PERSONALITY AND HISTORY:
Personality: Well mannered, intelligent and kind hearted and loyal, Tom is the penultimate friend and the kind of kid that will go out of his way to help a friend in need. He comes from a close knit and loving family and a small town with roots that have lasted generations. He wears the worry of his people and is often times homesick; not happy to be at the Arcadia Academy but doing so out of the wishes of his Mother and Grandfather. Tom knows the world is not yet done changing and fears what that means as the awakening of magic has already taken a disastrous toll on his people and homeland. Conversely, when his blood is up, Tom is brash and fearless and borders on instigation when it appears a fight may break out – his Kodiak blood fever rising within him.
History: Tom is a recent arrival at Arcadia Academy, following a regional class event in the Alaskan Wastes near his hometown of Katmai. Kodiak was rumored to be overrun completely by magical and mythical creatures, basically making it a snowy forest wasteland uninhabitable by man. Tom’s family are one of many Reclaimer groups that foray into Kodiak to investigate and wage a unsanctioned regional war against the creatures and beasts that lay claim to the island. During one such foray, only the fourth for young Tom, the Reclaimer group was overrun by a horde of undead-pygmy like creatures known as Baykok. Overwhelmed and falling one by one, Tom channeled his untapped magical potential… transforming into a great beast himself. Tom’s father and many of his neighbors were slain in the fight but Tom survived thanks to his newfound gifts. Knowing that Tom was a gift from the earth mother herself, he was encouraged by his Grandfather and Mother to seek out others who could help him and his land and to learn how to refine his guests… for the Legacy of the Kodiak depended on it.
MENTAL- AND MAGICAL STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
MENTAL
Mental Strengths: Determination. Peak Concentration. Stubborn ability to remain focused and dedicated to a task or purpose.
Greater Mental Strengths: Focused Will. His cannot be undeterred by any means other than his own inner rage and anger.
Mental Weaknesses: Inner fury. Compromises manners and his usual calm demeanor when he senses danger to himself or others and is prone to give in to his anger and irrational tendencies to lash out.
Greater Mental Weaknesses: Fear of failure to keep the inner beast him at bay; to become that which threatens his lands and people, that which tore his father to pieces.
MAGICAL
Strengths due to Magic: Imperviousness to physical mundane attacks (punches, melee weapons, piercing weapons and ranged weapons up to an including ranged .50 caliber weapons fire). Increased agility, speed and strength despite his increased size and density. Claws and teeth render mythical damage.
Greater Strengths due to Magic: Increased immunity to all forms of energy attacks and increased invulnerability to mundane munitions at the expense of rational mind; the more bestial he becomes, the stronger and more indestructible he becomes.
Weaknesses due to Magic: Extended periods of time in summoned form begin to cloud rational thought and impact intelligence with a persistent ‘hangover’ factor even after reversion to natural form. Even his grades reflect a drop in memory capacity and comprehension following extended periods in which Tom is in his bestial form.
Greater Weaknesses due to Magic: It is believed Tom can eventually lose his sense of self and stay in his summoned form without a trace of his humanity. Extended periods will degrade his calm demeanor, drive him to animalistic isolation and increase his more basic –predatorial- desires.
MAGICAL ABILITIES AND INHERITED MAGIC:
Magical Abilities
Trailblink (Defensive/Maneuver) – Tom can translocate himself in short distances of less than 100’ at near instantaneous speeds but for minimal periods of time before he begins to weaken from exertion. He can carry objects that weigh approx. average human weight but for shorter distances and with greater expenditure of mana. The lighter the object, the less the exertion and the further he can move it. Typically used to augment his attacks and escape melee.
Potency - C
Scale of Mana Required – B-D
Processing Power of Magic - A
Mountainous Bear Stance (Defensive) – By spending mana and risking his sense of self, Tom can greatly increase his resiliency and invulnerability to nearly indestructible levels. This is physical augmentation and does not mean he no longer needs to breath or sustain himself and he is still somewhat vulnerable to mental magic despite his iron will.
Potency - A
Scale of Mana Required – A-D
Processing Power of Magic - C
Furious Bear Stance (Offensive) -- By spending mana and risking his sense of self, Tom can greatly increase the potency and strength and speed of his physical strikes and the sharpness of his claws and bite. At optimum levels, his claws and bite can rend depleted uranium (tank armor) and his paw strikes can shatter concrete. At his peak level, he can create shockwaves that can tumble front lines and create localized quakes.
Potency - A
Scale of Mana Required – A-D
Processing Power of Magic - A
Survival of the Sleuth (Body Enhancement) – Tom can borrow or channel the increased senses of his bear form, whether in his summoned form or not. This allows him an uncanny sense of tracking and a heightened range of senses that are above average. The sense, being magical, allow him to track persons over great distances, smell fear and deception, see through darkness both natural and unnatural, hear across several mundane frequencies and separate the tastes of hundreds of classifications of substances.

Inherited Magic: Blessing of the Kodiak.
A magical trait that seems reserved for the Kodiak people, and rare even to them, few children learn to summon their inner bear and to give in to the spirit of that wonderous beast. It is said some lose themselves completely and never walk among Men again while others are so fearful of what they become they never succumb to the spirit again. Few can maintain a balance of both Man and Bear but for the sake of his people, Tom strive to become one of those few.
In Kodiak form, Tom increases mass and his body takes on a mythical bear form that still reserves some human capacity. He can communicate and remains mostly bipedal. His body is covered in brownish fur, his four paws sprout deadly claws and his teeth are definitely bear-like. The were-bear form lasts as long as Tom maintains some mana and conscience though the longer he remains, the harder it is to recover from the effects the spirits have on him.
