Name of character: Gerald "The Boss" Perdu Your name (nickname), only if something other than your screen name: BOSSEH Age: ??? (Very old) Gender: Male Appearance: Pale and hunched over with no hair and a hooked nose. Constantly shaking and bandaged to cover the places he's injected himself. Actually wears nice close including a snazzy jacket. Personality: The Boss, as he is known by his entire family, has a personality born entirely of his circumstance. He was born to two shifting parents and was fascinated by their ability as a child. They both died when he was 18 in an accident. They had lived most of their lives in a group of shifters and thus as adults had very little money to leave him. Instead, The Boss simply waited for his shifting ability to come to him in the hope that he too would join the group they had once been a part of. However, by his mid-twenties there was no sign of the latent ability unlocking within him, which went against everything his parents had explained. The Boss went searching for the answer to this conundrum, refusing to believe that it simply wasn't in his genetic coding. He travelled the world for many years using the little money his parents had scrounged together and met with shifters everywhere, from temples to back alleys, from oceans to mountain tops and yet none could answer him on how to shift. He had been told as a child that shifting was his birthright, and that shifters could easily find their place in this world. It felt as though a piece of himself had been stolen from him. Thankfully his travels were not fruitless. He met many a lover throughout the world, and even stories spread of the non-shifter determined to reclaim the ability fate had forsaken him. He eventually had a following of people who too wished to join him in his quest to shift. From those who were his lovers, The Boss received many children and decided that they too would one day shift as he should have been able to. This mass of followers and relations became known to him as 'Family'. Among them were rich donors, turning the Family into an organisation called the Servals. The Boss came to care for all of those part of the inner family. They had the same struggle as he did, the loss of identity from never being able to shift. He was so lucky at one point to have one son that shifted, but the child died young from a disease. Getting on in his years, The Boss realised that the worldwide search his organisation had conducted was not enough. They would have to go deeper. They would have to go into the DNA which had betrayed each and every one of them. He conducted many experiments on himself, and still does to this day, desperate to unlock the potential in his genes. With all the effort he has put into this venture, he no longer cares about the children who die under his knife or the knives of his scientists. He only wants one thing - to cure the inability to shift that he and his family has. Even if he must die doing it. What we have here is a man with a purpose. The only thing he cares equally about is his family, and this is all for them. Rank: THE BOSS Group: Mafia Animal: Non-shifter Weapon and Fighting style: In his travels, learned how to use a bo. His walking cane makes for a nice substitute, but he's incredibly fragile all the same.
