Character name: Vladmir Sokolov
Character source: Original (somewhat based off of Werewolf: The Awakening, history mostly, but not entirely, same as real world)
Character history:
Vladmir Sokolov was born in a small house in what was then the Soviet Union, in 1934. The son of two werebears, both hunters, his parents were proud of their heritage and powers. Vladmir was raised in the wilderness, far isolated from any bastions of civilisation, allowing him to develop his power greatly. His first change of form happened when he was 7, changing in his sleep into a bear, ravaging his bed and preparing to leave to hunt. His parents were able to subdue him, but they saw promise in his powerful form. They taught him how to control his ability, showing him each form he could turn into. Because of their secluded nature, as well as them being self-sufficient, Vladmir and his family were mostly unseen from the Russian government at the time, not wishing to get involved in anything to do with them. But with the war in full force, the country was being ravaged, the government constantly searching for more resources-including workers. Vladmir's family was to be put to work when he was 9, but just before they were, his parents managed to send Vladmir off, smuggled onto a ship heading to America. The boy, however, was too young to understand their reasoning, and was merely confused as to why they would send him away. There, he met up with a group of other werebears, almost just as he got to America. They knew his parents, and were prepared to take him in. And take him in they did. They raised him as their own, teaching him to live as a werebear in an urban location, showing him how to blend into human society. Vladmir's status as a Russian immigrant was often questioned by humans-and even some werebears-in his new home. Many claimed him to be a spy, sent by the Soviet Union. Vladmir knew nothing of these accusations-barely knew anything about where he was from. Yet they were given.
Growing up with the group of werebears, he learned many things, and he remained there even after he was grown, staying with the group for many years. He stayed, learning about the world there. Vladmir watched as men were launched into space, and as they made it onto the moon. He learned when a portable oven was invented. And yet, as interesting as it was, civilised society left him feeling...empty, somehow. At the age of 50 (still somewhat young, for a werebear) he decided to attempt a move to the Canadian wilderness, in the hopes that it would fill the void he had been feeling. And it seemed to work. There, he lived out the rest of his life in his world, hunting for food, disconnected from civilisation, with the exception of some other werebears he kept contact with. Until he was brought into the Omniverse, summoned into Camelot. There, he became interested in how the world worked, researching it by taking a job as a hunter, selling furs and meat. Whenever he had free time, he would research about the world, fascinated by the strange logic of how it worked. Recently, he found out about a group planning to meet Omni, and he jumped at the opportunity, ready to take on any challenge to learn about the world.
Appearance: Vladmir is a very short, muscular man. He stands at 160 centimetres tall, with a heavy body filled with muscle. Typically, his attire is a red flannel with blue jean pants, and brown boots, but he will sometimes deviate when necessary. He has long, brown hair with tints of red in it, going down to his ears. This hair connects to a bushy beard that goes a few centimetres off of his face, attached to a mustache. When entering his near-human form (which he almost always does in combat) he gets much taller, getting up to 200 centimetres tall. His height isn't all that changes, however. He gains bear claws, fur, and teeth, in addition to enhanced muscles. (Vladmir's normal form is a powered-down form, represented by the stats in parentheses)
Stats:
ATK: 3 (1)
DEF: 2 (1)
SPD: 2 (1)
TEC: 3 (3)
Alternate Form (1000): War Form- In this form, Vladmir becomes much taller, standing at 250 centimetres tall. He also gains much larger muscles, and claws. But the major difference is that in this form, Vladmir has the snout and fur of a bear, but with an upright body and opposable claws.
Changed Stats-
ATK: 3
DEF: 3
SPD: 3
TEC: 1
Starting Proficiencies Physical Strength (1000)
Powers Super Speed (1000)
Moves:
Viscous Claws (300): In all of his forms, due to his natural werebear nature Vladmir has claws in the place of fingernails. Each extends 5 centimetres (about 2 inches) from where his fingernails would be. They are useful for swiping, clawing, and cutting at his foes.
Mighty Fangs (300): Due to his natural werebear nature, Vladmir has viscous fangs in place of teeth. These empower his bites, making him able to bite and nearly rip off limbs, provided an enemy is weak enough.
Axe (300): Picked up from his days living in Canada, Vladmir has an axe he can use for battle. It has a wooden handle, about 1 metre long (~3 feet) attached to a steel head, with one blunt side and one for cutting, about 13 centimetres across.
