EVAN NATHANIEL WINTERS !?
'you're a canary, i'm the coal mine'
'you're a canary, i'm the coal mine'
hey there! so, tell us all about you... let's start off with the basics. what do we need to know?
"Hey, my name's Evan Nathaniel Winter, and I was raised by wolves! *laughs* okay, only for three nights a month, but I figured that was a good way to start things out. Anyway, I'm a werewolf, if you hadn't noticed, and a guy, which I'd think was obvious, but you asked it, so.. Anywho, I'm twenty-six years old, I'm on the light side of this war, and I'm entirely hetero. Though I'm not at all opposed to those who aren't. Lezzdothisthing."
so, a little birdy told me that you're pretty gorgeous... describe yourself.
"Let's see.... me.. Hm. Alright. Well, I'm about 5'10", I'm not skinny, but I'm not fat either- I guess I'm kinda average? I've got black hair that's usually a total mess, and light brown eyes. I'v also got a ton of tattoos. I've honestly lost count of then all. Oh! And I've got this big ass scar from the back of my shoulder to the middle of my chest from a close encounter of the hunter kind."
i'm sure that your personality is something else completely, tell me all about your self, can't wait to hear it!
"I kinda like to think of myself as goofy, but some people say I'm just a pain in the ass. I try not to take things too seriously when I can get away with it, and I mean, yeah, I can see how that can be irritating. On top of that, I always manage to end up in difficult situations, romantically speaking, so again, I can see why I'm not the favorite of some people. I tend to have more friends who are girls than who are guys, and I guess I'm a subconscious flirt- I try to be friendly, but it manages to come across as flirting. ALL THE TIME. Anyway, enough about that. I suppose I'm kinda modest, or at least, not as cocky as so many people seem to be now. I'm really loyal- not sure if that comes from having a dog brain for a good chunk of my life or if it's just me- and I'd like to think of myself as pretty open-minded or accepting or whatever. Obviously, being on the "light side" I'm not too picky about the company I keep.
'Course, that doesn't mean that the company I keep can't be picky about me. I've had people I knew drop all contact after finding out what I am. I can't say I blame them, as much as it sucks. I've lived my whole life with this fear of hurting someone when I change. It sort of makes me hate being a werewolf. But you know, it's kinda cool at the same time, being more than human. It's a blessing and a curse, I suppose.
That's another thing about me, I try to keep the cynicism to a minimum. I mean, I've been forced to look for the silver lining so many times, optimism's started to grow on me. I'm not really sure what I think of that.
Anyway, enough of me rambling. Let's get to what you actually asked about. Er- I think I may have already covered some of it.. Whatever, here goes.
I like things like sleeping in late and having breakfast at two in the afternoon. (I'll be the first to admit, I'm a lazy s.o.b. half the time)but when I'm actually doing something with my time... Well, I guess I'll do anything that's fun. I'm the kind who likes instant gratification. Not the 'it'll pay off in the end' stuff.
College wasn't really my thing- I mean, yes, I struggled through it. But I had no idea what I wanted to do, so it was essentially pointless. So I just work odd jobs and do whatever seems interesting at the time.
I'm not really one fore being tied down- spontaneity's the word I'm looking for. I don't mean tied down as in a relationship or anything. I just don't like to make plans that I can't get out of if something better comes up. Like, if it's 8 o'clock at night and I wanna go get ice cream, I want to be able to go get ice cream without having to worry about these plans or those obligations. I do lots of things just on whims, and I like to be able to change my mind.
As far as strengths and weaknesses go, I'm pretty good at sheering people up and having a good time, and apparently I make a good shoulder to cry on, and I'm a total procrastinator and a sucker for puppy eyes. It's a bit pathetic, really, how easily a little pout and batted eyelashes can win me over.
I can't really think of any habits of mine off the top of my head, but I'm sure I have them. I just... can't think of any on the spot..
Aside from my fear of hurting someone when I change, my second biggest fear would probably be not living up to my dad's expectations for me. It's really rather intimidating sometimes.
As for secrets, I'm not really sure that I have any huge secrets that are all mine. We've got a bit of a family secret though. Well, a bit is an understatement. It's colossal. But I'll tell you all about that in a minute.
"Desire" is a kinda weird way to put it, but I think what I want the most is to just find my place. Which, again, sounds weird. but I just want to settle in and figure out where I belong.
Soooooo yeah. I think that's pretty much me, all summed up."
i would love to hear about your past, i'm sure it's oh so interesting...
"Interesting? You couldn't be more right. Well, let's see. I was born on May 21st, 1985, the first son of the alpha (leader, for all you non-wolves) of one of the biggest packs in the U.S. Yeah, I was never a normal kid. Anyway, I first changed pretty young. I was five, and it was just a few months before my little sister was born. Mom always seemed to favor Naiomee, and dad always acted like he had more respect for me- whether it was because I was next in line for alpha, or because of an actual preference, I still don't know- so it was always a little odd.
Anyway, to put into perspective for you my family's status in life, I need to backtrack a bit. Mom was the daughter of the alpha of a pack that was right by ours, and dad was the only son of the previous leader of ours. Being the kid of an alpha is pretty much synonymous with coming from money and status, and mom and dad's match was... practical, to say the least. Whether or not love was ever involved, I doubt we'll ever know, but they always seemed to to happy enough with their relationship.
At any rate, Naiomee and I grew up being utterly spoiled, to put it plainly.
I suppose that may have been our undoing. Or hers, at least.
One month, we didn't see her at all for the whole three nights of the full moon. It took us the whole day after to track her down to a nearby township- it was too small even for village status. The sign when you drove in didn't have the population on it, cause it was too small to bother counting. But enough people lived there. And Naiomee had killed them all. The entire village. She hadn't meant to, of course. But we found her.. She had some sort of shock trauma thing. She couldn't even speak for another three weeks. But we burned the village. The whole pack tried to cover it up. We made it look like a fire had swept the whole town overnight.
The officials believed it.
But there's some people you can't fool.
Hunters.
They found us within two months. Mom, 'Mee and I escaped, but dad... They killed my dad in front of us. We couldn't even go back for his body. They would have killed us too.
We knew we weren't safe, so we made the necessary arrangements, and fled Wyoming. We settled down in a town called Manuka, and figured out dad's will and all.
Turned out, he left me almost everything. Mom was.. Mom was furious, to tell yo the truth. She stopped speaking to me for a while.
All this time, Naiomee changed. She was always a spoiled little self-righteous princess, but she was never malicious. But after the massacre.. Something in her was different. Her superiority complex turned into a hatred of humans, and before we knew it, she was justifying killing them.
Mom, in her weak and bitter state of mind- she'd lost everything, her status, her money, her pack- took sides with Naiomee. Not necessarily sharing her opinions, but defending her no matter what she came up with.
I drifted apart from what was left of my family, because, frankly, they weren't even the same people.
After two years in Manuka, we flew back home to Wyoming, to check in on the pack, and to set things straight with our house and everything.
We stayed for about two years, during which time, mom almost constantly tried to get me to challenge the new alpha, and become alpha myself. She wanted the family status back. After two years of refusing, I told her off, which resulted in her promptly disowning me.
I flew back to Manuka right away, and after two months proved that she couldn't force herself or my little sister on the new alpha, they came back as well. I've been living on my own off of my inheritance and the money I make from my various little jobs for the last few months, and so far, I can't complain."
