Name: Raphael Nevarra
Age: 88, appears 18
Race: Displacer Beast
Appearance: His human form looks rather frightening, since it is actually only a half formed transformation. He is 5 ft 4 inches, with lithe muscles over his whole body. His skin is a dark grey with a blue tint to it and his eyes are the pale green eyes of a cat. From the base of his shoulder blades protrude two long tendrils that have small stinging barbs on the ends that he can cause to lay flat or protrude at will. He can manipulate these tendrils as deftly as extra limbs. In his human form these tendrils are normally wrapped around his arms. In his beast form, the stinging barbs also cause paralysis. His hair in his human form is black and shoulder length. He keeps it well groomed and in a low ponytail. His nails are actually short claws and his teeth are also slightly more pointed than the average human. His face is clean shaven and does not appear to ever have had hair on it.

Personality: He is largely solitary, preferring his own company rather than the company of others, though he does not shy away from social situations, but rather simply remains in the background unless he believes he needs to draw attention to something. He has a rather dark sense of humor, finding the maiming or physical pain of others highly amusing. However, he does not enjoy emotional pain in others, finding it very uncomfortable to witness, since he is not well versed in how to deal with fluctuating emotions. In his heart he is a good person, though perhaps not kind. He has a rather judgemental attitude towards others, tending to categorize people into those who are worth his time to know and those who are not. He will not refrain from avenging perceived wrongs, and will even go so far as to attempt to kill those who he deems worthy of death. He has a great amount of pride, and while he takes pleasure in teasing and making fun of others, he hates being teased himself and will often become sullen and angry if jokes are pointed at him. Finally, he is truly ashamed of his inability to fully transform to a human state and believes that he is somewhat of a failure because of it.
Biography: He was born in the slums of Venice and his mother died in childbirth. His father raised him until he was 8 years old, teaching him to hunt and displace, which is an ability of his kind to teleport short distances in rapid succession. His kind also are rather long lived, normally living about 300 years before dying.However, his father died after being mauled by a bear whose lair he inadvertently stumbled into while wounded. After that, Raphael taught himself, learning to speak the human language and even wandering their streets from time to time. By the time he was 45 years old, there were many rumors of a monster cat in the forests of Italy and sightings of a monstrous man in the dark of the streets in the deep night. He never learned to fully transform, and so he eventually fled Italy and wandered abroad in France and Germany for several years before he heard of the school for Mythics in America. He was tired of running and moving all the time, and decided to seek it out.
