General
Name:Ashlan Flagg
Gender:Male
Age:39
Species: Shifter
Family: Deanon
Appearance
Eye Color:Grey blue with orange around the pupil
Hair Color:Dark brown, turning white at the temples and through his goatee. His hair is long and always tied into a ponytail.
Height:5'11"
Build:Broad shoulders and chest, and although he is thicker than he would like around the middle, he gives the impression of great strength even when standing still.
Scars/Markings/Tattoos:He has a scar accross the bridge of his nose and various tattoos on his upper arms and back, all nature related.
Predominant Feature: His short white goatee with a stripe of dark brown down the middle, long greying hair and the quizzical yet clinical look that crosses his features set him apart from the casual passer by.
Skin Quality: No blemishes are seen across his pale face, just a small scar or two by his lip and accross the bridge of his nose.
General Appearance: He stands confidently, his head always raised, never looking down at his feet. He always carries a primitive cane that he leans on lightly when at rest. He has a limp that is almost unnoticable except when it rains. Only then does he lean more heavily on the knotty cane at his side. His movements are generally slow but purposeful. Every move is intentional, nothing wasted.
His eyes are what most notice first as he always makes full eye contact and rarely breaks it. His eyebrows are dark and expressive above the scar that crosses the bridge of his nose. His lip frequently curls up into a one sided smile. This is not a smile of happiness but one of thoughtfulness. It shows that he is deep in thought, analyzing the situation. He almost never laughs, and a chuckle is indicitive of deep amusement.
Despite his slight infirmity, he gives the impression of strength, like a tree he would be immovable. Along with that he practically radiates a stillness, not one of inactivity but of waiting.
He would be considered attractive by human standards, unique, but attractive.
Animal
Species:Kodiak Bear
Unnatural Attributes: None. Really good at catching fish though
General Appearance: His animal form is a full grown 1800lb, 9 foot tall kodiak bear. His fur is dark brown with white accross the hump of his back and in his muzzle. A white scar runs beneath the fur across the bridge between his eyes. His eyes shine with animal intelligence and seem rather curious about everything. There is no sign of the limp he exhibits as a human.
Personality
Likes:Fish and seafood of any sort. He enjoys quiet and listening to others speak about themselves.
Dislikes:Other males, human or otherwise. He finds them to be childish and boring. They have no inner stillness and use brash talk to protect their egos.
Influences: Thunderstorms. They store up energy until it is their time to release it, then all bets are off.
Goals:To find out where he really fits. To be respected. To be loved and feared in equal measure.
Strengths: His stillness lets him learn what he needs to in order to get what he wants and his patience lets him use his energies when and where they would be most effective.
Flaws: He hates aspects of his human form, disgusted by his own weakness. The limp that he barely shows keeps him in a constant state of pain and his pride keeps him from doing anything about it.
Habits:He spends at least a couple of hours a day in his animal form and usually sleeps in it to dull the pain of his human wounds. He loves to sit by a fire and does so almost nightly as he meditates on what he learned that day.
General Personality:Quiet and reserved most of the time, but when he is passionate about something and it is within his grasp he does not hesitate. He understands above all things, the importance of timing.
Family
Father:No memory
Mother:He remembers having a bear for a mother.
Siblings:There was a bear he thought of as his sibling. He killed her when mothers milk was trickling off.
Lover:None.
Other Family:None.
Close Friends:None yet.
Background
General History:
For Ashlan, the change came early, well before puberty. He left his human home accidentally at age three, a toddler in the woods who found a great female bear hibernating. He lay down beside her and her newborn cub for warmth and suckled for the only sustenance he could find. He had changed for the first time by the end of winter. His childhood was spent in a bear form, living in the woods, sleeping through the winter after fattening up on the organs and brains of salmon. He had almost completely forgotten what it was to be human. At 16 he was found by another shapeshifter, a bear like himself. She taunted him in human form, reverting quickly to her bear shape when he charged. She did this over and over until he finally reverted to a human form. From her he learned human speech again as well as human custom.
Then he relearned human emotion.
That was why she died.
