Appearance (Furcadia Description): Despite the plain earthen clothes and muted green cloak, Liam is an entertainer at heart. It's hard to find him without a smile on his face, and even harder to find him without his beloved fiddle. The instrument itself is clearly well cared for, and the sound it produces further attests to the fact. He can play the day and night away, his mess of golden curls bobbing to every step as he dances through the notes. Of course, not every pub is friendly nor every town square without its vandals. A simple bastard sword rests on his back, but from all the boisterous acting and colorful music one must wonder: does he even know how to use the blade?

Personality
Demeanor: Light-hearted, playful, boisterous, gregarious
Likes: good beer, good music, bad women
Dislikes: bad beer, bad music, good women
Phobias (if any):
Alignment: True Neutral (Undecided or Balanced)
Description: This can mean either of two things, depending on whether the character is actively or passively neutral.Active neutrals (the Balanced type) are very rare. They are philosophically committed to maintaining the Balance, and will tend to join every fight on the losing side. Passive neutrals (the Undecided type) are somewhere in the middle on both the Good-Evil and Law-Chaos axes. The passive neutral alignment can also apply to creatures with no moral sense such as animals. Example: Zen masters (Balanced), animals (Undecided).
Cribnote: I'm not getting involved / All things must be in balance.

Possessions
Weapons
  • Weapon: Bastard Sword
    Description: Also known as a hand-and-a-half sword. It is large enough to be wielded with both hands, but also light enough for effective one-handed strikes. It is a standard blade of average quality, with no modifications or enchantments.
  • Weapon: Claws

Armor
  • Armor: Leather cuirass and bracers
    Description: Often not worn unless he has prepared for a fight in advance or is on guard duty. Thick enough to deflect a parried blade, but light enough to not significantly hinder movement.
  • Armor: Thick Hide
    Description: While transformed, Liam's skin becomes a rugged, flexible hide. Comparable to leather, but can still be cleaved by moderate strikes from bladed weapons.

Abilities
Natural Abilities
  • Ability: Lycanthropy
    Description: Liam was bitten at a young age, and has had years to hone his condition from a debilitating malady to an effective weapon. Voluntary transformations can take some time and are very painful, but can be expedited through concentration or slowed with distractions.
  • Ability:
    Description:
Learned Abilities:
  • Ability: Fiddler
    Description: A lover of music, Liam has spent most of his time on the road playing at various inns and pubs for the entertainment of others and the fattening of his coinpurse. He is an accomplished violinist and can play back a tune he's heard, but is unable to sight read music.
  • Ability: Swordsman
    Description: Traveling alone tends to be dangerous, and has learned how to handle a sword through self practice. He can handle himself well in a fight, though his style follows no school of martial art.
  • Ability: Druidism
    Description: As a means to help curb the dangers of his lycanthropy, Liam spent much of his youth with the druids of Ireland, learning simple spells, rituals and concoctions to better control his transformed self. The result is a higher level of intelligence and conscious control than the average werewolf, though the full moon still exerts enough of an influence to require some form of incapacitation. These skills make up a part of his daily routine, a task as trivial to him as jogging or milking cows.
     These rituals are not used in combat, but rather their regular upkeep helps him retain enough of his lucidity while transformed to keep his instincts for violence in check.

Lo Liam I'm Derp, one of the junior admins here to help with your app.

Just a couple of things
1) Stats seem somewhat high for his kind, possible to toss a medium-low somewhere for one of the stats?
2) Could you give us more information about his druidic powers and how it'll be used in combat?
3) Can he use such powers when shifted?
4) Does his stats change when he's shifted? Is he still physically as strong/stronger than his usual state? What about his mental capabilities?

Hi, Derp. Thank you for taking time to review the application.

1. If that's the case, would this work better:

Statistics

Human
Strength (STR): Medium-Low
Dexterity (DEX): Medium-High
Constitution (CON): Medium
Intelligence (INT): Medium
Wisdom (WIS): Medium-Low
Charisma (CHA): Medium-High
Overall Evaluation: (60) Average

Werewolf
Strength (STR): High
Dexterity (DEX): High
Constitution (CON): Medium-High
Intelligence (INT): Medium-Low
Wisdom (WIS): Low
Charisma (CHA): Low
Overall Evaluation: (62) Strong

2-3. His druidic powers are not directly combat-oriented, meaning he does not use them while fighting. It's an assortment of rituals, things he does as part of his normal routine. The end result is better conscious control of himself while transformed, though a full moon still makes him dangerous if he doesn't properly isolate and barricade himself beforehand. In a fight, whether as a human or transformed, he relies purely on physical combat. Think of it as like taking a pill that takes weeks of regular uptake to see consistent results.

4. He is faster, stronger and hardier while transformed. His mental acuity is impaired while transformed, though not as bad as a normal werewolf. Instead of being a Jekyll and Hyde scenario, he maintains lucidity and his sense of self, but must contend with the feral and violent instincts a werewolf normally displays.
