Previous Titles:
Current title: Delegate Team Member, Sequoia
Abilities:
Berkserkrgang: Like his mother and his late sister, Hari has gotten the most famous inherited ability of his family, berserker strength. He can switch to a state where his athletic ability is vastly increased and he is incapable of feeling pain. As a result a berserkr in full battle is a terrifying sight to behold, and they can easily take down large numbers. However the accompanying rage a and bloodlust make its users much less capable of thinking tactically, and will generally simply lay into enemies madly.
Flaws:
-Much like his mother, Hari doesn't tend to think stuff through. He's not unintelligent, but doesn't tend to really engage his brain when he makes decisions, which can often lead him into trouble.
-Berserkrgangr drains a lot of energy from the user and reduces their physical capability afterwARD, leaving them vulnerable.
Description:
Hari is athletic enough, like most of his family, and werewolves in general, but is smaller and wirier than his older brother. His hair is paler than most of the Neverwinters, a sort of red-gold colour rather than the bright red of Kora. His eyes are a blue-grey sort of colour, though s common with berserkers they will flare red when his powers become active. Much like his mother he doesn't seem overly concerned with how he dresses, and tends to be quite practical.
Hari has no middle name, an odd little quirk, but Kora had never settled on one. She and Grant had always alternated. She'd chosen the first name of 'Helena' for their first child, and he'd chosen 'Alys' as the middle name. He'd chosen 'Hunter' for their eldest son, now she'd chosen 'Hari' and had no-one to ask about the middle name. So she left it off in a sign of optimism that he would not be gone long. Eighteen years later, Hari is still without one, though it's not a major problem.
Whilst Hari is unaware of it, on his birth, a demon nearly killed both him and his mother with its dark magic and both were saved by a pact made by his sister with the creature. This has left Hari with a faint, but troubling connection to something not quite of this world. Hari has never been sure what to make of it, but he's experienced terrible recurring nightmares for years. He doesn't tend to speak about it with his family but he has relayed them to Chris once in a while. It's gotten a bit worse in recent years and as a result Hari has some periodic insomnia, often finding himself wandering around the city in the small hours.
Training:
Hari is, primarily a hand to hand fighter. His aim isn't fantastic and his abilities lend themselves to getting up close with his enemies. For that though, Hari is extremely good at it. Kora was very strict about training him to defend himself, and as such he's an extremely strong and efficient fighter. Chances are if he can close the distance between himself and a specter, he can dispatch it.
History:
Hari was born the same day that things began to go wrong in the North. Well, things had been moving toward it for a long time, but it was the day that he was born that his dad left and the Reckoning commenced. They'd not even finalized his name before everything fell apart. The place he was born was attacked, many of the people murdered, including his elder sister, and the world fell apart. The only fortune this bestowed on the young Hari though was that he was too young to remember what had taken place.
As a result, his memories are of growing up in Sequoia. He was raised jointly, between Kora, Rei and Midnight, though Kora was always the one most protective of the kid. Having been too young to recall the events hat led upto this, Hari never quite understood her fear for this.
Personality:
Hari is, by and large a product of his environment. Someone who was raised in a rather grim reality who has taken it as the norm, and as such Hari might be seen as a little bit of a savage by old world standards. He knows all about how best to kill a specter or a bandit but he's less adept in the more sophisticated aspects of life. Like dealing with people.
Hari has been friends with Chris for about as long as he can remember. The two grew up together and have been getting into trouble jointly ever since both were old enough to walk and swallow small objects, however he's not so good at talking to people he hasn't known for years, especially when it comes to the opposite sex.
The young werewolf cares deeply for his mother, though he would be the first person to admit that Kora was insane and unreasonable. He's generally unfazed by his mother's moods and inconsistency, though he tends to deal with it by staying out of the house. If he has problems he wants to talk over he'd prefer to go to Claire Straight to get a slightly more....balanced opinion on the situation.
Hari tends to have a more positive views on his biological dad than Chris does on his, if indeed one of the people up there is his dad. Kora's told Hari plenty about Grant whilst growing up, including some of the stuff about his Casanova period of sleeping his way round the immortal world, and Hari's concluded that he kinda likes the sound of the guy, even if he's only ever met him briefly.
The other missing family member whom he knows a lot less about however is Helena. Kora's not been keen to talk about her eldest, and all he really came to know about her from his mom was that she was his half-sister, and that she was killed at the beginning of the blight, a little before her nineteeth birthday. Kora has deliberately avoided any details about the fate of Helena and Garrett, only that they were killed. Hari grew up to not be too suspicious of this, only to assume that his sister must have died in rather traumatic circumstances that have led Kora not to want to go into any detail about it to Hari, and though he feels like he could handle it, he knows better than to try and make his mother do anything she doesn't want to do. Once a Neverwinter is set on something it's near impossible to dissuade them from it. Anything else he has found out has been through conversations with Claire and Hunter, who were contemporaries of his sister, but he still feels vaguely sad about the idea that he would never get to know her.
He also knows very little about his mom's side of the family, aside from Magdalene. Wrapped up enough in the everyday issues of the world he has not really asked up til now.
