BIOGRAPHY
It wouldn't exactly be fair to say that anyone's experience when it comes to being turned into a werewolf is particularly easy (even when it comes to the groupies who ask for it), though it was especially traumatic in Velganos's case.
When Velganos was a young man, he met a girl in passing who he, upon seeing her, instantly was drawn to. Her name, as he discovered upon "coincidentally" running into her again, was Accalia. She was everything ever other girl was not. She had this fire about her, this passion and wildness that he had never seen before, and yet, she was completely in control of herself and her life. She was a confident self-starter with big dreams and an even bigger wallet, having come from a very well-off family. Accalia became the love of Vel's life, and he was her soul mate who helped bring her dreams of traveling and experiencing the world to reality.
The night everything changed for him happened some years later. Velganos had been out drinking with some comrades one night enjoying himself. He wound up staying out late and, as a result, ended up quite intoxicated. Luckily, he lived closeby to the pub and was able to walk (or, more accurately in his case, stumble) home.
As he was rounding a corner down a poorly-lit alleyway, he found himself face-to-face with a gigantic black wolf. The only thing he remembers from that encounter were the bright yellow eyes, like two full moons, and the way the shadow-like creature overpowered him with ease. Being drunk, Vel put up little fight, but to his surprise, he was only left with a small wound on his ankle where the wolf had grabbed him in his jaw to drag him behind a building and into some brush. When he came to and awoke some hours later, he found the wound was mostly healed already and that he felt better than ever. He felt wide awake and full of energy and strength. It was as if he had just gotten the best rest of his life. Dazed and confused, he made his way back home to a very worried Accalia who stayed up all night waiting for him. He reassured her that he was fine, but thought better of mentioning anything about a wolf or a wound that magically healed itself, attributing the entire experience to his intoxication, and instead told her he simply got a bit too drunk and passed out on his walk home, and followed it up with many apologies.
The days went by as usual, though as the weeks wore on and the closer it got to a full moon, the more and more animalistic and instinctual Velganos began to feel. He found himself craving meat and sex and anything physical. He started running in the mornings just to work off some of his excess energy. By the time the full moon did at last reveal itself, Velganos was a slave to its pull. He transformed, much against his will and to his utmost surprise, right in the middle of his and Accalia's living room that evening. As soon as the wolf took over, Velganos's mind was gone, replaced only by instinct and needs. Accalia tried to stop him from leaving their house, fearing hunters would find him, but in the process of getting in his way, Velganos attacked her, biting at her and eventually throwing her aside before he fled.
When dawn finally stripped him of his fur and returned him to human form, Velganos ran home, terrified, only to find Accalia wrapped in self-made dressings and in tears. As soon as he spotted her, he knew what he had done. Come next full moon, she would be transforming into a mindless wolf too. He had passed on his own worst nightmare to her.
Enraged and furious at both himself and the black wolf that turned him, Velganos fled, too mortified and too scared to be near Accalia, for fear of hurting her further. Their relationship was left in shambles.
Vel's form has become so severe, due to the nature of his becoming a lycan, that it has completely overtaken him, forcing a transformation upon him in his most emotionally unstable or enraged moments. He no doubt would be an Adult lycan by now, but because of his post traumatic stress, he cannot harness control over himself. He has discovered one source of inner peace, however, in the form of powerful underground drugs, known as Dog Chow on the street, whose real brand name is Temppressant. The drugs, if taken regularly once a day, help his mind remain intact whenever he undergoes a transformation and also allows him to transform upon will. Additionally, the Dog Chow allows him to remain human, even when under stress or feeling particularly angered, when he normally otherwise would transform.
On one of his excursions, Vel unknowingly stumbled upon a rogue wolf hunter, a burly man who was renowned in the area for slaying many a beast. Velganos barely managed to escape with his life, but he did get away with a souvenir in the form of a large and deep scar across his chest, which is now just another distinguishing feature of his, a war-wound he wears with shame, as he never managed to get his revenge on the hunter, whom he later found out was Albert Redd, father to Rozlin Redd.
Velganos hides behind his tough and sarcastic and seemingly indifferent exterior, but in actuality, he is a troubled being with a difficult past.
