Oh Mama, I'm in fear for my life
From the long arm of the law
Law man has put an end to my running
And I'm so far from my home
Name: Ivan James Resnov
Occupation: Bit-thief, hired muscle for the Bloodstone Pack
Details: Ivan is a werewolf of what could be considered a mild degree. Rather than fully shapeshifting at the full moon, or changing into a fully grown wolf/man combo for combat, Ivan's transformation triggers at will, mostly utilized during self defense, fight-or-flight situations where he or those he cares about are threatened. There are two stages to Ivan's transformation, though there are varying degrees between them.
- "Hulk" Stage: In this stage, Ivan becomes a beast-man, standing around eight feet tall and weighing almost five hundred pounds. His teeth become more pronounced, his hands and feet grow claws, and his muscles bulge outwards. He still stands in a bipedal position, is able to think coherently, communicate, reason, and utilize all of his brain functions. His fur is a whitish gray, matching his hair and beard as a human. Returning back to his human form has no consequences save for a ravaging hunger.
- "Wolf" Stage: In this stage, Ivan becomes a thirteen foot tall wolf (at the point of his shoulder), weighing five thousand pounds, and possessing inhuman strength even for a creature of his size. He carries himself on all fours. He loses the ability to communicate verbally, and much of a wolf's baser instincts - notably, those carried over from Ivan as a human (alliances, enemies, family etc) - guide his actions while in this form. Returning to human form straight from this form will leave Ivan weak and disoriented as the physical and mental toll is great. The recovery time is a little under two hours.
Alongside these specific transformations, Ivan has a very quick regenerative rate of tissue, fluid, and bone, and does not have an allergy or weakness to silver in any state.
