He is a fat man with dark green eyes and grey hair shaved in a tonsure, a jovial expression usually on his face with an odd twinkle in his eyes. He dresses in a friar's clothing, basically robes and sandals, and carries around a walking stick. He's always seen carrying something to eat with him. [color=00746b][b]Monster:[/b][/color] In his monstrous form, the Whowie is giant, six-legged lizard with the head of a toad. He is seven feet tall (2.1m) at the shoulder, and is 21' (seven meters) from snout to the base of his tail, with his mighty tail about the same length. He is estimated to weigh several tons[/indent] [color=00746b][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Whowie comes off as a jovial, friendly person in the form of Brother Völlerei, often with a wise proverb for every occasion. He does seem a bit lazy, preferring not to do too much work. He does enjoy small talk, and sometimes even gets involved in games for amusement. However, Whowie's true self is that of a gluttonous sociopath, having no empathy for those he regards as cattle, even when he engages in friendly small talk to passing acquaintances or foes alike. He prefers to get food quickly and easily, without too much effort, as he doesn't want to waste too much energy when he is hungry (and he is almost always hungry). He's also rather selfish and thinks mainly of himself and his appetite, seeking delicious morsels and bountiful food. However, should he get really hungry, his hunger overcomes his reason and he becomes brash and short-tempered, losing all niceness and going for a quick win so he could eat his opponent as quickly as possible. He could be made to expend more energy or make more mistakes by starving him out, though trying to make it a game of endurance is risky given Whowie's considerable stamina. He remains lucid and talkative even in severe hunger, but is nastier about it and generally annoyed that his food is giving him such a hard time. [color=00746b][b]Class:[/b][/color] Lieutenant (Lt.) of Draygon [color=00746b][b]History:[/b][/color] Whowie was once a human, raised in an orphanage before going on to be a friar. However, he is neither a kind man, nor a good one; he was a greedy, jealous boy growing up, all his life he watched enviously as other people with better homes and better lifestyles feasted on food he could only dream of. Unable to get an apprenticeship, he settled for the vows of a friar, but then realizing what his vows had trapped him into. Frustrated, jealous, and bitter, he once went on a hunt to get some venison or meat during a meatless fast, and on his hunt he came across a man who promised him great power - and all he could eat. He could not say 'yes' fast enough - and was made a monster. In revenge for his denial, he turned on the convent his order was in, and devoured his former companions. In his rampage, he discovered he quite liked the taste of human flesh, and went on to devour a village. However, he realized he could 'double-dip'; as a human, he wormed his way into the courts of the well-to-do, using his skills as a friar to bless and carry out rites in order to get plenty of free food, before shifting into his monster form at night and eating everyone. From then on, he has been a jovial servant of Draygon, leaving deserted villages in his wake. Recently, Whowie's concerned his master's agenda wouldn't leave any humans for him to eat, so he's trying to set up a remote farm where humans would raise cattle for him to eat and offer sacrifices to appease his hunger. He's trying to build this project in secret, lest his master and the other lieutenants try to crush it and wipe out all humans for good. He uses his silvered tongue and priestly disguise to convince people to move there to protect them from monsters, all so he could rule them as a god and get his fill of food. [color=00746b][b]Abilities:[/b][/color] [list][*][b][color=00746b]Human:[/color][/b] In his human form, Whowie is a formidable opponent, deceptively strong and possessing great stamina. He also has several abilities to make him more dangerous. [list][*][i]Superior Strength and Toughness:[/i] Whowie is incredibly strong and tough even in his human form, capable of crushing a grown man to death with a hug. He can also take considerable punishment before going down. [*][i]Super-persistent Predator:[/i] His biggest threat is his stamina. While the Whowie is not a fast runner, he is incredibly persistent and enduring, allowing him to tail or hunt down prey and outlast them, following them until they're exhausted before picking them off at ease, or waiting till they're asleep to finish them off. [*][i]Silent Hunter:[/i] Whowie is incredibly light on his feet, and can choose not to make a noise as he approaches, allowing him to surprise enemies. He can move so silently he can sneak into towns and villages at night, eat everyone there, and leave only his tracks behind. [*][i]I Can Smell You![/i] Whowie has a strong sense of smell matching a bloodhound, and can smell people from a ways off. He can use this ability to track them down. [*][i]Long, Sticky Tongue:[/i] Even in human form, Whowie's tongue is as long as he is. He can strength his tongue to a length of several feet, and grab or ensnare an opponent. He can use it to lift smaller targets with ease, and even pull strong men with it. [*][i]Big Eater:[/i] Whowie can unhinge his jaw like a snake, the grotesque feat allowing him to swallow a human whole. He can even 'store' someone in his gullet, usually as a blackmail tactic, but he repeatedly says that someone wriggling in there causes him to salivate and tempt him to just swallow the person and digest them.[/list] [*][b][color=00746b]Beast:[/color][/b] As a beast, Whowie becomes a bigger and much more menacing opponent, especially against individuals or even small groups of people. [list][*][i]Big, Green, and Mean:[/i] In beast form, the Whowie is a massive foe, and has the strength to match his massive size. He can crush people under his weight or smack them around with any of his six great paws. [*][i]Big Whompin'Tail:[/i] His tail is big and muscular, capable of swatting aside teams of soldiers with ease, and smashing through stone walls. [*][i]Big, Long Tongue:[/i] Whowie's tongue is longer than the rest of him, and can reach about a couple dozen feet when stretched. It can grab or stick to anything and pull them to Whowie, or crush them in its grasp. He prefers to use it to grab prey, though, so just uses it to grab people and pull them to him. [*][i]Slow But Steady:[/i] While he's faster in his Beast form than his human form, he can still be outrun by healthy humans (even young children), but his biggest strength lies in his boundless stamina and fiendish persistence, following prey for days or even weeks. [*][i]Enhanced Senses:[/i] Whowie's senses are much stronger in beast form, licking the air with his tongue to pick up any scents, and using his bigger eyes to see targets even at a distance. He can spot the scents of individual people even in a crowd this way, and can see quite well in the dark. [*][i]I'm a Humanitarian![/i] Whowie's appetite is much bigger in beast form, and his much bigger mouth allows him to swallow several people at once, or even bigger prey like cows and horses whole. He swallows them and digests them in his massive stomach. He can eat whole villages at a time, people and cattle alike, though that would take him a week to digest and he'd need to sleep it off, remaining in his humungous beast form all the time. Once he's done digesting, he can return to human form to move about freely. [/list][/list] [color=00746b][b]Equipment:[/b][/color] Whowie carries around only a few items in a bindle and backpack, generally maps, spare food (plenty of it!), and a few tools for the road, such as a flint and steel for fire and a butcher's knife for cutting food and meat. He also carries around a holy book and rosary to keep up his charade of being a holy man, as well as a small purse for coins and other valuables. [color=00746b][b]RP Notes:[/b][/color] Whowie's main aspect is being somewhat friendly and talkative even to enemies, but retaining an arrogance and sense of superiority; I mean, since when did you treat your sandwich as an equal? He's meant to be a slow horror threat; moving at plodding speeds, but with enough patience and persistence that he could outlast his prey and slowly run them down. When fighting, he's meant to be a tank; slow but steady, and crazy strong, both in human and beast form, with a long tongue and tail that gives him a bit of reach.
