It is best to look ahead, not behind. What's done is done. You cannot change it.

They See Me...

Age: Seventeen
Height: 5'10"
Race: Werewolf
Appearance: His figure is elegant and fluid, graceful even. Yet, beneath that there exists rippling muscle that is quite toned. To much the surprise of many empty-headed jocks, they regularly will find themselves hitting the ground before they have even finished issuing their challenge. But he isn't one to show off his brawn. His long blond hair is styled to be some what spiked and falls across the left side of his face. His right ear is pierced twice and he is never seen without his little black collar. With dazzling blue eyes and perfect blues lips, he is much the desire of the girls in his school - but not once has he ever accepted one. A smile is always seen on his face, even in the darkest of times. His attire usually entails jean skinnies, black converse, a black and white pinstriped button up shirt and a black blazer. Stunning, sexy, optimistic and always calm, he is the current awe of the little high school.

My Story...

Sexuality: Homosexual
High School Year: Grade 12 (Senior)
Personality: Seth believes there is always something better in the world and chooses to never see the darkness. Though he knows light cannot be without the shadow, his perception allows him to walk through that shadow without fear. Whatever may come, he will make the appropriate actions to ensure happiness for those around him and thus, his own. However, he is in no way naive. The world of his own bearing has shown him that. The curse that courses in his veins from his blood line has taught him much. He is courageous, powerful, strong, persevering and immensely determined. To bring pain unto others is inexcusable and Seth was never one to allow it to pass. But he makes sure he remains above their lowly and only brings them to the most reasonable of justice. As such, he has become a sort of idle to the school. Due to this and his handsome appearance, many girls have sought him out but the truth is, his most dearest secret next to his curse, is that he is gay.
Family: (Only Child)
Mother - Mary Eckhart
Father - Eric Eckhart
Motives: To do the best that he can.
History: The day of his birth was one of much anxiety and happiness. From the moment Mary found out she would be bearing her beloved Eric's son, she knew what would come. So they had been prepared for nine months for his arrival, and the day that was inevitable. The curse of the Lunar Cycle ran strong in Mary's blood but it had skipped a generation and fallen to her son, Seth. The Eckhart family had no home of origins for each generation with the curse was forced to find a new location. And so they chose this small city. Then born, his brilliant blue eyes gleamed up at his mother and father, his voice unheard for he did not cry. Instantly, they both cried out of joy. And at the same time...out of such great and indefinable sadness for the knowledge of his suffering was heavy.

But they were determined to do all they could, to ensure his happiness in every moment of his life. They trained him and prepared him, even unknowingly as he grew up. He always smiled, blind and naive as to why absurd challenges were constantly thrown at him along with the mixture of all the happiness they could give him.

Upon the first full moon of his being sixteen, it befell him. They had told him only a year ago the truth as to why all the challenges, the training, the preparation. And a year ago, though he had believed them, he was unsure. Unsure of himself. And of them. But on that night, he was more sure of it all than he could ever be about anything from then on. They had fled but a few days before to the family cottage nestled in a woods close a lake far, far away. This had gifted them with the proper solitude and the chance to be ready.

But he wasn't ready. He didn't feel ready.

His parents, with tears pouring with no end, took him to the center of the forest and left him there. They gave him all their love and told him they would find him in the morning, reminded him of all they had taught him, and banished themselves to the security of the cottage.

As the moon rose to its pregnant fullness in the great black sky - it happened. No words could describe his pain and all that plagued his heart. And as it happened, he blacked out. He would remember nothing. In the early hours of the morning, he awoke to being carried, naked, in his strong father's arms to safety. Clinging to him, he sobbed. All Mary could do was whisper over and over, "I'm so sorry..."

From then on, they trained him through his transformations. In time, he was able to be coherent through the nights of his bestial form. He could think and act as he wished but he could not deny the change itself. There were, and would be, times of loss in which he would do something he could not control or recall. But no one retained any harm thus far and so all is well. Since the city was smaller and somewhat distanced from the major modern aspects of the world, they no longer took Seth to the cottage for his change but allowed him to roam the empty and quiet city in the night, or to the wilderness not too far off. With all this in mind, it has shaped Seth to the character he is today.

But he has a secret now...and that is...he finds this boy to be something so much more, he desires him and his heart aches. But, alas, he can never seem to act on them. The moon is upon him once more...

You Should Know...

Powers: Just as any werewolf tale would dictate, Seth does change upon every full moon. This, while in his form, gives him minor regenerative abilities along with all that of which the beast's form could obvious hold. However, silver and many other legendary magics do not, in fact, do anything.
Other: TBA
