ADDITIONAL INFO:
About the world:
- an almost mirror of our normal every day Earth, only with magical creatures roaming it. Wizards, Vampires, Werewolves, Demons, and Fae make up the biggest races represented. They live in a world just hidden from normal humans, in every shadow and dark alleyway.
- There is another world, though, one that can be accessed through portals found throughout the world - think the upside down in Stranger Things, where things are reversed. Humankind is in slavery and magic rules the world; it’s a very medieval type of world, where technology hasn’t had a chance to advance due to magic being predominant.
About Jaden:
- Absolutely normal life, knows nothing of the underworld of magic and demons. Born and bred in Boston, Mass.
- At 15, he's a popular kid on the edge of a growth spurt, with well-off parents and a tiny brother that worships the ground he walks on. A football player with aspirations to play varsity. A bunch of friends. Average grades and attendance.
- One November night, Jaden comes home from a house party to a scene straight out of a horror movie. Blood everywhere, painting the walls. He has to take in the sight of his parents and brother, chests open, their hearts missing.
- He stops going to school.
- Some of his family members do try to get in touch with him; an uncle in Seattle, mainly, but Jaden evades all contact attempts, and his nomadic new life keeps him from being easily reachable. He only wishes to be alone.
- He's attacked by werewolves on the verge of his sixteenth birthday. They want him dead. It's a group of wolves - what are wolves doing in the city? - and they're merciless, clawing and biting at Jaden for what feels like forever but is really only seconds.
- They leave Jaden for dead, even though he isn’t - one of the werewolves’ bite was exactly what was necessary to turn him into one of them.
- He wakes up in the hospital and breaks out of it when he realizes he’s entirely healed - only scars reminding him of the ordeal. He knows it’s not normal.
- His world opens up. He discovers magic, werewolves, vampires, all of it is real. He meets an Imp that guides him through this new world he has to learn how to navigate - after playing a few shitty pranks on him
- He starts taking on odd little jobs to keep himself alive, surviving at any cost. He becomes a bit of a bounty hunter, and also kind of a vigilante; he wants to keep the world safe, since he couldn’t do it with his family.
- He gets a very large, extensive tattoo all over the scars left behind by the werewolf attack. It’s done by a shady shady man in a shady shady shop and it costs him a pretty penny, but Jaden considers it like armor.
- His main goal in life is revenge - on whoever took his family away from him, and why.
-Jaden’s morality compass points towards Good, generally. He was raised right, after all, and most of the things his parents taught him - compassion, manners, honesty, bravery - he has retained. But his few years in a darker place have also taught him that the world is far from being as black and white as he used to think, and he has come to terms with his own violence. He wouldn’t hesitate to kill if the situation required it, but said situation would have to be very extreme, and the fact would haunt him afterwards.
POWERS:
Wolf shift { Primary power. Werewolves can physically transform into wolves. Typically, the full moon forces a shift, but Jaden can also shift at will outside of the moon phases.
Physical enhancements { In both human and wolf forms, werewolves have enhanced regeneration, strength, speed, and senses, though these are typically more powerful when they shift. They have permanent nightvision, ultrasonic hearing, the capacity to track by scent, and usually heal without a scar. It takes considerably more to get them drunk, high, or tired than a typical human. On average, they eat more than other individuals their size and age.
Infectious scratch/bite { Some werewolves are born, others are infected by injuries from another wolf. The chances of an infection vary depending on the phase of moon, whether the werewolf was shifted, the intention of the werewolf, the age/control/power of the werewolf, and the number and severity of bites and scratches.
