Story

Werewolves are descendants of the Aspects--spirits of nature that embody the ferocity and majesty of beasts. Born beneath a full moon, Jager and his twin sister Karin take opposite forms--when one tranforms into a wolf, the other transforms into a human, and so on. Jager favors his human lineage, which can be traced back to ancient nobility, over the lines that tie him back to the Wolf King.

Personality: Easily contented, cool-headed, honest
Personal Possessions: Decorative knife (gift from their mother)
Likes: Collecting weapons, fancy clothes, perfumes & incense
Dislikes: Magic, high-tech gadgets, architecture

Appearance

In human form, Jager wears a tattered formal suit and a dusty top hat over his long grey hair. In wolf form he retains the top hat, at a jaunty angle.
