Morten
NAME: Morten
AGE: 35
SOCIAL CLASS: Outcast
STATUS: Lone Wolf
OCCUPATION: Wolf in the Beastshow of the Circus
TYPE OF CREATURE: Werewolf
PLAY-BY: Bastian Emig
BLOOD STATUS: Muggleborn
HAIR: dirty brown, unkept down to his waist
SKINTONE: greyish pale
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 5'10, haggard
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: scars all over his body from transformations
OVERALL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: It is not hard to see that Morten is a werewolf. The transformations and everything that came with it have left more than scars on his body. His skin is of an unhealthy greyish pale colour as he is often ill due to the wolf affecting his immune system more than it does with others. He stays mostly indoors (intents) as the Circus often means night shifts and even when it does not Morten goes after the same sleeping pattern, liking the night much better.
His brown eyes are often bloodshot and his long hair which curls a little is often in tangles if nobody tells him to brush it. Morten's body is covered in scars from his own transformations and from other werewolves and there's a scorchmark on his left upper arm and shoulder from where the Fire Artist burned him when he bit him. It is not very prominent since the wolf in him healed it but it is visible nonetheless.
Due to being sick often and his wolf preventing him from eating his cheeks look hollowed and his body haggard.
NON-MAGICAL SKILLS: From his years on the run and in solitude Morten knows how to survive on anything and can defend himself. He can craft what he needs for living and his hands are skilled at many different tasks.
MAGICAL SKILLS: He has not used a wand or magic in general since it was broken
WEAKNESSES: Morten can become very quiet and shut himself off when he feels like it. Special circumstances are needed to gain his trust and be included in his circle of solitude. He does not like much speaking and rather lets acts speak for him.
STRENGTHS: When Morten has connected with someone he has good instincts on what the other wants or needs which may be due to his wolf. However this does not include twisted words or anything else verbal. He is good at reading people's body language. Morten has a good memory, photographic at times which he rarely puts to use when he should.
QUIRKS & HABITS: Morten can be seen licking his lips often to the point that his tongue even touches his nose. It might be a wolfish habit or just the desire to have a wet nose.
OVERALL PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION: Morten might appear like a very sad man. He hardly smiles and he craves for love even though he does not remember what it is like to love and be loved. He is quiet and a man of few words but can bond with someone on a deeper level which does not require words. He can bond best in his wolf form and who is with him during the transformation and survives has good chances of becoming his friend. However Morten is not all sad. He can share a laugh with those he knows and trusts as he does not consider his life all bad. He has a very strong survival instinct.
BIRTH PLACE: Korinth, Denmark

SIGNIFICANT OTHER: Concordia Quinn as his 'trainer'

CHARACTER HISTORY: Morten was born into a muggle family of simple fishermen. The family got by alright with the money the father made by selling fish and the mother teaching little children in the lores of the church. He was the middle child of five and played on the streets with his siblings. Their mother taught them all to read and write but only his two older brothers could be sent to school while he and his two younger sisters had to stay at home. But Morten was alright with this since some of his friends were also staying behind so he had someone to play with.
When he turned eleven Morten received a letter admitting him to Beauxbatons due to him being a muggleborn. His parents were very surprised since they had not noticed the magic Morten had displayed in secret, and his mother was both frightened and appalled. His father however was more intrigued and wanted to send Morten away to school, paying for it with his savings.
At Beauxbatons he had great trouble however due to not speaking the language and being able to read and write just so. Morten soon became a loner, an outcast of sorts since he was so different and one of his wanderings in solitude led him off school grounds. Deep in his own thoughts he didn't notice the time and night had fallen when he made his way back, but he would not return to the school that night. From behind a row of bushes a ghastly creature sprang at him. It happened too fast for Morten to register what was happening, even if he had known about werewolves. Through the pain of the numerous bites he received he could only make out a distant howl and the bites suddenly stopped, Morten thought he was dying.
When he woke up he found himself aching even more and he could see his wand next to him, his brand new wand, broken. It was a long way back to the school and he felt like it took years to drag himself towards help. But once he reached the front doors and a teacher finally found him, the moment had come from where it went only downwards in his life. Reading the signs screaming up at him the teacher, frightened of the creature and fearing for the other students' safety, took the boy and apparated as far as he possibly could, only to abandon him on the southern side of the Alps.
Morten was greatly weakened and he was on the brink of death, but he found shelter not far from where the teacher had disposed of him where he stayed and lived on everything which came too close to him. He wanted to survive and to go back to his family as soon as he could.
Once the full moon was several days past and his wounds had closed Morten left the cave and found a town where he lived on begging and the mercy of people who let him stay in their stables for a few nights. It was a miserable existence but Morten, thinking of his family, made do. Finally a kind old lady took him in and tried to understand him without words as he couldn't understand her and had not spoken a word so far. Morten seemed to finally recover and he was getting much better until the next full moon came around and he unknowingly killed the muggle woman in his wolfform.
Shocked by what he had done Morten tried not to get too close to people again as he did not know what had happened to him but once he noticed when he changed forms and knew how to calculate when it would happen, he started to trust himself again.
This way he lived for a few years, the child from the streets gaining sympathy, until he became too old for this to work. Instead he joined other poors to look for work every day to get by. He gained acquaintances among those and eventually, after disappearing for a few full moons, he noticed another leaving the group as well. It seemed fate, Morten was sure, that he had met another who suffered from the same madness as him. From then on the two disappeared together and hunted together, the bonding helping Morten embrace what he had become. He noticed that even when the full moon was still far away there was more of the wolf in him now, it was like this was who he was.
For a few years the two of them travelled together and lived off anything they could get their hands on but eventually they were found by beast hunters and cornered in the little shack they had built themselves. His friend was killed but Morten made it out barely alive and fleeing for his life.
For some time Morten went into hiding in the mountains where there was scarse population but he was missing some company such as he had had before. To be honest, even though he was an adult of 23 years now, he missed his family and wanted to know if they were alright. He then started a slow journey up north, travelling from one village to the next, asking for the way until after a little more than a year he reached his home town again. Morten spied on his family from afar, on his parents and younger sisters but hardly recognised them and found that he did not want to meet them and see their disappointment and fear in their eyes. It was something else he was missing but he did not know what it was. But at least he did know now that his home was no longer in Denmark but in Italy where he had grown up, hard as it had been.
The journey back was much slower than the way to his family had been as he went looking left and right what he might be missing, but reached Italy unsuccessful. He went on looking for work and found it at a Circus where he was taken in and it felt again as if he had company by people who were just as unwanted by everyone else as him, or at least a little for who of them was a dangerous creature. In the company of others who were similar but still different he could embrace the wolf again and lost more of his humanity with every moon cycle. His task as one of the beast attractions helped matters along and it seemed like his main work, more so than helping set up the tent and craft the set-up inside.
It was probably his most wolfish moment to date when, during one show the beast tamer let him lose on purpose and he bit the fire artist in the leg, going after him like a real wolf, trying to hold him with his claws but being scared away by fire. Morten could not bring himself to feel regret since he knew he had no control over the wolf and no liking for the man either. For him it was rather a lucky 'coincidence' since he liked it very much that he finally had someone who took care of him and was with him during his transformation, even if only in the show. Having more of that person to himself was what he wanted.
