*Character Name(s): Timothy "Bowtie" Wolf. IC: either "Bowtie" or "Blackwolf"
*Race/Species: werewolf
*Gender: Male
Actual Character Age: 30
Home Territory: Originally: Raleigh, North Carolina; formerly: The planet of Kaerwyn.
Height: 5'9" / 6'4"
Weight: 210 lbs / 260 lbs.
Physical Build:
Human: drakkolupen.com/stuff/bow.jpg
Anthro Wolf: About 1.5 times more massive than his human form. Best described as, simply, "large" all around. Not *huge,* just .. large. Has thick, stocky appendages, all the basic "bumps" are there. Definitely the build of a healthy .. person .. that works out at the gym regularily. Not a bodybuilder; but some steps below that. Some definition can be seen through the fur over most of his body. Looks as well defined as fur will allow when tense. Again, the "bumps" are all there, but serious definition is lost to the thickness of the fur.
*Physical Description:
Human: drakkolupen.com/stuff/bow.jpg - the only difference is, of course, the clothing, and the portions of his goatee between the moustache and the lower chin "ruff" have been shaved off.
Anthro wolf: Black fur. Digitigrade, is capable of bipedal and quadrapedal locomotion. A small tinge of white on his chin and under the nose; will grow wider with age. Looks almost like somebody hit him square in the mouth with a snowball. A small "line" of white on his chest, below the neck. Kaerwyn has afforded him the build of a person who does quite a bit of manual labor or regular exercise, his shapeshifting allowed him the ability of looking like he's seen himself in his dreams. Arrives in blue jeans, a black T-shirt, a black leather trench, and black leather "booties" designed specifically to fit and support digitigrade movement. The only jewelry he wears is a pure silver ring, wide band, with wolf-paw prints engraved in black along it. The ring can't change shapes with him, so it's hung on a silver necklace around his neck at all times.
Personal Information/History/Background: Born in 1976, he was separated from his birth parents for unknown reasons and adopted later in the same month of his birth. Grew up in a town of 5000 people called Ironwood, Michigan. Missed out on a lot of the rest of the world until he graduated high school, got through with two initial years of college, and moved to Houghton, Michigan, where he attended Michigan Technological University in the interest of gaining a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering. Plans cut short by the untimely death of his mother in 1997, just before final exams. His life changed significantly just before and during this time, as since 1996, he had considered himself a therianthrope after digesting a great deal of information about the subject, and realizing that the experiences of other therianthropes matched what he felt to be true about himself for as long as he could remember. In 1997, after leaving school, he travelled to North Carolina in order to meet a young woman named "Jakkal" at something called the NC Howl, for therianthropes. After one week there, he travelled back to Raleigh with Jakkal, and proceeded to spend the next month with her, travelling up the eastern seaboard. They split ways in Pennsylvania, where, upon seeing Jakkal drive away, he realized that he had fallen in love with her. Went back to MTU that September, only to find that his entire core cirriculum had changed, eliminating the need for several classes which he was having difficulty in, anyway. This angered him, and he decided that he had enough of college, as he wanted to develop his newly formed relationship with Jakkal. Moved to North Carolina in October, lived there with Jakkal for years. Got a job "running drugs." That's about it. Overall a boringly interesting life. That is, until he was sucked through a rift and arrived on the planet Kaerwyn, in a universe and plane of existance far beyond his original. Kaerwyn, a planet of seemingly endless magic, had only a small population, consisting entirely of people from other universes. He lived there for about one year, surviving several smaller and larger catastrophes. Kaerwyn, being full of werewolves, allowed him the ability to research and eventually gain the physical form that has plagued his every waking moment for as long as he can remember. Ultimately he achieved this goal unintentionally. He originally had a magical shapeshifting potion created by a prominent vendor on Kaerwyn, but failed to change back after the potion wore off. A "demon" known as Ardrah had given him the "gift" of remaining how he was, at a price, of course. The contract that Bow was placed under had to have been agreed on by both parties. Bow never agreed. Thus, the contract was broken, however, he was not changed back into a human. He continued living out his life as a non-shifting anthro wolf until a rift opened under him on Kaerwyn, and sent him elsewhere.
Personal interests: Computers .. more for use rather than power. The internet; he ran an IRC network and is a relatively prominent individual in the therianthropy community. Cars; he has had probably two cars for each year he's been alive. He has been working on them since he was 4 years old; where he helped his dad do oil changes and tuneups on their 1969 Camaro. He had five cars of his own on Earth. Only one came with him to Kaerwyn. Problem solving. If he thinks he has information that can help solve a problem, he'll sometimes butt in and use it. MacGuyver-esque. Noteworthy fact: He has NO luck at all. That's to say he has neither good, nor bad luck. Seems to have an uncanny aura which attracts balance; if something good happens to him, something bad often follows .. or vice versa.
* How they got to NYC: A rift transported him from Kaerwyn to that world.
*Magical Abilities: None.
*Repercussions and Limits for Magical usage and shapeshifting usage: Slightly winded, or tired, after a shift. Takes a few moments to get his strength back up.
*Number and Description of Weaponry and Training: One pocket knife. No professional training in how to use it. Can handle it effectively enough to be a nuisance, but he's more likely to use teeth first. Or his gun, a Fabrique Nationale Five-seveN, which he carries as a sidearm. He has practiced with this weapon on Kaerwyn, and has become a fairly proficient marksman .. provided the object is standing still or moving slowly. The gun contains one clip of 25 rounds, alternating between standard hollow point lead, and hollow point silver to deal with the werewolves. Bow also carries a spare clip of 25 rounds, loaded similarily.
* Useful Trinkets or Items: That spare clip and knife, of course, as well as a watch, his wallet containing ID and credits, all legal for the location and year. A leg-mount holster for the 5-7 and spare clip.
Vehicle: None.
*Special Skills: Natural aptitude at driving. Also good at repairing what he drives, provided it's circa 2000 or older. If it's mechanical, he may be able to figure it out after enough time. Jack of all trades, master of none, as it were. Has an almost MacGuyver ability to halfassedly fix problems.
Character's Career: Driver; formerly ran drugs to old peeps. On Kaerwyn, he made a business out of this skill and his truck, hauling dirt, building supplies, and other assorted materials.
Fav. Saying/Quote: None, really.
Preferred Food: Fontecchio's Liberty Bell Chalet pizza and Caesar salad. Pasties. Anything his mate makes for him. MEAT.

***********************
Stats:
Intelligence: 5.2/5.2; Often seems dense or thickheaded, but is capable of bringing to bear some good street smarts when necessary. Also capable of pulling MacGyverisms. Given brief lessons on subjects that interest him, often anything mechanical, he can learn a lot in a short time. Was taught mathematics to Differential Equations levels, as well as some Electrical Engineering lessons during his 3 years in college, but that was over 10 years ago.
Intuition: 6/6; Once he gets to know somebody, he seems able to pick out things about their emotional state, stance, etecetera. Is very aware of natural canine behavioral traits. The problem with this is his thickheadedness or stubbornness; as when he thinks he's right, it takes fact to prove him wrong.
Willpower: 7.7/7.7; This is mostly due to his experiences on Kaerwyn, which tend to break people down. Most specifically, he was forced out of his own body, and forced to exist as a soul only on an alternate world for approximately one month.
Agility: 5.5/6.4; He really can't be measured by the scale as listed in the S4 details post. He is clumsy when he's not paying attention, such as when moving around rapidly, or moving with objects in hand, or running blind, as it were. However, his body is capable of moving as quickly and efficiently as he needs it to, to the point of being able to grab an arm reaching quickly for him, depending on who the arm belongs to. So his "natural" agility is high, but this doesn't prevent him from simply not noticing things, and causing him to be clumsy.
Strength: 5.2/6.7; He has over 2 times the strength of a human proportionally similar to himself, as is typical of most natural animals. His jaws are much more like those of a wolf, capable of bringing down bone-crushing force on an object.
Endurance: 5/6.5; As with his strength, his endurance has received a large boost, and he is capable of greater physical activity over a longer period of time than a normal human would be. However, his mental endurance does not match his physical endurance, and unless concentration is life-and-death necessary, he quickly tires of mundane tasks.
Speed: 5/7; Capable of moving in a quadruped stance.
