CHARACTER HISTORY: Born in 1614 in the area that would one day become known as Maine, to a tribe of undocumented Indians. The nature of his birth was not normal even for his people, in that he clawed his way from his mother�s womb. Soon after his birth he is given the mark of his tribe, which will grow with him.
By the age of five he was taken by French fur traders, and sold to a wealthy family to be a servant of the house. The Lady of the house chose him because of his looks; of course as he got older and the Master figured out what his wife had in mind for the beautiful youth, he decided to use him as a whipping boy for his own son. Thanks to his healing factor it was hard for him to scar, something that might have saved him from the master�s ire in the long run.
In a drunken rage the Lord of the House decided to ensure that he wasn�t beautiful anymore, by taking the task of whipping him on himself. After a time he removed the whip and poured bourbon from his crystal and silver flask, thus stunting the healing factor natural to werewolves. And just for the fun of it the master took the whip up again and continued his torture of the boy.
At the age of sixteen his first shift happened, he managed to decimate not only the livestock but the family as well. After the rage had finally burned out and he collapses; a neighbor comes to find the ruin of the family. Instead of having to pay for the boy he takes him in out of the kindness of his heart.
His new master and the master�s guests decided to hunt some of the wolves razing the local framers, livestock. He was sent in to the underbrush of the woods to flush out the game. He managed to step on a vine, causing a thatch of briars to come up and graze his face, causing his eyes to flash to amber. He catches a glimpse of a hare fleeing his burrow; the chase was on for the bait.
The nobles were caught off guard by the shifting of eye color. His master deemed him as something from the otherworld, mayhap a Fey of some sort but unsure. As a safety measure for his family the master decides that it would be best for him to send the boy on to another family, or the streets he cared not. It wasn�t long before he was conscripted into the army (read knocked over the head and drug off).
With his natural tendency to follow orders, he was deemed the best one to be given as an aide to the commander of the garrison to watch the boarder between Germany and France. This was all well and good, but the Germans had other ideas. During one of the lulls between the fighting a troop of Germans ambushed the commander while out for his weekly tour of the surrounding area. The men that were with him fared poorly; Raoul managed to rabbit better than the others, due largely in part to his werewolf abilities.
Half starved he starts to try and live off the land in a less than hospitable region of the country. Up until this point of time he was unaware of his nature as a werewolf, but he started to figure out his abilities, so he was now able to willingly transform into the shape of a wolf. While looking for shelter on a stormy day he happened to come upon a slit in the mount he was roaming. After going in to get out of the storm he began to explore his new safe haven. Where he happened upon a sleeping bear that awoke to his nosy entrance. When faced with the fight for flight his werewolf nature kicked into overdrive do to the natural animosity between bears and wolves, he found a half form between wolf and human. Which allowed him to over power the bear and through instinct hit sensitive area that made the bear flee. With this new form he learned that he could do things he normally could not in either wolf or human form.
A half dead German soldier found the cave he was using as his den. This was both a blessing and a curse for the two men. For both needed food, Raoul, taking the advantage of the other man�s minor pause and attacked first. The soldier gathered his wits about him and returned the favor. During the ensuing fight he turns into his other form, and the soldier is rather delighted in this find. And so the German, who turns out to be a vampire, decides to see if a werewolf can be turned into a vampire; or if it would cause him to become a raving lunatic.
Raoul succeeds in killing his creator, the vampire did manage to turn him, but the blow was fatal for both. �Luna� looks down from her perch in the night sky and takes pity on her follower and saves him from his fate, a fate that would have been worse than death alone. With this gift he was graced with a unique gift, �Luna� gave him a chance to walk during the day but it came with conditions. During the lunar cycle, he must remain a wolf for those three days, and the three days after he is allowed to walk amongst the humans under the sun. But if he uses the powers of the vampire he loses the gift.
So without his creator, he was left to figure out how to survive with his new abilities.
Time passes; he is more animal than man or vampire.
Where he comes upon a troop of people and livestock passing trough the hills. With hunger gnawing at his belly, he stalked the troop in wolf form to see if he could find an easy meal. When presented with a chance at a horse that was tethered away from most of the camp and away from others that might spook before he could get in a quick killing blow. He lunged for the beasts� throat right as a man comes walking from a tree towards the horse. When seeing his mount being attacked by a wolf he charged it to scare it off or kill it if need be. The man being not of then living persuasion had no fear of a wolf. When Raoul saw the man he now had to take him out before he warn the other so he shifted his leap to catch the mans arm at the elbow, nearly ripping it off. That was when the man, a vampire, new this was no normal wolf, but something different and screamed for help. Knowing more would come do to the mans yelling, he shook his head fully removing the arm from the man. Then lounged for his throat with speed surpassing that of this low vampire. Tearing out his throat silenced the man, but did not kill him. With Raoul not knowing what a vampire was this made him back off because most things stop moving when he ripped out their throats. With this pause another man that had been watching stepped forward to grab and pin the wolf. Now Raoul new he was in trouble because no man was this strong. So he shifted to his half form and threw the vamp holding him. Now more where showing up along with the master of this troop. Who when seeing Raoul, knew he was not a normal werewolf. With a ring of his men circling around he told them to back off, but not leave an exit for him. Looking at this were�s mangy coat and half starved manner he began to plot. If he could but control this beast�
Then he ordered someone to bring one of the sheep they had pulled in close with them, and toss it to the were. While nervous about all the men around him, Raoul was too hungry to pass up the meal presented to him and tore in to the seep with ferocity most would find horrific, but this master gust smiled.
After his meal he shifted back to that of a young man that he was and tried to thank the man, but after so many years as an animal he had slowly lost most of his use of language. And being unsure why this person was being nice too him, most left yelling or attacked him like the other two. This one was different. The Master of this troop was an old one and he new what body language was, and could read the were, now in human form, like a book. He new what would be needed to get this one as his.
Raoul�s new master begins to condition him into being the perfect �son�. This includes calling him son and showing him favor, taking him on trips and showing him the �love� of a parent and not a master. Over the years from changing him from his animalistic nature to a more refined person, he installed conditioning in to Raoul�s personality. Making him seam as the all �loving� father, Raoul was defensive to keep this new and safe life.
Slowly his �father� began bring out his vampiric powers, while slowly manipulating Raoul in to what he saw fit, he keep him from some of the other unknowns to ensure that he was truly loyal to his �father�. So should the worse happen Raoul will seek out the ones that killed his �father� and return it back on them. Over the next few decades he would be introduced to other unknowns, thus forcing him to learn new ways of fighting the threats to his �father� and his happy new life.
It soon became apparent that Raoul was a perfect �son� and was allowed to go to other areas to oversee the businesses that his �father� had there. This was enough to free his �father� up to pursue other interest. Should anyone try to rise against his �father� he would take care of the threat on his own.
In time he was given a job to go to Hamilton and seek out information about the area; for his �Father� was looking for a new territory. It is also in this capacity that Raoul will act as an enforcer for him once he decides if he is indeed going to take over.
PERSONALITY: Having a wiling split and switch-able personality. One the perceived one that is professional, kind, courteous, and an all around �nice� guy; Two a nearly full blown sociopath that�s only concern is pleasing �Father. When in his sociopath mode, nothing he sees or dose bothers him, even when he switches back to mister nice guy, and he remembers every thing, but it is like reading what someone else did in a fiction book.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: shape shifting from human to either wolf form, that�s slightly bigger than a normal one, and a half form, think Van Helsing when he was fighting Dracula in the 2004 movie Van Helsing. To pop claws from the werewolf side, and lengthening and hardening finger nails from vamp side. Fast healing from both sides, more so if he drinks the blood of victims to replace his life force from his vampire side. Increased physical abilities and senses from both sides. If he spends the three nights of the full moon in wolf form lying and sleeping under the Moon, the next three days he can walk in the daylight, but can�t use vampiric powers, only werewolf, or lose the rest of that month�s time as a day walker.
WEAPONS OF CHOICE: Knives and claws for the up and close work, and a .45 cal double stack Taurus for the slightly harder more modern day need.
LOVE/LIKES: to please his �Father�, TV and Movies
HATES/DISLIKES: failing at his �Job�
FEARS/PHOBIAS: upsetting his �Father�, in fear that he would cast Raoul away.
DREAMS/IDEALS: What ever his �father� dictates.
