• Description

  Human form:
  A young, muscular man. He has longish black hair which is quite messy (falls often into his face), red cat-like eyes, sharp fangs (he's carnivorous), slightly pointy ears and suntanned skin. He usually wears ragged clothing, sometimes bandages and is always barefoot. His body is covered in scars, a wild mix ranging from bite marks, claw marks and blade cuts. The biggest one covers all of the left side of his neck and seems to stem from the teeth and claws of a big beast. Korax just barely survived and is quite sensitive about it, which is why he usually keeps this "sign of weakness" covered by his hair. Other big scars are found around his wrists (from shackles), on his right cheek (blade) and above his left eye (claws).
  
  Beast form:
  A giant black tiger with white stripes and red eyes (think inverse white tiger). The fur around his neck is longer than the rest, a bit like a mane. He's got the same scars as in his human form.
  Shoulder height: 150cm (4ft 11in)
  Head-torso-length: 280cm (9ft 2in)
  Tail length: 170cm (5ft 7in)

• General

  Background:
  Korax is a high ranking member of the moonhunter clan, a nomadic group of shapeshifters and other creatures (mostly werewolves). They're infamous as mercanaries who'll do just about anything... for a price.
  
  Skills / special abilities:
  - fighting style: berserker; overpowers the opponent with strenght
  - uses his unusual coat pattern to confuse and disorient enemies by moving fast
  - falls into a rage when fighting
  - injuries heal faster than a human would, except those inflicted by silver
  - good climber
  - has the strong senses of a predator
  - can talk in both forms but it's a lot more difficult and annoying as a tiger (as a were-creature his innate language is Raksh but he also speaks human tongue)
  - is a good liar
  
  RP:
  - setting: while his canon setting is high fantasy in medieval times he could also fit into modern urban fantasy
  - filters: violence/gore/abuse is to be expected

  Quotes:
  "Humans?", Korax tilted his head and put on an innocent face. "What humans? Oh, do you mean the guys from yesterday, the ones wearing armor? Those who attacked me, knocked me out and put me in chains?" He shook his head. "Embarrassing, isn't it? I should have known that they wouldn't be such easy prey like the peasants."
  -
  "You will wish I'd just kill you." He growled lowly. "You'll beg for it."
