (i’d love plots from people who stayed in the safe house when they arrived)
With the beta of their pack dead it was time for one of the children to step up and take their fathers place, of which August attempted to do but his war wounds put him at a great disadvantage and so one of his brothers won out. Though August will always respect the power roles and his family there is a part of him that is bitter about his injuries making him less able to do his duty as a werewolf.
Even with the injuries August pushes himself literally to the limit, his knee will be red raw and screaming in agony before he will even think about stopping. Also, despises his crutches but has to use them a lot when the spot of amputation swells up and won’t fit in the prosthetic. In general he channels all this into working really hard on the renovation and expansion front for the safe house until he is falling over exhausted, but he won’t let anyone know that.
