I decided since I'll be using Cailean Mac a'bhaird for the writing exercise I have to do for my rehab classes I'll post them up here just so that they can be enjoyed by someone other then myself. That and because sharing is fun!
Anyways these are the journals of a 17 year old new Werewolf and his rather interesting discoveries. I'm going to use this to also develop the character further since it's just the beginning of his 'creation' and 'RP-life'.

Personality:
- Primary Motivator:
Up until a few months ago Cailean’s only motivation was getting a scholarship and going on to a prestigious college to study some form of business while continuing his football career as far as he could. The business being his fallback in case he didn’t make it big as a football star. Being a quarterback Cailean was a typical jock in some ways, with an underlying heart that most didn’t see and fewer still knew. Extremely loyal and caring for his friends Cailean was a good friend to have and a worst enemy to make. Being from a rich family he was well to do and he tended to make friends easily if not for his money for his good natured laid back attitude to life and his energetic way. Preferring to settle scores over a game of football or baseball to a fight.
Now however three months after that fateful night where his life had hung in the balance Cailean only wants to survive long enough to find out where he belongs.

History:
Born in a small town to a wealthy family Cailean is the third child and only boy of Abigail and Loghan Mac a’bhaird. Cailean’s two older sisters are: Maire and Grainne Mac a’bhaird. For the whole of his life Cailean has been your average American boy, though his father Loghan is from Ireland and still very Irish in his beliefs and lifestyle Cailean has taken on a more American life style, vocabulary and interest stream. All except his interest in the supernatural and paranormal world. He is strangely obsessive of learning old mythology and ancient customs and more specifically he believes in all things weird and unusual. Like his father before him Cailean studied the ancient world religion of the celtic druids and fancies himself well educated.
It wasn’t until three months into his 17th year of life that Cailean was attacked one night by a lycanthrope and after recovering from the near death experience realized he too was now infected with the disease and his morbid curiosity became a real life crisis.
The once typical jock who enjoyed football and a circle of popular friends was now part of a whole new world that he knew next to nothing about. His friends slowly began to find him strange and unusual and though he was able to blame most of his changing behavior on the attack that had left him in the hospital for a month fighting for his life not all of the changes could be placed at that door. His senses permanently heightened the change a thing of will rather then commanded by a full moon left him with a connection to the wolf side of himself he didn’t understand.
