Rudy Lauffer
Gender: Male
Orientation:
Age: 25
Race: Werewolf
Occupation: Linguist with a specialisation in obscure languages
Looks: Brooding, dark eyes nearly always carry a serious, even haunted look. His dark brown hair is wavy, and shaving is very much optional.
Personality: Anxious and nervous, Rudy is extremely aware of what he is and the likelihood that he has killed people while he was in wolf form. He hates what he has become. He suffers from recurrent nightmares and panic attacks. He is a loner, not because he enjoys it, but rather because he is afraid that if he gets close to anyone, he will hurt them. He struggles to keep his life together. He’s scarred and scared. He doesn’t want to hurt people, but he doesn’t have a clue how to control it. He has to change, so he puts himself as far from people as he can when the full moon comes. Anxiety and panic attacks are a normal part of his life.
Powers/Abilities: Werewolf strength and agility for the two days on either side of the full moon and the full moon itself. Stronger and faster than average the other days of the week (though not nearly as much as, say, a vampire would have), keen senses. He is fluent in English, French, Spanish, Latin, Archi, Rotokas, and Sanskrit.
History: Rudy had a boyfriend, a normal life, and a job that was on the fast track to success. That all changed when he and his boyfriend were camping, and they were attacked by a werewolf. His boyfriend was killed, and he was turned. The were who bit him was a rogue who didn’t have a pack, and it took off, leaving him to live or die as he might. So Rudy had to learn to face the changes without a pack to guide him. He moved and cut off ties to family and former friends in order to keep them safe from him. He now works as a linguist, but he has a difficult time maintaining his job. He barely manages, living day-to-day, trying not to think about what the future might bring.
