Appearance: Jesse is very small, barely standing at 5’, is he quite slim but certainly not ‘perfect’ and not toned at all. He has a small cute face with huge sparkly amber eyes that most people assume are contact lenses, they’re not, they are cats eyes. His hair is dark brown and usually flopping around his face as it is quite shaggy. He is naturally quite tan and does spend a lot of time outdoors.
He can usually be down wearing either quite tight trousers or slightly baggy jeans, with either a random t-shirt that is a little too big or some sort of shirt with large collar often with some sort of pattern. Most of the time he can he found wearing sneakers.
In his lion form is he considerably larger though for a lion very small and would always be considered a runt. He has dark sandy fur with a chocolate brown mane, which is still very shaggy. He looks quite scary but isn’t, at all.
In his half form he is almost 6’ tall, with a long tail, huge paw like hands and feet, a mane though his face is mostly human just a little furry. He does have some nasty teeth though and a slight scattering of fur over his body.
Personality: Jesse is dumb; he very much lacks common sense. Though if he really thinks about something he may actually appear as intelligent, he doesn’t see the point in it though. He sees the bright side of life, everything is good and sparkly, he also really likes sparkly and shiny things.
To other people he is always nice, unless you hurt or offend a friend of his, that’s never a good idea. Otherwise he will go out of his way to help, or at least be nice. Because he is, has a tendency to wonder off mid conversation though.
He is an adrenaline junkie, loves extreme sports and will try anything once and usually twice and a third time. He usually good at them too! He hurts himself sometimes but it goes with the job so he can’t really complain, not that he would.
Special abilities/talents: Expert skate/snowboarder, also great on blades, ski’s or any other extreme sports.
Supernatural Affinity: Lycanthrope Species/Group: Werelion/ born lycan Power(s): Shape shifting, good vision/ night vision, enhanced senses, great balance and other things associated with Lycanthropy. Preferred Prey: Whatever he can get his paws on, but prefers not to hunt.
History: Jesse’s family lived on the outskirts of Mysteria, they had a small house but didn’t use it much, choosing to spend most of their time in their lion forms. He was the youngest of about six siblings and had always been quite runtish. At times his mother would worry he would not survive. The family preyed on wild animals and livestock, not really seeing any difference between the two. Jesse often changed forms for no reason and would sometimes get stuck in his human form.
One such time the family had aggravated some neighbouring farmers who had lost all their livestock to these beasts. They went out armed and tracked them down, slaughtering them one by one, until they came with the toddler, running around naked in the woods. Thinking this highly strange they took the boy in. He remembers none of this.
They consulted a hunter about the boy, he took one look at him and told them he was certainly not human and told them they should do what they did to the others. They had however grown rather attached to him, named him and everything. So they decided to keep him and raise him as a human. It worked for so long, when he did change the lion cub was quite easy to control and quite cute.
He was quite good at school, didn’t show any odd behaviour apart from the fact that he never paid attention and often got notes home asking for him to take out his contact lenses. Of course he couldn’t as they were his actual eyes. At the age of ten his father bought him a skateboard and he took to it very quickly. Soon he was showing off anywhere he found to skate.
Problems started when he hit puberty, human hormones were one thing, but where you added in the lion factor he was terrible. He got sent home and almost charged for sexual harassment several times. Plus if he was bullied usually because he was so small and a little odd he would fight back unaware of his own strength. Eventually his parents, who were getting on years by this point decided they had to tell him everything. He wasn’t surprised he was adopted, though he had never heard of a werelion before, but it was a relief to know what he was. He went out and tested all his abilities and slowly learnt what he could do around humans and what he couldn’t.
He only just graduated high school, but was quickly offered a sponsorship for his amazing boarding skills. Now he still lives in Mysteria but does travel around the country to compete, he’s actually won quite a nice bit of money. He bought his parents a house in the middle of town and himself an apartment, as well as keeping the ledge on the outskirts. That has pretty much eaten up all of the money he has made so far. One thing is he is finding odd is sometimes people realise that he’s an extreme sports superstars, then there screaming and the running starts. Not so much in his own town though thankfully, people there just think he’s one of those odd skater kids that refuses to grow up.
Flaws:
Phobia – Jesse is afraid of guns – though he doesn’t know why, the one thing his parents still haven’t told him is his family were murdered, so he doesn’t know why he’s afraid of guns he just is. It’s a paralysing fear too.
Curiosity – Jesse is insanely curious, if there’s something going on he just has to know what, or if you’ve got something he must know! It has a tendency to get him in sticky situations. Allergic – Like all Lycan’s he is allergic to silver, which is very bad!
Easily distracted – Jesse likes shiny things or sparkly things, in fact most things can grab his attention, and it’s not hard to do. The only time he can really focus is when skating. Even then he’s been known to drift off.
Merits:
Entertainment Ties – Being a sporting hero, even such an odd ones does have its good points, he does know a lot of people in the bizz, though he would never drop names or anything, but if he needed them they’d be there for him man.
Luck – He doesn’t know why but he is really lucky. Not anything big, just the little things. He lives a dangerous life so it’s quite a good thing.
Perfect Balance – Being a cat Jesse has great balance which is really useful!
