!Description

'Physical Description:'

Parker is a pretty boy, but that never stops him from doing crazy stuff hence one of his nicknames names 'Wildfang'. He stands around 5'10” and weighs about 165 lbs, He is lean and strong with teal-blue eyes and platinum colored hair. Parker always seems to wear a smile or a mischievous grin and it seems not a whole lot can ever get him down. If you don't know him, you soon will and he rarely ever has made an enemy of those he meets. When you get used to him, 'Fucking Parker' will be part of your normal vocabulary when you refer to him.

'Backstory:'
When Silver Fang kinfolk Della and Noah Cartwright welcomed their twins into the world on the morning of October 27, 2000, their excitement was apprehensive and not without fear. Their morning had started like any other; work school, dinner plans. Till Della's SUV was hit by a Pick up truck and that morning her vehicle rolled the edge of the guard rail and into the cold waters of Lake Pontchartrain.

You see, they were actually two of three, the pregnancy was supposed to be two identical girls and a boy. However, this was not to be. In fact, quite a bit of sadness descended upon the family home with the birth of the first twin Piper, born still. Thus when the next two entered the world there was baited breath and hearts that sank as they waited to hear infant cries that did not come. Instead, there was only quiet gasps and the rush of staff as the twins were worked on diligently for signs of life and breath.

Initially upon hearing that they were going to have three babies there was celebrations. However as the pregnancy continued and problems arose the excitement became fear. Della and Noah always wanted a large family but after many unsuccessful attempts to not only conceive, but carry to term, they had all but given up when they found out they were expecting the triplets. Their older son, Benjamin was the only child that they had been able to conceive and carry to term in 10 years. Thus when the twins were born early and in distress – everyone waited and watched and prayed.

Piper was the first to be pulled from their mother's womb, the little girl painfully purple and a knot in her cord and wrapped around her leg. Even without the accident it was likely that Piper would never have taken a breath. Parker was the second to be born, coming into the world with a head of pale blonde hair and weighing almost 3 pounds. When he fussed and finally cried it sounded like a growl a little puppy growling. Then there was the 3rd and final baby, Patience, who like her identical twin was in far more trouble than Parker.

The tiny girl weighed under 2 pounds and from the moment she came into the world struggled to survive. For the next several weeks, Patience would experience various problems that premature babies faced; brain bleeds, infections, and other typical things that plague those born too soon. A lot o these could not attend to them because it would risk the veil. So as Patience grew week and Parker grew stringer they counted on the spirits. Spirits that left marks upon the infant so it could be recognized for many years to come.

One such instance left Patience in need of glasses, a permanent reminder just how precious life and abilities really is, a lesson that she has always taken to a serious point in her life. Not too serious but a it is always in her mind that her life could have been cut short before it ever began and it is that reminder that sometimes others forget.

Now the opposite is Parker in many ways. Once he entered the world he sailed through the NICU days, gaining and growing, without complications. Of course, that was just coincidental that he was the trueborn of the twins; or maybe it was just an example of what the future might hold for them as he grew to become her protector. It didn't matter, he was the natural athlete of the pair.

Now, to support their three kids Della and Noah took over Noah's family business 'Fluer De Lis Pawn'. Just on the inside of the French Quarter. A pawn shop that has been there since before the turn of the century when the great depression made them most popular. The 'Fluer De Lis' provided everything that the family could need. Originally it was a Speak-Easy during the 1800's and then it became a Money Lender during the turn of the century, and finally evolved into the pawn shop that it is now.

A home above it, an income to provide food on the table and other necessary things. And it had served as a home and business for the family for so many generations of Silver Fang kinfolk that it was hard to remember when it was not upon the streets of New Orleans. Now and again, Benjamin the twins older brother, tells stories of how some of the more famous outlaws used to sell items to their great great grandparents and that it was not unusual to sell and buy wolf pelts. There was even a story once, in an obscure text that Patience can recall that spoke of a group of garou who passed through town and made trades but then vanished before anyone could do something about the wyrm tainted dagger they had given away.

Which leads us back to the Pawn Shop now in 2019. Now and again some interesting items that would come in related to or linked to history in some way bring about a good story that Patience would just need to hear. Once there was a indian arrowhead that turned up and was claimed to have been part of the local nation. It was never proved or disproved, but it did sell for a good price.

It also afforded the twins plenty to get into trouble with. More than once did Parker steal items from local tourists only to have those items find their way into the shop coffers to be sold or bartered for. Usually, it was small items like money clips or precious coins someone didn't know they had. However, once in awhile, Parker would come across a treasure that was a fetish or talen that would be turned over to the Sept of the Forgotten Citadel.

During the Christmas season in 2013; a peak time of year not just for pawning but also for buying, the 'Flue De Lis' was robbed at gun point by three men. At least, that's what the news stories read. In truth, Noah had fallen to the clutches of the Wyrm by means of a pistol from the 1800's that corrupted him. The once loving father followed a path that was a slow spiral of madness till December 23rd, 2013 when he shot his wife multiple times as she tried to protect the young teenager.

Parker had been upstairs doing homework when he felt the horror of his twin sister, at least that is how he would describe it. However, maybe it was just that inclination that -something- was wrong before he heard the first gunshot. Still, to this day he will swear that he had felt this twin, the pain she felt as the bullet tore through his mother's body and into the teenage girls. The twin that he shared a secret world of speech and interaction from each other; feeling the searing pain of his twin sister being shot in the chest as Della tried to protect her, was all he could handle before he exploded into a wall of claw and teeth.

This is what triggered Parker's first change.

A rampaging Garou tore apart the man he once called father limb from limb.

Neither parent survived the attack – but Patience did. The young girl left to recuperate from the bullet wound was in the hospital for an extended period of time was left with nothing to do but draw and read. She made use of that ¹⁾ time and while she was recovering her newly engaged brother would fight the state for the twins, refusing to allow them to be carted off. Thankfully the Sept also helped to step in and provide counsel for him free of charge.

Ben then never before followed through with anything; but he had the twins and as much as it would eventually wear on him it was not something he was ever going to let go anytime soon. Parker was nothing but trouble, now that he knew he was a trueborn he was a little more than opinionated and he would play practical jokes on his older brother. He was picked up for larceny a few times, but quickly learned how to outsmart the police and the human authorities. This caused Ben some issues as he tried to rise through the ranks of the New Orleans Parish Police Department, but eventually did make his mark and became a homicide detective.

As for the twins; Patience was the opposite but an equal to him just the same. The pair sharing their twin-speak language gave them advantages that others did now. It also enabled the pair to keep their bond even when there was threats of juvenile hall. While he stole things, she learned to to create and therefore spot forgeries. While he learned how to fight, she learned how to use her mind. She created sketches, drawings, and books he learned how to defend her. She learned how to deal with the customers and appraise items, he learned how to steal things and bring them back for resale if they were of any value. She became the brains and charismatic of the pair; while he became the thieving and spying brawn. Even under their older brother, the twins really only had one another. Thus it has been since the day they were born.

Today, they run the pawn shop and all money that is due to them from their trustfunds is protected by Benjamin. They have little to no access till they are 21 years old and married/mated off. This was the stipulations of their parents Wills to prevent misuse of the funds. They get an allowance and the parents estate is wealthy but their personal bank accounts could use a boost. It isn't as if they want for anything, everything is paid for and has been for generations.

(Time for Parker to join the Nation and the Fall) Parker slowly immerses himself into Garou affairs and his duty, He quickly realizes he is far from a typical Silver Fang as he is way to wild and free spirited. Parker try's to mingle and finds he has much to learn so he decides to use his natural charm and humor to break the ice. He then found that most the Garou and Kin smiled and laughed at his chaotic antics, when he was just being himself, he made friends and a lot of them. Within a month, Parker gained notoriety as one of if not THE most known Cliath in the Sept. He was happy, he was free but something was missing. But what was it? He had his twin sister Patience, he had money, he had a measure of fame of sorts….Parker wanted something but did not know what, so he continued doing his thing and used his skills of intrusion, retrieval and tracking of items to aid the sept and fulfill his duty.

After a few months, Parker found himself relaxing at the diner when he first seen her. She was beautiful, lost and looked out or place. Irina Beaulieu was not the type of woman he thought he would be attracted to but there just seemed to be something there with her, like destiny, like the feeling that he HAD to talk to her, and so he did. The good southern pretty boy Parker was, he invited her over for food and conversation, they hit it off immediately and soon became inseparable, he became her unofficial protector and they grew close in the time they spent together, he found that he wanted nothing more then to be near her, to be with her, to protect her and they ultimatly realized they loved each other. Thats when things became interesting for him, Parker spoke to the Silver Fang Elder and asked that he be allowed to court and mate Irina, The Elder who was as much insane as he was wise decided to give Parker a vision of a Silver Fang pack protecting Kinfok from a Zmei, this gave him nightmares for weeks but it also made him realize the true value of Kinfolk. When Parker understood the lesson, he went through the rites of breeding and heritage then was allowed to wed and mate with Irina. Things went well for the longest time, he became Beta to his pack and was bestowed a Fang Dagger spear at the same time that his Ancestor was teaching him the ways of Kailindo as he had no desire to kill and Garou in combat and seeked to only better himelf. He built the house for he and Rini, built a greenhouse, he killed many minions of the Wyrm and even earned the name Wildfang by the Fenrir he fought beside. He and Rini had a daughter Lily. Life was complete as the baby was apparently a magnet for spirits, Parker and Rini found 'gifts' left for the baby by Raccoon spirits and other fun things that happen here and there. Life was beautiful until the attack came.

Parker and a handful of Garou were on missions to investigate why the Wyrm was encroaching on the Bawn, they found that there were a lot Shredder type creatures destroying the forest, they even shredded his leg and sprayed Wyrm toxins in the wounds. He was brought back to the sept where he was taken care of and healed. Parker and his group then raided a Pentex lab where a Kin was kidnapped and taken to, the losses of the slaughter was heavy on both sides and he lost many friends in that raid, it was only by the blessing of his pack totem Great Boar and his gifts of extra stamina and the gift of the Grondr that allowed him to neutralize the Wyrm venoms that he survived. Parker and the few injured but alive Garou limped back home only to find their Sept under attack.Parker fearing for Rini and Lily's life rushed home but found the fight was carried to there as well. In his desperate fury, he used his spear, the Fang Dagger fetish bestowed upon him by his pack and fought viciously to keep the fight from his family, with the Caern over run and lost, this was all that matter now. He took hit and slashes that would have made lesser Garou run or fall, he only wanted to keep his family safe.It was at this point where Parker loses his spear, he fought a long tough battle with a BSD Ahroun and his final killing blow on the Spiral snapping his spear leaving the head of it buried in the dying Dancer. Parker finally made it to his family and rushed them away, noting his injured wife, he ran hard and fast with them in his Crinos arms. Everyone seemed to be gone, dead. His friends, Pack mates, all gone.

(The Aftermath) Parker got his family in order, liquidated his assets and packed up his twin sister and the kin that worked for them at the Pawn Shop. He put the plan together to move to Florida, The plan was to originally move to Jacksonville but decides to keep away from huge Metro cities as far as a home goes and opts for Starke, Florida.His priority from now on is to keep his Wife, Daughter and Sister safe as he soon realized that his Brother Ben also died in that mess back in New Orleans. Parker now decides he will now focus his martial skills once more to better protect his family and himself. He opens his own Dojang and focuses on helping his wife rehab and even opens a store next door for her to sell her herbs and such. He started to tentatively reach out to the local Sept in and try to make some kind of connections, he is once again in doubt of his place in the Nation…..
