Description

Image
The Past


ImageImageBowen Eli Davion was born in 1432 during a turbulent time of war between two of Terra's nations. This war had gone on for very nearly one hundred years before his birth. Since Bowen was born to the House of Davion, a noble family of one of these kingdoms it was his duty to serve as a knight and bring honor to his house and the king he and his family had sworn fealty to.

There was nothing special about Bowen's childhood besides the wealth his family possessed. This wealth elevated him above the level of the common peasants and serfs of the kingdom and allowed him and his brother access to the finer things in life available during this time period. The best in life included the finest martial training to be had. He was also given access to women and other finery as was his birthright.

He served valiantly as a knight for the House of Plantagenet, the king's house for five years. His fifth year marked the end of the long war and the House of Plantagenet and all the houses and armies under it were forced to return home. During his time in the war he showed great aptitude with the bow and the sword but did not participate in heavy fighting. The House of Davion and those men who served it were often set as rear guard and so saw only skirmishes and peasant insurrection. After the war the House of Davion was one of the houses the ruling monarch accused of a fault and blamed for the loss of the war. So it was that Davion lost his lands and much that goes along with his noble birthright after the war ended.

The loss of his lands was not the most notable event of Bowen's life during the years of 1454 to 1456. As he and a small party of the his knights were returning home they were ambushed near the cost as they prepared to board ship and leave the mainland for home. They were slaughtered to the man save Bowen who was injured. Bowen had described the ordeal and insisted that his men had been slain by demon wolves. At the time it was thought that his injury was mortal as he was found by a group of knights belonging to the House of Thatcher. During the next week these knights brought Bowen over the sea with them and returned him to his lands and his home.

The demon wolves his men had been slain by had been lycanthropes and the wound he had received had infected him with the disease. His strong constitution had saved him though the wound had been grievous and meant to kill, not injure him. During the next couple weeks he would struggle with the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical pain and anguish of becoming what he would later discover was a werewolf. During this time he thought himself evil and often berated himself and named himself a coward for refusing to commit suicide. The struggle was most difficult after getting word of his brother's death at the hands of an enemy ambush during a withdraw from a fort on the coast.

The Present


ImageImageDespite the loss of his noble title and his lands Bowen Eli Davion has proven extraordinarily long lived. His tremendous constitution as a human was only enhanced when he became a werewolf. This has afforded him the time to amass large sums of money and power that dwarfs his former holdings as a noble lord. Money and power was never enough for Bowen and he has always sought the acceptance of his fellow man or werewolf. As such he has worked hard to defend Terra and its people and formed the mercenary organization known as Vindex.

Vindex is a small paramilitary mercenary group that was often employed by the various Terran governments and national organizations for reasons of plausible deniability during the last five years. Their missions were often small scale clandestine operations and they were employed only when a national military force could not be risked of political and/or diplomatic consequence was of a major concern. As such Vindex operates under a false front called Castle. This allows Vindex and its operatives the ability to live their lives free of reprisal when not on the job.

In the present day Vindex employs about ten skilled operators and has quite a collection of advanced gadgets and weaponry. The company has a small military compound located on the outskirts of Wing City and an office located in Lutetia. They often assist the local police agencies or private citizens when they need to hire a private investigator or security services. Bowen seldom involves Vindex with the various packs or factional groups in Lutetia but he is known to support the city and various charities. As such he is well liked by the city government and the people and often touted as a upstanding and moral citizen. After his first transformation and the death of his brother he became an atheist but does support many local religious groups for the positive and moral influence they can have on young people.

Bowen has had many passing loves during his long life and yet has never had children. He surmises the cause of this to be a fever he had during his youth that may have left him sterile. Despite his capability to love he realizes that he will outlive any woman he chooses as a wife and thus often breaks off relationships after months and before they can become serious enough to cause his would be spouse heart ache. His kind heart often becomes a bleeding wound after these brief relationships as he falls in love rather easily.

As far as a werewolf goes Bowen is pretty common with exception to his constitution and regenerative capabilities. Some have speculated that Bowen is gifted with true regeneration and could heal lost limb or organ. He has yet to test this theory and has no wish to do so but has noted that he heals extraordinary quickly even when faced with weapons and other devices that one of his kind should not be able to recover from. He has been described as tough as nails by his employees and friends. When he is forced into the war form and must contend with tooth and claw he prefers the use of speed, skill, and dexterity over brute strength. In the form of a wolf, the war form, or anything in between he has dark hair and bright yellow eyes.

Bowen is the oldest living werewolf he knows. His age does not make him any more or less powerful physically. He does possess a vast array of skills, talents, and knowledge accrued and honed over his long lifespan. He enjoys painting and regularly sits in on the Lutetia Musical Orchestra as a violinist, saxophonist, or pianist. He does have a few vices which include drinking expensive scotch and smoking imported cigars. To the outside world, he appears as a young, handsome, business-savvy, and charming man. However, he has a "dark side": he secretly practices BDSM.

Werewolf Traits:
• True Regeneration - Bowen heals with extraordinary swiftness, but not quite instantaneously. Almost no injuries are permanent, save the loss of his head or the destruction of his heart. Loss of limb or damaged organ takes days to recover from while punctures, lacerations, bullet wounds, and broken bones can be recovered from in seconds or minutes depending on the severity. Bullets are pushed from his body as his regeneration takes effect. Bones reset themselves unless his flesh is restrained. Lost limb can be reattached provided it is done with great haste.
• Weaknesses - Whilst silver is not any more effective at damaging him than other weapons, wounds caused by silver weapons or that come into contact with silver have their regeneration greatly impeded. Wounds caused by contact with silver also sting and burn. Aconitum or Wolf's Bane is still as poisonous to him as it is to other people. He is resistant to poisons and diseases with exception to Aconitum.
• Enhanced Strength/Agility - Bowen has enhanced strength and agility even in the homid form. He has the greatest strength while in crinos form and the greatest agility and speed while in lupis form. A good mix of both would be the hispo form.
• Enhanced Senses - Bowen has enhanced hearing and smell even in the homid form. His senses are sharpest in the lupis form.
• Enhanced Toughness - Bowen is as tough as nails even in the homid form. His bones are denser and his skin is harder to penetrate. While in crinos or hispo form his skin has toughness not unlike steel chainmail.
• Altered Forms - Bowen has five distinct and separate forms available to him. While in most of these forms he can easily maintain his intelligence and the process of rational thought unless set to a true emotional rage or when exposed to the light of a full moon. These forms are; the homid form that resembles his former human self, the glabro form which roughly resembles a human but has too many bestial features to be mistaken for a human in bright light, and the crinos form which is the massive hybrid form commonly associated with a lycanthrope, the hispo form - the shape of a prehistoric dire wolf, and the Lupus form which is indistinguishable from a normal wolf but with superior agility and speed. He can change at will but is most comfortable in the homid, lupus, or hispo form and seldom uses the glabro or crinos form.

Glabro: The glabro form is bipedal, and it doesn't possess obvious fangs or claws, but the resemblance to a human being ends there. Bowen gains two-hundred pounds of muscle and six inches of height when shifting into this form from his normal human self. After the shift he stands at six foot, eight inches tall and weighs in at four-hundred and twenty pounds. His body hair becomes much more profuse, his teeth and nails elongate, his brow slopes, and he looks huge and menacing. He can speak though his words have a guttural rasp to them. His eyes glow with a menacing yellow.

Crinos: Crinos is not a form for deliberation, even with other werewolves. Shifting from glabro to crinos, Bowen grows in height by three foot, four inches and gains another four hundred pounds of muscle weight. His head changes to a wolf's maw, and the fangs and claws are now fully grown. His arms become long and apelike, and he can move either on two legs or all fours. He grows a tail, which helps with balance and a thick coat of fur as dark as midnight. He can speak albeit very crudely, managing maybe one or two words at a time. Bowen has great difficulty keeping control while in this form and so seldom uses it.

Hispo: The hispo form resembles a normal wolf in the same way that the glabro form resembles a normal human. Bowen in hispo form looks like a prehistoric dire wolf. His head and jaws are massive, even more so than the crinos form, and his bite is more powerful because of this increased size. He can stand on his hind legs in hispo form with great difficulty if necessary, but he is much more comfortable on all fours.

He has no hands in this form and cannot speak. Bowen stands five foot tall at the shoulder and weighs slightly more than eight-hundred pounds while in in this form. He has midnight fur and yellow eyes. He walks and runs on four legs and thus is faster and a bit more agile. His senses are more acute in this form.

Lupus: A werewolf in lupus form cannot be distinguished from a natural wolf and in some cases a large dog with wolf lineage. Bowen resembles a rather large but very handsome wild wolf with midnight fur and yellow eyes. He is most comfortable in this form or in the homid form. His senses are sharpest in this form and he is very fast on his feet and agile. Bowen weighs about one hundred and twenty pounds, only slightly bigger than a natural gray wolf.

• Lunar Cycle - Bowen is forced to transform into Lupus form if exposed to the full moon's light.

Standard Equipment:
• Silvered/Carbon Steel Khukuri or Silvered/Carbon Steel Tomahawk
• Browning Hi Power Standard Semi-Auto Pistol

Important Characters


Image James Guiscard otherwise known as Baron and leader of the Bloodstone Pack runs his territory with fairness. The Vindex building resides within Baron's territory and Baron and Bowen are on amicable terms for now. The current way of things, the way things have been going for the last five years can not continue on as they have been going. Though Bowen respects Baron the two are irrevocably alpha males in the same area. While Bowen may want nothing more to join other wolves in a pack he is an alpha male and refuses to fall under the leadership of another. He also has three other wolves working at Vindex and can not make such a decision for them.

After refusing Bowen's offered aid a number of times primarily to due to politics and pride, the Bloodstone Pack leader may have burned bridges that are not so easily repaired.

ImageVanessa Richard is a member of the Bloodstone Pack and one of Bowen's romantic interests. Recent events such as the kidnapping of Vanessa's daughter, Sophia by Alek, a vampire have not allowed them to get to know each other as Bowen would have liked. If there is one thing that may convince Bowen to fall under the leadership of another it may be love that does it. As of this point he is infatuated with her but is not sure if his feelings are caused because of the stability she represents or if there is something deeper hidden there in. To say there isn't some sexual attraction would be a lie. Little does Bowen know that Vanessa has been attempting to distance herself from her pack.

Image Chloe Sandara works for Vindex and for Bowen. She is Alphonse's partner and both of them respect her as a capable detective even though she has not been with the company long. There was a strong physical attraction between Bowen and Chloe the moment they were first introduced. Ever since she was attacked by Alek, a vampire and her apartment was burned down she has been living at Bowen's apartment on the third floor of the Vindex building. While Bowen does care for her and wishes nothing more than to keep her safe he also feels that her lack of control over her own life could influence him in ways that would turn his life upside down. Still he enjoys her company and the physical attraction is hard for him to resist.

So begins...

She gave a faint smile. "I am Abigail Burke, only child of Terressa and Ibor Burke. Born a child of the moon. When I was younger, I was know as Abigail the Ghost.." She looked over at him with. "Anyone who claims to be a friend knows me by Abby. I'm assuming you learned my name from Alek before his death then.." She paused for a moment. "Do not be sorry for something you found necessary. Never apologize for what you must do. If you had not, I would have. It was not a loss I grieve now, as the loss was something that happened an age ago. It is a pleasure to meet you, Bowen."

Her jaw clenched and she slowly stood up. "Our paths are bound to cross again, Bowen.. I will not follow you, nor will you follow me. But I do wish us to be allies. I will remain in this area for now as I do not know what I am going to do now.." She paused. "I do not think I am welcome in your city. Too many things are happening, I fear.."

Up pulled Bowen's car, the same one she had taken her out that day Baron had been arrested. He did not pull into the drive but instead pulled alongside the curb. He opened the car door and stepped out, shutting it. Bowen was wearing blue jeans and a gray t-shirt. It was the most casual that Vanessa had ever seen him dressed. He looked at her sitting on the steps and then over to Bastien's car. A moment passed and then he walked around his car and down the drive to her stoop.

Once he got closer and she could see him a bit better at this distance. He had a haunted look in his eyes and sighed deeply when he got close enough for them to talk comfortably. "She okay?"

Vanessa looked up as Bowen approached, and she didn't quite seem to know what to say to him. A lot had happened over the past few days, and the exhaustion in her eyes was evident. She finally settled for nodding.

"The doctor said her injuries aren't serious," Vanessa explained. "She's with Bastien right now."

She watched him, the return question hanging on her lips. She didn't ask it though. Something about the haunted look in his eyes left her afraid to ask it. Did she really want to know what had happened last night after she had left?

She instead settled for a simpler response.

"Thank you."

"Kids are resilient...", he said and trailed off without continuing the thought. Seconds passed by. "How about you?" He sat down on the steps with her but on the other side. "How are you doing?" Bowen didn't look directly at her when he asked. He tilted his head in her direction but he averted his eyes slightly. Heavy bags lay under those eyes. He looked as if he had gotten even less sleep than she did.

"Exhausted..." she answered truthfully.

An awkward silence ensued before she finally asked the question weighing on her mind. As much as she was hesitant to ask it, she needed to know. She needed some sense of closure on the matter, and to know that Alek wouldn't be back.

"Is he gone?" she asked.

His eyes moved up to hers. There was a split second delay before he spoke. "He is gone. He will never hurt anyone every again.", he said with some finality. He looked away and then down then motioned with his hand. "I just wanted to check up on you and Sophia." He sighed and then stood. Here he hesitated for a moment.

"Bowen..." Vanessa said as Bowen stood.

She looked up at him.

"I want you to know that I will always be eternally grateful, for everything you've done..." she told him.

He could see it in her eyes though, that she was withdrawing from him. There was regret there, guilt even for what she was about to say next.

"But I think it might be best if you didn't come around here anymore, at least for now."

The kidnapping of a child was far from the ideal bonding experience for a potential budding relationship, if it could even be called that. But it was more than that. She knew that every time she looked at him, she wouldn't see him. She would see the man from the catacombs, the feral animal that lay behind those eyes of his. Or maybe that was him, and this was his mask... she couldn't know. All she did know was that she wasn't ready for a commitment into a relationship, not right now. Not with everything going on.

That decision would be easier, if she distanced herself from him.

Bowen nodded as if he knew it was for the best. "Eternity is a long time...", he said without any expression or tone. The emotion had completely gone out of him. "I would have done it for any child..." He paused briefly and then spoke a whispered farewell. "Goodbye Vanessa." He put his hands in his pockets, walked to his car, and left without saying another word to her or looking back.

He reached over and gripped her hand. "I missed you so very much. I was very worried about you. Much has happened since you went missing..." He continued to drive. They were heading back to the office and the apartment located above it. "Alek is dead for one." He did not smile when he said that.

Chloe blinked as he gripped her hand in his, seemingly confused. "I.. I didn't mean to-- What?!" She turned to him, her eyes wide with both shock and anger.

She had wanted to rip his throat out herself.

Her jaw clenched slightly at his question and looked away. "Yeah.. I have." She admitted. She did not want to go further on that subject.

She bit the inside of her lip and sighed. "So you killed Alek..?" The question was more of a statement. She didn't need to ask, she just knew by the way he was acting that he had. "Did he.. Kill the little girl..?" She asked, almost afraid of the answer.

"The girl is alive. She will be okay. Children are resilient." He squeezed her hand once to let her know once more that he had missed her and then released it to he could shift gears. They passed the Professor Hotel and made the right and the left to enter the Vindex lot.

She nodded and relaxed slightly. "Good.." She whispered. "I'm.. Sorry.. About the other day.. I was trying to help.. And well.. I may have screwed up more than I realized.." She whispered. The double shifting every day had taken its toll on her. She was visibly thinner and had noticeable bags under her eyes.

As they pulled into the lot and parked, she unbuckled and moved to leave the car, stopping and sucking in air in a hiss as her ribs complained. She stayed very still for a long while.

He came around the car and without asking her, he picked her up in his arms. "Come now. I am sure you want a bath and some sleep. I could use some sleep and a good scrub myself." With that he would carry her from the lot, into the building, and take the elevator up. What they did with their time until late the next night was anyone's guess but it could be assured that they caught up on some much needed rest...

They spoke awhile. What she lacked to operate in Lutetia would be provided to her. He would arrange it so she could meet her partner the following day. He would also spend the next morning catching her up on what had recently transpired in the city and the current state of affairs. For now he would escort her out and ask her to spend the rest of the day ordering her living arrangements.

A few minutes later and he would see Alexander. Ms. Snow would escort him into his office. "Greetings Mr...?", he half stated and half asked as he extended his right hand in greeting.

"Meronin. Alexander Meronin. It's a pleasure to met you, Mr. Davion," Alexander responded, similarly extending his hand to grasp the one there. Quickly inspecting the man, Alexander felt an air of command and reliability about him, one used to receiving and giving it as needed. Smiling inwardly in reassurance that he had finally found one who could help him. Alexander removed the hood from his head.

"I've been hoping to meet you for some time now. Do you mind if I sit?" he queried, motioning to one of the armchairs in front of the desk. Nothing to do now but go through with it.

"Not at all. Please have a seat.", he said as he motioned to one of the seats and then moved to sit behind the desk. He unbuttoned his jacket and got comfortable before speaking. "How can I help you Mr. Meronin?" Bowen's gray eyes took stock of the man that sat at the other side of his desk.

Shifting anxiously, he gathered his thoughts. When was the last time something had unnerved him so? Shaking his head, Alexander looked up at Bowen. "I have been increasingly plagued by my conscience, Mr. Davion. You know how the common of the universe suffer in many places, especially evident here in Lutetia. It has been my goal to uplift the lives of these people. But the way I do this is not peaceful by any means. At first it didn't bother me. As I...eliminated...those that ruled despotically and unjustly, I felt accomplished, freeing those subjects of tyranny. More recently, however, my dreams have been infested by nightmares. I do not know why, but my soul feels stained by all the bloodshed I have caused. Most often my attempts have not succeeded, and this has disheartened me. What I seek is a way to better this universe through a purposeful organization, one desiring to help others. From what I have heard, you are the one to talk to," Alexander stated simply. Fear rushed through him, fear of being rejected, of once again being left to drift across the galaxy. It was a wonder he hadn't collapsed.

"You misunderstand me. I know the sting of love lost and so I am sorry for your loss. I can not be sorry for doing what needed to be done." She continued to speak and he nodded in response. He had no intent to follow her. "That is for the best." He did not respond to her statement of a possible alliance.

He doubted she would be thrown from the city but she was right. Too many things were happening in Lutetia as it was. Her introduction would only cause more strife. "May your days be many and your troubles be few.", he said in the old tongue before shifting and starting to pad away.
