xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxJack Strodexxxxxxxx


Nickname/Alias: Wanderer
Age: Maybe late 40's? Early 50's? Hard to know
Gender: Male
Race: Shifter
Clans: None as far as he knows
Classification: Traveler
Date of Birth: He thinks it was in the summer, it's what his instinct tells him
Orientation: Pansexual
Relationship Status: Single

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxPhysicalityxxxxxx

Physical Build: Jack is very muscular and lives a very outdoorsy life which helps maintain his physique. Jack doesn't particularly care for shifting but when he does Jack assumes the form of a two legged werewolf with a surprisingly silky yet tough coat despite the savage appearance. He likes to think it's because he bathes often.
Weight: Somewhere close to 200 or 190 ish pounds
Height: About 6'2
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color/Distinctions: Brown
Scars/piercings/markings: Scars and cuts peppering all over his body, some fresher than others.
Habits:
Jack has a very bad habit of getting right on top of people and giving them a good sniff to get their scent memorized, it usually leads to bad first impressions. (This is in his human form)

He also doesn't care for shirts since whenever he shifts his shirts always tear to shreds and so because of that he usually just wears pants since they usually seem to survive his transformations. Although he does try to remove them right before a fight if he can help it, he doesn't want to have to improvise anything.


Personality: Jack is surprisingly pleasant and down to earth man for the rather rough life that he lives. He has a rather good sense of humor and looks on the bright side of things rather then anything negative. Jack also does enjoy helping people out when they are in need, usually facing off against threats that would kill any normal person instantly. He's not a man who revels in bloodshed and instead only kills others out of necessity and he will not kill people who don't deserve it, as such in his travels he has had to work around certain obstacles with nothing but his wits. Jack also isn't a fan of shifting into his werewolf form due to the more feral instincts muddling his human reason.

Biography: Jack doesn't remember much from his past, flashes of a Mother and Father dance at the back of his mind, the sound of what he assumes were brothers and sisters laughing. However only these vague memories stick with him as he's unable to remember what their names were or even if they were actually his family and the only thing he can remember is his own name and nothing else. The first thing Jack remembers was waking up in the middle of nowhere with terrible wounds and a painful skull fracture that he assumes is the reason for his amnesia. With nobody else around to help him Jack slowly nursed himself back to health and once he was completely healthy he spent quite a bit of time trying to learn about who he was. However nobody seemed know him and he hit a wall in his investigation and made the decision to let the past go and move on with his life. Jack has his suspicions that it was Hunters who tried to kill him and the people he was possibly with but he'll never know and holds no animosity or ill will towards those people if that is what happened. Now he simply travels around from place to place taking odd jobs and things like that to earn some money.

Classification: Two Legged

Shifter Type: Strength

Passive: Keen Nose: Jack's sense of smell is far more sensitive than that of other shifters and werewolves, allowing him to track people for miles and be able to sniff out enemies who may be hiding. However very strong scents are able to completely overwhelm his sense of smell and depending how intense, actually cause him some level of pain. (Mostly in the form of severe headaches)

Shifter Abilities:

Howl:

Jack howls loudly and invigorates himself with his feral instincts for a short duration which allows him to move at the speed of a four legged until his human senses return. Once this ability ends Jack's muscles are torn and almost painful, slowing his movement down for awhile afterwards until he recovers.

Cooldown: 4)


Hooked Claws:
His hooked claws allow Jack to scale walls and even hang upside down with no problem. The claws also have the bonus of better tearing opponents flesh.
(Lasts:Passive
Cooldown: Indefinete)


Rabid Beast:
An ability that Jack only uses as an absolute last resort. Jack completely shuts down his human reasoning, allowing the animalistic instincts to go into overdrive which turns him into a savage killing machine with no conscious. When this is activated his already monstrous strength is increased twofold, allowing him to tear through most armor, mesh, and suits with relative ease. However he cannot discern friend from foe and will attack everyone and even going as far as cannibalism in this form. Once it is up Jack's body gives out from the stress and his mental state takes a severe toll from this and takes a long while for his mind to fully recover.

Cooldown: One week)

Alllllrighty! A very cool character and there are a few things I need to ask about before I can approve him.


- Howl: I would give a more detailed description of this ability. Especially seeing as you can move as fast as a four legged Shifter, does that mean your strength lessens so your character can concentrate on overworking his muscles? Does he move slower after the post duration is over? A lot more detail needs to go into this before it will be accepted, as of now it ventures on the line of instadeath for anyone else trying to go against him (even if PVP is not really sought after in this rp).

- Rabid Beast: I love this ability! The only thing I would say on this is to lower the post duration to 3 posts, as anyone- including my own character and another- has similar abilities that I'm only allowing 3 posts to. Simply because they are last resort moves that would undoubtedly cause death to the character as they are open to attack after it's duration, it is a very powerful move that could easily kill a lot of people if you went towards PVP. Especially since you stated specifically it can cut through mesh and suits, which I assume means CEBA units as well.

Hiya Cappy! I made the changes, is this better? (Also I added a bit extra to the Habits for reasons)

Much better! I am very glad to see that it is also 3 posts. A limited effect than your final ability, but still ties closely into it. Very very nice. And you, my dear, are
