Serus Tarsin

Real Name: Serus Tarsin
Age: 18
Race: Human
Hair: Short Brown
Eyes: Bright Red
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 194 lbs.
Occupation: Shape-Shifter Mage
Personality: Serus is an exceedingly kind person, and attempts to be friendly with everyone he meets. He also has a decent sense of humor, and is usually able to make light of even some of the worst predicaments. Although generally well mannered, he can be a little hot headed at times, rushing in to situations that could have been avoided. Serus also has a unique gift with animals. Even animals that are considered to wild to handle will let the shape-shifter make physical contact. He also loves to be outside, and thoroughly enjoys the cold weather.
Appearance: Serus is exceptionally tall and fairly slender and thin. His short brown hair is usually a mess, since he rarely bothers to comb it. His eyes are a red so bright that they always appear to be glowing. Serus has a slightly muscular body, but is much stronger than he appears. He wears simple pants and boots, but rarely adorns more than a sleeveless shirt.
History: The driving snow made it almost impossible to see. It seemed to be getting worse too. He couldn’t take it any more, and dropped to his knees as tears swelled in his eyes. His entire body was shivering. He usually welcomed the cold, but this time it felt different. Like it was freezing over his bones.
He forced himself onto his feet, only to walk a few steps before stumbling face first into the ground. There was no way he was going to make it. Soft crunches started echoing to his left, and continued to grow louder. He couldn’t move a muscle. His entire body was now shaking uncontrollably from the fear. The tremors got worse as two large shadowy figures approached him.
Serus sat up in his bed, breathing heavily in the darkness. It was only a dream. A fragment of the earliest thing he could remember. The day a couple of Tel’Han monks had found him as a small child lost and freezing in the mountain scape. He couldn’t believe that the day still haunted him. However, it not for those monks, he wouldn’t have the home he has now.
Since that fateful incident at the age of six, Serus has lived with the Tel’Han monks. He showed an immediate interest in the ways of the mage, and deeply desired to be one. As he grew, his ever present connection to nature and the creatures that inhabit it, led him to learn to shape-shift into different animals. Although he had still only mastered transforming into a jackal, it was still a morph he was capable of for short increments of time. If the mage went any longer, he began to feel fatigue, and sometimes lose consciousness all together. Serus yearned to have a library of different beasts, but for some reason it was harder for him to master than a lot of the others. He slid out of his bed, and started getting dressed. He needed to clear his head, and a nice walk outside would do just that.
Skills:
Animal Shape-Shifting
Jackal Shape-Shift: With a bit of concentration, Serus can transform his body into that of a jackal. It takes a small amount of concentration to stay in morph, so he cannot stay in this animal form for more than a short amount of time.
Equipment: Simple clothing; no weapons.
