PERSONALITY && APPEARANCE
Lars is a violent man, with a taste for blood. He is inclined to actually engage in cannibalism, viewing humans as just another form of prey. He has a criminal bent, enjoying the breaking of laws, and acquisition of ill gotten gains. He is a psychopathic beastman with an insatiable lust for blood and fighting. He has a powerful libido, and has no qualms with being coersive to satisfy these urges. He seems more animal than man, in most cases, but he has the sophistication to understand humor, and colloquialisms at the least. He certainly doesn't come off as cultured, and would vomit if someone implied he did. He likes to keep his speech simple, and has no love of grammar. Intellectual pursuits bore him, save for those dealing with hunting, tracking, and trapping.
Lars is tall, standing well over six feet, and posesses a muscular frame. He is rather imposing to behold, and his mannerisms are feral. He has long, often matted, blond hair, with bushy eyebrows, and a brown eyes. His face is scarred, and his hands and feet are usually dirty, with wicked claws instead of normal fingernails. He has quite pronounced canine teeth, as if he were a jungle cat or wolf rather than a man.
ABILITY IF APPLICABLE
Atavism- He possesses atavistic traits such as claws, fangs, heightened senses, greater proportional strength/agility, and animal instincts. He can uses his claws and fangs as natural weapons, in close quarters combat. His strength is such that he can lift three to four times his own weight with little trouble at all. He can run on all fours much faster than a typical human could standing erect. He can reach speeds up to ten miles per hour in this manner. He can jump and leap up to twenty feet in the air, or across a lateral length of distance. His senses are quite keen, being able to see in low light conditions as if it were perfectly lit, and seeing in the dark to a distance of thirty feet away from his position. He can hear sounds before other people, usually picking up all but the faintest sounds from a mile away. Within sixty feet of his position, it is nearly impossible to sneak up on him, or conceal conversation from his hearing. He can track by scent, having highly developed olfactory senses. He can typically identify an individual by their scent alone. It could be seen as the downside, but this ability comes with feral instincts, such as the desire to hunt and the need to breed being dominant psychological obsessions.
Primal Fear- This ability essentially taps into the basic fear instinct that all animals possess. It triggers the fight/flight adrenaline response in human beings, by means of sonic manipulation of the mind. He emits growls and roars that tap into the psychic primal fear instinct in humans and animals, that usually results in a strong desire to flee the source of the sound. There is the possibility of resisting this ability, and sometimes it produces aggression in the mind, rather than flight.
HISTORY
Not much is really known about Lars' history, because he seems to have been living off the grid most of his life. He was born in Norway, the child of Ragnar and Dagmar Erikson, working class people who moved to the United States when he was young, hoping to have a shot at the American dream. They moved to the northern midwest, where Ragnar found work in the automotive industry.
Lars ran away from home when he was a teenager. He had an aggressive streak that made it hard for him to get along with his parents, and the people in the school system. To make matters worse, he had manifested some strange traits at puberty, that caused him to be harassed by the other children. He was considered a freak for his physical anamolies due to atavism. Living on the street, he made his way through the criminal underworld. First working as a low rent thug for gangsters in Chicago, then moving into the drug scene in New York. He also found work for a time in Las Vegas. He was arrested several times, and served several sentences in maximum security prisons. His rap sheet was a mile wide by the time he was in his thirty, and he was sentenced to a life sentence for murder in 2000. Then, on April 4th, 2010, everything changed. People all over the world manifested abilities, and chaos reigned long enough for a prison break plan to see Lars a free man again.
A year later, he met Brogan Kilvayne, and has been the man's friend ever since. He was in the Pacific Northwest, and they met over a dispute involving rights to a kill. Brogan and Lars fought it out before deciding they were evenly matched, and honor dictated they be comrades.
