------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personality: Kegan is usually self kept. Having been shunned most of his life, he feel little connection to the human world. However, if his friendship is gained, he is fiercely loyal, willing to take on anyone or anything to protect those he cares for.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
History: Kegan Dwyre was born like any other child, with one exception. Both of his parents were afflicted with Lycanthropy. When Kegan was born, the "curse" was passed on to him. For the first few years of his life, everything was normal. He a loving family who cared very much for him. Though he didn't have any friends, as his appearance turned the other kids away from him, he was generally happy, as his parents love kept him content.
When a child is born with the "curse," they tend to lack control over their changes. Around eight or nine, they begin to change based on emotion, and on instinct. The full moon triggers the change, and before they gain the necessary control they are wild, and hard to tame, almost like a caged animal. His parents did the best they could to hide him at these times, knowing what trigged the changes, and bringing him inside. The village just assumed he was sickly, and thought nothing of it.
This good fortune only lasted so long. Kegan had started learning, thanks to his parents, how to control the changes. These lessons included changing at will between forms, and preventing a change trigged by the moon and emotions, thus enabling complete control over the affliction. His lessons were still incomplete the day he had gotten bullied by three of the larger children of the village. They had been calling him names and poking fun at the way he looked.
It happened without warning. The three bullies eyes grew wide as they stood there frozen in fear. Kegan had changed. White fur covered his body. As he stood on his hind legs, he gave a howl and a snarl. He stood hunched, glaring at the three boys. The screamed and ran. Kegan had realized what he had done. He ran off, hoping to change back without noticing. He returned to the village after just a short while, only to find the every family at his parents door. They held pitchforks and torches. His parents were ordered to leave, their "cursed" blood was unwelcome.
They left, but just as they began to pack their things, one of the panicked villagers shouted. "We can't let these monsters roam free." Right in front of Kegan, his parents were burned alive. He screamed, and drew attention to himself. He was chased for a good while. Kegan shifted to his full wolf form, and managed to outrun the villagers.
Kegan was forced to fend for himself. He learned to bond with the forest, as he was welcomed without question. The trees did not judge, the animals unconcerned with his affliction. The more he bonded, the more he began becoming attune with his surroundings. Through this bond, he began to develop the ability to move the very earth around him, effectively bending it to his will. Through feeling mixed with motion, the earth responded. The burning desire within him also lead to the development of another ability. The fire fueled by his rage could manifest itself, also through controlled movement. He was able to create and control the fire around him.
He has been living in the forest ever since, developing his abilities, and protecting the area. He loved the forest, and refused to allow something else he loved be harmed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Style: Fire/Earth Bending
Through feeling and movement, these two elements can be bent to Kegan's will. However, it is to be noted that he can ONLY bend in his human form. Once he transforms into either the hybrid form or full wolf, he looses the ability to bend. The reason for this is unknown.
Fire Bending: The movements are quick, and fierce. He can generate small burst of flame from his hands and feet, as well cause existing fires to grow or shrink in size. He can control there movement through the air as well, creating a beautiful light show, or a dangerous, controlled projectile. If he wishes, he can form small weapons to be formed out of the flame. Though he has practiced this move, he choses not to use it very often.
Earth Bending: The surrounding landscape can be moved by strong, calm movements. Sections of the ground can be lifted and flung at a target by, seemingly, invisible force. The ground can be shaped to his liking, forming shelter and anything else Kegan finds necessary.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strengths:
Physical - Kegan, while human, possesses average human strength. However, once in Hybrid form, his strength increases, as does his speed. He is quick to think during a fight, and even faster on the attack. Having lived in the forest for a good portion of his life, if someone were foolish enough to attack him there, he would have them at a severe disadvantage, as he knows his home better than any traveler could hope to. As a natural Lycan, he is immune to most diseases, and he is relatively hard to actually kill. He can see quite well in the dark, and his senses are all enhances, even in his human form.
Mental - Kegan had a deep understanding for the connection of life among all creatures. He can feel the pain of a dying animal, or a chopped tree. He is sympathetic to these, and a genuinely kind soul.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weaknesses:
Physical - As a Lycan, he suffers from the same weaknesses all of them do. Silver is like poison to his blood. If stabbed with a silver blade, or shot with a silver-tipped arrow, the object with need to be removed. While the silver remains inside of him, he quickly becomes weak, and if not removed within a certain degree of time (depending upon the size of the object) he will die. He also is weak to the effects of fire, though he has managed to alleviate some of this weakness thanks to his talent for Fire Bending.
Mental - Kegan is slow to trust, thanks to the attack on his family. He feels that most if not all humans are judgmental, selfish, and heartless. Not just humans, but most humanoid creatures as well. Since the loss of his family, he has had little contact with other humanoids in a pleasant manner. He usually has to scare them from his home, or deals with merchants, using the money he takes from those who would harm his forest to buy only that which he finds he needs (clothes, for instance).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spell List:
Bending doesn't use spells, but rather techniques. Through various moves, the two element of Fire and Earth can be bent to Kegan's will. The following are a few of those techniques:
Fire Bending:
Fire Burst - Just as it sounds... a quick burst of flame fires forth form his hands or feet when and if he chooses so while attacking. This can also be used to create a small camp fire.
Fire Breath - Similar to the fire burst, but requiring much more control. The temperature of his breath can be increased. This can be used to heat water, or to breathe fire. The latter would be just like the fire burst, but generating from within the mouth rather than the hands and feet.
Controlling the flame - This is the most important technique. With this, the fire's size, shape, and direction can be controlled. he can make a ball of flame fly through the air where ever he pleases. He could cause a campfire to grow to enormous size, or extinguish it all together. The most useful, in Kegan's opinion, of all his techniques in fire bending.
Fire Daggers/Sword - The weapon is formed out of fire, and functions like a regular sword/dagger, save for the fact that it burns what it touches. Also, being made of flame, it cannot parry or be parried. Kegan rarely uses this ability, as he finds it to be neat, but does not fit with his style.
Earth Bending:
Earth Strike - By stomping the ground, a boulder rises up in front of Kegan. Depending on the power of the stomp will determine the size of the boulder... the harder the stop, the larger the rock. After the boulder is up, a simple kick from behind sends it to its target in a straight line. The foot never had to touch the stone itself, as the will of the bender is all that is needed.
Controlling the Earth - This is the technique that allows Kegan to do just about all he can and needs to do with the earth. He can form shelter, case the ground to tremor underneath someone, even cause rock to become sand, or the reverse. He can mold the earth to be what he needs it to be, when he needs it.
All of the above take concentration. If it is simple (like fire burst) it requires little. However, the more difficult the technique, the more concentration and will power it takes. This can and will cause Kegan to become tired if he is forced to bend for extended period of time.
Due to a twist of fate, Kegan realized his inner potential. He was not a bender. By tapping into his power, he was thought to posses bending. Thanks to an encounter with a Soul Flayer, and a visit from the spirit of his mother, Kegan has realized his true potential. He is a spell wolf, a rare form of lycan. They can cast magic in any form, though the spells vary depending on the persons inner soul. Kegan, having a strong will and passion, is able to use certain fire magic. Being in tune with nature various Earth magics are at his disposal. Thanks to his now pure and unburdened heart, he is able to tap into strong white magic.
(The updated list will be coming as soon as the encounter with the Soul Flayer ends.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weapons/Gear: Kegan carries no weapons. He uses his claws to attack when fighting, or simple punches, kicks, and bending.
Items: None at this time.
Note: Kegan wears a traveler's cloak with a hood, hiding his white hair.
