Apearence (Human)
Though he is relitively attractive, he cares little for his apearence. Other than his jacket, he tends to let his clothes go to ruin. He is always wearing his dog tags and flight jacket, no matter how hot it is. Though rarely seen, his back and chest have several scars on them. The only other scars he has are air force sergeants bars branded into his shoulders.

Personality
He tends to distrust everyone he meets and he doesn't care to much of what people think of him. He tries to be as polite as he can but tends to lash out if insulted too much. He usually drinks a beer or two at night. Though he doesn't smoke, he keeps an empty cigarette tin and lighter on him. The tin only contained one cigarette he saved for when he though he was going to die during the storm. He cosiders most youth disrespectful toward his generation. He's the most honest person when it comes to money or a fight. He is somewhat humble when he wins and is a grecious loser. He looks upon welching on a bet or cheating against an oponent as the most heinous thing one could do. His greatest fear is the past horrors he faced would not come back to haunt him.

History
Born into an almost stereo-typical Italian family. He was the second of three kids. His father was a WWII vet and his mother was a duaghter of well-off liquor-runner during the prohibition. His older brother died in the Army during Korean War. He was going to school at Cambridge getting his masters in science when the Veitnam War when he got the draft notice. Fearing a death like his brother's, he went strait to the Air Force Recrutement office. His mother and father both died while he was in basic training. Near the end of the war, he was shot down deap into NVC space. He was captured and taken to Hoa Lo Prison PoW camp. Due to his refusal to talk and coopperate. He was tortured and interrogated on and off for five and a half years. When the PoWs were finally released his chest and back were scared tremendusly. He spent the next four months in a hospital getting treated for infections and malnutrition. He was also forced to take several psych evaluations to test his mental stability, and when finally released, he went back to school. He completed his Doctorate in theoretical physics but could find any jobs in the field other than teaching. He fell back on his piloting days and got a job flying freight across the country. When his younger sister died of a heart attack he went down to the Bahamas to attend her funeral. He like the sea so much he took up a job farrying tourists too-and-fro from island to island in a small two engine seaplane.

Island Information



How does your Character get to the Island?
On a routine flight home from San Juan, Puerto Rico to Castries, St. Lucia, Dante was caught by a freak storm, and struck by lightning. All his comunication and navigational equipment went haywire and he was flying blind. He used his compass to get his bearings and continued on. However the engines of the plane became magnitized by the lighting strike and threw the compass askew. When Dante realized how lost he was he was almost out of fuel. He found a smooth patch of sea and managed to land his seaplane. He knew that a large wave could easily topple the plane, so he got all the supplies he could, said fairwell to his plane, and floated away in the life raft.

What Animal(s)/Plant(s)/Dinosaur Serum do you want?
Serum 54, Canis lupus italicus (Italian Wolf)

Describe your ideal 100% appearance
Dante would have a mostly black with a silver hue pelt, the only exception being his scars which would have gold fur. His hands have grown sharp claws protruding from each finger tip. His feat have changed dramaticly, they have widened and expanded to the appearence of a large wolfs hind legs. Each of his 8 "toes" would have a claw their size relitive to the size of the toe. He now has a tail extending from his tailbone 21" long with no visible markings. His face would grow a muzzle with apropriately sized fangs. His hair would fall out and be replace with fur. His eyes would remain the same colors but take on a more amber tint.

Why this animal/plant for your character?
The locals called him "el lobo del vuelo" (the flying wolf) because of his eyes. Like him the Italian wolf tends to avoid human contact, learning the cruel thing man can do. Like the wolf, anyone who does gain his trust will have his loyalty till death.

What do you think really makes this concept? Why you?
I have to deal with war vets alot and know most of their stories Dante is a compilation of a few of my favorites. There are only a few "people" on the Island his age and he would bring a diffent view there. Not only does he have to deal with being trapped on an island, he would have to cope with the transformation.

I like your concept, the island needs more italians and i've never heard of an italian wolf before though. You might want to say what town in Italy he is from.

I agree that it's cool he's Italian, but I'm not sosure about the reason behind his serum. It seems a little contrived that he's got very wolf-like traits to begin with, and that his nickname is the flying wolf. Serums don't have to be ironic or particularly fitting, in fact you see that less and less lately.

Its way too short I think. If you want to get onto the island you really have to advertise yourself. You need to throw everything you got here, everything. You need to talk more about his past. How did everyones deaths really affect him, becase it seems death is a very big part in his life.

Also hes 58 and you just have one paragraph for his personaility and for his history? You seriouslly need allot more. Wouldent POW campreally make him differnet? He was there for five years. And I mean everyone in his family is dead, that would also have a great affect on this mans psychee.


Also you need a few backup animals, espically becase there are so many wolfs and cannines on the island, as well as allot of people wantign to become on. (Yes dogs rock.)

ALso id try and think up something besides him in a freak storm. Maybe he got a job to drop a few supplies off in the island. Maybe he was flying someone there, who purposelly made him crash the plane in the waters for a new subject. Not everyone can go there by accident.

But it is a good start, seriouslly, I think if you really work on it you can have a really unique charecter, there arnt many peopel on the island over 40, and the POW camp also make him stand out.
