AU History:
Stiles' AU is based on what would have happened in Teen Wolf if it was Stiles who received the bite in the first episode instead of Scott.

Scott refused to go with Stiles to go looking for the half of the body and thus Stiles went into the woods alone. During this period he stumbled across the top half of Laura Hale, and then he was bitten by the Alpha. And because Stiles is still very much Stiles, he is very confused by the Alpha because he knows there aren’t any wolves in California, but a wolf still seemed like the animal that attacked him.

The next day he finds Scott and starts talking to his friend about the events of last night. And Scott, as Scott, looks at Stiles with mostly confusion, but he is worried about his friend and what may have happened to him. During English Stiles picks up on a phone ringing, but it’s nowhere in the classroom, instead it’s the phone of a new transfer student. And Stiles stops listening right there because that’s incredibly weird. So instead of listening in on that conversation Stiles ponders the why of how he could possibly hear that. None of the classroom windows are open. It made absolutely no sense. So he spends the rest of the class trying to figure out what’s wrong. (Meanwhile Scott starts falling in love with Allison.)

During lacrosse practice Scott is chosen to go out onto the field, while Stiles opts for the bench. And then the whistle blows and suddenly Stiles is in excruciating pain for the few seconds it lasted. The moment its over Stiles is incredibly dazed and incredibly out of it for a good few minutes. Eventually his head clears enough that he’s watching Scott fail spectacularly out on the field.

Later Stiles convinces Scott to go into the woods with him to look for the dead body. They don’t find the body, but they do come across Derek Hale. Stiles relays Derek’s story to Scott, since Scott managed to forget the huge house fire that happened six years ago.

Eventually Stiles goes back home and starts looking up what could possibly be wrong with him. After a lot of stumbling through overly sensitive hearing and finding way too many dissatisfying links, he starts looking up wolves and wolf bites. That search eventually leads him to: Werewolves. Said search leads him to sit his ass down into the middle of the woods and really hope he’s wrong about this werewolf thing.

Unfortunately for him, he’s quickly proven right. Claws grow from his fingernails and he can feel the fangs forming from his blunt human teeth. He doesn’t panic too badly, he had an idea this would happen, but man did he ever wish he wasn’t right.

This is where Derek finds him and informs him that: Stiles is now a werewolf, the bite is a gift, and they’re brothers now. Stiles looks up at Derek like he’s crazy, but he did get bitten by a wolf-like creature. They have a very short conversation of how the hell Derek knows these things before hunters show up and attempt to blind them. Of course, Stiles listens to what Derek says so he covers his eyes and then they manage to run away. He spends the rest of the night with Derek, since there’s no better person to quiz on werewolf issues than somebody who’s been one their whole life. He also asks about the woman in the woods and learns that was Derek’s sister.

The day after Stiles realizes that the guy who shot at him in the woods is actually Allison’s father. Talk about awkward.

A couple days later and he ends up cornering Scott into a wall, he’s a new werewolf so he’s not a hundred percent control of himself yet. He’s stopped when Scott sprays him with a fire extinguisher. Scott decides that getting murdered is nowhere on his to-do list and decides that they should maintain a long distance friendship. Stiles accepts it because he does not want his best friends blood on his claws, plus Scott is really in love with Allison and distancing is probably best for both of them.

The biggest shift in Stiles’ history at this is growing steadily apart from Scott and getting closer to Derek. At least all the way up until prom. By then Stiles would know why Derek took his phone, he's track down Derek- so Lydia had to go in a group with Scott & Allison. Eventually Lydia detaches herself from that group and goes looking for Jackson, where she runs into Peter. Since Scott's still a good person he'll notice when Lydia's just nowhere to be found and he goes looking for her. So Scott comes across Peter and gets dragged along to help Peter find his two Betas.

This doesn't go very well, since Stiles' stuff is actually well locked and they really haven't been close recently. Since Scott isn't helpful at all in this endeavor he is killed by Peter, slashed across the throat.

This eventually leads to Derek killing Peter along with Stiles learning that Scott is dead, and Lydia was mauled.

Personality:
“I’m fine.”

Loyalty, wit, resourcefulness and bravery are some of Stiles' defining features. The bite didn’t change Stiles’ basic personality. He’s unfalteringly loyal to his friends, he’s sarcastic and talkative when it’s really a terrible idea, and brave when it comes to keeping his friends safe.

Loyalty is one of his greatest strengths. He's loyal even when it would be much easier to just leave somebody for the not so metaphorical wolves. If he cares about somebody he will do everything in his power to keep them safe. Everything his power isn't always a good thing, however. He will lie, manipulate and dodge questions if he thinks it's for the sake of helping people. But if Stiles is close to the person he is lying to, he does feel bad about it. On the other hand, if it comes to people he's not at all close to, he will do all things listed without remorse.

Stiles has very few good friends. Actually, Stiles only had one friend before he was bitten, and that friend was Scott Mccall. But because Stiles was still a new werewolf and he couldn't keep in control of himself he came very close to killing Scott once. That event distanced the two of them. But Stiles was still deeply affected when he learned that Scott died by Peter Hale's claw. Yet, despite the fact that the two of them had been growing steadily apart, Stiles took it very hard. When Stiles has given his friendship, trust and loyalty to someone nothing will ever shake those feelings.

His wit tends to manifest in sarcasm and biting words. He's not afraid to insult his friends, peers or enemies, even when he probably shouldn't. Stiles is also very likely to use his sarcasm as a method of defense. Technically he has better weapons these days, but old habits die hard and it's not like he can whip out the fangs and claws for all situations.

He is also highly resourceful. He will use whatever he can to give himself an advantage. This extends to both information and situations. If there's information that Stiles doesn't know that he needs to know? He will look up all of the potentially relevant information and store it away for later access. He also just enjoys collecting odd bits of knowledge, such as the entire history of the male circumcision. That's not to say that all is knowledge is textually based.

Stiles knows how to get into things and if he doesn't know a way, he knows people who do. Of course, some of these people don't know that Stiles has that kind of information on them. Stiles might know people's criminal records and interests, but he never brings it up until he needs that person's expertise. He's manipulative when he thinks it's for the greater good.

But as manipulative as Stiles is, he's not a good liar. In fact, every time he tries to lie, people can tell he's lying. So he's not at all convincing when he's trying to lie his way out of a situation. That doesn't stop him from trying though. So the way that Stiles manages to get around telling the truth is by derailing the inquiry into something else. He has a tendency to sidestep telling the truth.

He's also very brave. He walks out into the middle of the woods alone to try and find the missing half of a body. When he's bitten by a mysterious creature he goes right back into those woods to try and piece together exactly what happened.

Those are all things he shares in common with his canon counterpart. The difference here is the amount of guilt that Stiles caries on his shoulders. He thinks that his mother's death is his fault, he think's he's slowly going to end up ruining his father's life, and he truly believes that Scott's death is his fault. But as much guilt as he's carrying, he won't talk about it. Not unless somebody sat him down and forced him to talk. And even then it's like pulling teeth. He would rather talk about everybody else than talk about his own problems.

Powers:
He is a werewolf, and all werewolves in Teen Wolf have:
-Enhanced strength, speed and reflexes

-Transformation: As a werewolf he can actually change into a werewolf. Said form means claws, fangs, more facial hair and glowing eyes. He can also transform partially so it’s just the eyes or just the claws.

-Enhanced hearing and smell: Painfully good hearing and sense of smell. He can use scents to track people, and he can use his hearing to listen in on conversations a hallway away from him. He has a deep dislike of whistles.

-Living lie detector: Enhanced hearing and smell means he can listen in on the beating of people's hearts and it means he can tell when people are lying or nervous.

-Enhanced healing: Werewolves heal faster than humans do, a cut on a human takes a good few days to heal, while on a werewolf it only takes a few seconds to hours depending on the severity of the injury.

-Pain leech: The ability to take away pain from people and animals.

[He looks miserably at the mirror for a good ten minutes. A mirror. Seriously? He has to talk and write into a mirror? They really wanted him to help out here? The day after Scott had been pronounced dead and Lydia had been mauled? How helpful did they expect him to be like this.

He’s picked up on the smell of Derek. Not his Derek, but still an Alpha.

There’s a technology filter to Derek after all the mulling he’s been doing- it’s written.]


Hey. We need to talk. Pick a place and I’ll be there.

I don’t trust the mirror system. Especially not when I could just talk to you face to face.

Meme thread. Another meme thread.

Any Concerns:
Is there a moon cycle? Because Stiles is going to be very agitated around the full moon and should probably be locked up.
