Name: Jericho Viridian
Nick Name: Vir
Race: Werewolf
Clan: N/A
Species: N/A
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Appearance: Shaggy black hair, gray eyes. Usually wears dark clothing, mostly thin, black pants and a tight shirt, each bearing their own holes. When transforms into a werewolf, he has black fur and yellow eyes. (Jericho is very skinny and somewhat short from being malnourished when he was a child. Though he looks scrawny, he's strong for his build.)
Weapon: A pair of brass knuckles.
History: Jericho was the product of a prostitute and one of her customers: he was an accident. He was born a bastard child, raised in poverty by a single mother who occasionally beat him. He lived in a small city in northern Pennsylvania, in the slums. Though the war was before his time, he would feel the effects, along with many generations after him. As soon as he was old enough, he performed a number of jobs to to help pay for food. Jericho and his mother barely managed to get by. When the apocalypse broke out, Jericho and his mother were left without a home, and his mother was too sick to work. At the age of sixteen, two armed government agents showed up to take him away. He learned that his mother had sold him to some lab as an experiment, and they were planning on taking him away. Jericho knew that his mother didn't care about him, but this was such a stupefying event that he couldn't grasp what was going on until the two armed men tried to force him into a car. They had sub machine guns, but he narrowly managed to escape with a few wounds where bullets grazed his skin.
The following six months Jericho had a hard time getting by. He stole from people to get by, but still had barely enough for food: you can only gain so much when stealing from the poor. But he knew he had to escape soon, since people were looking for him. Eventually, he had a small sum of money saved up. On his seventeenth birthday, Jericho bought transportation to the furthest place that he could afford with his savings, which wasn't far. He ended up on an old, smelly bus to the state bordering Pennsylvania to the north: New York. However, on the way to the city he bought passage to, the bus was attacked by a rogue werewolf. None of the passengers were armed, so the werewolf found them easy prey. But Jericho sat in the back and sneaked out of the window, making a run for it. But there was another werewolf waiting outside for him, which proceeded to bite him on the leg. He kicked and punched at it as hard as he could, but it was no use. It was about to bite him again, this time on the throat, when suddenly a low howl was heard off in the distance. The wolf perked it's ears up before running off into the night.
From there, Jericho limped toward a nearby city, but when he was within 100 yards, he collapsed. For the following day and until sunset, he lay there, slipping in and out of consciousness from fatigue, blood loss, and lack of food and water. But the moment the full moon rose in the sky, he found the strength to rise again, though he soon realized not as a human. The transformation was painful, but was accompanied by a profound inner strength. He knew what was happening, and even though he didn't want it, he was relieved that he might have a chance to live if he could get shelter and some water. As a wolf, he entered the city, and saw a nearby mall, where he soon learned that it was the territory of a pack of werewolves...
- Extras-
Personality: Jericho is a troublemaker, but usually only makes trouble for himself. He has an affinity for getting into tight situations, but has incredible survival senses due to this. He also has miraculously bipolar luck: Fate is either very cruel to him, or very merciful. Jericho has a cool attitude and doesn't respect authority as much as he should. He's pretty lazy and enjoys sleeping. He's very smart and resourceful, and doesn't trust others easily. Deep down, he's unstable and has confidence issues, but doesn't show it on the outside. Jericho doesn't trust other people and has negative views on everything, always expecting the worst in everyone. He has a kind of, "live for the moment," approach to life, since there's no telling when you're going to die. He is selfish and doesn't like to share, and doesn't play well with others. :3
