His first name was at his american father's insistence, to avoid his son being belittled for his heritage. It did not help.[/i] • [b]Curse of the Wendigo[/b] | [i]Elwood is the current bearer of his family's curse, possessed by a malevolent spirit known as the Wendigo. His grandmother has cared for two previous bearers of the curse before him, and he has learnt from her how to cope.[/i] • [b]Repressed Memories[/b] | [i]Elwood has only blacked out from his condition once, and while his consciousness was pushed aside, it was not suppressed. He is aware that the incident happened, but the events have been censored by his own psyche, surfacing only in terrible nightmares.[/i] • [b]Dietary Restrictions[/b] | [i]While Elwood suffers no allergies or food intolerance, he keeps to a strict vegetarian diet, as the consumption of meat can act as a prime trigger of the Wendigo spirit. He has faltered once or twice, indulging primarily in burgers or seafood when he wavers.[/i] [b]//Paraphernalia: • Item 1[/b] | [i]Description[/i][/sub][/hider] [/cell][cell][sub][b] Appearance Details[/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [indent]Elwood's minimalist, monochrome fashion sense is self-tailored to understate (or perhaps underscore) the unique peculiarities of his facial structure afforded to him by his mixed-race heritage - Egyptian on his father's side, and Native American on his father's. His sharp cheekbones and large eyes give him a naturally piercing, inquisitive stare, and many people have felt uncomfortable under his gaze, as if he were silently unearthing all of their secrets or, more accurately, sizing them up for a meal. Due to his pre-existing condition, Elwood does tend to shy away from much of the social interaction his day-to-day offers him, seceding from others as his anxiety and possession overruns him - as such, his body language and general posture is nearly always reserved and defensive. There are very few people he is open with, and no one he completely relaxes around.

While the spirit's full power is locked away by Elwood's resistance to being overrun, its mere inheritance of his body lends certain boons and drawbacks.[/i][/indent] [indent][indent]◼ Supernatural Durability | [i]The Wendigo's skin can be likened to ancient stone - old, superficially cracked, but immeasurably strong. While Elwood has absolute control, he retains only a small portion of the Wendigo's true invulnerability, as well as its resistance to cold temperature, but as the spirit wrestles more and more control over Elwood's body, the Wendigo's skin is soon able to withstand harder and harder blows, until it cannot be harmed at all.[/i][/indent][/indent] [indent][indent]◼ Supernatural Senses | [i]As the Wendigo gains control, Elwood's senses are enhanced to more befit an apex predator. Eyesight gets more accurate and motion-based, and Elwood's hearing and sense of smell also dramatically improve. Elwood does not experience any of these improvements while he has full control.[/i][/indent][/indent] [indent][indent]◼ Supernatural Agility | [i]As the Wendigo gains control, Elwood is able to utilize incredible bursts of speed to leap great distances, dodge incoming obstacles, or clamber up buildings. The Wendigo often employs this agility to perch in a hidden spot, remaining perfectly still before pouncing on unsuspecting prey. Elwood does not experience this enhanced agility while he has full control.[/i][/indent][/indent] [indent][indent]◼ Supernatural Strength | [i]As the Wendigo gains control, Elwood's strength ramps up, allowing him to lift men single-handedly, stop cars and motorcycles, punch dents into brickwork, and smash through obstacles with frightening ease. Elwood does not experience this enhanced strength while he has full control.[/i][/indent][/indent] [indent][indent]◼ Supernatural Physiology | [i]As the Wendigo gains control, Elwood's body twists and morphs to better suit the predator that is taking over. His mouth splits and enlarges, growing fangs while the jaw unhooks itself in order to open wider, while his pupils dilate and his sclera turns black. Elwood's limbs stretch out, his body becoming emaciated as mass is transferred, and his skin grows white and cold, while talons spring from his hands and feet. The stronger the Wendigo's possession becomes, the further the transformation goes, but these changes are lost as Elwood enforces his will upon the spirit.[/i][/indent] [B]◼ WILLPOWER |[/B] [i]Long years of suffering under the Wendigo has sharpened the mind of every member of the Tahki family, Elwood included, and honed within them a sharp and powerful force of will, allowing them to resist the Wendigo's possession.[/i] [b][i]Limitation(s)[/i][/b] | Description should be at least a paragraph with three defined limitations [b][i]Weakness(es)[/i][/b] | Description should be at least a paragraph with exploitable weaknesses.[/INDENT] [sub][b]//Skills:[/b][/sub] [INDENT][b][i]Example Skill[/i][/b] | Description[/INDENT][/INDENT] [sub][b] Supporting Cast[/b][/sub] [sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub] [indent]Any relevant characters you will be playing alongside your primary POV in order to flesh out the world around you.
