Descriptive Appearance;;
Adelaide is a pretty boy with a feminine build and distinctly Asian features. His skin, a soft pinkish white, slightly shows off the toned muscles hiding the strength of the cheerful male. His hair is a beautiful shade of light auburn and falls down in natural semi-curls, which saves him precious time from combing out any cumbersome knots. Usually he keeps some of his hair with hair clips. On the whole, his face is very good-looking.
As a wolf, Adelaide dons a thick fluffy undercoat of pure white, layered by a gradient blending of ginger, gold and butter as an overcoat. His build is fairly lithe, and quite slim compared to his bulkier packmates. He runs in almost mute silence on long and flexible limbs, his paws muffled by the fur in between her digits. Due to his unique limbs, Adelaide can trek through forest and slope with effortless ease for long periods of time - which is good considering his ineptitude at combat. His face, like his tail, is longer, narrower than others. In this form, the blonde's dark brown eyes into a glimmering silver, which often times looks like a pair of miniature moons staring back at you. Glowing with a gentleness, they stare with an innocent curiosity, one hiding the horrors seen in the grim realities of life.
Descriptive Personality;;
Tempered by his time wandering the vast world, Adelaide is an individual not prone to angry bouts at unfavorable circumstances that may come to him. He has seen much and has lived through much, earning him a vast repertoire of lessons he regularly reviews. Among the lessons he's learned, it is patience and pliability that he uses most often with the folks of the Arcton Pack. He is keenly aware of their general dispositions and chooses to be submissive and passive, quietly going along with the throngs of drama that ripple through the group.
Adelaide is, in the simplest terms, a true neutral character. He tends to remain nonjudgmental and uncommitted to any moral, legal, or philosophical system beyond the basic tenets of his own society. Despite this fact, he does not resent being into struggles involving different viewpoints. Adelaide does not lack interest, ambition, or passion--he just values his own well-being and that of friends and loved ones. He is willing to struggle passionately on behalf of himself or others close to him.
He will keep his word if it is in his best interest. He may attack an unarmed foe if he feels it necessary. He will not kill, but may harm an innocent. He may use torture to extract information, but never for pleasure. He will never kill for pleasure, only in self-defense or in the defense of others. Adelaide may even use poison as long as there is an overwhelming need. He will help those in need if it is in his best interest and works well alone or in a group. He responds well to higher authority until that authority attempts to use the law to hamper his ability to pursue his own self-interest. He will follow the law unless breaking it is in his best interest and he's reasonably sure that he will not be caught. He will never betray a family member, comrade, or friend unless the situation is dire. He is indifferent to the concepts of self-discipline and honor, finding them useful only if they can be used to advance their own interests.
He is concerned with his own well-being and that of the group or organization which aids him. He may behave in a good manner to those he considers friends and allies, but will only act maliciously against those who have tried to injure him in some way. For the rest, he does not care. He doesn't wish ill on those he does not know, but Adelaide also doesn't care when he hears of evil befalling them. Better for others to suffer the evil than him and his allies. If an ally is in need, Adelaide will aid him or her, out of genuine love or because he may be able to count on that ally a little more in the future. If someone else is in need, he will weigh the options of the potential rewards and dangers associated with the act. If an enemy is in need, he will ignore them or take advantage of their misfortune.
Descriptive History;;
It was an odd thing, being a werewolf in a family of anti-lycanthropes. Though his parents had just as much wolf in them as he did, they completely rejected their culture, instead determined to raise him as a normal human. As a child he was scolded whenever he inquired about his more wolfish roots. They were always so adamant on him knowing as little about werewolves as they could. The reasons behind such actions would never be revealed to the poor, confused Adelaide.
At the impressionable age of 9, Adelaide had his first run-in with a wolf pack. They were a modest 18 in number, decked in travelling gear and eyes brimming with stories of untold lands. They recognized him as one of their kind and happily enlightened him of the werewolf culture he was always denied. He learned they were a nomad pack. They traveled all over the world for adventure and game, never sticking around longer than a couple of months. They liked running through the landscapes of the places they went to, hunting local game and sleeping in the wilderness as wolves when they could.
Their lifestyle was, no surprise, extremely appealing to a sheltered youth such as Adelaide. It took him no time at all to pack up what little he had and join the nomads. His parents were against his decision and warned him he would not be welcomed back if he left. Needless to say his departure from his birth home would not be a fond memory. The pack leader, Albrecht von Abendroth Bahl, took him in and adopted him as a son, promptly re-naming him as such. Adelaide had no problem with the name change whatsoever. He spent the next sixteen years traveling with the nomad pack. He would see and experience countless things, both good and bad. He had truly never felt more alive than when he was with them. The wisdom he gained was tempered by the guidance and advice of his packmates, many of whom had been travelling for decades on end. They helped shape him into the lycan he is today.
The exact reason why he left such a wonderful pack is something Adelaide has never divulged. The man always obfuscates when asked about it, dancing his words around till the conversation tangents far from the original question. All he is willing to tell is that he came upon the Gates of Nestor while wandering, was let in, and has since taken up residence in the cold, arctic land.
