Lyrs

Human

He is human but only in appearance; the shape of one makes it easier to blend in and to get in touch with his civilized side. He's a Caucasian human male of not-quite six feet - five-foot ten-inches seems about right - of average build. He's not muscular but looks sturdy; he's not fat, but there is a pleasant roundness of his features consistent with someone that perhaps indulges himself a little more often than he should. His skin is fair and freckled with a few scars on his hands and forearms consistent with someone who's handled animals, gotten into scrapes, or just worked around rough materials. Outwardly, he's a solid example of a Western/European human male.

Judging by his face, this man is in his mid-20s or early 30s. His hair is shoulder length, brown and straight without any particular adornments. He has a beard, moustache and sideburns of the same color save for occasional flecks of bright red; he keeps these short and neatly trimmed. His eyes are bright blue behind a set of plain, steel-rimmed rectangular glasses. There is a red tattoo in the shape of a claw scar over the man's right eye, running from just above his slender eyebrow to the middle of his cheek.
This man's attire blends a bit of modern and archaic. He wears a black, baggy t-shirt that must be a favorite due to how well its been worn and how frayed the lower hem is; on the front is a faded image of human skull formed of runic characters in carefully arranged patterns. Over the shirt he wears a functional black leather vest with deep, loose pockets and equipment webbing. A thick leather dog collar with double rows of steel studs circles his neck; instead of tags dangling from the D-ring at the front, an ornate silver paw - bestial with long claws but humanoid in construction - clutches a green crystal sphere that glows softly in darkness. Around the man's left wrist is a steel cuff made of a single, unbroken band of metal bearing a number of shallowly etched runic characters on the top.

A pair of knee-length, baggy black jean shorts clad the man's lower half; he wears a plain, braided leather belt to keep it up, but this is usually hidden by the drape of his shirt's hem. In addition to the deep cargo-style pockets of his shorts there hangs from his belt a pair of leather pouches that appear to be handmade with leather cord stitching and simple bone-fixed clasps. He wears gray socks of a typical mass-produced variety underneath a pair of thick-soled, knee-length boots with thick soles and more than a few ornamental buckles. The boots push his apparent height over six feet by a very slim margin but are otherwise typical of gothic stompy standards.




Werewolf

This fearsome creature blends man and beast (wolf, if one wants to be specific) in one elegant package. Standing on his hind legs he pushes twelve feet tall, but walking on all fours his shoulders barely crest six feet. To shift easily between bipedal and quadrupedal movement, his arms are longer than his proportions would suggest. His build is muscular, but the lines of those muscles are largely muted by the covering of thick black fur over the whole of his body with nary a bald patch or bit of bare flesh to be seen. One might estimate his weight around seven or eight hundred pounds.

The beast's head is very wolf-like, largely indistinct from that of a common black wolf save for its size and the muscular neck that connects it to his broad shoulders. His eyes are bright blue but otherwise look no different from those of common wolves. A red slash mark has been dyed over his right eye from brow to cheek. A long, loose mane of tough black fur hangs about his shoulders and extends between his shoulder blades before terminating midway down his back. The shape of his pectoral muscles is vaguely apparent through the dark fur of his chest; the same can be said of the muscles of his arms before the fur about his forearms turns shaggy. His paws possess much shorter fur than his forearms, pads on the inside of his fingers and palms, and long, curved claws the color of gold.

If there is an abnormality about this creature, its his midsection. While his body is (on the whole) quite muscular, his belly is distinctly chubby. It's not fat, just notably plump and round with modest love handles at his flanks. This rides above a powerful set of hips joined to suitably proportioned buttocks; above these a lush wolfish tail emerges from the base of his spine to help maintain his balance while in motion. His legs are powerfully muscled like his arms, but smoothed from fat nearer to his hips before reaching the knee joint, and of digitigrade construction. His paws are heavy and broad from bearing his weight with claws of similar appearance to those on his hands, albeit blunter and broader.




Wolf

There stands before you a large specimen of gray wolf, easily six feet long from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail and about three feet high at the shoulder. Although of a powerful build, his belly is plumpish and rounded, not the lean look most wild wolves possess. His fur is dark gray but bears notable streaks of red that, at first, appear like stains of blood until closer inspection. His yellow eyes bear a look of intelligence beyond those of wild beasts, and there is a sense of calculation in them. The wolf's paws have blunt golden claws on them instead of more traditional black ones. He is also and obviously male, though he makes no special effort to display or hide this fact.



Alternate: Furry (For Furry-Only scenarios)

The term "average wolf" best describes this fellow. He's a black-furred wolf male of not-quite six feet - five-foot ten-inches seems about right - of average build. He's not muscular but looks sturdy; he's not fat, but there is a pleasant roundness of his features consistent with someone that perhaps indulges himself a little more often than he should. He's a perfectly good example of a perfectly average wolf.

A pair of knee-length, baggy black jean shorts clad the man's lower half; he wears a plain, braided leather belt to keep it up, but this is usually hidden by the drape of his shirt's hem. Both the shorts and the belt have accommodations for the wolf's long dark tail that emerges from the base of his spine. In addition to the deep cargo-style pockets of his shorts there hangs from his belt a pair of leather pouches that appear to be handmade with leather cord stitching and simple bone-fixed clasps.
