Not sure why but suddenly on writing kick. Thought out huge scene for Psychosis today. Then I lost my notes from a few weeks ago and went into total panic attack.
Also been thinking about "Heritage." Aside from maybe giving that story a new title since Heritage is starting to lose its orignal meaning, I'm also working on weeding out the whole Hispanic thing I was going for. Not because I can't do it, but more because I don't see why. I think it just makes it a certain genre and that's stupid. That means taking it out of this world more or less. Have to decide on new setting. Also, I like the idea of giving all my special werewolves Greek/Roman names since they are genetically engineered or the offspring of genetically engineered creatures. That said, Raoul has got to go. I'm thinking about sticking with some variation of his birth name, Lysander. It works well with the other names: Casandra, Achilles and Romulus (Rom being his second name; I think his birth name was also Achilles).
To help with question, Raoul's personality can be described as lazy but alert. He prefers to just watch things, but will join in if something is appealing enough. He's also laid back and it takes a lot to provoke a reaction from him. That said, he loves to tease and has little to no tact in situations, making him as blunt as they come. He enjoys fighting because too much of his life is spent playing by the rules, but his victories usually come more of luck/genetics than actual skill. Contrary to everything else, Raoul has a voracious appetite for learning and adores music.

Ari--the secondary main character, can be described as selfish and high-strung. Everything is an enormous deal to him and if he's unhappy so is everyone around him. He's been brought up as a member of high-society and is there spoiled and used to being in control of everything. Thus he loves to dish out orders but can't follow any to save his life. You can expect he views everyone as an object, something he can use to achieve his latest goal. He's dissatisfied with much of his life, which can result in his being ocassionally moody and emo to the point of ridiculous (he likes threatening to jump off things). Due to this, Ari's always trying to get into something big so he can brag about it later. Ari does have a soft spot for children; maybe it allows him to reminisce when he was young and had a whole family.
Romulus--our third main character, can be described as an overgrown puppy with homicidal tendencies. He can kill almost anything in a matter of minutes and in a variety of ways and feel nothing but the rush. Rom also loves exploring and staying active. He can't stand sitting for things like tv or books. He's proficient with all technology and weapons but prefers using his bare hands, teeth or claws. Rom is skilled at manipulation and has been conditioned to ignore humans and hate Lycans. He's obsessed with his heritage and sees Lysander as a big brother, even if Lysander wants little to do with him. He's even more obsessed with his master/surrogate father, Marq, whom he will do ANYTHING for.
Essentially, Rom is very disturbed but deep down, a sweet kid...who could gut you without batting an eye.

-starts off as 15, 18 by the end, that's right no statuatory rape here
-ice blue eyes
-bright thick platinum blond hair, always wild messy like from a figh, shoulder-length, sticking out all along sides (don't know why but the typical hairstyle of L'arc's Hyde is a good example of just the style)

-dresses in whatever he can find but likes damaged cloth (rips, terrors, missing sleeves, it's all good)
-wears white-gold chain link collar with tag that reads Ariel
