[color=9e0039][b]History:[/b][/color]
Coyote was born in Seattle, WA, to a neglectful mother and an absentee father, and lots of time to himself to ponder his situation. He was something of an unruly child, growing up without much in the way of boundaries or limits on his behavior, so he ended up having to learn those lessons himself. Sometimes the hard way. As things piled up, and Coyote's behavior became unacceptable, his father finally took notice, and tried to find a more constructive outlet for his son to pour his energies into. Remembering his own rowdy youth, he had an idea, scraped up what money he could spare, and bought Coyote a well-worn acoustic guitar for his 14th birthday, with the promise that he'd actually learn to play it.

To everyone's surprise- not the least of which Coyote's own- it started to spark a change in the young man. For once in his life, even if it wasn't perfect, he had something beautiful to call his own, to use. He started slowly, at first; stumbling plucks at the strings, hesitant starts and abrupt stops. But as his practice continued, and his skill grew, it became clear that Coyote had an innate gift for music. It wasn't perfect, and there were still troubles every now and again. But for once in his life, he had something worthwhile to pursue. Through his skill and hobbies, he even met others who shared his interests, finding his first real friends, and hitting upon a brilliant (supposedly) idea: to form a band. And so, with a little stumbling here or there, the band Bones was brought into being.

Throughout high school, and just after, Bones played at every venue they could book in Seattle, everything from bars to birthday parties, and anything in between. They played at "battle of the band" competitions, making a name for themselves on Seattle's independent scene. Eventually, however, it became clear that Bones was never going to get any bigger just playing for drunk clubgoers or wedding guests. It was Coyote who found what could promise to be their big break- a national competition in New York, where the grand prize would not only give them the means to live comfortably for quite a while, but where their victory might even get them noticed by someone with clout in the industry- enough to get them into a proper recording booth, at least.

So, guitar in hand, Coyote and his bandmates boarded a plane, headed off to seek their "destiny," or whatever. Little did Coyote know, however, what destiny [i]actually[/i] had in mind for him...

[color=9e0039][b]Personality:[/b][/color]
Aggressively cheerful, Coyote is loud, brash, and never shy about speaking his mind in the slightest. He's fiercely protective of those he considers friends, especially his band, Bones. He may have trouble reining in his passions sometimes, but he never means any harm in it. Not intentionally or directly, anyway. He particularly has a fondness for good food and drink, especially when he can share it with others. Despite his loudness, Coyote is a fairly intelligent and thoughtful sort in his downtime, with a special interest in science fiction and/or urban fantasy novels when he can find time to read.

He's a surprisingly picky eater, being a line cook at his "day job."

[color=9e0039][b]Abilities:[/b][/color]
Coyote can play both bass and guitar proficiently (acoustic and electric alike), and is passable on drums and vocals. He's also a decent brawler, given a chance to show off.

As of the start of the RP, Coyote's Stand has not manifested yet. When it does, however...

[color=9e0039][b]Ability:[/b][/color]「Hellbent」can generate ghostly flames that can give just about anyone some serious burns on their own, but their true power is their ability to be infused into any nonliving matter or object. By doing this, the matter or object is drawn into the user’s “Pocket Hell,” allowing them to shape and enhance it in myriad ways. For instance, a pile of rocks or a trash bin can, with time, be molded into a weapon. Enhancing a knife makes it more durable and gives it a heated edge. A handgun now has unlimited ammo and shoots fire bullets, and so on. Since said items are now part of the user’s Pocket Hell, they can be stored along with the Stand, in the user’s soul.

There are limits to this power, however; infusing a ready-made item is much easier than altering unorganized matter, the more complex the object, the longer it takes to infuse, and the larger the amount of matter, the more energy it takes to finish the job. To infuse an object also requires the Stand to be touching the object for the entire process- if they were forced to stop for any reason, they’d have to start again from the beginning of the process.

「Hellbent」itself is also not all that durable.[/hider][/hider]
