Always and Forever

The Albureich family is very prim and proper, contorting themselves as superior citizens. They are extremely family driven, though qualms and quarrels cannot always be avoided. From their birth, the children were taught that family is everything and no one else is worth a dime. The children each have slightly differing moral standards, though somehow they all work together and forge a powerful alliance among themselves. They are often dependent only on those within the family, and tend to stick to themselves whenever possible. They seek only what benefits themselves, and tend to be undeniably selfish. They believe themselves to be better than everyone else, though they aren?t often open about it when in the presence of outsiders. Generally they are all charming, charismatic, sly as foxes, and extremely intelligent. They have an equal balance of brawn and wit, though wit tends to be more dominant when they can help it. Their mantra, which is often said when departing one another?s company, is ?always and forever.? Promiscuity is not frowned upon in their family group, though it is expected to get approval from Niklaus if any of the siblings take a steady mate.

History ? Mikael and Esther married and sought to create the perfect family. Upon their first litter of two males, they were off to a grand start. Niklaus showed himself as a prime leader among the children, even as more litters came forth from Esther?s loins. Upon the birth of Rebekah, Mikael and Esther ceased trying to have children and focused on teaching their kids everything they knew. At the age of three, Niklaus ended this teaching by killing his mother ? sending Mikael into hiding. Mikael returned later and tried to reunite his family, but was subsequently killed by Elijah at Niklaus? bidding. Rebekah, Kol, and Finn do not know how either of their parents died.

Ever strong and courageous, Niklaus, often referred to as ?Nik or Klaus? is perhaps the most selfish of the siblings. He often is the one who thinks more of himself than the family and tends to make decisions that ultimately benefit his own goals or objectives. Though he pledges his love and loyalty to his family, it is not uncommon for him to throw them under the bus if he deems it necessary. He is rather difficult to read and incredibly temperamental. Niklaus is very close to Rebekah and dotes on her quite a bit.

Elijah is the most morally responsible of the siblings. He strives always to do what is right and fair, though often it isn?t clear right away where his loyalty lies. Deep down he would do anything for his family, but he is not opposed to going against the minority in order to benefit the majority. Elijah is often very quiet and calculating, and isn?t quite as boisterous as Niklaus when he makes plans.

Finn is the momma?s boy of the bunch. Ever loyal to their mother even upon her death, Finn strives to keep her memory alive and do what he believes she would have wanted him to do. He always works to keep the family together and working as a group, and is often the mediator when arguments arise. Finn tends to disagree with Niklaus quite often, though has a good relationship with Elijah. Finn is often considered to be the weakest brother and is usually overlooked when it comes to making plans.

Kol is the chaotic of the group. While he is close with his family, he is often off doing his own thing ? which usually is getting into trouble. He has a rivalry with his older brothers Niklaus and Elijah and butts heads with them whenever possible. He tends to be antagonistic toward his younger sister, Rebekah. Kol, as the youngest brother is a troublemaker. He is also quite a bit of a daredevil and often bites off more than he can chew, resulting in his older brothers having to rescue him.

Rebekah is a bit of a daredevil, and growing up with four older brothers tends to make her incredibly tough and strong-willed. Despite her femininity she holds her own among the group of boys. She is closest with her elder brother, Niklaus, and often can be seen in his company. Rebekah is careful with her planning and tends to lean on her intelligence rather than brute force, though she certainly is tough.

Their appearances should include brown, black, or a mix of the two (different shades are allowed). Their eyes are usually heterochromatic (each eye is a different color) though there could be one or two of them who don't have the gene. Their build can vary, i'm not too concerned about that. Lastly, they all have rather long, plush fur and tend to be immaculate about their appearance, so keep that in mind.

So you want in on this amazingly awesome family? Well, I do have to say that I am going to be picky with these guys, but that doesn't mean I won't give everyone fair chance at them! They will most likely be rogues for at least a while (unless an appealing pack comes along cough: glaciem), so no need to worry about pack dramallama or whatever. Uhm.. as for requirements I'm not going to make too many demands. I request at least 150 words for both appearance and personality, and at least 300 words for a roleplay sample. When I return from vacation I'll start looking at apps, so you have until then to wow me, XD.
