Dyrrian inherited his father's massive frame and thickly muscled arms. Long, shaggy brown hair often obscures his eyes. His full moustache and beard invoke an image of the grizzly bear that has become a part of his being. Since his change, his temperament has also become more like his animal form. He is quick to anger and will explode into a murderous frenzy if provoked. Otherwise, he is melancholy and gloomy, preferring to stay aloof from other members of the clan. |
Dyrrian tended to his fathers blacksmith as a teenager and was intent on following in his father's footsteps when he grew older. However, one fateful night in the forest changed his plans forever. He had fallen in love with the local mage's daughter but his father wanted him to have nothing to do with "evil magic users". Inspired by the brashness of youth, Dyrrian fled with his love to the forest with the intent of getting secretly married. As fate would have it, they took shelter from a brewing thunderstorm in a cave inhabited by a were-bear. Angered that it had been disturbed, it attacked the young couple. Dyrrian bravely stood between the bear and his bride-to-be, allowing her to escape into the stormy night. Dyrrian survived with his life but soon found that he was infected with the lycanthropy virus. Positive that his fiancée would have nothing to do with his new, bestial nature, he let her think he had been killed by the bear and stayed alone in the woods, sinking deeper into depression. When the hunger of his new form finally overtook him, he clawed free from his depressed state and began a new life, roaming free in the woods, building his skills of survival. He eventually found that there were other were-beasts like him and joined their clan. He spent long hours each day honing his combat skills, working his way up the ranks until he eventually became the Captain of the Were-Nation. Now, he trains the Were-Nation army and leads them into battle. |
