The Archer
03-01-07, 04:41 PM
Name: Q'sephirath Ad'huast (Seth)
Age: 24
Race: Lycanthrope (Fox)
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Green/Black
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 180
Build: Muscular/Slim
Personality: His personality seems to change depending on who he's with. Among children, he likes to be a fun-loving sort of guy that can get strict after certain lines have been crossed. Among women, he is respectful and very quiet -- not trying to look like the strong silent type, but simply because he's had sisters and knows that females fight dirty. Among foes, his animal side tends to become dominant, and if he must fight, he prefers to do it tooth and claw.
In general, he is charming and clever -- the fox side coming out.
Appearance: Seth has three different and distinct appearances, each depending on the shape of the moon. The only thing that remains the same in all three forms are his eyes. The left is the deepest and richest shade of green imaginable, and the right is pitch black.
Standard: Seth's standard form is roughly half fox and half human. He has a fox's head and back, thick fur covering him from ear tip to tail tip and down his legs. His knees and ankles are approximate to those of a fox, and he walks on his toes. He has mostly-human hands, complete with opposable thumbs, but the backs of those are covered with fur and he has claws at the tips of his fingers.
His head is fox-like, but the mouth retains enough of his human form that he can speak clearly, if a little gruffly. His chest and belly are well toned and almost hairless.
FORM ABILITIES
Strength
In this particular form, Seth is about 1.25x as strong as an average human.
Bite
Seth's teeth in this form (as in his regular fox form) are designed to shred flesh. As such, any bite inflicted in this form will be very painful and risk spreading the Lycanthropy virus with which Seth has been infected.
Regen
In this form, Seth can regenerate light wounds at a rate of 1 per round, or medium wounds at a rate of 1 per six posts or 1 per 2 rounds. Heavy wounds take 10-15 posts to regenerate (or overnight, if applicable) and exhausts him to do so.
Human: During the two or three days while the moon is new, Seth reverts to his human form. He doesn't sport much hair in this form at all, save for the thick and somewhat shaggy hair that almost covers his eyes. His features are pleasantly strong and clean, and his eyes shine brightly despite the disparity of color. In this form he grows to 6'3", as the half-form takes a little height off of him, and his musculature is somewhat diminished. This is Seth's most vulnerable form.
FORM ABILITIES
In this form, Seth loses Strength, Bite, and Regen.
Fox: In this form (during the full moon), Seth is an average sized black fox male with red ears and tail-tip. However, his mass remains the same as it does in his other two forms, making it difficult to walk. Therefore, when he is in this form, he tries not to move much.
FORM ABILITIES
Bite
Seth's teeth in this form (as in his half-fox form) are designed to shred flesh. As such, any bite inflicted in this form will be very painful and risk spreading the Lycanthropy virus with which Seth has been infected.
In this form, Seth loses Regen.
History: Seth grew up a normal kid in a town in Salvar. His friends knew him as Alfred -- just Al, really. Winters were cold, summers were temperate, school was school, and hunting was fun. He and his friends were the best looking teenagers in the town, and he had no need to spend any weekend without female company.
Al grew up an avid bowman, and often would join his father on the hunt (or just do the family hunting and let his dad bring in the crop). He grew up in a family of eight: his father and mother, along with his two older sisters, twin sister, and two younger sisters. He was his father's pride and joy, his mother's little darling, and very close with his sisters. He was a guy that had it all and knew it, in so far as he didn't lack anything he needed.
One day on the hunt, he had set a trap and when he came back, he found a beautiful red fox in it, trying to chew his way free. Al reached to grab the fox by the back of the neck so he could snap its neck and skin it, but the animal bit him first. He did manage to take the pelt home and wrap up his hand. He got a pretty penny for the pelt and didn't think any more about the bite for another twenty-eight days, when he fell suddenly ill. It was an illness no one had seen before, during which he paled and lost all his strength.
This illness lasted another twenty-eight days, and then suddenly cleared up. Al was merely a shadow of himself, but he seemed to be on the mend.
Two weeks later, on the night of the full moon, he started running a high fever, which lasted three days, after which he started changing. His face grew longer, his teeth shaper, and thick fur began to cover most of him. Finally the tail grew in. His family, no longer recognizing their brother and son, chased him out with nothing but his clothes, a bow, and a quiver full of arrows.
Without anyone to call his own, and realizing that his past was behind him, Alfred changed his name to Q'sephirath Ad'huast -- it was just the first thing that came to mind. Finding that hard to say, he shortened it to Seth and traveled away from his native Salvar, eventually finding himself in Corone. The Civil War there didn't suit him, so he kept on wandering until he found a place that seemed peaceful. He doesn't know yet what the land is called, as he has yet to see another living soul, but he can hunt and even fish some, and he finds the life suits him.
Skills
Archery: Seth has been practicing with the bow for almost twenty years now, however, he was a fairly close-range hunter. As a result, he can hit almost anything within five yards. His accuracy decreases to half at fifteen yards and almost nil at 25.
Tracking: Seth often needed to track game over somewhat long distance, and can follow a set of prints in substances like mud or brush fairly well, but not well over grass, sand, or hard-packed dirt.

Yew longbow
Leather quiver (worn at hip)
