Character Name: Lexington Harris
Character Type: Werewolf, Alpha

Abilities: Basic Werewolf abilities plus the ability to resist the urge to shift and stop others from shifting (wolves only)
Age: 24
Kinsey Rating: 3

Physical Appearance: Lex is generally in good health, though he tends to look like he hasn’t gotten enough sleep. At about 5’10 he’s not overly tall, though there’s a hint of broadness to his shoulders. His hair is brown and a little shaggy, and his eyes are gray and generally friendly looking.

His clothing choices tend towards loose and comfortable, and anything fancy or form fitting makes him uncomfortable.

PB: Justin Chatwin

Personality: Lex is over all a laid back, nice guy. He takes things in stride and is not known for his temper. In fact, when he does get mad it tends towards quiet intimidation rather then a fiery rage, though when his Beast is closer to the surface this can change somewhat. He generally the calm head in an emergency, organizing things and getting things taken care of quickly and efficiently. This makes him a good leader in some respects, though his lack of obvious bestial force can make him appear weak to other Shifters who do not know him well. The truth is that he favors harmony above war in all things, and will avoid a fight not because he is afraid, but because he doesn’t see the point. This can often lead to internal conflict between himself and his Beast’s instincts.

He is a social creature above all else, and is happiest around other wolves. Like most werewolves he is very touchy, though he makes sure it can never be seen as sexual (unless of course, it -is-). And this tends to bleed over to non-wolves as well. He’s protective and almost overly eager to be helpful. If he wasn’t a dominate he’d almost be puppy-like in his enthusiasm to aid others and keep busy. But that view is quickly shattered when something or someone he’s claimed is threatened… then he is cold and forceful. As a young Alpha he is still learning his responsibilities to his packmates and how to control his powers, and sometimes this overwhelms him.

Lex has a very open personality over all, falling into friendships and love-affairs easily and generally trying to be everyone’s go to guy. But because of this he takes too much on, usually ending up running around trying to make things easier for everyone else and never himself. This occasionally come back to bite him in the butt, and he can become rather bitter if he feels he’s being taken advantage of. When he decides he’s had enough he can be petty and cruel to his targets before finally devolving into brooding.

History/Background: Lexington’s childhood was pretty simple. His mother died when he was young, but his father did a pretty good job in her absence. The two of them were never rich, but never had to worry for food or rent much either. Lex grew up a friendly young man with a slightly quirk sense of humor and a few close friends. It was during his high school years he realized he had a talent for acting and joined his local drama club, eventually gaining roles in a few commercials.

But nothing really took off until his first year of college. It was then that he did an audition for a bit part in a dramady series on one of the smaller cable networks. His audition was for one of the sillier roles, but thanks to his naturally shaggy appearance and voice range they instead cast him in a more serious role as an anti social ex-drug addict. The role scared Lex to death, but once he started really getting into it he really took off, his character becoming a bit of a dark horse in popularity. This was largely due to the chemistry he had with one of his co-stars, and the two eventually became on-and-off again lovers.

Lex worked on the show through out his college career, fighting to balance schooling and work, and looking forward to a bright future.

But then the attack happened.

It had been an early evening walk. Not even a full moon… when Lex got caught up in a scuffle between a local werewolf and a fleeing rouge. It only took one scratch and he was running full speed for home. For the next two weeks he frantically cleaned the wound, called off work and school, and tried his best to deny the odd thoughts flickering through his head. He never even went to the hospital or police to report what happened.

It didn’t help. When the full moon came he Changed, and everything went to hell.

It didn’t take long for the local werewolves to find him, and he really felt he had no choice but to listen to them. He had no idea how to control himself, and the idea of losing himself and killing someone horrified him. He dropped out of school and went on hiatus at the studio of “work related stress” for months, falling into a deep depression while learning what it took to be one of the chronically fuzzy, one that lasted months. He honestly felt his life was over, but as he adjusted to his new lifestyle he began to accept it, even enjoy it. The new powers were amazing, and he had a new family to take care of. Eventually he came back from his work hiatus, though he had to do a bit of begging and scraping to be allowed back. He was still worried that he might lose control on set, but he had to get used to his inner Beast.

It’s been over a year since.
