not here, not here, heroic acts of man
summary
(Light Arcane spoilers in this section)
Original appearance. Tall (6'6"), broad/muscular, dad bod, brown hair, blue eyes, greying beard.
I am drawing heavy inspiration for Vander's soul type from Warwick, the wolf-beast he is morphed into through heavy science/medical experiments in the show after his death. ref, ref, ref, without the metal/green parts. Warwick is full of animalistic rage and bloodlust, so do be wary of interacting with Vander at full-shift. I'll always try to check in OOC in terms of physical injury/death, but he is very strong and can probably kill your character unless they're also incredibly strong or undead, so please be aware of that!

shift info/powers
Half-shifted: Around 7 feet tall, larger hands with longer sharply-clawed fingers, longer arms and bigger shoulders, some grey fur contouring his face and body. His teeth become more numerous, long, and big, and his canine teeth stick out as fangs. Legs become digitigrade. Long fluffy grey tail. He's growly and more easily agitated.
Full shift: See image references above, but a little less gorilla-esque in stature, more balanced proportions between top and bottom half. Eyes glow red. Extreme rage & violence unless he encounters someone he cares deeply for and they manage to calm him. Otherwise he's out for blood.
Powers while shifted:
Super strength
Magical roar that causes fear and disorientation
High pain tolerance
Regeneration/fast healing of wounds
Extremely keen sense of smell, especially for blood
Good hearing
Tough skin/hide
Weaknesses:
Low endurance
Silver
Low energy/mood at start of moon cycle
Low dexterity

corruption log
May 2025: Full-shifted more than once this month, so by the end of the month his fingernails and toenails are thickening and sharpening, as are his teeth. Grey fur begins to grow in his beard and near his hairline. The other hair on his body starts to thicken a bit. He is hungrier than usual (and he usually eats a lot anyway), especially for meat. Still at his starting height of 6'6".
June 2025: Growing pains begin. Sore muscles often feel like he went too hard at the gym yesterday, as they grow bigger, and deep aches as his bones lengthen. Similar aching and soreness in his hands and mouth. Hands become even more leathery than usual, nail beds and gums crack and bleed as teeth and claws grow. More thickening body hair, parts of his beard and hairline tufting into fur. Grows an inch this month, 6'7".
July 2025: It's Tail Time™. Sitting won't be the most comfortable this month as his tailbone grows long. Someone please help this man with clothing- everything he buys gets ripped apart or grown out of and now his tail won't fit. His canine teeth will be big enough to see the tips of them when his mouth is closed. More fur, everywhere. More muscle and bone pain as he grows even more. 6'8" by the end of this month. Higher sex drive.

mental changes
Current:
• Increased hunger for RAW meat
• Pack mentality- us vs. them (them being Patho-Gen), desire to form alliances, find family, adopt strays
• Increased sense of loyalty to those he knows from his past, or those he's bonded with here
• Higher libido/sex drive
• Prey drive- distracted by quick movements, urge to chase things
Future:
• Territorial- As he becomes attached to his home, his workplace, his physical community, and those in it, he will become extremely protective of those things and aggressive when they're threatened. As Warwick (shifted form) becomes attached to those in game, he will also be protective of them
• Scent marking will manifest as nuzzling those he's very close with, or giving away pieces of clothing that have his scent. May get an urge to "claim" people as his own, symbolically (platonic) or by marking (sexual)
• Will become more obedient toward those he trusts highly. More willing to perform tasks for them without questioning them
• RAGE... Warwick's rage and bloodlust will bleed into him over time. Usually manifesting as protective rage but sometimes too much/hard to cope with, he will need to find an outlet.

job & relationships
Working part time at Cherry's club in Gloria. Helping Tifa (funded by Gojo) to cook and distribute free meals to lower classes using the bar kitchen. Helping on Konoha's farm on a volunteer basis a day or two a week. Generally hanging out in Gloria, East Sophia, and poorer neighbourhoods and bars. Still living at the Valentia for the time being but would like to move out ASAP as he does not fit on the bed and sleeps on the floor.
