I'll bite. This sounds really interesting, although a bit too involved for the average bear, I think. Anyway, please tell me if there's anything I need do with my character to fit him into your setting better.<br/><br/>Name: Vasily 'Vasya' Ivanych Chekov<br/><br/>Approximate Age: 32<br/><br/>Gender: Male<br/><br/>Race/Species: Human, but possessed by a Wendigo (a sort of cannibal ghost)<br/><br/>Appearance:  Quite tall, about 6'2", with a heavy build.  Very muscular and strong, but not 'toned'; he's got a layer of pudge over that muscle. Thick, heavy features: dense eyebrows, deeply-set eyes, a nose like a wedge, wide mouth with square lips. One eye is milk white and completely blind. Huge arms and hands, with short, stout fingers with squared tips. Festooned with scars. Wears an open grey parka, black thermal trousers and massive  black boots. (Looks a bit like this fella:m<a class="postlink" href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y64/tsukabinashi/fedor-530x729.jpg">http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y64/ts ... 30x729.jpg</a>m)<br/><br/>Abilities: Extremely resourceful, incredible strength and endurance, cold resistance, in addition to being able to swallow whole, live prey.<br/><br/>Weapons: An ice pick, anything lying around.<br/><br/>Affiliation: No-one. He's new to the realm.<br/><br/>Goals: He hopes to find a cure for his affliction, first and foremost. He wants to atone for his sins. But the spirit inside him is only interested in one thing: prey.<br/><br/>History: Vasya was a Siberian mountain-man, hired by an arctic expedition to teach them how to survive the harsh cold. On the expedition, he and one of the crew lost the rest during a particularly fierce blizzard. During their time alone in the frozen wastes, Vasya was driven to cannibalism by starvation. As a result, he was possessed by the spirit of the wendigo. With the spirit's power, Vasya was granted increased strength, toughness and the ability to survive subzero temperatures completely unaided. Before too long, the snowstorm died down and he rejoined the expedition. But the wendigo hunger inside him drove him mad, and, over the course of weeks, he picked them off one by one and swallowed them alive. After devouring the last of them, Vasya, overcome with guilt, took a nearby ice pick and drove it into his eye socket in an attempt to kill himself. He awakened, alive but half-blind, in the tundra of the Hoku region.<br/><br/>Extra Info: Even though he is very tough, Vasya is still an intelligent, sensitive man. He enjoys poetry and prose, but his true love is opera. His condition causes him great mental anguish and guilt. Because of his childhood in Siberia, he can't read any language but Russian, but the wendigo allows him to understand any spoken language. He misses his home country. Vasya can fight off the hunger for a time, but he'll eventually reach a breaking point and devour a nearby human. He has no control over these episodes, although he finds that eating small animals will help stave them off for a time. The wendigo, who calls himself Batsar, speaks to him in his head and urges him to do things. Vasya, over time, finds himself no longer disgusted by the act of cannibalism, in fact, he grows to relish it. But that's later.<br/><br/>(TL;DR: A guilty, possessed, cannibal, Russian Hulk.)
