    [size=7pt]Dashell leaned against the outside of a pub, the smell of alcohol heavy in the air. Inside he could hear racuous roars, crashes, and bangs as men tussled, sang, and drank until they couldn't do much else. His father was inside; the only reason Dash was even here. Sighing, he glanced around the small town, prehaps because there was nothing better to do. Across the street were small, run-down warehouses and shops, selling things liked canned goods and jewlery. The paint was peeling on most of them and on one, Sally's Barber Shop, the wooden sign was rotten and sagging. All the windows of the shops were dirty and needed cleaning, and none of them had a sign of any kind pronouncing the business open. It was dark outside, though, the only light from the moon and street lamps, so they were probably closed anyway.


    Sighing once more, Dashell tapped his foot, getting antsy. His Dad had promised they would go in a few minutes, after he'd had one last drink. But mostly likely one drink had turned into four. Givings a grunt of frustration, Dash was just about to stalk back into the pub when he saw a girl. She was walking all alone down the street, and seemed to know where she was going, though she looked wary. Deciding a lady should not be walking alone at this time of night—and espically in a town like this—he decided to accompany her. His Dad could wait. Peeling off the wall and walking over to the girl, he smiled charmingly. "Hello. Might I ask why your walking all alone?"[/size]

    [size=7pt]"Well, aren't you just so clever." His tone teasing, Dashell flashed her a playful smile. Though he didn't even know the girl's name, he was being awfully friendly—probably because he had never been anything else. Dash was a people person, to say the least. "I'm Dash. And I just want to make sure you didn't get mugged on your way home, if that's alright. Your a lady, afterall." Ouch. As soon as he said it, he wanted to shove the words back down his throat. He hadn't meant that girls couldn't fend for themselves, only that there were bad men in this town. Drunk men who would do things to her—bad things.[/size]

    [size=7pt]Dash shrugged, looking unconvinced, but didn't say anything. "Very well, m'lady," he said, grinning. Safe travels, then." He probably sounded mature for an 18 year old, calling her a lady and all that, but it was how he had been raised. Along with the slaying of werewolves, he had been taught proper etiquette. Giving her a nod and another charming smile, he turned on his heel and walked back toward the pub. But he wasn't really going to go in there searching for his dad; he had a plan. As soon as the girl was far enough down the road, he would follow her. Just to make sure she stayed safe.


    And maybe, also, because he had a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach. An instinct. And he had learned to trust his instincts.

    Name;
    Dashell Zackary Penny


    Age;
    16 years old


    Gender;
    Male


    Personality;
    Extreamly shy at first and not much of a talker, yet very kind and lovable, Dash is a nice boy. He has a certain naive innocence that makes him adorable, and even in the midst of tragedy is always putting others' needs in front of his. Never does he get mad—or even annoyed, really—and seems to have infinite patience. He is nothing but a kind, gentle soul, and has this steady way of being. As if he'll always be there to catch you when you fall. He is like a guardian angel, but somehow has no friends. Probably because not many teenagers have the same interests as him. He loves old, classical rock stuff and alternative music, while most kids now and days are listening to pop and rap. He loves academics, espically math, but most teens hate that, too. And he won't cuss at all. He was raised as a gentleman, and is rather stubborn when it comes to morals. He won't break his moral code for anything, and though he is generally a go-with-the-flow, peaceful person, he is surprisingly easy to anger if you push the right buttons.

    History;
    Dashell was raised fairly normally....at first. He had a mother and a father and an older sister, Lesa. But as time wore on, his family started to split. His father divorced his mother when he was 4 years old and Lesa was 8. Dash went with his mother and Lesa with their father.

    Roleplay Sample (three or more sentences);
    "Dashell, what do you think the answer is?" Silence. Everyone in the classroom turned their heads to look at that weird kid, the one who always sat in the back of the class and never said a word. Most teachers didn't even realize the kid was there half the time; he was a shadow. Dash's eyes were wide as he stared at Ms. Zuckerburg, feeling the burning gazes of his peers on him. They wanted him to say something. They wanted him to say something now. "I...uhm...2,567." His voice was so quiet everyone had to strain to hear. Blushing, Dash lowered his gaze quickly and proceeded stare at the text book open in front of him. Then, when it had been discerned what he had said, Mrs. Zuckerburg cleared her throat. "Correct," she said, and Dashell could hear the smile on his face.



    [Size=12pt]I'm making another guy![/size]

    [size=7pt]Following her from a ways away, Dashell was like a shadow. He had been trained to track werewolves, beings with senses much more sophisticated then that of a regular human, so following this girl was a piece of cake. Everything seemed to be fine—until she turned and headed for the woods. Did she live out there? Frowning, Dash continued following, now just a little curious. The feeling in his gut was still there, but he could not identify it. All he knew was that following this lady was the right thing to do. As she melted into the dark trees, he hurried to catch up, not wanting to lose her in the forest. He was still silent though, like a graceful deer. [/size]


    DASH


    [size=7pt]Dash thought about it for a moment, then grinned. He had a mischevious spark in his eyes; the spark that made teachers suspect him for everything. "I got it. Let's do Truth or Dare. I mean, what kind of party would it be without that?" After he said that though, Dash quickly added, "And if you refuse to do the dare or tell the truth, you get a penalty. Like....shoving icecubes in your underwear or something." He looked at Aliyana, then Mason, then everyone else, hoping they'd be up for it.[/size]




    ERIN


    [size=7pt]As Dash mentioned Truth or Dare, Erin bit her lip. The prospect of answering questions gave her goose bumps. What would they ask? Hopefully something simple like "who's your celebrity crush?" Hopefully, nothing personal. She could definitely do a dare though. Despite her shyness and quiet demeanor, she was a brave girl. Not much scared her....except people.[/size]

    [size=7pt]Dashell had climbed a tree to make traveling easier, quicker, and quieter. It was very hard to walk noiselessly on dried leaves and debris, quite frankly, and he loved being up high. Unlike most people, Dash wasn't afraid of heights. He loved heights. Smiling as he leaped from a pine tree to an oak, muscles pumping, Dashell landed lightly and in a crouched position, steadying himself before standing up on the broad branch. He watched as the red haired girl suddenly stopped, and leaned on the tree trunk. There was a curious light in his eyes; he wanted to see what this girl would do. Suddenly, the feeling in his stomach intensified. What the heck? Frowning, he continued to watch.
    Wait....what? No way. As he watched the girl morph, Dash realized what his initial instinct had been, and what his gut had been telling him all along. This girl was a werewolf, and now he was going to be expected to hunt her down and kill her. Then, thats when he lost his balance. As Dash fell the branches bellow slowed his descent, but he eventually landed with a crash on a bush of some kind. The impact wasn't horrible or jarring, but it wasn't terribley pleasant, either. Groaning softly, Dash lay there for a moment before slowly sitting up and then shuffling to his feet. He turned, and there she was in wolf form. Staring straight at him.
    Well, this was just great. So much for being a noiseless shadow.

    Dash is a musician and a book worm. He breaths music and plays the piano, and is probably the smartest teenager you'll ever meet because all the stuff he reads. But some of his major flaws are his clumsiness, how uncoordinated he is, and lack of artistic skill. He does hate sports, truth be told, but despite his ineptness, loves art. He loves photography, though he doesn't have the talent for it, and any others form of art, espically architecture.

    History;;
    Dashell was raised fairly normally....at first. He had a mother and a father and an older sister, Lesa. But as time wore on, his family started to split. His father divorced his mother when he was 4 years old and Lesa was 8. Dash went with his mother and Lesa with their father.


    [size=7pt]"Uh..you can drop me off here Mom. I'll be fine." Dashell's voice was soft as he spoke to his mother, who was holding back tears as she stopped the car in front of the school. For a moment she just sat there, clutching the steering wheel so hard her knuckles turned white. Dash could see the tears whelling in her eyes. This was so hard for her. "Oh, my baby! What am I gonna do without you?" She smiled and turned to him, laughter causing the tears to finally fall. Most parents didn't get this emotional when they sent their kids off, but Dash could understand. He was all his Mom had. Smiling back at her, he let her wrap him in a hug and give him a kiss; it was the least he could do. "I love you, too Mom," he said. She laughed once more, a high melodic laugh, then broke their embrace, holding him by the shoulders as she gazed into his eyes. His mom had beautiful sea green eyes, while he had plain blue eyes, though she often told him they were the color of the ocean. "I am so proud of you, Dash, okay? I love you so much. I'm just so proud of you. Ohhhh, my baby boy's growing up!" More tears, more hugs. It lured a small chuckle out of Dashell, but he knew he couldn't stay any longer. He had to do this. "Mom, I know. I love you too, and I'll make you proud. But I have to go, okay?," he told her gently, resting a hand on her shoulder. His mother nodded, biting her lip, tears still sliding down her face. Nodding as well, Dash got out of the car. He had a shoulder bag slung over his shoulder and a black suitcase for luggage; not a lot. Closing the door behind him and waving one last time to his mother, he watched her pull away.


    He just hoped she'd be alright without her. Giving a small sigh, he turned and headed toward the school, looking at the small slip of paper that said his dorm number. Room 5, it said. Walking towards the school, he saw a girl in front of him, stopping in front of the building before walking in. She had been talking on the phone with someone, and had a sort of accent. But it was more then that. She talked differently from most girls....seemed more...he couldn't put his finger on it. Shrugging, Dash entered the school, walking to his dorm. He was behind the girl, but didn't want to talk, so dug out his headphones and IPod. He blared the song "Foreplay" by Boston.[/size]

He has a certain naive innocence that makes him adorable, and even in the midst of tragedy is always putting others' needs in front of his. Never does he get mad —or even annoyed, really—and seems to have infinite patience. He is nothing but a kind, gentle soul, and has this steady way of being.

He won't break his moral code for anything, and though he is generally a go-with-the-flow, peaceful person, he is surprisingly easy to anger if you push the right buttons.


    He can sometimes get very overwhelmed though and has breakdowns if he is around to many people, due to his powers, and so usually avoids social interaction as much as possible. It's just that he can't take everyones thoughts in his head all at once, and doesn't have enough control to block out the things he doesn't want to hear yet.


    History:
    He was born to a normal family, but was somehow different. Even at a young age, he could hear people's thoughts as if they had spoken to him. And just by looking at someone, he could see their memories, like a movie in his head. His mom and dad found out when he was 7 years old, and knew they had to protect him. But they died when he was 11 in a car crash. So he was orphaned, put in a foster home, supposed to hide who he was. Then the X-Men found him, and took him in.


    Power(s):
    He is a telepath, and thus can read minds as well as examine your memories. He can also manipulate your mind and make you see things that aren't there, or make you not see things that are there, but isn't quite skilled enough to pull it off yet.

    [size=7pt]Dash joined the circle, a grin still on his face. He glanced back at Erin, who still sat on the couch, a hesitant look in her eyes. Before he could say anything, though, she gave him a glare and sat down beside him cross-legged. Obviously, she didn't need anymore reassurance. His grinning widening, he elbowed Er playfully. She flashed a small smile and rolled her eyes at him. "Alright then, is that everyone?," Dash asked.[/size]



    DASHELL & ERIN PARKINSON


    [size=7pt]"Hey Dash?" Silence. A bounce of the ball. "Yeah?" A pause. Another bounce. "I—I wanted to ask if you could take me to the music store. I mean, if it isn't a bother or—" Erin was interrupted by a grinning Dash. "You kidding, Smalles?," he said. "Of course I'll take you!." The boy discarded the basketball he had been dribbling by throwing it at the nearest bush, as if it didn't matter at all anymore, then turned to face his sister. His brown eyes were sparkling and eager, like a puppy who had just been offered a treat. Shaking her head, Erin had to smile. The two stood on the small basketball court in the Parkinson's backyard. The grey concrete under foot was smooth, newly finished, and the white court lines had been freshly painted. Erin studied the point where the grey court met lush green grass, and bit her lip, refusing to look at Dashell even though she could feel his eyes on her. God, she hated asking for favors. She hated charity and needing help, but seeing as she didn't have a car yet, and needed to go to the music store...well, there was no other way. Nodding, she turned and called over her shoulder, "Let's go then."


    They piled into the car, Dash in the drivers seat of the black Honda and Erin in the passengers seat. Fastening her seatbelt, Erin took a moment to marvel, once again, at how nice the interior of the vehicle was. Plush black leather seats, a built in speaker system and radio, spotless black carpet, tinted windows; gosh, it made her wish she had a car. But seeing as she was a year younger then her brother, 15 years old to be exact, and wasn't yet old enough, she would have to wait. "To the music store! But first, how 'bout some rocking tunes, huh Smalles?." Giving a chuckle, Dash turned on the radio and blasted "Life is a Highway" by Rascal Flatts before puts his keys in the ignition. Then they were off. Erin laughed as Dash sang at the top of his lungs, his voice purposely girly and screechy. Her brother could always make her laugh—espically when she didn't want to—and was probably the goofiest person she knew. He wasn't afraid to make a fool of himself and had twice the amount of confidence she did.


    When they arrived at the music store, Dashell parked the car in a parking space and then pulled the keys out of the ignition. Erin climbed out of the vehicle and closed the passenger door behind her, waiting for Dash to lock the Honda before heading into the store. She didn't like leaving her brother—both for her sake and his. He had always helped her with her issues, ever since she was 10 and the Parkinsons had adopted her. Erin had come from a bad family. Admittedly, she had been abused by both her parents before they died in a shooting, and had cousins that would tease her and beat the crap out of her as well. Because of it she had trust issues, depression, and a whole bunch of other things caused by the trauma and whatnot. But the Parkinson's had helped her overcome her past, they still were, and Dash, being the awesome step-brother he was, had welcomed her instead of shying away from her. He was probably the biggest reason she could now at least talk to people. But Dashell had his own problems. Sometimes he got carried away, or did foolish things, or didn't use his head. He was like a large, innocent, naive baby, and needed a guide hand—someone to remind him of what was the right thing to do.


    Maybe it was weird that Erin wouldn't even go into the store without him, but the two were just that close, even if they had only been siblings for four years. Finally, after fumbling with the keys, Dash locked the car and walked with Erin into the store. As the entered the building, cool air conditioning washed over the two, and both sighed in relief. It was hot outside; it was summer outside. "Hey, look at this piano D—" Thwack. Erin was going to say, in her soft voice, her step-brothers name, but bumped into someone instead. She had been looking at Dashell instead of where she was going, and apparently had walked into someone admiring the piano as well. Rubbing her head where it had collided with the other person, she finally looked up at them. It was a boy. A cute boy. Her throat closed up, and for a moment all she could do was stare. Her eyes drifted to a girl who stood a little ways away, apparently leafing through CD's, and then focused her gaze once more on the boy. "I-I I'm so sorry. Are you alright?" she asked, frowning.


    Then Dash and the girl started towards them. "Hey, you alright, Er?" Dash asked her, concerned. She nodded absent-mindedly, still staring at the boy. Oh god. She had to stop staring. Then the girl was there, behind the boy, and she glanced up at her. Dash did the same, and for a moment he felt weird. A strange tingling. But he shook it off.



    [ sorry it's crappy, I didn't know how to start xD ][/size]

    [size=7pt]"Hey!!! No, stop!!" Cursing, Dash ran after her, but it was hard keeping up with a werewolf. She had four legs, him two. But it was a good thing his name fit him. He was very fast and agile. "Crap, crap, crap!! She can't go that way, or my Dad will find her. He has the detector!!," Dash muttered to himself as he sprinted through the woods after her. His father had a device that could identify any werewolf energies nearby, and it would be notifying him of a certain energy any moment now. Dash couldn't just let her die; this was different. Most werewolves his family hunted were killers, a danger to society. But this girl was so innocent. [/size]

    [size=7pt]Dash almost ran past her, as he was sprinting so fast, but skidded to a halt in front of her. When he saw her tears, his gaze softened. "It's okay, I promise I won't hurt you. But my family will if they find out about you. So you have to run, you have to get out of here." His tone was urgent but gentle, as he didn't want to make her cry again. Then, it occurred to him. He didn't even know this girls name; then again, maybe it was best not to. But he asked anyway. "If I may, miss, what is your name?"[/size]

    [size=7pt]Giving a wry smile, Dashell stared into her eyes. They were mesmerizing; orbs of luminous gold. "Oh your very welcome, Miss Lilla," he replied, tone serious but eyes filled with amusement. "Anyway, I'm serious. We need to get you some place safe.[/size]

    [size=7pt]Dashell sighed. She wasn't getting it; it wouldn't just be his father coming after her, but the whole family. And they would definitely be equipped. "No, you don't," he agreed, following her gaze. "I'm Dash. But, trust me, if you stay here you will not be fine."[/size]

    [size=7pt]Dashell did as she said, but didn't back up too far. "Have you ever stopped your transformation?" he inquired. He was an odd boy, curious even at a time like this. [/size]
