Species: Werewolf

Looks:

(Faceclaim: Andersen Reimer)
He's 6'4

Personality: Julius is as suave as they come - smooth, charming, polite. Southern charm and hospitality rolls off him in waves, and a southern twang to go with it. Flirtatious at times, he is the kind of man that all the old women fall over - the epitome of chivalry. But he also just flirts with every being he finds attractive - and let's just say the man isn't picky. He's relaxed and easy-going, and though that isn't necessarily just a front, there is far more to him than initially meets the eye. He is observant and well-trained in political matters. He's thoughtful and wise and he always thinks big decisions over - using his own wits and gathered observations to do so. Flirting gets him past certain defenses and allows him to access information he otherwise wouldn't be able to. Not seemingly malicious - which he isn't - he can be quite coy and cunning. But he is always just doing what he thinks is best, for his pack and himself. He's still learning how to be Alpha - and he accepts his mistakes with grace, and moves on, learning from them as he goes along. Willing to admit when he's made a mistake, he really is just a good guy, doing what he can.

Likes: his pack, tradition, whiskey, nature, ranches, the sun, company, a pretty face

Dislikes: failing, breaking certain traditions, boredom, being disrespected, the Nightwalker's (and by extension, Crimson River)

Powers: Shifting into a wolf (looks above); heightened durability, strength, speed, senses, and reflexes while in human form.

Backstory: Julius is the current Alpha of the Black Moon pack - a position he has filled for less than a year, after the death of his grandfather. His father died during one of the Nightwalker's attacks 12 years back, and his mother died when he was a baby. So for the past 12 years, he has been raised by his grandparents, set to take over as Alpha. For the past 100 years, the Howard family has been the Alpha's of this pack - the eldest son takes over as Alpha, and is named Julius Augustus Howard. So far, Henry is the 4th - at least since the family took over the Black Moon pack. Grow up, he was trained to be a certain way - proper, polite, respectful. Being a flirt and a charmer just came naturally to him. Even after the tragic deaths in his family, his light never died, and though he goes through periods, his actions and beliefs never sway - he will always do what is best for his pack, and if he can, himself, if it doesn't compromise the pack. However, until he took over as Alpha, he did have a certain reputation for sleeping around. And despite wanting to adhere to certain traditions, it's hard for Julius to ignore certain wishes. He has a weakness when it comes to others, which can be exploited in various ways - but what can he say, other than a pretty face is hard to resist?

Other: He has a fairly thick and noticeable southern accent
He is, oddly, good with horses
He's a farmer - he owns a ranch, which is where the pack is located
He is standing a better chance against the Nightwalker's than his grandfather had
He is great with children - he wants many

Within the RP:

Julius is good friends with rogues Uriah Charleston and Castor Faze.

Julius has formed an alliance with Yellowstone and their Luna, Ambrose Skylar Adams (the creation of Saytrn03 ). The two moved past traditional alliances of packs into a physical relationship between the two leaders - a custom seen as taboo amongst wolf packs.

Julius is very attached to his hats. He doesn't give them out. Maybe when he was drunk someone might be seen with his hat on, but it was always returned to him by the end of the night. A couple wolves had his hats - he buried one with his father, and one with his grandfather, and when his grandmother passes, she'll get one too. As it was, she currently had one of his hats, as did one or two others - Jonah, the Alpha of Redwood, being one of them. His hats meant a lot to him, stemming back to his mother. Now Ambrose has one, too.
