The Hull House Haunts
The Haunts consider their namesake their spiritual home, one that
they want to protect and cleanse. They've also taken on Jane Addams' vision of caring for the poor and unfortunate,
especially those of the Near West Side.
The pack
has come to believe that many troubles in their territory come from the Devil-Baby, a longtime haunt of Hull House.
The pack hasn't been able to rid Hull House of the Devil-Baby, and the pack members are running out of ideas on how to do
so.
And if that weren't bad enough, the Scorched Heavens pack has been making in-runs deeper and deeper
into the Near West Side.

Mercedes is a Hispanic woman in her late 30's, with completely average looks. Her hair is wavy
brown, and she falls on the short end of the yardstick. Shye's a practical dreser, preferring plain shirts and jeans,
which conceal her rippling muscles. In wolf form, her fur is silvery grey and slightly curled.
Mercedes wears several pieces of distinctive Southwestern style jewelry with turquoise and carnelian.
She carries a .45 (without a permit) as a means of looking after herself in the projects; she knows she doesn't need it, but
she hopes having the gun will keep her from having to rely on the monster inside her.

Since the death of his packmate, Kyle Wolf-at-the-door, Eric's quick grin is seen less, and he broods
much of the time. His warrior's spirit is raw and wounded, and nothing seems to goad him out of his depression.
Eric is almost painfully good-looking. He's tall and lean, with the all over muscles of a swimmer
or triathlete. His nose is clasically beautiful, and his eyes range in color from greenish hazel to gray-green-blue,
depending on his mood and dress. Eric's hair is dark and curly, and he's always at pains to be clean-shaven and descently
groomed. He's got more of a fashion sense than Mercedes and tends to choose garments that accentuate his features.
Eric's wolf form is equally stunning; it's rangy, with graying and tan fur attractively mingled and a well shaped skull.

Little Blue is an urban "primitive" child through and through. He's got a feral streak and a
body that fits awkwardly in its shell, as if he didn't quite know how to sit on furniture or otherwise comprehend general
social mores. Still, the boy innately carries a sense of hope with him; its possible that, right now, he's the main
glue holding the pack together, with the emotional troubles of Mercedes and Eric casting a pall on the group's affairs.
Little Blue has no concern whatsoever for clothes; he picks up what he can at cheap thrift stores and
ornaments himself with items he finds personally symbolic off the street, such as paper clips, bottle caps and even torn and
bloody pieces of fabric. In human form, his hair is dark normally but usually dyed blue. He looks like he did
his own hack job on his disarrayed locks, so that it's a bit spiky yet of varying lengths from front to back. Little
Blue looks to be around 15 years old, but has a knack for sometimes appearing even younger and more vulnerable. The
young Ithaeur's wolf form is dark grey, with a few scattered black hairs. Depending on his dye job, sometimes a few
blue hairs are mixed into the grey.
