Name: Harold Thompson 
Nickname: Harris 
Age: 26

Occupation: single 
Quote: I'll finish this before you'll know it!
Background: As a child Harold was fascinated with the supernatural and the creatures that inhabit it. At the age of 15 he began his career and went out to search for them, while most of the begins he encountered were nice enough to lend him the information he needed some were not so happy with him toying their experiences and was often attacked by them. One attack was so vicious and brutal that the doctors were certain that he wouldn't live for the sun to rise, frightened and angry, his parents forced him to stop his research for three years. During those years his parents had given him a Church Grim Jack Russell terrier that he named' Shady', he had also recovered from the attack and know the only thing that shows are the long claw marks that cover chest and stomachache. With him fully recovered he returned to his studies for the next eight years, still worried about his safety, his parents encouraged him to go to the "Society of Arcane Science." Knowing that he would gladly agree and that he would be safe with other scientist around, he left home two weeks after agreeing. 
Height: 5"5
Weight: 149.8
Other: He brought his , Church Grim Jack Russell terrier, (female), shady with him.
I hope I'd did this right.

After Weir had gotten permission from Lanyon regarding Hela's treatment, he'd set to work making some initial preparations. Having for the most part completed these, he'd sought to consult with Hastie to let him know. Unfortunately, Dr. Lanyon had been otherwise occupied. Lewis had decided to wait for him rather than going home, and now wandered the great hall to pass the time.
((Does Harold want to knock on the door to the Society or anything?))

(Sure if you want)
Harold knocked on the grand doors of the society, a suitcase in one hand and a very excited pooch who was wagging her tail.

As this was a timeline in which no one else happened to be nearby, Weir answered the door.
"Good day," he greeted. "May I help you?"

Before he could respond Shady leaped onto Weir barking in excitement. "Shady!" William exclaimed grabbing shady before she could run inside the society. "I am William Thompson, and this is Shady, my Church Grim."

"Oh!" exclaimed Lewis in surprise. "I see. Lewis Weir, by the way. Nice to meet you and...'Shady', was it?" He chuckled. "An apropos name." He reached down to get a better look at the little dog. "Hm. I've never actually met a church grim before."

"I've had her sense she was a pup." Harold let go of Shady and let her run in between Lewis and the door." I've came here to continue my research in supernatural creatures such as werewolves and vampires in a much safer environment."

"Really?" He was, in truth, a tad confused; he'd thought church grims were made of dogs sacrificed to guard the sacred space. Then again, there was much he didn't know of this realm; perhaps things worked differently here. "Huh." He broke into a smile. "Well, if it's strange things you wish to study, you've certainly come to the right place! Come in, won't you?" Lewis stood aside so Harold could enter, then closed the door behind him.

"Thank you sir!" Harold gratefully grabbed his bags and stepped inside the society, almost instantly he was taken back by how big it was inside than it was outside. "This place is huge!"

"You know, I've honestly never counted them. Too rapt in wonder, I suppose. But just look up," he suggested, tilting his head skyward, hoping Harold would follow his line of sight. "You study unusual creatures. That," he gave a further upward nod at the Leviathan skeleton, "ought to pique your interest."

"A 'leviathan', so the exhibit says--you have to be on the upper floor to read the plaque for that one--a creature of the ocean's Stygian deep. I'd honestly never heard of one before coming here."

Upon hearing her name Shady went to Weir and stood on her heels, balancing her self, she begged him to scratch her ears. "Well I was attack by quite a few of them, except Church Grims."

Lewis bent down to pet Shady. She was endearing, in a strange way. He scratched behind her ears with one hand. The other, he put to her chest, over her heart. He wondered if the old Swedish legend was true...
"Attacked, you say?" Weir echoed as he petted the dog. "What happened, exactly?"
((Please see the last entry in the "Fiction" section of https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
for what Weir's thinking about.))

(He is correct ! I just got some info wrong :D)
"When I was 15, I was asking questions to someone who was a werewolf about their experiences. Apparently he got mad when I kept asking him questions. The last thing I saw was him transforming and lunging for my chest before it'd black out." he explained, Shady barked in agreement to Weir and licked his face.

No secrets of the universe revealed themselves to Weir. Instead, he got a lick on the chin. He supposed it could be that touching Shady's actual heart, not just placing his hand over it, was what was required...if the old folktale was even true. This grim's probably English anyway... He petted her, then stood back up.
"And when you awoke?" he asked.

Shady wagged her tail gleefully, barking before darting of to find something interesting but stayed close to the pair. "I was very pale and my upper body was bandage up so tightly that I could not move what was worse it that my parents were surrounding the bed I was in." he shivered at the thought, it was 11 years ago sense it happened but it still tormented him. "They said that the werewolf slashed across my chest and stopped at my stomach, the beast would of ripped out my insides if a stranger didn't heard my blood curling screams and shoot the thing dead."

"You're very lucky, then. From what I've heard, there's as much variety in werewolves as there is in people, and you may well have run afoul of a psychopath, or at least someone who'd kill to keep his secrets."

"Well, imp glade I've haven't meet anyone like that yet." he laughed keeping an eye on Shady making sure that she won't start to brake things.

((Lewis would be confused; he meant that Harold ran afoul of a werewolf psychopath/secret-keeper and that's why he got hurt. Weir's essentially saying that not all werewolves are bad, though the one Harold encountered was.))

"I imagine you suffered some nerve damage during the attack. Believe it or not, the pain may actually be a good sign. The nerves are likely trying to regrow. How many years has it been since you were injured?" he asked.

"11 years ago." he sated "The attack was so brutal and viscous that the doctors were certain I was a goner."

"Well, that's certainly long enough for your nerves to begin the process. They grow and reknit themselves slowly, but I imagine they may heal fully in time. If you couldn't feel anything, that would be worrisome. Still," he admitted, "I suppose knowing all this is cold comfort when the pain comes upon you."

"It is, sometimes the pain is just too much to bear." he confessed walking over to where Shady was trying to grab something but kept her away. "After that attack my parents forced me to stop, I assumed they were just worried about my wellbeing."

"That's a natural parental reaction," he conceded. "But you've obviously resumed your studies, I take it. This is rather a perfect place for you to continue them. We've both a vampire and werewolf resident here, though I've not personally met either yet."

Weir winced at the sound of shattering.
"That said," he added, "you will have to clear all this with Dr. Lanyon before you can settle in. I'd suggest you put Shady on a leash before you see him. Or just in general."

"Well I don't think she will be comfortable with someone else for more than an hour." Harold laughed at the memory that came up. "One time my parents decided to take care of her while I go out of town for a few hours, when I come back they'd said that all Shady did was howl and whine. While waiting at the door."

Harold looked at Shady with a questionable look, right now she was just laying down near him. "She doesn't sound like a type of dog to me, then again she is always by my side."

"There's nothing wrong with her sleeping on your bed, so long as she doesn't have fleas and Lanyon doesn't catch you letting her. However, be aware that with dogs--and perhaps grims--there is no 'sometimes'. She is either allowed to sleep on the bed or she is not. She is either allowed to bounce without your permission or she is not. Never 'sometimes'. Remember that."
He turned to Shady.
"No." He was firm; the look in his eye brooked no disagreement. Any being capable of reading emotion or body language could tell he was not going to get Shady the towel or anything like it if she kept up her present behavior.
"Down," he said, with a snap of his fingers. His tone was serious as a heart attack, and he held eye contact with Shady as he pointed to the floor.

Winning and lowering her ears in shame Shady laid onto the floor suddenly wary of Lewis's strange behavior. "To be honest I'm impressed." Harold said looking at both the grim and Lewis. "I can't even make her stay and I am surprised that you could do it so easily."

"It seems grims, like dogs, are very adept at reading emotion," observed Weir.
"Good girl," he told Shady, breaking into a smile; he grabbed the towel with one hand and gave it to her, while he used the other to stroke her chest affectionately.
"It's also a matter of catching them behaving the way you want, and rewarding that behavior immediately," he explained.

Instantly her eyes perked up and she leaped for the towel, happily playing with it . "I wonder if there is a reason for her Separation anxiety." he asked very pleased with Shady.

"She needs to be around other people more, even if when she isn't in your company. And those need to be good experiences for her. If we can do that, the anxiety should lessen and may even go away entirely."

Harold thought of it more and bent down to pet Shady which she enjoyed. "Can other dogs help with her anxiety?"

Jekyll1886  Sylveondream • 3 years ago
"Yes, actually. They could, if they get along well. Exposing her--in a controlled environment--to other dogs and people would be a good idea. If you think you'll be away from her for long periods of time, you might even want to get a second grim or dog to keep her company. Just bear in mind that, if you do, that one would likely require some training as well."

Okay I wasn't sure! The reason not many people have replied is you usually need to post the beginning of a story here as you'll see with some of the other intro RPs. It can be short just something a long the lines of "They stumbled up to the Society's gran doors and knocked." That give people a starting point for an RP. Since this's discussion's almost timed out you might want to start a new one or look at some of the other Oc/intros.
