2) Gender: Male
3) Age: 24
4) Race: Human (Ongoreth) - Wereleopard
5) Job/Class: Playboy/freeloader
6) Power: Extraordinary charm. Can transform partially or fully into a leopard at will. Strength about twice that of a human. Fights with his hands. Can heal most wounds very quickly, especially when in leopard form.
7) Appearance: A handsome Ongorethan man with a slender, muscular build and average height. Believes his “tight butt” and “rock hard abs” are his best features. His face is slender with catlike green eyes. His black hair parts at the side and hair hangs slightly into his face in the front, then spikes off wildly at various lengths to just below his shoulders. Hints of orange come into it when he stands in the sun. His eyes are green and catlike, with long, slitted pupils. He wears billowy white silk pants with black boots laced up to the middle of his shin over them. Over this he wears a formfitting, deep blue, sleeveless Chinese silk robe with a mandarin collar. The robe opens at the sides below his waist, falling in two pieces that hang to his knees. He has two earrings in his right ear. One is a jade cuff, and the other is a jade charm that hangs from his earlobe.
(A la Hyde from L’arc en Ciel):
. 8) Weaknesses: The scent of blood or fear is exciting to him and reduces his willpower/focus. During the full moon, he must transform whether he wishes to or not. He is weak against silver and flowing water, and highly allergic to wood if it punctures his skin. As a leopard, though, water is one of his favorite things, and he’ll often jump into it anyway. He’s a bit naïve, always giving people the benefit of the doubt.
9) Biography: Sano was born and raised in a wealthy family that trained him rigidly in the ways of courtly manners and discipline. He was being groomed to eventually become the keeper of the family’s shrine, but unfortunately, Sano didn’t have much motivation for his studies and was constantly distracted by the women of the town, who would creep up to the shrine walls to sneak conversations with him through the cracks. As a would-be priest, Sano was not permitted to spend time alone with females, and ideally should not have conversed with them at all, but being born with unnatural beauty, he inevitably drew the curious attention of the young women in town.
Sano enjoyed their company and affection. He would bestow flattery and affection upon them, going out of his way to raise their spirits when they came to him. Of course, no true relationships spawned out of this, and the townsfolk knew intrinsically that he was to be enjoyed, but not really possessed. He found the rigid life inside his compound lonely and frightfully dull, and his lack of interest in the spiritual arts was a constant source of frustration to his parents. One day, a stranger came up to the gates of the shrine. He snuck away to greet her, and found that she was a young lady with a gentle, mysterious face and catlike green eyes. “My friends have told me you wish to be free,” she said to him. Sano agreed cautiously, uncertain who had deduced such a thing. “My kind are like you. We are wild, fearsome, but also free. We live as our hearts command. What will you choose?”
Thinking she was an abomination, he turned her away. But every day, she returned, always alone, and waited patiently by the gates. On the fifth day, he’d made his decision, and went to meet her. “You are ready?” she asked. When he nodded, she said, “Give me your hand.” One of her fingernails grew out in a long claw, and she drew it down the length of his palm, drawing his blood. “You will know your place at the next full moon.”
Sure enough, when the full moon next rose, he learned the truth of his new nature. It was frightening, but also felt right somehow, like coming home. As if it was a part of himself he’d always been searching for, and finally found. When his family learned of his new form, they were furious, for a lycanthrope could not inherit the shrine. Having always been soft toward their son, though, they forgave him quickly, and granted him his request to go out and explore the world outside. They made sure he had enough gold to travel comfortably, and saw him off. It was strange, leaving his family, but he had felt sorely trapped for so long that it was difficult to do anything but rejoice at his new freedom.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know much about managing money, having always lived in wealth. Howevery, by the time the funds his parents gave him ran dry, he had developed such skill with people that he hardly wanted for anything as he traveled, charming the women he met along the way, and grew to be an expert at the arts of courtship and charm, not only for women, but men. It didn’t require much acting; Sano was a naturally gregarious person who genuinely loved people, and after being shut up so long, he found even the most ornery innkeeper fascinating and lovable.
10) Personality: Sano is a highly extroverted person who loves and can strike up a rapport with almost anyone he meets. He also thinks he is just about the sexiest thing possible, and humility is not one of his traits. He is a universal flirt and relatively indifferent to gender, charming both men and women when he takes a fancy to them. His wooing is not always done with sexual intent; often he just likes to admire other people and enjoys flattering them. He has a great appreciation for beauty. On the other hand, though he is close to everyone, he never seems to end up in serious relationships. This is partially because he’s always wandering from place to place, but also because he has a certain social awkwardness that still hasn’t bred out of him, having been raised to keep people at a distance. He is quick to become angry or protective if he sees someone being bullied or hurt by a stronger person. He also loooooves water. He likes to take baths, and though it weakens him, he’ll swim in streams and lakes when he finds them.
