HISTORY; The nature of his conception had quite frankly been one big mistake, his parents were at a fairly average age by the time they got pregnant but both were leaning towards the hippy-trippy side of life, in the sense that they smoked dope on a regular basis. It was during one such smoking session that things got a little carried away and nine months later their accidental bundle of joy was being delivered in the back garden. Why the back garden? Well the birthing pool wouldn't fit indoors what with all the furniture and relatives. You see despite being slightly lower class the Wahlberg and Strait clans were both big ones, for example at the time of Ferris's birth there was five people living in the one house, including his parents. The people were Heather and Stanley, his grandparents of his father's side and his uncle Liam - related to his mother and facing a tough divorce at the time and finally his own parents Luna and Keifer. The rest of his family lived very close by save for his uncle Calvin but we'll discuss him later.
Little Ferris was not the only child to be born into the family that year, eleven months prior to his birth his cousin Ava Sinclair was born, daughter of his aunt Lyla and uncle Martin. The children were somewhat forced into a friendship as soon as they were old enough to crawl but they had no interest in one another, much more content to play with their toys rather than one another. Of course, parents being parents thought they knew best and shoved the children together right up until they started school. You see there was one stark contrast between Ferris and Ava and that was their schools, they were so drastically different because one was a private academy and the other was public school. Three guesses which cousin went to which school. Lyla's husband Martin came from an upper class family and had inherited his parent's money when they passed away the year previous, sending his two children to private school seemed logical. The biggest difference though? Well Ava's private school was in a completely different country, the school was based in Italy and it was considered the best of the best - finally Ferris would be rid of the annoying spoiled girl he was forced to entertain for years. Sadly it also meant he would be without his younger cousin Gordon who was in actual fact pretty awesome.
Ferris would learn to make do once he too started school, you see he quickly learned to adore school, fitting in so well within the confines of the educational hours. Back then he befriended people easily and while he was far from the most popular kid in school he was very well liked. The trouble was that he liked to cause havoc, he quickly earned the title of class clown and was forever being pulled into the Principal's office in those early schooling years. It was never for anything too serious though and the worst punishment he got was detention which was only a one time deal and it was because he was caught trying to sneak into the girls bathroom for a dare. To call Ferris a trouble maker would be putting it lightly. Much to everyone's surprise young Ferris excelled in two classes above all others and that was Home Ec, with Music coming in as a very close second. Ferris enjoyed Home Ec, no matter how his friends would jest and tease; his muffins were to die for too and whenever there was some kind of event on at his school he would make muffins for all his friends. Music was a natural talent of his too and he adored the class itself because the teacher was so wonderful. Her name was Mrs. Hartley and she would go on to become a very close friend of Ferris's but that wouldn't be for some years after he'd left school.
Mrs Hartley was a singer by trade and she was even in a local band for the short two years she taught at his school. She was also very young for a teacher, only twenty three when she was accepted into the role and twenty five when she left to pursue other hobbies. Because of Mrs Hartley Ferris seriously considered becoming a teacher and actually took up the guitar, promptly swapped it for bass and studying religiously for his Grades. He had no real singing talent and he wasn't altogether sure if the lyrics he penned out of boredom were any good but by Jove, he was enjoying every second of it which was why he was so upset when his parents told him they were removing him from school. Hurt and confused Ferris assumed he was being punished for the amount of detentions he had no accumulated over his limited amount of schooling years, or perhaps his parents were just angry that some teacher was making him stay up until the early hours of the morning playing his bass through a tiny amp and singing out of key. As it happened Luna was pregnant again and she wanted her son home to help around the house while Keifer worked, that was their stupid, selfish reasoning for home schooling the youngster.
Ferris was ten when Cecelia Wahlberg was born and like him she was born in a birthing pool at home, only this time it was indoors and dope had not been involved in any shape or form. Cece - as she would be known by her brother - was to be home schooled just like her older sibling, only she would never know the wonders of the modern day school and instead grow up to be even more eccentric than Ferris. Cece's birth also opened another can of worms and this is where I mention Calvin again - you remember him from the first paragraph? Well it turned out that Uncle Calvin was booted out of his family for the simple matter of his sexuality. You see Calvin was gay and was in an gay relationship when his parents caught him in bed with another boy from his school. As soon as Calvin was dressed and the other boy dealt with he was thrown from the house with nothing but a suitcase, his two sisters and brother were all forbidden to talk to him ever again and so Calvin never got to know Ferris as he would have liked. The same mistake would not be made with Cece though and Calvin made sure of this by turning up completely out of the blue one summer evening a few weeks after Cece's birth.
Needless to say plenty of drama ensured with tears, hugs, shouting and laughing and I won't type it all out because it's fairly irrelevent to Ferris. Save for the fact that uncle Calvin would be the one to properly explain homosexuality to Ferris and that the two musicians would form a close relationship over the years. Now as we know music is a passion of Ferris's but what I have failed to mention is his love for animals and how the road to his dream career became clear. In order to properly explain everything I must start by discussing Keifer's career choice as the events occurring as a result of this choice shaped Ferris in the man he is today. Now in typical Wahlberg fashion Keifer's profession was not a conventional one but it was impressive and rewarding all the same, you see Keifer was a K-9 Officer with the local police force. I told you it wasn't exactly conventional. Because of his need to know the dogs he worked with very well Keifer was required to take the animals home with him; his first 'partner' was called Boxer, a very typical name for a K-9 Animal Officer don't you think? Boxer was very close to Keifer and in return Keifer was fond of his animal colleague however just a few short years into their time together Boxer had to be put down after developing cancer. Keifer was given another dog almost right away, this one was called Winston but don't let the name fool you, he was ten times the raging animal Boxer was and Keifer's children were not allowed anywhere near the animal. However the older Wini grew the more docile he became and soon enough, when Ferris was just starting high school, Wini was retired and Keifer asked to keep him as a pet.
Now there are very serious risks to keeping a retired police dog as a pet, it isn't like a human retiring you understand. These dogs have been trained to do one job and one job only since they were nothing more than pups so it ws only a matter of time before Wini bit someone. It wasn't a serious bite but it was enough to draw blood from the hapless next door neighbor that hand belonged to. Sadly after much deliberation it was decided that Wini should be put down too, the risk of him biting another person was far too high and Keifer just couldn't take the risk. You might be wondering now, how is it that a seemingly normal (I'm using that term loosely) boy wound up being schooled here? Of all places? The great family secret is of course, what else? Ferris first shifted when he was nine, it hurt and he cried for hours afterwards but his parents were overjoyed to see him shift. It's a bit like a bar mitzvah for shifters, only a bit cooler obviously. Despite shifting young, Ferris didn't gain much control over it until he hit puberty, picking the form of a boston terrier as his default, if you will. Dogs, as you may have guessed, have always been a strong figure in his life and it seemed only natural for him to shift into something so excitable and odd. That and there is some irony in an incredibly lanky boy shifting into a tiny little dog. Boarding school had never been an option for Ferris until he found out about this place, his parents took a long time in deciding wether or not to even send their son back, having home educated him for so long. When Ferris was sixteen he arrived here, and he's loved it since; sure there are perks to being home educated, but he loves the adventure of staying away from home, and being surrounded by people like him? Well that's just brilliant.

RPING SAMPLE;tally mercer was sat at the foot of her bed, an over sized towel wrapped around her body and a small one twisted around her head like a make shift turban. she'd been sat here so long that her skin was practically dry, and her damp scalp itched horribly under the towel. she was being incredibly lazy and clacking away at the keyboard of her laptop - surfing facebook and tumblr for the last twenty minutes, despite having a busy day ahead of her. we're all done it, right? right. sighing as she came to the conclusion that nothing was going to miraculously appear out of thin air to entertain her, tally closed her laptop and looked around the room absently. she should probably get dressed soon, she was supposed to be meeting up with the tour manager later to go over details of not the droid's upcoming tour. not to mention she had to pack a whole load of shit, and send the obligatory 'i'm away on tour, i'll send pictures!' e-mails to her friends. tally hated being productive, it went against her very hectic, spontaneous nature - that was exactly why she picked up her mobile instead of getting changed. she scanned through the contacts, picking a person who was likely to be free for the afternoon - jesse chapman was the name she landed on. as good a boy as any, she clicked the call button on screen and held the phone to her ear.
"good afternoon," she spoke in an over the top posh, english accent, so unlike her laid back bristolian twang. "my name is talulah mercer and i'm calling to request the company of one jesse chapman for lunch this very afternoon," she paused to allow herself a small giggle. "if mr chapman could give me a call back i would be so happy he might just get lucky," she finished with a cackle of laughter, slipping out of the posh accent to her own. "nah, but seriously sugartits, i'll take you to that tapas place if you want? call me" with her pointless and faintly ridiculous voicemail left, tally finally went about getting ready for the day ahead. she wasn't the kind of girl who took forever to pick an outfit, in the end she settled with a pair of whitewashed jeans (they're making a comeback goddammit!) and an oversized t-shirt, slung over to the left slightly so it exposed a shoulder; it had a giant crescent moon on the front and was actually a recent addition to tally wardrobe. she didn't buy clothes very often, instead preferring to wear her t-shirt until the got too small, and even then she would take a pair of scissors to them and customize them somehow. as always, tally left her hair to dry naturally, ignoring the occasional droplet that rolled down her front, or was soaked up by her t-shirt. by way of make up, tally smeared on a neutral eyeshadow and clear lipgloss, a quick swipe of blusher and a rather generous amount of mascara. the only one she needed to wear every day (on account of her feeling quite strange if she didn't) was mascara. she had got it into her head a long time ago that she had small eyes, and since had been obsessed with making her lashes as open as possible.
finally set, tally left the apartment she shared with her best friend - who was probably off with her boyfriend at the moment. tally refused to let herself get jealous, although it was very difficult seeing the girl she'd thought been in love with canoodling with someone else. she muttered incoherently to herself as she descended the stairs and stepped out in the brisk autumn air. she shivered automatically, having completely forgotten that new york was bloody freezing around this time of year, and having completely forgetting to grab her jacket on the way out. she looked back up at her building, weighing up the options in her head, freeze to death or climb six flights of stairs for a flimsy leather jacket. she chose option a and set on her way down the street, folding her arms tightly over her chest in some vain attempt to get some body heat about her. she walked to the subway, hoping against hope it would be warmer down there and it was, right until the train came steaming through the station. she was muttering to herself again as she stepped on the train.
the train took four minutes in total, when she climbed back up to street level, the tapas restaurant was one more block away, she was heading the right direction when her phone buzzed in her pocket. she smiled as she read the text from jesse. he'd agreed to meet her, she had to stop herself from feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. so maybe she had a teeny tiny crush on jesse, that wasn't why she'd wanted to spend time with him - in fact it wasn't even a real crush, more of a puppy dog thing. it'd blow over and no one (especially jesse) would have to know! tally reached the restaurant and looked around, trying to see the lanky streak of piss known as jesse - he wasn't here yet, and it was far too cold for her to wait outside for him. she walked into the joint and requested a table for two, practically purring as the comfortable warmth surrounded her. it was better than sharing a blanket and a cup of coco with a cutie. god she loved being warm. ever the facebook whore, tally pulled how her mobile and updated her status as she waited for jesse. seriously, the amount of time tally spent facebooking was becoming slightly worrying, actually strike that. really really worrying.
