[Physical Description:] Alister is tall and muscular with fairly tanned skin from summers spent outdoors. His hair is dark brown but his eyes are a clear and pale blue that often ranges to gray. He wears comfortable clothing, mostly t-shirts and jeans, and has a beaten up leather jacket that he loves. He's tamed down since his punk days but he still tends towards the rougher side of dress. It would take a miracle to get him into anything resembling a suit. Depending upon his mood he also grows out his facial hair, though he has less of a tendency to do that when he actually has a paying job.
[Personality:] Alister is outgoing and friendly, though there is a tough no-nonsense side about him that appears whenever he is agitated or angry. He has protective instincts towards women and children (like most decent men) and seeing anyone mistreat the two will warrant a tongue-lashing at best from the Scotsman. Since being bitten, he's grown a bit more aggressive, not tolerating anyone who sniffs around his territory, so to speak. His protective streak, as well as his temper, have escalated thanks to his new being.
[History:] Alister was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1975. His dad was an academic researcher with credentials from Cambridge and his mum was a stay at home wife, a product of the 1950s. His family remained in Scotland until he was fifteen years old, when his father got a job at Oxford. Transplanting to London wasn't easy for Alister. His little sister had less problems, since she was only an infant when they moved. When he arrived at the private school his parents had put him into, he became the introverted loner, being made fun of for his thick Scottish accent. He got into quite a few fights, getting suspended from school a few times before he was threatened with permanent expulsion, always to be saved by his father's reputation.
Upon graduation, Alister decided to go to college, and since he was interested in music he attended the The Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, focusing on vocal and guitar performance. His father was upset but said very little, as he'd wanted his son to go to Oxford. Alister fully believed it was what his sister was meant for.
His freshman year of college, though, his father disappeared. It was briefly in the news and Alister began looking into the matter, even though it was finally decided that his father ran off with another woman, since he was anything but faithful to his wife. In reality, his father owed a large amount of money to a bookie that he'd been unable to pay. Alister had never found out about his father's demise, though he always secretly suspected foul play.
After college, Alister made his way to Los Angeles to seek out a music contract. He had been quite successful as an independent musician for several years until he found out from his mother that his younger sister was now battling leukemia. With a lack of funds, Alister's family had trouble paying for his sister's treatment. Contacting an old family friend he'd found the number for in his father's Rolodex, he arranged to borrow a large sum of money to help support his sister's treatment. What he didn't know was that he had just gotten in deep with the same people his father had.
He was called back to London to pay up or else and he didn't have the cash. Unable to pay at the deadline, he was escorted out into the wilderness to be beaten senseless, but his tenacity managed to allow him to escape. However, it was a full moon and he didn't escape everything. He was viciously attacked by a werewolf and would have died had it not been for a paranoid sheep farmer and his rifle.
Alister refused to go to the hospital and the farmer respected his wishes. He stitched Alister up and kept him at the farm for several weeks, making sure that Alister was well enough to leave. When Alister recovered, he was surprisingly well and he thanked the farmer profusely before heading off towards London.
He's just made it back to find his flat ransacked and anything of material value missing. His next step is to ensure that his family is healthy and safe and to check on an old dear friend.
[Weakness:] Alister himself is weak against the needs of others, in particular those people he cares a great deal about. He will often put his own life on the line to make sure that they're safe or even happy. Personally, he has little sense of money or how to save it. Often, it is gone from his pockets only moments after he has it. It's not that he splurges, on the contrary. He has a tendency to spend it on others instead of himself. As a werewolf, he's weak against silver, must change every full moon, and the ability to change independently of the moon is difficult for him to learn. Worst of all, he has little to no control over his animal side.
[Strengths:] Alister is a caring and generous man, which gives him an amazing amount of willpower when it comes to people attempting to coerce or even argue with him. He is steadfast and loyal, sticking to the sides of his friends and family as if nothing in the world could seperate them. He was also at a peak physical condition when he was turned, so he's athletic in addition to his werewolf traits. His wolf form is much larger than a traditional wolf and he has heightened speed, strength, agility and stamina. Consequently, as a result of his turning, he's not affected by black or white magic and is immortal.
