________Personal Identification
Name: Finnian "Finn" Doherty
Age: 15
Race: Shadebound
Physical Description: Tall, at least six foot, but lanky and fairly lean, Finn has pale skin sprinkled with freckles, with bright blue eyes and short, shaggy ash brown hair--although streaks of white caused by the thing he is give his hair an almost silvery tone. He also has a patch of scarred, blackened skin on his chest that he believes has something to do with his death, which he cannot recall. He wears simple clothes, not caring much for elegant or expensive attire, but is always thankful when he can get something a little on the nicer side. He is typically seen wearing a t-shirt, sweater, and a pair of slacks, as well as shoes when he can get them.
Shadebound
- When in his Shadebound form, Finn becomes a wolf-like creature that stands perhaps three-and-a-half feet at the shoulder. The creature is thin with sinewy muscle and thick, bluish-black fur that seems almost oily in texture. It bears long, deadly claws on its feet and bone-like protrusions along its back. Rather than a wolf face, however, instead rests a canine skull, and instead of eyes, two pale pools seems to seep mana from them in a near constant stream. The closer to purification he is, the heavier it seems to pour.
- • He gains proficiencies for natural weapons such as Claws and Bite.
• If he accidentally harms his charge while in this state, his is instantly thrown back into his human form and will lose all of his Stamina.
- • Harming Others - Which includes everyone but especially those he marks as his charge.
• Watching Others Be Harmed - He's a mild pacifist in that he can't stand the sight of others getting hurt, and wants to intervene, but often this leads to him hurting the person he's trying to save.
• Fire - He has a deep seated fear fire that started after he woke in the new world. He's not entirely sure where the fear comes from, and chalks it up to being a phobia.
- A boy who doesn't want to cause harm to others but tends to cause it being what he is, Finn is an introvert with a heavy amount of social anxiety. Combined with the trouble he finds in reading social cues due to an injury in his past life--which also left him nearly blind--he struggles quite a bit in the presence of others. He comes off as awkward and shy, and is easily embarrassed in an almost cute way. But he is fiercely loyal and wants only the best for those that he considers close to him. The only problem is that others always seem to get hurt around him.
Finn is not the brightest light bulb, and often finds himself in situations he needs help getting out of. But this leads to him having a fairly happy-go-lucky and optimistic attitude toward things once he can get past his fear of hurting others.
On the downside, he is quick to anger once he considers something he views as his in danger. In fact this anger is strong enough to trigger his Shadebound form even when there isn't complete darkness like others of his kind. Once changed, he has little control over himself, and will lash out until either the threat is eliminated or he is otherwise stopped. This brings his personality full circle, where his rage often causes those he loves harm, and he in turn secludes himself again.
- Finn was an average boy from an average world who would have led an average life if he hadn't been kidnapped at age fifteen, during which time he received a serious blow to the head that left him almost blind and damaged the information center of his brain. He lost much of his computing ability and most of his social skills--Not that he knew this, due to the short time he lived following. This did not deter his kidnapper from torturing him and a couple of others who were likewise taken slowly and painfully while waiting for some sort of ransom payment, or something. He couldn't be sure why any of it was happening, and none of the others knew either. He doesn't know how much time passed, days or months, in a dark, dank place he could only guess was a basement or cellar. All he could do was protect the other two to the best of his ability and take the brunt of the abuse, which he seemed to succeed with for the most part.
It was in that place that he drew his final breaths following retaliation and an attempted escape. To this day, he has no idea what exactly killed him, or if the two others ever made it out alive. Regardless, he somehow awoke in the new world, albeit not exactly alive, but the trauma he had sustained to his head seems to have carried over.
- • Monstrous Defender: Nothing means more to Finn than the one he deems his charge. Be it a person or an object (however, it cannot be a place), Finn can mark one target in which his Shadebound form will be released if he ever considers them threatened. This includes in any level of light. However, in daylight or any sort of bright light, the alternate form only receives half of its normal bonuses. He has no control over this transformation, and is unable to tell friend from foe, outside of his charge, while in this state.
• Blindsight: Finn gains the ability to see clearly, in a way, while hidden away in the darkness. While in his Shadebound form, Finn switches out Divine Gaze for Blindsight. When in bright light or daylight, the range of this sight is reduced by half. Blindsight in this form is constant and does not require an initial cost.
• Corrupted Evolution: Due to his strange nature, Finn finds himself capable of more than most of his kind. Gain three [3] Evo points.
