BASIC INFORMATION

Full name: Wolfram Hart
Nickname(s) or Alias: "The Hammer"
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Height: 6' 5"
Race: Werewolf
Nationality: Adelan
Residence: Anville, Draconi Forest
Occupation: Blacksmith


PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Between naturally being tall and years of working a forge, Wolfram is a fairly large individual. His muscles aren't necessarily bulky or bulging, but they are well sculpted and defined. Should you chance to touch him his body is like steel covered in a thin layer of flesh.  His skin is a very rich golden bronze, deeply tanned and almost the color of caramel and slightly rough, while his large hands are covered in callouses from gripping tools all day.

Wolfram has coal black hair except for a two-inch stripe of steel grey that begins at the crown of his head and travels in a straight line to end at the hairline above his left temple. He keeps his hair short and somewhat spiky, as it is naturally slightly coarse in texture. Much like that streak of grey, his eyes are naturally a stormy shade of mercury.

Leathers are the preferred clothing material for Wolfram, simple trousers and boots are his key staples, as when he works the forge he forgoes a shirt and only wears a heavy leather blacksmith's apron for protection. If he does venture beyond his work into town to interact with his neighbors beyond work, he will throw on a leather jerkin, but still prefers to go without a linen shirt underneath. He doesn't have any jewelry, piercings, tattoos, or notable scars.

As a wolf he is very large and powerful, and his stormy grey eyes do not change. His fur is thick and slightly coarse, coloring on the greyscale, with his back being black and gradually fading until you reach the tips of his muzzle, toes, and tail, which are white.


PERSONALITY

Growing up the runt in a family of wolves can harden a person. Having to fight for everything in such a setting, Wolfram can come off as a little aggressive. That isn't to say he's mean-spirited, but he's blunt and is not afraid to pursue the things that he wants in life. Some have called him a shrewd businessman, but that comes more from the fact that he is stubborn and cannot be bullied, intimidated, or swindled by slick-talking hagglers.

He does not back down from anything. Wolfram has a youthful rashness, causing him to take risks and be reckless at times. This has caused him to have to nurse more than one injury while out hunting, or when wrestling with his older siblings in his pup years. Despite five years in Anville, he has not made real friends among the local humans. He knows them, and they know him, but aside from a casual acquaintanceship from being a member of the community he tends to be standoffish with his neighbors.

Being a young lone wolf that has not found a mate or started a family this leaves Wolfram rather lonely, and the humans around him cannot provide the type of companionship that he really needs.

SKILLS

Wolfram has some fairly typical werewolf abilities; heightened speed, strength, senses, and reflexes as well as accelerated healing and decelerated aging. Obviously he has the ability to shape-shift into a wolf and also a hybrid form.  He's got some typical weaknesses as well, such as silver and wolfs bane.


BACKSTORY

Wolfram was the last born, and sort of the runt, of his family. Both of his parents were werewolves, his three older brothers and two older sisters were born werewolves, and his aunts, uncles, and cousins are all werewolves. The Hart family has lived for generations among humans spread out across Adela, going about relatively normal lives aside from the ability to turn into wolves and all the benefits and downfalls that come with it.

While small as a child, Wolfram managed to be taken under the arm of the local blacksmith to learn a trade that could support him and a future family. It was hard, exhaustive work, but he took to it with vigor and passion. Starting as the runt, he did not stay that way. At puberty Wolfram hit several substantial growth spurts. While not the largest member of his family, he is no longer even close to being the smallest.

At age sixteen he had learned enough to be considered an adult and capable of caring for himself, like his older brothers before him, he was expected to leave home, branch out, and get territory of his own. After all, too high of a concentration of wolves living in one area would drain the game populations and also arouse suspicion from humans. Wolfram ended up settling in a small town nestled among the dense trees of Draconi Forest called Anville.

When he was seventeen there was some trouble with bandits harassing the locals, but the thugs were quickly discouraged from their pursuit when Wolfram took his blacksmith's hammer to a band of them that tried to set his forge on fire when he refused to pay their "protection fee".  This act earned him the nickname "The Hammer", making him Wolfram "The Hammer" Hart, also "THE HAMMER OF ANVILLE".

FAMILY, FRIENDS AND FOES

Wolfram is from a pretty large family of werewolves, but they are spread out and he doesn't have much to do with any of them anymore. He's a lone wolf.
