[hider=The Aspect][b]Archetype:[/b] 
Feral, Mystical
[b]Name:[/b] 
Timothy Moreland, listed as initially missing and presumed deceased as of February 23rd, 2013. The astral entity colloquially referred to as "The Aspect" operates under any number of names, appearing to have no real concept to any of them or any loyalty to the ideal. Known functional aliases include but are presumed not limited to "Scott Penn", "Christopher Snow", and "Mark Theron" but other informal titles directly related to its being exist as well, some of which it has addressed itself by as "The Wilder" or "The Red".
[b]Alias:[/b] 
"The Aspect", or simply "Aspect", is the functional designation used for the sake of convenience.
[b]Age:[/b] 
Moreland portrays an apparent physical age of twenty-six years while generous estimates place the the Aspect as young as 41,290 BCE. As with its name, little is known or understood about the "Aspect" due to its non-living nature.
[b]Powers:[/b]
Mysticism or "pure magic" of and relating to the soul or spirits as well as interaction with the astral plane, see index references to Astral Manipulation with special emphasis on subsets of Astral Attacks, Astral Fortitude, Astral Projection, Astral Trapping, and Astral Vision. The most notable and overt of which is the manipulation of the body and soul, the method in which the "Aspect" manages to control the deceased, formerly Moreland. Because the "Aspect" is a spiritual entity, it can assume a variety of forms by manipulating itself, although it only takes a select set of them and will not vary. These are presumed to be in conjunction with its "feral" identity, that its make-up is biased in a certain direction and will not, even if reasonably capable of it, deviate from that. 

Because the "Aspect" is a non-physical entity regularly, it is not regularly meaningfully harmed by material, physical interaction with the universe. While it can be disabled in the bodily world or even "killed" in that sense, such as by outright destruction of its possessed, manipulated form, the "Aspect" itself is only readily discorporated and pushed back into the astral plane, where it may manifest again in spirit form or simply remain there. Regularly, it will choose to to fight from either or both perspectives, tearing at soul and flesh alike with claw and fang.
[b]Weaknesses:[/b]
Magic, note that spiritual entities are only readily physically and supernaturally vulnerable to forces of magic. While all forms of magic still impact them, some forms of magic are highly ineffective, such as those that manipulate the living or cause harm based on physical approximation. As consequence, psychic powers are much more effective as they directly confront and attack astral beings on a level that regularly only other astral beings can, another subset of its weakness to magic. Likewise, their physical manifestations into the world are not immortal even if unnaturally resilient and capable of functioning up to outright destruction.
[b]Alignment:[/b]
[i]Neutral, Walking the Line[/i]
[b]Personality:[/b]
Aloof, Cunning, Mystical, Predatory, Prideful
[b]Appearance:[/b]
Average in both weight and height for age, Moreland is a non-distinct adult white male with brown hair and brown eyes. Despite his status as an actually dead person, operant in body and name only, Moreland bears no evidence of his animation by the "Aspect" outwardly. Guided to appear like most his peers and draw as little attention to himself as possible, he frequently dresses appropriate for the occasion but never anything particularly well off; always subdued and likely to be ignored, fade into the background. Moreland is the type of regular person, presumably on purpose, who one would forget upon meeting them unless something unusual happened during that instance. As result, Moreland often at most wears a sweatshirt, jeans, and trail shoes, but will feign being affected by weather such as through appropriate dress.

The "Aspect", however, when manifest through Moreland or whatever it is in possession of, often takes its chosen form of an enormous cat. For obvious reason as it it is the "Aspect of the Ferine" or some spirit of old still left lingering that has coalesced to embody a number of ideals of its archetype. While it can change shape and size appropriately, as well as make itself "invisible" by entering the astral plane, while in possession of Moreland it cannot perform these more exotic changes such as its innate quality of being unseen by mundane methods. Regardless, it manifests physically and in astral forms as the aforementioned animal to do the majority of its work when it needs act directly.
[b]Biography:[/b]
On Friday, February 22nd, 2013, at approximately 0952 hours, Timothy Moreland, a twenty-six year old college history student, departed on a solo hike in the Appalachian Mountains from Mountain City at the trail head of Ace of Clubs Trail, Warpath State Park. By 2300 hours, Saturday, Februrary 23rd, while it was determined he was missing, law enforcement were not notified by his roommates until that following Monday, more than forty-eight hours later. After several days of searching Warpath State Park and reasonable avenues of approach or departure, neither Moreland or his vehicle could be found, leading police to broaden their search. Moreland was never found and was never heard from again.

Unfortunately, Moreland had at some point during one of his nights lost in the forest encountered extraordinary phenomena and while it is unclear if he willingly addressed it or had attempted to flee from it, he did not see the sunrise of Monday. Moreland suffered a fatal fall from a mountainside scree field on Ace of Clubs Trail and was revived, physically, by the same thing he had encountered during his time in the forest. For all intents and purposes, this is where the story of Timothy Moreland ends. It is unclear why there was astral phenomena along this section of Warpath State Park, however, speculation by those informed on the incident itself suggest that he was targeted, likely because he was alone, lost, and vulnerable, and would serve as an excellent means to complete the objectives held by the "Aspect". After assuming the identity of the victim, the "Aspect" had an entry and a way into the world, further leading some to suggest it had been banished for an extended period, as its effective death is implausible.

In turn, the "Aspect of the Ferine" disappeared for a time and so did Moreland as consequence. Only relatively recently of the past year has there been growing evidence to suggest that the "Aspect" is overtly active again and acting on its agenda. What that agenda is, is unclear, but appears to orient around a pursuit of some kind that is relentless and singularly focused.
[b]Potential Storylines: [/b]
There is no reason the "Aspect" posing as Moreland cannot be convinced to and from either side of Mountain City's forces. Its agenda is its own and it has no through and through loyalties, making it a readily available ally if the interests align. While this design makes it untrustworthy to the ends of others and difficult to manipulate long term, it is a force with as of yet shaped direction.
