Michael Bladesbane(Complete)

Every stat is ordered like this,

Human Form/Hunter Form/Dire Wolf Form/Blood Wolf Form

Michael's human form is simple. He wears dragging Kevlar jeans, and a padded motorcycle jacket. Mostly because most of the time you'll see him riding on his red classic motorcycle. His hair is black and his eyes are an attractive blue.

Much larger and more muscular than a normal wolf. Michael's dire wolf form has mangled white course fur. He is easily three times the size of a man. And commands a very, very intimidating prescience. On his back rests a black saddle that depending on the size of the last rider is of various shapes, sizes, and positions.

Michael's blood wolf form stands on two legs. Has a somewhat human physique. And is similar in look and build to Hollywood Lycanthropes. Generally however his mangy fur coat is laced in sticky red blood.

Michael is what you could call outgoing. Although he's not exactly comfortable opening up to people due to being  nearly isolated from other children his whole childhood. He holds a commanding presence and demands at least mutual respect. Still he does this in a gentle way, and if you fail to respect him he wont really do anything then. However he will make note of it and will never forget it.

It is important to note that he is still young. He gets nervous and flustered just like anyone else his age. And has problems understanding the opposite sex. The tips that the spirits in the sword give him on this particular subject can become rather...amusing to say the least.

Michael in his hunter form is, well he's not even Michael anymore. He appears around twenty five, is seven feet tall, and much much more muscular. He holds an imposing presence and is much more blunt on the matter of respect. While in this form the demon, Michael, and the Communion slayer are all of one mind. And are thus all one being. This makes for an interesting, and slightly chaotic merger.

When Michael is in his Dire Wolf form he is put in a rather odd position. The demon gains enough power to challenge the slayer at night and is trying to force Michael into a monster like state. While the slayer is trying to keep him normal and human. As such he is left somewhere in between. Taking on the form of a wolf, he has little to no contact with the spirits at this time, who are duking it out on the astral level, and he is left to take all matters into his own hands. Michael can unlike most wolves speak in this form through either mild telepathy or via his mouth.

Michael's Blood Wolf form is vicious. The demon gains power from the full moon. Allowing him to lock out both the slayer and Michael. He has full control over Michael's actions and mind. And is, well a demon. He cares not if someone is friend or foe. Michael is still controlling his actions somewhat. But is blinded by amazing pain while in this form. His mind is also pumped full of rage by the demon. And the only way to stop the pain is to feed. And the demon's meal of choice just so happens to be human flesh.

Michael's ancestors were among the first to make contact with the seemingly divine beings known primarily as the Communion. His people at first were hesitant to give up their chieftain whom they revered as a living god for these newcomers. Although perhaps hesitant wouldn't describe there exact feelings. Yes, in fact I do believe terrified is much more fitting.  

Of course this initial terror was short lived. Most likely due to the fact that a certain divine agent took it upon himself to blow their primitive mead hall's doors apart with only his words. And then proceeded to make a show of tearing apart the so called god....

Now it could have been that the people were grateful to be liberated. Or that they were scared shitless of the being that had just reduced their chieftain that they had assume all powerful to quite literally nothing. Regardless they were quick to pledge their loyalty to the new found god's of their world.  And these were no doubt a whole lot more powerful than what they made sure were the former rulers of the realms of men.
 
The Communion didn't exactly need that many generals. Although  all of their current powers were being funneled into the very same angel that had just acquired the fealty of the primitive tribe. Unfortunately it would prove dangerous if they were to create more than one physical projection. It simply took too much power to create beings capable of doing, well what this one had just done. And if this one entity were to do battle with the pagan gods and primordial beast that currently lorded over the earth, then he would need all the divine horsepower he could get.

However it fortunately didn't take much power to supercharge so to speak the inferior beings that were the ones currently being lorded over. So it was only the next logical step to raise the best of the humans that had just sworn their very lives away, to god like status themselves. Utilizing them as the new generals of their legions of humans, and whatever else decided to jump on to the winning side.

Theses few would serve as the only needed leaders of the humans. They would certainly be a match for anything that this new conquest would bring against them. And would probably not need to be replaced. As for the other humans, well they were somewhat disposable.

They would indeed serve the Communion throughout the coming ages. However the Communion did have a tendency to throw away it's things after it was done with them. The beings themselves were of godlike stature, and thus were capable of becoming a threat. Once the conquest was done their was no need for them anymore, the risks now outweighing the benefits of entertaining their presence.

Though the very reason they needed to be exterminated was also the very reason that they couldn't. They were essentially immortal, indestructible, and just about anything else you would make out gods to be. However they could be bound to items. Or more importantly an item. One object was much easier to keep track of than many. Though it was also much harder to bind beings of such power into one thing as well. So there powers and souls were all bound to a sword. And every one of their spirits and minds save their leaders were bound to varius other items, and like any good artifacts of great powers were scattered across the globe and thrown into varius other planes of existence connected directly with Earth.

Legacy

The beings themselves were essentially gone. However they were still humans at their core even after their empowerment. Leading them to be prone to partake in one of humanity's favorite pastimes. Which was none other than procreation!

Spawning various unimportant human figures. But the most important bloodline was that of the Genereal whom was above all the others. Who only answered directly to the very angel that created him. The only bloodline that stayed even remotely close to the original reasoning behind their creation. They were what the modern media infected humans would refer to as monster hunters. And Michael just so happened to be born into them.

Upbringing

The actual clan itself was and is quite large. The group as a whole is referred to as the Coven. Although all the members themselves are separated into three subgroups. Each child brought into the family would receive training from each of the three divisions. Ultimately being drafted into the one that they were most efficient in.

The Blades

This sect of the clan is behind the physical training of the family. The actual warriors and front line of the group, most of them are more brawny. Although unlike most foot soldiers they do not lack brain. Each one of course has received training in everything from mathematics to ancient lore from the Pauldrons. Some are even highly intelligent in their own rite. However they are most beneficial towards the clan when they are on the front lines. And of course their is the occasional brute that could never exist within the other sects that are put or shoved rather into this group.

Their is a single leader of this division. Similar to a chieftain. The leader gains power through rather forceful tactics. Any current able bodied member of the blades are eligible to challenge the current leader to a death match. This was traditionally and still is done by cutting off and presenting their warriors braid to the chieftain. No member of the blade is allowed to cut their hair save of course the leader. Instead braiding it into various styles.

To go against this is to declare yourself the new power at be. Since their can not be two leaders. The two blades would fight to the death. Once a challenge is set forth their can be no going back. One of the men will die.

Michael's father was none other than the Chieftain himself. He would push Michael amazingly hard in all Physical aspects. Making him one of the best slayers within the Young Bloods.



The Pauldrons

The Pauldrons are the brains behind the clan. Essentially mages and scholars they provide the intellectual training to the group. Once again the Pauldrons themselves can be quite formidable in battle, these are made especially dangerous through their mastery of the arcane. Even the most physically weak of this division bodies are trained to the peak of what their capable of.

These intellectuals take a much more civilized approach to governing themselves. Instead allowing their peers to vote them into power. A ruling council of eight Highmages are elected ever ten mortal years. Which in turn elect from amongst themselves an Archmage, this is the true patron of the Pauldrons. And the one who brings the decisions of the other Highmages to the other two sects.

And Michael's mother just so happened to also be the Archmage. A union between a Sword and a Pauldron is indeed rare in of itself. However a union between an Archmage and a Chieftain is more or less unheard of.


The Crowns

The Crowns are essentially the ruling class of the clan. Though they are far from spoiled royals. The greatest of each division are funneled into this group. Even some Archmage's are not allowed entrance into this elite class. Making it rather small in of itself.

However small they hold more power than anyone in any other group. Holding the right to completely overrule any decisions made by the other groups, even if they come to a consensus.

This puts them in the perfect position to either save the group, or destroy it. This in of itself makes the Blades and Pauldrons choose their leaders very wisely. No matter how powerful, this sect rarely acts. Instead allowing the other sects to lead the Coven.



The Young Bloods

      This division holds no power. It consists of the children of the clan. You stay in the YB untill your eightenth birthday when the elders of the Swords and Pauldrons decide where your are placed. Up untill that point you receive training from the main two bodies.

Even though they have no official governing power. They do elect a leader. This elected official rules untill he or she transfers into the main bodies. Unfortuantly for many years the older members have made it so that the YB could not elect a leader. Providing no solid answer as to why.



Michael's Life

Michael's father an mother did love each other, quite a lot actually. Although they were very, very different. Michael's mother insisted on training him in every intellectual pursuit. However his father also insisted just as admittedly that he be trained in combat. Even within the Coven YB are generally allowed free time to whatever they please amongst themselves.  

However Michael was not afforded this luxury whatsoever. Instead being trained at all times either with the other children or with his parents. Unfortunately for him he would be pitted by his parents against both the fully grown warriors of both his Parents sects upon entering his teen years. While most children were trying to become good enough to become the men in either the Crowns or Blades, he was being forced to surpass them. And most of the time he was getting his ass kicked instead.

Not to say he wasn't a good fighter. The YB also organised their own brawls. And Michael would easily win every one of his, the kids were after all nowhere near as strong as their parents. Whom he was forced to fight and survive somewhat. Though apparently surviving in one ring was akin to thriving in another. He gained the esteem and envy of the entire YB sect


Michael was as rebellious as most teenagers, perhaps even less than most. Though the adults had been using the lack of a YB leader to lord completely over their kids. They were allowed no say in what they did or even what they wore. Though they were too unorganized to bring anything to anyone's attention.

So in secret the YBs took it upon themselves to elect whom they thought would be the best leader. And they of course chose Michael, however it was soon afterwards that they discovered why the adults had been banning any leaders. It was in fact surprisingly in the best interest of their kids believe it or not.

A old demon, one even older than the first members of the fallen Communion once threatened to destroy the Coven. It took the combined efforts of nearly every one of the Crowns to subdue this beast. Please note they did only subdue it, binding it in the only thing they held in their possession powerful enough to contain it. An old sword, the origins beyond recorded Coven history. They only knew it was forbidden to use, although for this purpose they believed it was necessary.

This demon however during the binding made one last swipe at the Coven. Cursing it's future children on the date that the next YB leader was elected. Upon Michael's initiation the entire YB assembly physical forms were ripped asunder undergoing a metamorphosis that would transform them into ravenous large wolves some of which approached 6'0 in height even on all fours. Michael himself however was not changed in exactly the same way . He instead took on a much more humanoid and savage form. Akin to the Lycanthropes of the mortal Hollywood.

The now vicious children charged the compound in which their parents now lay sleeping. Slaughtering those who did not wake quickly enough to react, and then easily dispatching those who did. They pushed further and further into the compound eventually reaching the quarter of the Crowns. Whom were not so easily slaughtered.

However while fighting the hordes of massive wolves, they were not able to focus on the sword, which so happened to be in their protection. And was of course in their quarters. Michael now feeling the closest things to thoughts since his metamorphosis was drawn into the back room and away from the bloodbath. Resting upon a giant stone hand lay a sword, it's very being calling towards the wolf like creature, Michael crept towards it hungerly.  

He didn't quite know why or even what he was going to do with it, all he did know was that he wanted it. Drawing ever closer his giant talon like claws greedily grasped the sword. And the second his fingers touched upon the tooled leather of the handle, he was changed for the second time drastically for the second time that night. This time however it was back into the shape of a man. Although not quite the man he was before. This one was much taller and much much more deadly.

Walking once again into the room he had been in only mere moments ago. He found it completely changed. The Crowns were still fighting the hordes, to their credit they had only lost one man against the swarms of wolves. Still they were being overwhelmed and were losing grown rapidly soon being pinned against a blood painted wall, this would be the end for them. Or rather it would have been if the figure grasping an ancient sword hadn't rushed angrily into the fray. Forced to slaughter his own classmates, the now changed Michael only felt for his slaughter of innocence and not whom those innocence used to be. Quickly finishing off the once menacing pack of wolves he collapsed once again taking on the seventeen year old form of Michael.

When he awoke he was face to face with something much more terrifying than the pack of wolves, he was outside the only place he had ever known. The gates of the compound were for the first time in his life, closed to him. Terrified Michael banged against the gate time and time again, tearing his hands to the bone, and wearing his voice thin. Broken and shaken he fell backwards intent on falling into despair, until something hit him as he fell, the sword was right there. It was somehow comforting, he felt compelled to once again draw the blade, and ever since then the voices haven't stopped.

Power 3: Hunter Magic

Michael was born with a special proficiency for his families magic. It was designed to kill the supernatural. And is only effective against magical creatures. Mundane beings are immune.

Medium Spells:

Chains of Hell: Michael can either inscribe runes on to the ground and when something walks in between these two runes chains constructed from yellow energy erupt from the runes ensnaring anything that activated it. Or he can simply cast this spell without laying the runes, however by casting it free hand he has to focus on the spell at all times to maintain it, and can't cast any other spell. Though with the runes he does not have to focus on it as the energies are more stable and concrete. The chains themselves vary in size depending on the size of the victim.

Michael can inscribe runes on a house or building that can keep out malevolent entities. Mainly astral projections or demons, anything that feeds on death, vampires, etc.
