Artair is a tall man standing around 6'2" and weighing 190 pounds. He has short dirty blond, nearly brown hair and piercing amber eyes containing flecks of blue around the pupil. His forearms appear to be covered in scars (not self-inflicted just to be clear) that look as if they were caused by teeth despite not appearing to be a typical bite mark. He is neither poor nor rich, but seems to get by just fine and is probably considered wealthy by his village's standards. Normal attire consists of doublets with rounded waists and slashed sleeves and breeches as was standard for the time period. His appearance comes across as rather disheveled however as the doublet is often left unbuttoned with an open collar. I'm sorry I'm really not any good at describing humanoids.

Werewolf Appearance:
In werewolf form Artair's body is covered in fur the same color as his hair and his eyes lose the flecks of blue becoming pure amber. Remaining bipedal leaves him hunched slightly and his arms become much longer, allowing him to run on all fours at times which is usually somewhat easier than trying to chase someone on two. His face narrows out into a tapered snout with a black nose, grows a bushy tail and his ears become erect and move to the top of his head giving him a more wolfish appearance. This guy is about as wolfy as this version of a werewolf can get basically.

Personality:
An adaptive and optimistic individual who comes across as rather care-free in demeanor. Artair has a fondness for the fine arts and encourages creativity in even the most unlikely of people. Artists can come from all sorts of places and backgrounds after all. His own talents lie in painting, but he appreciates art in all forms. Despite the air of seemingly unending confidence he might give off to strangers Artair is the type of person who needs communication and feedback (whether it be positive or negative) in order to feel secure in his own endeavors, whatever they may be. He often looks to others for confirmation out of habit and is not much of a leader figure. His calm and friendly attitude makes him an excellent peacekeeper, but underneath all the charm he is a somewhat bitter man who is quick to dislike and judge others. Sometimes prone to insensitivity he's also quite sentimental, though this isn't a trait he likes himself. Sentimentalism and attachment to those he finds himself in the company of for long stretches of time is often his downfall.

History
Originally born in rural Scotland. He grew up on a farm and lived a fairly normal life up until his 19th year when he was bitten by a werewolf while out searching for some lost sheep. He survived the attack and returned home none the wiser, worrying about little more than the wound becoming infected. On the first full moon after the incident he transformed and unable to control his new found thrust for violence savagely murdered every living thing he could find on the farm, including his parents and younger brother. When he awoke the next morning and realized what he had done he attempted to take his own life only to be stopped by a strange man who claimed he could help him. It turned out this very man was the same werewolf who had bitten him and the attack was intentional. The man, called Rorak, was the leader of a werewolf pack that ruled the wilderness and often recruited new members when their numbers begin to diminish. Apparently he had been stalking Artair for months before deciding to change him.

Artair's initial reaction was to reject Rorak and his pack, but it was quite clear joining them was not optional. The pack taught him to control his wolf side as much as one could and that was a nice plus, but these wolves chose to make a living by ravaging villages and chasing fear into the hearts of humans. Something Artair took no real pleasure in. Eventually the humans had enough and began hunting them. It all led up to a final, bloody battle in which Rorak himself was injured. Artair took the opportunity to finish the cruel Alpha off and free himself of his servitude to him. Vengeance in this way was never something Artair thought he could do, but it seemed he was capable of comitting many things he would never have imagined himself doing now.

He escaped Scotland soon after and traveled across Europe as a trader before finally ending up in London where he has led a more peaceful life for the past few years. That was until a human figured out what he truly is. Now he once again finds himself at the service of another. This time a mortal rather than a fellow wolf. He offers protection, information and anything else his new master may want in exchange for his secret being kept. (Anyone want a pet werewolf?)

Other:
Dog Soldiers. It's one of the first werewolf movies I ever remember seeing. Am American Werewolf In London and Red Riding Hood are also personal favs. Van Helsing too if that counts. I want to throw Bad Moon in here as well, but I've never seen the actual movie all the way through yet. Only clips.

I decided against making a hunter so you can unreserve that. Gonna stick with one character for now. If I feel confident enough to try a human later I will then if there are still any slots open.
