[[ AROOOOO~!! ]]
Character Bio
■ Character Name: Wulfric Bayard
■ Nicknames: "Wulf" to friends, "Wulfy" to family or very close friends.
■ Aliases: Pupkin, Wolflet, etc. from his teasing older siblings.
■ Monster Parent: Werewolves!
■ Monster Species Type: Werewolf.
■ Gender: Male.
■ Age: 15.
■ Birthday: July 13.
■ Place of Birth: Portland, Oregon.
■ Residence: Currently the HH dorms. Family home is a decent sized house in a small Monster town near a shop called Bayard the Butcher, which his father owns.
■ (One) Power: Empathy: When touching another person (skin to skin contact) it opens a link to them on an emotional level. Wulf can sense and "read" the other person's emotions. If there is prolonged/a lot of contact, he might start experiencing their emotions himself. If there is contact with a group of people all at once for too long, it can be overwhelming to the point of confusion and disorientation for him. Highly emotional beings (traumatized people, "evil" people, ghosts?) will influence him more, so it might take a while for him to get over touching them, whereas a normal person closes the link as soon as the touch ends. Over time, his ability will likely develop into being able to track a person by their emotional signature on objects they had touched and left behind.
■ Personality:
- Wulfy is an easy-going sweetheart whose only aspiration in life is to have fun. He is friendly, curious, and enjoys making fun of people and himself, pretty much like every annoying little brother ever.
- Although he can be intelligent, he is easily distracted and naturally inclined to procrastinate with schoolwork or important things in favor of wasting time with frivolities. He'll just have to work on the laziness issue if he wants to pass his classes.
- Usually kind of quiet, but he can be a loud-mouth and childish at play or when he's especially angry. He doesn't get angry often, being able to roll with most things.
- He tends to lose his self-confidence and gets upset when someone he respects isn't pleased with him, and he'll seek out advice/leadership from a trustworthy person to rectify the situation. He does care about what people think of him, being sensitive to whether or not he's "liked" by people he wants to be on good terms with.
- Wulfy is an optimist and of a trusting nature. He was always the most sheltered of his family, leaving him rather naively open to people who would take advantage of the fact. He will often forgive a slight against him, but one too many times will earn that person a spot on his "not to be trusted ever again" list.

Relationships
■ Relationship with Family: Couldn't be better. Loves them, and is loved by them. He is the youngest of 4 children, with 3 older sisters. In the "pack" he's a natural omega, basically the peacemaker of the group.
■ Key Family / Relatives:
Father- Vilkas, a hardworking butcher who was brought up in a bad section of the crowded city, and knew that he wanted better for his family. Although he has his share of prejudices (against humans and some monsters) and a bad temper when his buttons are pushed, he is first and foremost a family man. He's a strict father who he teaches the necessity for respect and the rules, but there is no shortage of love for his family.
Mother- Wilhelmina, the protective matriarch of the family. Born to Native American humans in a small town, she was considered a blessing due to their ties to the wolf. Other humans, however, weren't pleased about living next door to a "cursed" family, and shunned them into hiding the baby's differences for their own safety. Eventually "Mina" grew up to resent the fact that she had to hide her nature, and moved to Portland to embrace the "weird" that the city seems to enjoy. She adores her husband and children but that doesn't mean she's any less strict about the rules.. well, maybe a little.
Sister- Deva, the oldest sibling and also the "pack" beta. She's been out of school for a year and thus considers herself successful enough to give advice on any subject whether you want it or not. An avid hunter, she enjoys helping her father with the family butcher shop, although she liked living in Portland better than the place they live now in the Monster world. When they moved, she had to say goodbye to some good friends.
Sister- Luna, the first of two twins and a highschool senior. Constantly in competition with her sister Selena, mostly because they both want to take over the family business someday and they disagree about absolutely everything. She is studious, a shameless rule-follower, and slightly geeky.
Sister- Selena, the second of two twins and also a highschool senior. Resents most forms of authority (aside from Mama and Papa.. usually) and doesn't get along with her twin at all. She's almost failed every class but somehow manages to pull through. The closest friend she has is Wulfric because he's an ear for her rants.
Biography
■ History: Wulfy was only 5 when his family moved from Portland to the Monster world, but he has some vague memories of it. They'd always had to be careful to stick together and watch who their friends were. It was a lot of bother for the older ones, but everyone thought a tiny child wearing wolf ears and a tail was cute! Wulfric never had much of a problem with other people, but he saw how his parents worried and was sad for them. After the move, Papa started his butcher shop and life seemed to improve for everyone. What dissension there may have been in the ranks was rarely voiced, because the children had always been taught to respect their elders. Papa never put much stock in a classical education, but Mama saw it as essential, so the family made their adjustments and Wulfric and his siblings were educated as well as they could afford. The older siblings were sent to a nearby all-girls school. With the opening of Horror High, although a bit far from home, his parents chose to send Wulfric to the new school.
■ Personal Goals: Having lived a rather sheltered life thus far, he hasn't had much of an opportunity to grow out of the "puppy" stage or make many of his own decisions. Needs to grow up some and expand his horizons. Also, a girlfriend would be nice.
■ Professional Goals: Eventually he might be the first of his siblings to attend Clawege. Deva preferred a life of action to academia, and the twins Luna and Selena plan to fight over the family business as soon as they graduate. Wulfric has absolutely no plans for the future.
--- Not necessary but fun
---Extra
■ Jewelry: Skully collar and matching belt.
■ Tattoos: None and probably won't ever get one.
■ Relationship with Friends: Good friends can be as good as family! ((If he ever gets a girlfriend, he'll probably be in puppy-love and do whatever she says, leaving himself open to be hurt if she doesn't like clingy-ness or wants to use him... he'll grow out of this though.))
■ Key Friends: Aoife, the rest are mainly acquaintances for now (Merida, Matchitehew, Cu, Robyn, etc.)
■ Key Enemies: N/A yet and hopes this area stays blank.
■ Educational History: Vilkas absolutely refused to send the children to a human elementary school, not only because they couldn't hide their ears and tails, but human children carry all kinds of diseases, don't they? So the Bayard pups were all home-schooled by Mina until they moved to the Monster World. As they grew, each child was sent to Moonview Middle School, an all-werewolves school. The Bayard parents decided to send Wulfric's sisters to an all-girls high school to finish their education. As there were no all-boys schools nearby, lucky Wulfric had to attend Horror High!
■ Work History: Whenever he spends time at the family shop, Wulfric gets to do the menial tasks like mopping the floors. What a joy. Vilkas always stresses the importance of hard work whenever someone brings up the subject, and he doesn't really appreciate the fact that his son isn't fighting over the family business like the twins do.
■ Key Childhood Experiences: Like all those times he was left at the Maul, or various shops, or someone forgot to pick him up at school? There have been a lot of those. One time during a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park back when Wulfric was four, Mina almost had to maul a mama bear that had come to investigate why Wulfy was playing with her cubs... He was given a present of a squeaky stuffed animal that looks like a baby phoenix for his 5th birthday ((thanks Krashed Bets!)). It's been with him ever since and smells of wet socks due to how much he's drooled on it over the years. He actually brought this thing to HH with him in his suitcase, and though it gives him comfort to have it, he hopes that nobody ever finds it.
■ Key Teenage Experiences: Living with the Bayards can be dysfunctional at times, mainly when the parents aren't at home. Then it turns into a (mock) battlefield. Wulfric's sisters seem to have made a pact that they've sucked him into that says as long as they clean the place up before their Mama and Papa come home, the "no parties" rule doesn't apply. What a great example they've set for him! Deva would always try to bring human things (and people) into their home, especially when Vilkas wasn't at home. If there was one rule their dad could get touchy about, it was "No humans we [and here he meant "I"] don't know allowed in the house"... and he never cared to know many of them.
■ Key Adult Experiences: Not there yet.
■ Morality / Ethics: Loyalty to family before anything. Your word is your bond.
■ Handedness: Right.
■ Skills: Plays decent piano, taught by his mother. Doesn't practice as much as he should, though. Werewolf traits of sniffing things out and advanced hearing also apply, so he's pretty good at tracking things down.
■ Phobias / Fears: Heights, and the doctor or medical procedures in general.
■ Bad Habits / Vices: Has a mischievous streak and could make inappropriate jokes. Also has the laziness issue and not wanting to do serious work.
■ Quirks: Can't sit still unless he's exhausted. Likes to sing and dance. Will do almost anything for food. Allergic to silver and chocolate. Lactose intolerant. Enjoys (tormenting) cats.
■ Best Qualities: Heart of gold, will treat you kindly if you've treated him well too. If you've got his trust, he's got your back.
■ Worst Qualities: If you don't know he's just joking around, his flippant nature could be insulting. He sees teasing as an act of love.
■ Favorites: PUPPIES! ... Enjoys classical music, but only if it's upbeat, also rock and jazz. Favorite food is anything MEAT (hates vegetables). Isn't an avid reader but loves fantasy/adventure genres, and the same goes for movies. "Horror" titles are enjoyed too, especially the scary ones with human monster hunters.
■ Style of Speech: Informal, no accent to speak of.
■ Commonly Used Words / Slang / Jargon: N/A.
■ Lies / Misinformation: Don't tell his family, but he isn't that fond of hunting or camping.
■ Other Important Details: N/A.
