Nickname: "AJ" or "Fang"
Age: 18
God: Artemis
Powers: Anthony, commonly called AJ, or Fang, is blessed with the power to project his aura around his body in the shape of a Bengal Tiger, thereby allowing him to acquire the strength, speed, senses, and reflexes of the powerful animal. The Aura also protects him from some damage, and can intimidate those who are very easily unnerved. His normal immune system is also strengthened by at least three times as well, regardless of whether his powers are activated or not.
When activated, Anthony is surrounded with an Orange, Flame like aura, which, depending on how much he is using, can seem like a small flame on his arm or leg, or completely surround him in the shape of a Bengal Tiger's head whose movements mimic his own faces. When he is at full power he floats inside his aura as it forms a full Tiger body the size of a bus.
Simply put, the more power he exerts, the more aura is expelled from his body, doubling everything mentioned above with each stage.
Weaknesses: When he is not in his Aura-Form, as he's taken to calling it, he is very much a normal human being. He has a crippling fear of being locked up in any sort of way; one sight of chains or cages makes him freeze in his tracks out of fear. Using his Aura-based powers is also extremely taxing, and as such, he could end up actually damaging his own body to the point of hacking up blood.
Sexuality: Heterosexual.
Appearance:
*Note: he doesn't actually wear glasses, this is merely a reference.
AJ is commonly seen wearing a simple green hoodie, a normal black T-shirt, and brown Cargo pants held up by a belt of black leather. Around his feet are regular running shoes that look a little worn out from use. He stands at approximately six feet two inches tall, and has a toned muscular build which makes him look rather unassuming. His eyes are a rather unnatural yellow hue due to being blessed his his powers by Artemis, and are feline in nature, the pupils moving from circles to slits depending on his mood, the situation, or the lighting. He was given his nickname "Fang" because his canine teeth were always so sharp compared to everyone around him, and looked feline in nature as well. His skin has a very light tan, and his hair isn't anything special, being a dark shade of brown that he keeps short because of how curly it gets when it is long.

Personality:
Anthony is generally a pretty nice guy; he loves to joke around, he likes to hang out, and he just likes being around people in general. He is also quite lazy, sleeping most of the day somewhat like a cat and usually being active at night. He is a hard worker, however, and does what is necessary to get what he wants when he wants it, whatever the task. He is extremely stubborn at the same time, however, and tends to be like a blank wall made of concrete with a foundation at least ten feet in the ground when he doesn't want to do something while someone is trying to convince him to do it.
He has a nasty temper though, and when set off he can be the meanest, cruelest, most heartless person one could ever meet. His verbal abuse alone has caused some muggers and thugs that have picked fights with him to turn tail and run away from him. He is fiercely loyal and protective of those close to him, and will fight to the death if necessary to protect them at all costs.
History:
Anthony didn't have a good history..... Because of his abnormally large fangs, his parents kept him locked up in a cage for most of his days, thinking he was some sort of monster, even though he otherwise was completely human. His mother however did show him some kindness, as all mothers should, and was usually the one who let him out of his cage and gave him the attention he so desperately needed and wanted. For years he lived like this, however his father only got colder, and harsher as time went on, insisting that Anthony wasn't his son.
At the age of five, the Goddess Artemis appeared before Anthony and offered him a choice; be stuck living in this cage forever, or get powers of whatever he wanted. Around Anthony were stuffed Tigers, and while hugging one close he told the Goddess that he wanted to be "Strong and cool, like the tiger!" The Goddess Smiled, and granted his wish, allowing him to use his aura and emotions to fuel his powers. For a few more years, however, he lived in that cage, and when he was about eight years old, he finally grew tired of it, using his now almost mastered powers to break out and escape his home, never to return.
Now that he is free, he lives in an apartment with two or three other people who mind their own business. Their names are Jack and Andrew; Jack being a female and Andrew being obviously male.
Family:
Aside from his Mother and Father, whose Names he never knew he knows of no other family members as he was locked in that cage for most of his life.
Other:
Nothing worth Noting.
