Dimitri typically prefers to keep to himself, however he has very few issues being social in most settings, especially in parties, as he's known to be a bit of a social drinker. With his transformation being tied to his emotional state Dimitri has conditioned himself to remain calm and patient in the presence of a stressful situation, however there are still limits to what he can tolerate. [b]History[/b]: Dimitri's affliction takes on a much more ancient spin than what can be found in many of the cursed today. Originally born in South Africa, Dimitri was a member of a small splinter of the Sotho tribe that still clung heavily to the traditions of old. One such tradition was the usage of rituals, of which Dimitri was heavily expected to partake in due to his father's status as village shaman. Dimitri however had very little interest in this however, as the ever increasing expansion of modern civilization exposed him more and more to the outside world, he grew less and less attached the the realm of spirits. His father, in a desperate bid to win his son over, convinced Dimitri to participate in a very ancient and powerful ritual, one that would bestow upon him the wisdom and the strength of whatever spirit beast chose him. What remained of his spiritual nature allowed Dimitri to garner the attention of a few spirits, however his detachment ultimately saw him fail, and instead of gaining a spirit's wisdom he was cursed with it's form. With tradition dictating that failure in such a manner was to be punished with exile, Dimitri was booted out of his village in sort order and was forced to do odd jobs for the better part of five years until he'd gathered enough money to move to leave Africa and start fresh in an entirely new country. He's been here for five years now, working as a personal trainer, and has since learned how to carve out a living without accidentally turning and eating someone.

Transforming diminishes his intellect to that of a crocodile's while granting him absolutely monstrous strength. Being reduced mentally to a wild animal means that he isn't actively hostile, however as an opportunistic predator it's still ill advised to get too close when he turns. Dimitri's upbringing means that he can speak Sesotho.
