Megussu

Appearance

Megussu is a roughed up, shaggy haired werewolf from the mountains. In all his forms, thick, untamed black hair conceals his blind, glassy eyes. Aside from his matted and unkempt hair and beard, his dark olive skin and tall stature (standing at 6'2 when human) adds to his mysterious character. His mature looking face and scarred body makes him appear much older than his twenty-nine years.

 Personality 

Megussu is a very curious person, always wondering what people are talking about, what's on the other side of that door, what is that peculiar smelling object, and should he eat it? He has a few habits and nervous tics that make him stand out from a crowd: if he gets nervous, he howls compulsively and if he is aroused(by the scent and touch of a woman), he will transform and become more wolflike. These habits combined with his curious nature can lead to some awkward social situations. He has an intense phobia of water due to almost drowning on several occasions during his childhood training; he cannot even remember when it first happened. Though he prefers meat, he cannot always catch it, and so he has learnt to scrounge together what he can. He will eat anything.

 History 

When he was born, Megussu already showed signs of impaired vision; he could never quite focus on what was in front of him; but it wasn't until his fourth year that he lost his vision completely. When his pack realized that they had a Metis amongst them, the pup was abandoned by his parents and the pack left him for dead. Covered in tears and snot, the young pup was found by a lone wolf known as Desna. She called herself a Bone Gnawer, a werewolf that relies on scavenging to survive.

Desna trained Megussu to survive in a harsh environment despite his disability, putting him through rigorous tests and challenges. It was some of these trials that caused Megussu's crippling fear of water. She taught him the importance of his bond with Gaia, the spirits of nature, and his Totem; as well as how to control his transformation. One thing she did not teach him was the rules of society and how to blend in with humans. She only knew the wilderness. Though Desna acted as Megussu's mother figure, there was not much contact between the two during training, they barely spoke unless it was about food or new skills. Nevertheless, there was a strong bond of mutual trust and respect between them.

When Megussu turned sixteen, Desna sent him on his way into the mountains to fend for himself. The thirteen years of hunting, self development and seclusion since then allowed him to hone his control of his transformation and continue building his bond with his Totem. Naturally curious, Megussu eventually left the mountains and started to make his way towards civilization, a new and interesting frontier.
