About

Primary Ability: Heightened Senses

  • Due to his nature, Lovell's basic senses (sight, smell, and hearing, while touch and taste aren't improved by a notable amount) are amplified. His sense of smell is roughly 100 times more sensitive than a normal human. His sight is fairly normal but does grant him improved low-light vision, though he also exhibits red-green colorblindness. His hearing is roughly twice as sensitive as a normal human's. While not necessarily a sense, Lovell does seem very empathetic and can be a good judge of emotion and atmosphere.

Secondary Ability: Wolf Mode

  • Lovell, for all intents and purposes, is a werewolf. While he himself was never bitten by a werewolf, his father was and that genetic mutation was subsequently passed down to him. Du to his unique situation, he is capable of taking on a bestial form, but not in the same sense. Where as bitten werewolves change during certain phases of the moon as well as situations of emotional duress, Lovell only changes due to his emotional state; though some phases of the moon do cause him to become edgy and impatient. Even when he has changed, he still mostly maintains his human form, except with as large increase in body hair. His senses also get increased even further and they begin to reflect his canine genome. He also receives a notable increase in his physical power, but will often also suffer from impaired judgement.

History: Lovell's history itself is fairly standard. He spent the first seven years of his life growing up in the wooded areas around Winnipeg, Canada, and during this time his father who is a woodsman taught him all about being self sufficient and living off of the land. In his youth he was ingrained with a sense that solitude and nature were all that he needed, and in time that sense became the cornerstone of Lovell's character. He has since maintained a reverence for nature as a hunter who relies on it for everything he needs.
When he grew older thought he noticed odd changes in his physiology that included him growing up faster than other kids, his senses becoming more acute, and early body hair; he has been shaving since he was around ten. It was around this time that Lovell's father sat him down and explained the situation. As it turned out, his father had been biten by a werewolf probably four years before Lovell was born, and it appeared that his father's fears of his condition affecting his son were well founded. Worried for his son's sake, Lovell's father took the boy and moved South of the border into the state of Minnesota, and finding the state's forested Northern hills a comfortable environment for both Lovell and himself.
So from there Lovell began living just outside of the small town of Tofte. It was pleasant enough, the scenery was beautiful, the forests deep, and Lake Superior stretched off beyond the horizon to the East, so the young Lovell took to it almost immediately. Stiking around his home up in the hills, Lovell never really bothered getting to know the townspeople all that well since he saw no reason for it. Though, when out in the forests with his father he would sometimes meet another child around his age; she was young and often played in the woods and the waters of the area. Aside from passing acknowledgement and the occasional interaction Lovell never really went out of his way to speak with her, much less play with her like a normal kid would.
Growing older, Lovell's sense of independence only grew and he began venturing out on his own to either hunt, fish, or simply camp. He was becoming more attuned to the wilds and was becoming a very adept hunter. Though as he expanded what he viewed as his hunting territory he often bumped into that same girl, only now she more often than not would hassle him on his hunting practices and other various technicality and observations. Eventually, the two reconciled to the point where they respect each others' space, and even banter and converse if the situation called for it.

Physical

Appearance: Lovell stands at just over 6' tall with wide shoulders and a solid build from living in the backcountry all of his life. His face is relatively square but rounds out at his chin. His eyes generally squint as though he is focusing on something off in the distance, but you can still make out pleasantly soft green eyes; in the dark when he is focused and the light shines right, his eyes glow a luminescent yellow. His nose is broad and crooked with an arch just under the bridge. He has a head full of thick, coarse brown hair that is a few inches in length and is either brushed back or kept under a hat. While in his wolf form, Lovell becomes visibly larger, mostly across his shoulders and muscle size on his arms and legs. Another side effect is that his hair becomes more coarse and spreads across much of his body though not as completely as a full werewolf; areas most effected include his face, his arms, his feet, and his chest.

Personality: Lovell could most easily be described as rough around the edges. He greatly prefers spending his time hunting on his own, or with a select few others that he does not mind calling his friends. Off the cuff, he is gruff and errs towards irritable, but once you get to know him better, while still very gruff, also can be kind in his own way.

Magical Item: Lovell doesn't use magic.
Magical Outfit: An unbuttoned, green flannel shirt over top of a gray t-shirt, and a pair of faded denim jeans with a pair of old leather hiking boots.
Familiar: Sometimes goes hunting with the family dog, Duke.

Inventory:

An old scoped Remington hunting rifle that Lovell got from his father.
