Cort

Race: Human, Lycanthrope
Age: Twenty Eight
Appearance (Human): Cort is an average sized human, about mid-five foot height. He has a medium build, weighing around on hundred and sixty pounds. His hair is a dark grey, and often scruffy, though rarely long. Though clean shaven, his knuckles are hairier than normal. His eyes are also abnormal: they are yellow, and animalistic, and when in rage they turn to a blood red. His teeth appear slightly sharpened, and he overall has a feral, hardened look to him. He often favors dark brown pants, vests, boots, and flat brimmed hats, as well as offwhite shirts. He has a strong disdain for silver, and refuses to carry any.
Appearance (Dire Wolf): Cort appears like a much larger and stronger version of a normal wolf, with fur of dark grey, the same as his hair. His eyes are yellow and more intelligent than a normal wolf's. They also turn blood red when in rage. He is large enough to be mounted: nine feet long, six foot at the withers, and around nine hundred pounds.
Appearance (Hybrid):Cort, in his hybrid form, is extremely large. He is around eight foot tall in this form, with a strong, muscled build, yet still the leanness of his normal self. His fur is the same color, as are his eyes. The rage still turns them red. He looks like a humanoid wolf, with the same deadly teeth and claws of a wolf, yet the posture and two legged stance of a human. He runs the same speed as his human self.
Personality: Cort is of average intelligence, and with a better than average common sense. Though he tends to avoid humans, he will help any who are in trouble, whether being robbed by bandits, or attacked by other werewolves. He dislikes lumberjacks, though will try to scare them rather than kill them. He spends most of his time as a human, and never hesitates to take the shape of his hybrid form. He is condescending to people he fights, and generally tried to avoid being close to any one. And yet, when danger arises, he won't waver to fight with and defend others.
History: Cort had an interesting childhood. He was raised by two loving parents who taught him how to resist the natural blood hunger that lycanthropes (particularly werewolves) tended to have. At the age of nineteen, both his parents were slain by werewolf hunters. Despite this, Cort doesn't hold a grudge against all of humankind. Since then he has lived a life of quiet solitude, hunting for food when he had to, and using bandits and other ne'er-do-wells to satiate his bloodlust.

Weapons

Fangs: When in Dire Wolf, or hybrid form, Cort can bite an enemy (though the blow is more deadly in hybrid form.) There is a chance that who ever he bites can contract Lycanthopy.
Claws: Cort, in hybrid and dire wolf forms, gains deadly claw, one on each digit of his hand/foot/paw. Hybrid claws are slightly deadlier.

Special Powers

Controlled Lycanthropy: Being a natural lycanthrope, Cort has complete control over himself in his alternate forms, and can choose to change into them on force of will alone.
Scent: Cort has the superior sense of smell of a wolf in all forms.
Low Light Vision: Cort can see in little light in all forms.
Immunity: Cort resists most damage (75%) of all mundane damage dealt to him. However, if the weapon used against him is silver, it deals heavy damage (150%). Magic Items deal normal damage. This is only in his animal or hybrid forms.
Rage: In all his forms, Cort can enter an animal rage, multiplying the damage he deals by 1.25, and he cannot respond to pain. As a result, his defense is worsened, and his eyesight is worse.
