Name: Derek Mavis
Age: 17
Species: Werewolf, descendant of Romanian werewolves.
Biography: Derek grew up in his hometown of Polina, Michigan. There, he was born into a tribe that were descendants of Romania, the original wolf pack. His blood is 95% pure Romanian blood from his father and 5% American blood, from his mothers side. After the first packmaster retires, he will fight other werewolves until one is claimed a victor for strength and mercy. He stays in school, although his packmaster wishes he would drop out to train daily. Derek is proud of his heritage, and finds it a great advantage.
Other: Derek has to follow laws of the pact. During a full moon, he has to stay away from humans at all costs. Killing another werewolf is punishable by death, unless it is evident of self-defense. All members of the pack must follow the commands of the alpha, unless overruled by the Guardian of Wolves. The Original Guardian resides in Romania, giving packs an alpha all over the world to carry out his laws to let humans and werewolves live in co-existence without the knowledge of them coming out to the public.
His weaknesses include silver, mercury, and wolfs-bane. Any silver or mercury (quicksilver) will burn his skin, and if injected into his bloodstream in anyway can temporarily disable him and his shifting ability. If silver penetrates his heart he will die. Wolfs-bane is more deadly. It does not heal fast like a silver burn, and can cause a high fever of 112 degrees Fahrenheit (compared to 108 in humans). Wolfs-bane can also cause visionary and auditory hallucinations. Even though it is a weakness, werewolves in his tribe would use it as a hallucinogenic drug, leaving their minds wandering but leaving their bodies in a very weakened state. Ingesting more than one ounce is deadly, and can kill any werewolf. It is seen as taboo to use them as recreational.
