Alias(es): Ly, Wolf
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Slender and lanky, Ly looks a bit too skinny to be healthy at first glance. What he is though, is all muscle, and he’s deceptively strong. There is something distinctly feral about him as well, shown in the way he carries himself and the sharp canine teeth that can be seen when he grins. Several scars litter his body, both from before and after the demons came, his arms bearing the worst of it. As a dog, his coat is the same color as his hair, darkening to black down his legs and tail.
-Height: 6 feet
-Weight: 170
-Eye Color: Amber
-Hair Color: Dark brown
Clothing: Anything of neutral colors that’s easy to move in, generally jeans and jackets. They tend to be rather tattered.
Powers/Skills:
-- Animal Telepathy ~ He can communicate with most animals he comes across, but it is with his dog Bo that the deeper aspect of the power is revealed. He can essentially merge his mind with any canine that he has a bond with- and as a result he took on some more animalistic characteristics himself.
-- Healing ~ Ly has the ability to heal himself, and anything that he has a bond with. While it doesn’t necessarily work on complete strangers, he nevertheless makes use of the skill for himself and Bo.
-- Shapeshifting ~ Another facet of his power unlocked by sharing a dog’s mind. Ly can change into a massive, wolf-like dog himself at will, with further enhanced speed and strength.
Personality: While he does retain several characteristics from before being gifted, his new bond with Bo has impacted him, leading towards a more feral nature than one might expect. Mistrustful at best and downright paranoid at worst, he sees life as far simpler with only Bo at his side. Though gruff, he isn’t heartless, and likely wouldn’t be able to bypass someone who needed help, even if he might grumble and complain about it. He’s a pretty down to earth and straightforward person, and it’s because of that you’ll rarely see him lying. He has a sort of pack mentality as well, and is fiercely protective of and loyal to those he considers to be ‘pack’, namely, Bo. Even in human form, he often can growl or bare his teeth to convey anger. He’s more of a ‘go in and beat ‘em all up’ type than a strategist, though he has no problems following a plan if you can convince him of its worth. He’s not book smart by any means- never having completed high school- but has a vast knowledge of anything that could help him survive. If one can manage to gain his trust though, you’re ‘pack’, and he’s a loyal friend and actually a pretty amiable person.
Bio: Lysander’s family had never been well off, just barely retaining their run-down, tiny home. As a result, Ly essentially grew up on the streets, learning to fend for himself and scrounging around for things that he could pawn off for a little money to supplement the family’s nonexistent income. Several of the scars he bears are from this time, gained from just his harsh lift or the fights he inevitably got into over territory or some particularly expensive item.
He came across a dog to hungry to move in an alley one day, and in a rare show of pity, he gave the animal some of his own food. Once recovered, the dog didn’t leave him alone, following around after him until he finally gave in and accepted the animal as a companion, naming him Bo. They were hunting around close to home when the demons fist attacked, and found himself unable to do anything as he watched his home burn to the ground with his family inside, one of the strange creatures that he later discovered were the demons shrieking outside.
He went wild with Bo at his side, living from meal to meal as he focused solely on surviving. He avoided the demons even though the act tore at him. After he received his gifts though, he explored his new bond with Bo, and the two began to do their best to tear apart any demon that crossed their paths.
