When he grows angry, the beast emerges and then they take on a hard edge that looks for weakness. Thick curly hair, which Thomas keeps close cut on the sides frames a strong jaw.

Character History: Thomas Martel has just arrived to the city as a way of hiding from the collateral damage caused by his infection. Thomas was a recently returned veteran who had used his medic training to become an EMT. One night on a call, they came upon what they believed to be a car accident; he would later learn that the car had been damaged as a woman was attempting to flee an angry husband who ran her off the road after discovering she had been hiding her shifter nature from him. The woman was wild with pain, the fear and blood causing her to shift and bite Thomas. He instantly tried to hide the bite from his partner, but in a small rural county there was no hiding the truth forever.

He lost his job, his fiance threw his ring back at him in disgust that she had been sleeping with a shifter and he booked the next bus to New Orleans to get ahead of the angry mutters. Since arriving, Thomas had been working odd jobs, using old army connections to get work down on the docks, or helping with home construction and side jobs where no one cared who you were as long as you didn't smell of booze or weed.

Thomas was unhappy though, his new nature cried out for others of his kind and he was not content to live the life of a homeless wanderer. To that end he began to listen at the soup kitchens and street corners, trying to find rumours and whispers that would help him figure out who to approach.

Place of Birth: Baton Rouge
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Religion: Catholic
Degree of Religious Practice: None really

Species: Werewolf
Powers: Alpha

A. Standard
1. Physical Prowess: All lycanthropes are extremely fast, strong, and resistant to damage. Lycanthropes' strength appears to depend somewhat on their actual size and somewhat on their level of supernatural power, as well as what kind of animal they are based upon (a werebear is much stronger than a wererat, for example – but also much slower).
2. Fast Healing: Lycanthropes can recover from almost any wound other than that caused by silver weapons. The more powerful the shifter, the greater the wound they can recover from suffering. For example, in Circus of the Damned, Rashida is able to regenerate an entire arm, and Richard Zeeman is able to recover from having his throat literally torn out.
3. Acute Senses: Lycanthropes have extremely acute senses, even in human form.
4. Silver Vulnerability: Lycanthropes are effectively allergic to silver and feel physical pain from even skin contact, although some seem to enjoy silver jewelry.
5. Control animals: Within line of sight, speak with and influence animals of their base type.
6. Hybrid Form: As they gain experience, they can shift into a “hybrid form” – a bipedal cross between their animal type and human form.
7. Aura of Power: All shifters have an Aura of Power, though only Heads of a Clan can actively use theirs.
8. Pass as Human: Though not all shifters in the book are able to ‘pass’ as human, in the game all can unless the player chooses to say otherwise. This means short of supernatural senses telling otherwise, you cannot tell a shifter from normal without a blood test.

B. Alphas – All of the above, and choose three of the following:
1. Resist Moon's Call: An ability to resist transforming.
2. Partial Change: The ability to partially shapeshift, for example shifting hands into claws
3. Calling the Beast - This power allows a Lycanthrope to draw out the rage/anger of a fellow Lycanthrope, forcing that Lycanthrope to shift, even against their will.
4. Share Power: Some shapeshifters, such as Richard can share their power with others by allowing them to feed on the shapeshifter's blood.
5. Quick Shifting: Can change back to human form sooner than normal weres, even on night of the full moon.
