John Soap MacTavish

John MacTavish, known as Soap, Knight Sergeant of the Highland Infantry. He is 5'11 and muscular in build. Has blue eyes and short brown hair, worn in a mohawk. His skin is pale, and a bit scarred, wearing a stubble on his face. He is a werewolf—a man capable of turning into a giant wolf on command, or forcefully during a full moon. Resilient and strong, thanks to his shifter blood, but weak to silver - suffering from the blessed metal, which dulls his natural ability to heal on command. He is adaptive, foolhardy, quick-witted, tenacious, protective, intelligent, and extraverted in nature. Speaks with a thick Highlandish (Scottish) accent, but when he is in wolf form, he can't speak in human language. Comfortable in his own body, not afraid to be nude, as it's natural for a shifter to wake up bare after a transformation. Wears thick, woolen shirts adorned with silvered embroidery, cuffed with long sleeves and laced neck. A blue tabard falls around in a traditional kilt, draped low enough to cover the thick legs.

Whenever transformed, he takes the form of a seven foot tall, dark-brown wolf, with cyan eyes and a nearly black mane of hair growing from the head.

He spent ten years in the infantry unit of the Highlands Brigade, under the king Alistair the III. For now, he is back at his home, running errands for his clan in Toska. A bastard son to Baird MacTavish, the clan's general and one of the main governors of the chiefdom. Generally liked by the common folk due to his helpful nature, Soap is despised by the nobility for his 'dirty' blood.

He contracted lycanthropy during the end of his military campaign. A rabid 'hound' bit him on a particularly difficult skirmish, causing the spread of the beast blood that turned him to the monstrous shifter months later.
