O. B.: February 12 ★ H E I G H T: 6 feet and 2 inches ★ W E I G H T: 155 lbs ★ A P P E A R A N C E: Somewhat tall and slim for his weight, Grahame is of an average build, if only slightly muscular due to his constant exercise. His upper body seems unfit for combat, yet experience trumps aptitude and allows him to hold his own. A pleasant face lies obscured by somewhat unruly, wavy hair, long enough to cover his head in a shaggy mane reminiscent of his canine form. Amber eyes accentuate his soft features and a generous mouth give the appearance of a strikingly handome young man, if only he would toss his mane from his face and remove the cigarette that is forever protruding from his long fingers. His posture, reclining and unimposing, adds to the illusion that tells the mind he is a desirable aquaintance. He has worn his clothes to a threadbare and ragged state, yet the ensemble projects a vision of care and attention to detail in the smart lines and careful stitching that hold his heavy knee-length coat and long-sleeved cotton shirt together. Black is his color of choice, with golden edging evoking the style of his century of birth. Shapeless trousers and forgettable black shoes detract some attention from his body and more toward his face.

He trusts none, yet he will portray himself most often as the lovable oaf in order to ellicit trust from others. He is manipulating at times and falsely submissive, bending to the will of others to create an illusion of likeability, which he uses to gain better standing in the opinions of other to suit his own desires. Grahame is the ultimate conman, yet he dispairs using his talents for his own gain, preferring to lurk at the edges of society as a lone stray than use his charm to build a respectable life. He is a skillful liar and has great self-control, yet he abstains from lying if he can, keeping silent instead. Decades of wandering from town to town has worn on Grahame's nerves, leaving him little patience for loud humans or other witches like himself. Other wayfarers seem to be the only beings he cares to keep around him for any amounts of time, as he finds kindred spirits in other witches jaded by society. Meeting witches in animal form conforts him and, although he rather dislikes their human forms as a rule, certain personalities may grow on him if he finds they resemble his own. He treaures companionship, yet finds it hard to show affection, acting rather distant in vain attempts to keep others close once he has begun to enjoy their company. ★ L I K E S & D I S L I K E S: ♥ other canines, wolves or dogs ♥ being in dog form ♥ eating scraps from humans ♥ being petted ♥ running in either form ♥ dressing fancy when not in dog form ♥ sleeping ♥ smoking ♥ sleeping while listening to music ♥ pianos, even if he can't play ✗ being approached by others ✗ being called by his first name ✗ other witches ✗ using his spells ✗ being talked to like a human ✗ being hungry ✗ children or childish humans ✗ getting into fights ★ H O B B I E S & H A B I T S: ⋆ hobby one ⋆ hobby two ⋆ habit one ⋆ habit two ★ S E C R E T S & F E A R S: ⋆ secret one ⋆ secret two ⋆ fear one ⋆ fear two ★ A M B I T I O N S: ⋆ ambition one ⋆ ambition two ⋆ ambition three [/style][STYLE=width: 400px; padding: 10px; font-family: Arial narrow; font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: 3px; text-transform: uppercase; background-color: 525252; border-bottom: 3px solid #f9f9f9;]★ HISTORY[/style][STYLE=width: 400px; padding: 10px; background-color: d5d5d5; font-family: arial; color: 313131; font-size: 11px;] please give at least one paragraph noting any important events in your character's history. things to consider: family, joining the dwma (if a student/teacher), descent into insanity (if a kishin/dark weapon/etc.). older characters will be expected to have more, as will important or otherwise powerful characters.

Depending on the time of day, the proximity of the emeny, or the effort with which he applies toward keeping the spell going, Grahame can hold it for anywhere from 5 minutes/1-2 posts (to ensure a quick escape) to 45 minutes-2 hours/5-7 posts (if he stays close to the opponent and applies full force of the spell; used to disorient and cause an opponent to lose their way; very, very rarely used to this effect). Most often used in dog form to escape pursuers or to "haunt" those who have wronged him. ⋆ Capelthwaite's Confusion - Issues an eerie howl accompanied by pulsating lights and blurring of the vision; chills the opponent to the bone and attacks the nerves, causing confusion, disorientation, and loss of senses for 10-20 minutes/2-3 posts. Only used in dog form, as a human scream would not have nearly the same effect. ⋆ Bargheist's Revenge - Calls forth a burning inferno tinged with black from the fires of hell; used to burn his opponents in a forceful blast that can be shot like a cannonball. Sets anything in the near vicinity (three to five yards on either side) into flames, as well as providing knockback to any caught near the explosion. Reserved for use as a final assault when Grahame is in danger, and so very rarely utilized. The fire does not spread far by itself, but may accelerate due to environmental factors. The spell's effects last for 15-30 minutes/2-3 posts, depending on the environment and the weather. ⋆ Soul Protect - Changes the appearance of his soul to that of either a human or a dog, depending on the circumstances. As he often travels into Death City, he must keep his guard up, and so has trained himself to be capable of a particularly strong form of this spell if he has not transformed into his dog form. It is used roughly half the time, as he most often only keeps humans for company. Whenever he is around other witches, he lowers it, but only if he is on an assignment to infiltrate a coven or flush out a singular witch. When encountering other witches or meisters in the wild or in a town, he keeps it up in order to not attract much attention either way. ⋆ Transform - The spell most often used, Grahame rarely ever comes out of dog form unless he requires a smoke. Because of the frequency which he must slip out of dog form (once or twice per week if he feels particularly attached to his canine features, three to five on weeks he might be more affected by his nicotine cravings) he is capable of keeping this as his primary form with little or no effort indefinitely.
