Biography:
When Chris was born his parents both thought the other was an ordinary human while in truth his mother was a skinwalker from a very old bloodline and his father was part of a European group of hunters. A few days after Chris was born his mother found out about her lover's true identity, took Chris and ran.
Living in hiding from his father wasn't always easy but the two managed, Chris even learned a bit about fighting but was never really drawn to martial arts and so his fighting skills were enough to defend himself and maybe even win a few fights but he wasn't an expert fighter. Instead, his skill was more in parkour and dodging. His ability to avoid a hit got noticed by his school and even got him a few awards in competitions later on, which wasn't a good thing for someone living in hiding from hunters.
When he was fifteen and shifted into an animal for the first time his mother was ecstatic. She started teaching him a few things about being a skinwalker but one night when Chris was out buying groceries tragedy struck. Hunters found his home and attacked. Chris came home to find a gruesomely bloody scene, his mother had been killed and left to bleed out on the kitchen floor. Ever since then he had been living by himself but he did have a sort of instructor for herbology for a while before he moved yet again. Because his mother died so early into his discovery of being a skinwalker he never found out that his wasn't the only supernatural species out there and since he picked rather small towns and places to live in he didn't run into many others of his kind let alone other beings.
He recently found a good offer for an apartment in Cleora and a job so he decided to move there.
Classes: None
Strengths: Shapeshifting, parkour, herbal knowledge,...
Weaknesses: Doesn’t know about the existence of other supernatural beings besides his kind, if he doesn’t shift for a long time it can drive him ‘crazy’, his father is a hunter he is currently in hiding from.
|| Abilities ||
Abilities:
- Shapeshifting (using something that used to belong to an animal like claws, fangs, fur, bones, etc… he can shift into that animal. For that he inherited a necklace with the fang of a black panther he keeps on him at all times.)
- Healing (he can use shapeshifting as a way to heal incredibly fast, almost instantly.)
- Dream Visions (he can see into the past, present or future in his dreams but he has no control over when he would have such dreams and when not because his mother didn’t have time to teach him how before she died).
- Herbal ‘magic’ (basically just using herbs to make teas or other products that slightly improve things for people like faster healing, dream quests, health, beauty, etc… its very low level and nothing anyone would call magical since it isn’t instantaneous -it takes a while to take effect- or drastic, some people just think he has a great herbal skill.
- Quick reflexes and slightly heightened senses and strength – nowhere near as much as a vampire or werewolf's but still more heightened than a human.
Weaknesses:
- He can be killed by anything a human can just that it is a lot harder since he has fast reflexes and is able to heal by shifting. He can be prevented from shifting by simply taking away anything he has on or near him that is from an animal (or to keep animals away from him so he can't find another way to shapeshift).
- If deprived of the chance to shift it could eventually ‘drive him crazy’. (it's like an itch under your skin that you can't scratch, eventually it would drive you crazy)
- If the animal he is shifting into is too far from his original size (like a bird, house cat or such) the transformation is very painful.
