"It's Alpha, to you."
Werewolf
「“Passion. It lies in all of us.
Sleeping... waiting...
and though unwanted, unbidden,
it will stir...
open its jaws and howl...”」
~ Joss Whedon
Standing at an imposing five feet and 10 inches, Jack is what he would consider "devilishly handsome." The phrase "talk, dark, and handsome" fits him near perfectly. Light skin, slightly pale unless kissed by the summer sun's rays, stretch over sinewy muscles on a rather sleek form. Typically seen as lithe and rather slim, Jack has more of a swimmer's body with broad shoulders and muscles that don't truly grab one's attention until he's ready to fight or flexes. Several scars mar his sculpted body; some are older than some and others couldn't heal properly.
His soft hair is cut short and cut close to the head around the back and sides with layers blending into the top which is actually cut quite jaggedly, adding texture to his black locks. Jack has neatly shaven stubble, which attributes to his sophisticated and darkly handsome looks. His eyes are an vivid shade of blue, bright and striking against his light skin and dark hair. He can typically be found in the color black or other dark shades. He has this tattooed over his heart and no one knows it symbolizes the head witch.
{Wolf Appearance}
Despite not originally being the Alpha in the family, Jack had always been slightly larger than the average sized wolf, being on par with his brother but not supernaturally so. His fur, soft and fluffy {he would growl at you if you ever say that to his face}, is the color of a raven's feather. It has always allowed him to blend in with the darkness of the forest and sneak around. His eyes are a much more intense shade of blue, near cerulean. His canines are sharp and unforgiving and his claws can be deadly. This body is agile and strong.
「“If we were invincible
If we could never die
Then all the world could rise against us
And we’d dare to fight.”」
