First Impressions
Height:
6ā3ā
Weight:
198 lbs.
Build:
Athletic
Hair Color:
Sandy Blonde
Eye Color:
Blue
Scars or Markings:
Adrian has his share of scars from rowdy pack fights that ended a little crazy, to actual fights he engaged in when he was younger trying to prove his worth. Many graze his back and chest, but there is a prominent one that runs along with left side of his sturdy jawline. Now thatās quite a story.
Brief Written Description:
Adrian can be quite the intimidating fellow when he stands at his full height and pulls back his broad shoulders. He is fairly well-built due to being active and having the need to keep himself put together. Working out is something the alpha prides himself in regularly, feeling that he has to be at the top of his game physically to lead his pack (though he isnāt the bulkiest/strongest). In his wolf form he is naturally a little bigger than most, this being the strong alpha bloodline that swamps his ancestry. Though, Adrian isnāt the hugest werewolf out there, and that could possibly be why heās constantly try to go above and beyond- to prove to others and himself that he is fit to be alpha. Underneath thick fur of multicolor which ranges from deep browns, blacks, red colors, and gray around the muzzle and throughout his coat, is evenly corded muscle. Heās strong, despite the lean, not extremely bulk look of his human form. In said human form the alpha has a pair of eyes the color of the sky on a cloudless day, yet in his wolf state of being they are that of melted gold (in certain lighting).
For attire Adrian usually opts for comfort rather than to impress. He likes wearing a simple pair of jeans and a tee shirt. Itās much easier to navigate in and tug off when going to shift. He also likes wearing worn, plaid button-ups. When needed to dress up, this alpha can do that just fine as well. Actually, he doesnāt look half bad in a suit, but donāt tell him that. He doesnāt need his ago stroked.

Digging A Little Deeper
Quirks and Faults
Stamps
Adrian collects stamps like his grandmother used to do. He received her old collection of them in a small tin and heās taken it with him during his travels, adding to it when he can. He feels like if he keeps doing this that heāll always have a part of her with him. Itās a bit odd and heās been called out about it on more than one occasion.
Eating
He only eats one thing at a time if he has a large plate of food in front of him. However, he usually shovels the food into his mouth. Itās a wonder if he actually tastes it.
Defensiveness
Adrian is a bit on the defensive side. He doesnāt take negative comments too lightly, and tends to get angry a little too fast. This is one of his biggest downfalls.
Dreams
Adrian is, for the most part, living his ādream,ā so to speak. When he was in his fatherās pack he always dreamt of getting out on his own, starting his own pack. Creating his own family, if you will. He is also hoping that his pack is able to become the protectors of Moonglade, and has the dream of becoming a real ārole modelā for younger wolves.
Fears
Since the pack started, Adrian has had a gut-wrenching fear of them, his pack-mates, leaving him. The thought of them leaving is almost unimaginable since theyāre the only family he really has left now. Heās also afraid of something bad happening to one of them; either a terrible illness or death. Since a young age, Adrian has always had the fear of letting people down. Due to the fact that his father constantly belittled him, heās weary of letting others, mostly his pack, down.
Strengths
- Natural Leader -
Although Adrian is a hot head, in times of dire need he is good at ordering those where to be, what to do. He keeps a level head when others tend to lose theirs all together. However, that is only when the time truly calls for it. Heās good when it comes to fairness and always tries to do the thing that is best for his pack as a whole, putting them first.
- Hardworking ā
When he sets his mind to something, he works hard to get it done promptly and effectively. He knows things arenāt just handed to you, and that you have to strive towards something to earn it.
Weaknesses
- Easily Angered ā
Little snide comments towards him or his pack truly tick Adrian off. He detests those who backtalk and holds respect highly. Even when joking, some remarks set his teeth on edge. There is a limit to things, after all. When he fumes itās best to leave him alone until he cools down.
- Ruthlessly Protective of Loved Ones ā
Adrian is extremely protective, nothing short of possessive, of those he cares about and deems family/close friends. Those who have earned his trust have also earned his loyalty, and thatās something the alpha holds close. He would die for them, and that isnāt a lie.

Under My Skin
Personality
| Supportive , Confident, Impatient, Loyal, Quick-Tempered |
Adrian tries to be supportive when it comes to whatever his pack-mates want to do- individually and as a whole. Their aspirations are important to him, he values them, and tries to help them achieve whatever it may be within reason. The feelings he felt in his past tend to leak over into present day situations. Not wanting others to feel the way he used to, he tends to be a little too gung-ho to help, sometimes to the point of completely overbearing; sort of like an eager, dorky dad trying to help his child with a science project, yet only to get in the way and leave his kid ultimately annoyed. Nonetheless, there is a point where Adrian knows heās getting too smothering and will back off, leaving them to figure things out and get it done on their own. However, heās always there to help when needed.
Like most people who are in certain areas of power, Adrian holds a certain confidence about him. Actually, his confidence dances on the borderline of plain cocky. Heās an alpha, what do you honestly expect? The thing with confidence is, it can be a terrific trait to have or a completely dreadful one. With Adrian, itās a little on the bi-polar side. For a positive, he is absolute in his ability to be alpha. He knows how to go about things, having grown up under his fatherās strict hand, and is good enough to nudge pack things in the direction of running smoothly. As for the negative effects of his cocki- I mean, confidence. . Adrian knows heās a fairly attractive guy, and he uses it to his advantage. He tends to be a deadly flirt. Though, when girls come onto him strong he may become a bit finicky. Also, his confidence could lead him to getting hurt. Heās too sure of himself in fights and such, and tends to go into things thinking he has everything in the bag.
Ever heard the saying, āPatience is key?ā Well, Adrian never received that key. Heās terrible in that aspect, to be frank. Having to wait around for something to happen grates on the Blackwell alphaās nerves. If he asks a question, heād prefer it answered then and there, and if youāre supposed to meet him at a certain time you better be there when you say youāre going to be. Heās not extremely unreasonable, he just hates his time wasted, especially when it comes to petty matters. Plus, being an alpha, he has a lot of things to do and get done. Time spent not doing those things is time misused, in his eyes.
Behind the gruff layers of Adrian there is more than one good thing about him, believe it or not. He is a fiercely loyal man, a very werewolf-ish trait. His pack comes first before anyone else. Itās been that way for a long time and he doesnāt plan on changing it. Heād defend all of them with everything he has, until his last breath. Think of a hen. . A pissed off hen who flogs everyone who tries to get near her chicks. Okay, maybe thatās the wrong example since Adrian is a 6ā3ā, full-grown man, but you get the idea. Donāt hurt them and heāll return the favor and not hurt you. He just wants everyone safe. Safe and sound and somewhere close where he can keep his eyes on them. Is that too much to ask?
Like stated above, the Blackwell alpha is pretty quick-tempered. This is another trait he can thank the werewolf lineage for, and his father, naturally. His dad was always quick to anger, and in turn Adrian is as well. However, heās really trying hard to rein this in. His father is the last person he wants to be like, and when compared to him he gets a rather horrified expression on his face. Alas, itās easier said than done. When someone flips his switch to āenragedā he likes to stalk off and be by himself. Thatās when he tends to turn to working out, pushing himself to work out the anger. Although, there are times when Adrian will explode. And, just for fair warning, no one wants to really see that. He tends to say things he doesnāt mean and hurt feelings. He feels bad afterward, of course, tending to find the person he hurt and try to suck up, bribing them with things he knows they like. Tears are the manās almost kryptonite. He crumbles like a house of cards if someone starts crying in front of him.

Diving Into The Past

History
Growing up with strict parents is one thing. Growing up as the only child of strict parents who also are the Alphas of one of the widely known packs in Dubuque, Iowa is another. Adrian was never given the privilege of actually growing up like a ānormal werewolf child.ā He was constantly watched by his parents, Emmanuel and Samantha Blackwell. āEvery mistake you make is a mistake that looks bad on us.ā His father would lecture him, Adrian sitting in front of him, and if being in his wolf form he would have had his tail tucked between his legs, head hung low. He could never do the things normal kids were expected to do. Like, get into mischief for example. When his parents werenāt around they would have their betas watching him like predatory hawks, waiting for him to mess up hungrily. When he did mess up, which was often, the consequences were always ones of great extreme. His father would make him shift and would prod the pup to try and fight him, eventually getting to the point where he would simply pin his son down and snap in his face in a declaration of dominance. Then, Adrian was to get scolded by his mother who was almost just as bad, though she was not as physical. She just. . Definitely was not the ācuddlyā type.
The only light Adrian had as a young child was his grandparents on his motherās side, Bill and Marie Prescott. They were also in the pack, and when something went wrong he would escape to their small home which was just across the field from the packās homestead. His grandmother would coddle him, bake him things, and more importantly simply show him affection he so desperately craved. He would spend long evenings at their home, setting in front of an old fireplace, rummaging through an old tin full of stamps. Sadly, at the young age of thirteen his grandmother was taken from him. A rivalry pack from the town over came to start trouble and most of the elders were lost- Adrianās grandmother included. He grieved for a long time, but perhaps not as bad as his grandfather. Bill and Marie had been mates for fifty years. The loss was too much for him, and not a month later he quite literally grieved himself to death. Adrian was left alone.
It took him a long time to accept his grandparentsā passing. He fell into a slump, a depression that he thought heād never get out of. However, his parents did not let up on him. His mother seemed to hardly bat an eye when everything occurred. They were heartless. As Adrian got older, closer and closer to stepping up and taking his fatherās place, he became forming ideas of his own. Without his grandparents, the pack held nothing for him. They were close-minded and didnāt allow mutts to join. This is itself annoyed Adrian. Also, there was too much pressure on him from his father. He wanted to lead, he knew he would be good at it, but not good enough to live up to his fatherās unrealistic expectations. Emmanuel would continuously remind his son of how much of a āscrew upā he was. And how, āIf your mother could have more children you would be replaced.ā
Eventually, Adrian had enough. At the age of twenty-two he told his parents he was leaving. In return they told him that he was no son of theirs, and that he was disowned. Trying to take that with a grain of salt, the werewolf left and started his journey to find his place. He did a lot of travelling through-out a couple years, and eventually stumbled upon Veronica Brooks. As they got to know each other a little better, they discovered they were both looking for the same thing. So, they decided to start a pack of their own. The Blackwell pack has been going strong for a few years now, and he looks at his pack-mates like family, like blood. He truly cares about them. Itās got to the point that Adrian decided to was time to settle them into a town to protect. This is where Moonglade comes into play. Thinking of his pack, he plans on doing everything in his power to claim the town as theirs.
