Name: Soah Lander Age: 24 Gender: Male Race: Human, infected with Lycanthropy Appearance: Soah has long dark hair, that's shoulder length. While the hair is long in the back, Soah manages to keep most of the hair out of his eyesight. The long dark hair is thick, and curls near the end of it's strands. Soah, being a traveler, doesn't typically take care of his hair, leaving it matted in some parts, and looking like a mop head most of the time. Soah is about 5'10, and a little on the chubby side, from being the son of a well-off baker. While Soah still has muscle mass, it's not a whole lot. He wouldn't seem threatening to anyone at all. the chubby part of him helps give his face a boyish like look to it, as well. Soah possesses a set of deep brown eyes, and a fairly normal looking face. He keeps a short stubble, but for the most part he attempts to keep himself clean shaven. He figures long hair with a full beard would make him look a little too dirty. Soah's skin is fairly pale, having worked inside his whole life and never really spending much time at all outside. Appearance, when the lycanthropy surfaces: Soah, while a lycan, stands roughly 7 foot 5 inches, and ripples with muscles. His fur is the typical light grey color of a wolf, along with the piercing yellow eyes. It takes time for Soah to fully transform into a lycan. Roughly about 2 minutes of full time will pass before the full transformation is over. During this time, Soah will start to gain canine-like features, including a influx of hair grown on his arms, legs, and face, sharp canine teeth, his fingers turnings into claws, and his muscle mass gaining. Clothing: Soah typically likes to wear loose fitting clothing, as it hides his chubby side fairly well (To which is very shy about). This includes a baggy beige tunic, along with a set of nice tan traveler's pants, which possess many pockets. Soah, being a traveler, possesses a pair of leather hide boots, which he adores. Along Soah's waist is a belt which carries multiple pouches, and bags, which he uses to carry the majority of his smaller gear. Soah also carries a medium size blue backpack with him, which he uses to store his larger gear, like blankets and food. Soah often likes to wear his dark blue cloak, which he usually stores in his backpack. His cloak his ripped and torn in many places, and has a permnant stain of mud on the bottom of the cloak, from where Soah's many journies have left their mark. Soah also carries a hat that he has grown fond of. The hat is a light blue flat cap, that looks fairly new. Soah acquired it during his travels, and wears it as often as he can. Weapons: Soah's only weapon he carries on himself is a short sword, which resides in it's sheath on his belt. Soah uses the short sword for many tasks. Cooking, skinning, digging small holes, picking his teeth, it's his catch-all tool. Because of this, Soah keeps up with it's care, and makes sure it is in tip-top shape. The short sword is also silver-edged, something that goes unnoticed to many people. Weapons, Lycan: Soah, while a lycan, has the obvious weapons a werewolf would have. Two powerful claws, and razor sharp teeth. While a lycan, Soah can take tremedous amounts of punishment, and keep on going. Possessing supernatural speed, strength, endurance, and even a fairly good sense of smell, Soah is very dangerous in lycan form. Probably the most dangerous thing about Soah's lycan form is that he has very little control in this form. Soah is not able to willingly turn into a werewolf, at any time. The only times he is able to turn is during a full moon, during a werewolves normal feasting period, and very his body is in danger. Only severe wounds, and the threat of death can cause Soah to fully transform. Soah, however, can some what tap into his lycan powers, while retaining control. Only under extreme stress will this be possible, though, and Soah can often not control it. Tapping into this slowly starts to make Soah's appearance change more and more into the canine look. A muzzle might start to appear, he may grow more hair, his nails may become longer and sharper, and he may gain more speed and strength. Soah's hand-to-hand prowess is very limited, leading to a more brawler like approach to things. Personality: Soah is a silent man. He tends to keep away from social interactions. Soah will try his best to keep his silence, but will relent if pressed to speak up. Soah is a very short tempered man, and tends to be quick to anger and violence. If Soah let's stress and outside problems overwhelm him, he could lose slight control to his lycan-side. Luckily, though, Soah has become skillful at getting himself to calm back down, and keeping his cool. Despite his personality, though, Soah has an unatural deep and gruff voice, that often makes people nervous around him. Underneath, Soah can be a 'nice' guy to his friends, but always attempts to keep up his tough-guy persona. Stress can wear down Soah, though, and he eventually gets to the point where he relishes a chance to cut loose a little, and become a little dangerous. History: Soah was born to a well-made baker in the Captiol city. Noblity, and well-known people would often come in (or their couriers would) to grab food. The food was well of quality, and fairly cheap for Captiol food. Soah learned the baker's trade early, and was prepared to take over his father's business. However, a group of self-styled werewolf hunters came to the Captiol, to much fanfare. Soah, yearning for an adventure at the ripe age of 15, volunteered to help the hunters, acting as a type of squire. The werewolf hunters decided to let this young boy tag along, mainly because they'd be able to get free food from Soah's father for their trip. During the long hunt, which lasted well over a month, Soah saw a lot of things. Destroyed villages, dead bodies mangled beyond recgonition, people thought to be infect by the lycan's bite executed by the group of hunters, and entire communites torn asunder by one beast. Soah soon learned to hate the monster, and whole race of them. Never before had Soah been exposed to this level of suffering, and he took a vow, in front of a priest and his adopted group of werewolf hunters, to slay every werewolf he came across. A bold move for a boy still in his teens. The hunt came to a conclusion a few days after Soah's oath. The werewolf, now in his human form, was hiding in a small shack, far from any village. Soah, being bold and brave, especially since the werewolf was now removed from his dangerous lycan form, took his knife and charged the man. The rest of the group watched, waiting for the young Soah to take his first werewolf kill and become an offical werewolf hunter. The fight between Soah and the man didn't last long. Soah had no idea how to kill a man, and only managed to wound the man. The man, powered by his Lycanthropy, started to turn. The tables were soon turned, and Soah was left badly injured, but badly hurt. The rest of the group of 'hardcore' werewolf hunters soon fled, with the werewolf hot on their heels. Soah, bloodied and in a bad state, stumbled for miles before coming across a small, peaceful village. The villagers, ignorant of werewolves, took Soah in, fed him and nursed him, until he was good enough to walk. After roughly three weeks, Soah was on his way out of the town. Soah remembered traveling at night, through the countryside, as he looked up at the wide blue sky. A full moon was out, and Soah, ignorant that he was infected, settled in a inn at the next village. Soah woke up the next day, mid-afternoon, and naked in the middle of the street with dead bodies caking the roads. It was only then that Soah realized what he had become. He cursed, swore, cried, and fought for several days, refusing to sleep. The young 16 year old boy was now a lycan, something he had swore to kill. Refusing to go back to the Captiol, for fear of his life and his families, he went on the run, traveling the entirety of the Arcarti continent. He kept to his oath, though, and any werewolf he came across, he slayed. Now 24, Soah has yet to kill a werwolf, and has somewhat given up on his dream. He perfers to travel, and see sights. He also uses his traveler alias as a good way to hide his lycan nature. Soah has prevented another incident, like his first one, and often subsitutes his feedings of humans for feedings on local fauna.
