Name: Elijah Blackwood Nickname/Alias: Eli, he hates being called a Pup or Puppy. Race: Lycan Initial Race: Human Gender: Male Age: 24 Birthplace: Port Samhain Rank/Occupation: Elijah thrives as an underground fighter for the scum of Port Samhain. On rare occasions, he participates in exclusive fights for the upper echelon for big pay outs. Alignment/Affiliation: Neutral Lycan Abilities In/Out of form: -His strength is greater than that of a normal human, [b]greater so at night and even more so during the full moon. This effect stacks while transformed and applies to nearly all of the following.[/b] -His senses and stamina are greater than that of a human. Also to note, his senses are unaffected by natural occurring weather, fog, rain, etc. -He is immune to nearly all disease, toxins, venom's, viruses that are found naturally on the planet. Man-made or magically created diseases and such can effect him but his tolerance is higher than that of a human. -His speed, agility and strength to leap are animalistic and super human. This doesn't mean he can dodge a spear with supreme ease but it does allow him, if paying attention and concentrating to likely avoid the strike. -He can see much better at night than humans but not perfectly, though while transformed, his vision is perfect even at night. -His wounds will heal and he will regenerate his stamina much faster than a human would but still considerably slower than the infamous Vampire's healing speed. So it will not aid him in combat. -He possess predator instincts which make him a master tracker and hunter, able to discern friend from foe and how close or far they might be. -He can tap into a primal, unstoppable rage that allows him to take and inflict damage that they wouldn't in their normal state. He loses all of his conscious with this technique so he doesn't use it often. ========================================= Weapons/Items: Generic Items: Eli doesn't typically carry much as his pockets don't tend to stick around. When he does carry items, it is normally just a coin purse so he can buy whatever he needs on the fly. His only major possession is a pair of bracers with unknown powers. ==================== Name of Weapon or Item: True name is unknown, Elijah knows them simply as Night Bringers. Description: This item has some magical properties though the only one known to Elijah is that it is capable of changing in size to stay on his body whenever he transforms. (I was hoping this bracer could be used later as some kind of artifact that has a bigger purpose in the plot or at the very least unlock some kind of magical powers to aid his destructive capabilities.)

Great for ripping away during his transformation. He stands around 6'3 and weighs roughly 190, lean built frame. His eyes are brown but during moments of anger or prior to a transformation, his eyes turn amber and glow slightly. His hair is black and his skin is fairly tan.

[hider=My Spoiler][img]http://goblinbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Werewolf_2_by_el_grimlock.jpg[/img][/hider] This mark has been branded onto his right forearm to alert others of his affliction. Since receiving his bracers though, all but a small portion of the mark is concealed. One must look closely to know it's there.

Holding a grudge towards his parents that abandoned him and dealing with the primal rage that surges through his veins, has turned him into a dark young man. It doesn't take much to get him riled up, and above all else, no matter the odds, he's ready to fight. That is mostly thanks to his Lycan blood but growing up on the streets forced him to mature and fend for himself. He strives to fill the gap in his heart where a family and love would be with violence because it comes natural to him. He wants answers, in regards to what happened to his parents and why they abandoned him. History: Elijah Blackwood was conceived under a noble family that had gained their status by trading their first born males to a Vampire clan. On the day the deal was to be completed for week old Eli, their home was broken into by a band of werewolves, hired to disrupt the Vampires plans. The parents were killed mercilessly, while the child screamed in it's bed. The were's conscious was absent save for one who'd mastered the transformation and decided to take the child. After a year had passed, they turned the boy and set him loose on the town, thinking his adolescent transformation would wreak havoc on the town before getting himself killed, providing many opportunities for them. The outcome was much less eventful as he was captured before any real damage could be done. He was captured by a group with the mark of a black hand, known infamously as The Night Bringers. They fed him, clothed him, gave him shelter but never showed any real love to him. They forced him to hone his abilities and strengthen his bond with the feral beast within. This led to him having great control over it, much more than most Were's and especially at such a young age. By the time he was ten, he was nearly as proficient as any adult Werewolf they'd seen. This rough childhood shaped him into a efficient killing machine but what he wanted most was a family, which he realized he wasn't going to get from the group that took him in. He broke out one night and has lived on the streets ever since. He searched for answers about his past but after ten years, the town had moved past that horrible memory. Most didn't know anything about it and those that did denied it. All his searching ended up getting him into trouble with the towns people. The authorities learned of what he was and branded him with a mark that everyone recognized and avoided. As years passed, Elijah became skilled at staying on the move, fighting quickly and precisely, staying ahead of everyone until he woke up with a box next to him. The box was worn down and had a black hand painted on it. When he opened it, he found matching bracers and a note in a language he'd never seen before. He discovered one day that even when he transforms, these bracers adjust in size and stay on him rather than being shredded apart like everything else, he doesn't know why but he continues to wear them. ========================================= Strengths: -He's passionate about finding the truth about his family. -His combat skills are exceptional. -See Lycan Abilities above for more information. Weaknesses: -His temper is quick to get him into trouble. -Silver weapons but only if they are the utmost quality. Low grade silver doesn't do any more damage than a sharp stick might do. =========================================
