Name: David Gerschmüch
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Born or Turned Werewolf: Turned
Personality: In a word, he's strong. He's bull-headed, has a bit of an ego, and fancies himself the 'Alpha' personality. This isn't to say that he doesn't have a soft-side. He's loyal, and will bow to those that deserve his obedience after they have proven to him that they should have it. These traits also make him fiercely protective of those he is close to, but that group has never been very large. He's a little quiet, but will speak up if he needs to. He is quite serious about being given his own personal space.
Biography: He was born into a small family, his parents and (later on) one younger brother. They lived on the edge of a small town for years with no trouble, his mother an herbalist, and supplier of homeopathic remedies to the rest of the town. His father was a working man. After his younger brother was born, there were rumours of werewolves in the surrounding area. Not very many people took the stories seriously, but they were indeed, true. David was all for helping his mother, and while they and his little brother were out they heard the howl of a wolf. It chilled all of them, as they had never heard the sound before. It was a while later after that day, that David came home one day from being out and found his mother crying in front of their fireplace. His little brother had been out playing in the forest, and was attacked. He was dead.
Fueled by anger, David took a weapon and charged into the woods, prepared to kill whatever beast had taken his brother. It was nights later before he came upon the creature, and battled with him, in the end prevailing, but sustaining his own wounds.
These wounds caused him to be infected by the werewolf disease, which he later found out the hard way.
At first he couldn't control the beast within him. Lucky for his family he was away in the woods, far enough that after his first shift, he had barely reached the edge of the small clearing near his house. He wasn't sure what had happened, but awoke naked and confused. It was his mother who figured it out, as she was working with wolfsbane, and David recoiled from it. From then, he and his mother searched for ways to cure him, or to at least make it easier to control. Yes, this involved heavy chains that he was restrained by in the woods on the nights he felt the beast trying to break through his skin.
He received the letter, having heard about the school and knowing that those that aren't quite normal are the ones that take attendance there. Having better control over his beast, and knowing that others might be there and be able to help him fully accept and control it, he decided that enrolling would probably be best.
You never know what you might find at a place like that.
