  Ailments
  Albinism: Talin is highly sensitive to sunlight, and has to be careful when exposed for long periods. Sunscreen is rarely out of reach, and provided the weather isn't too hot, Talin frequently wears full-coverage clothing (such as long sleeves and pants) to further protect himself from the harmful rays of the sun.
  
  Eyesight: Talin's right eye was severely damaged to the point of being useless, and as such, he only has sight out of his left eye. Albinism affects that eye by causing extreme light sensitivity, and overall poor vision. Tal has tinted eyeglasses to assist in correcting these vision problems, as well as sunglasses.
  
  Appearance
  Hair: Pure white, shaggy, with long bangs that fall into eyes and frame face. One longer lock on the right side of the head is often laced with wooden beads.
  Eyes: Fleshy pink, surrounded by pure white lashes.
  Height: 6'04".
  Weight: Mid to late 200's.
  Build: Loosely defined muscles; stocky.
  Skin: Incredibly pale.
  Scars: Many across skin, though the most obvious is the large scar across the right side of his face.
  Clothing: Simple, often uninspiring - t-shirts, jeans, khakis, sweaters. Doesn't seem to be too bothered by fashion.

• Beneath the Surface

  Likes: Reading, soothing and relaxing music (fancies classical), his family, very savory foods as well as very sweet foods, antiques and old things, the color orange, peaceful areas such as parks and libraries, history, artwork (though he cannot draw himself), the night and moon, anything beautiful in the world.
  
  Dislikes: Not having his mother in his life (total momma's boy), his vision problems, creepy crawlies, not having connection with his children, his uncertain living situation, authority, boredom and not being productive, altercations, loud environments.
  
  Personality: Due to his role as an omega early in life, as well as his previous status of being totally blind, Talin has been humbled by the trials and hardships associated with those kinds of issues. It lead to him growing up flighty, unsure, nervous, and anxious. As time passed and he grew, those nervous tendencies refined themselves into something more confident, yet just as placid. Talin is hard to anger, and perhaps one of his talents is that he keeps a level head on his shoulders at all times. Being a strong introvert, Talin tends to be a very reserved individual, and likes his alone-time as much as time with ones he cares about. Talin is not fond of altercations as he considers them very energy draining, and often tries to steer clear of them when at all possible. Such traits often give the false perception that Talin is either weak or a pacifist, neither of which are true. On the contrary, Talin has a hidden strength and perseverance that he doesn't gloat about; it was developed through many years of living a blind life, susceptible to many dangers, never knowing if he'd live to see another day. While being a generally warm individual, Talin is known for being no-nonsense, and may have a short fuse in regards to irritability. Talin is notoriously stubborn when situations call for it, and doesn't like giving up until all options are exhausted.

• The Beast

  

  
  Fur: Stark white with hardly any variation at all - a color achieved thanks to his albinism.
  
  Eyes: Reddish pink, also attributed to his albinism.
  
  Height: Bipedal - 8'02". Quadruped - 5'00".
  
  Weight: 695 LBS.
  
  Appearance: A similar body as his human form - loosely defined muscles, stocky, thicker. Scars can be seen peeking from beneath white fur, with the most obvious being across the left side of his face; the fur is completely stripped in that area. Talin's fur is thick and plush, perfect for the mountainous environment that he was brought up in. Talin's canines are long and as such, poke from his lips, and his claws are long and sickle-like. Perhaps the most odd aspect of Talin's werewolf form is that the fleshy bits that are typically darker, such as the nose, the mouth, around the eyes, as well as pawpads are pale and fleshy pink, likely due to his albinism.
  
  Personality: Talin's werewolf form is a more wild reflection of his human counterpart in that he bases his actions off instincts instead of pure human mentality, though is perhaps a bit more mellow and aloof than your typical werewolf. Talin is in full control of his shifts with the exception of extreme duress - depending on what enticed the shift will ultimately dictate the personality of the beast. The ability to be violent definitely lies within the wolf, but as a general rule, Talin only takes the offensive when it's called for, not typically for fun.
