Age ≡ ŀ Eighteen

Gender ≡ŀ Male

Species ≡ ŀ Shapeshifter

Animal Forms ≡ ŀ Clouded Leopard, Red Wolf, Harpy Eagle, Barn Owl, Thresher Shark, and Saltwater Crocodile. Because of the colour of his hair, all his forms have a crimson tint to their fur/ feathers/ scales. Though some have more of a tint than others.

Base Form ≡ ŀ Human

Appearance ≡ ŀ Acheron has dark green eyes like the colour of weathered jade with veins of gold around his pupils. His hair colour -- as seen below -- is a dark crimson and very long in the back. He has to braid it slightly for it to be manageable. He is rather tall, standing at six foot even, if he is not wearing shoes. With sneakers on, his height increases by about an inch. Acheron is very lean; not overly muscular. But lean. He is also wiry and quick of movement despite his tall fr
ame. Acheron is 155 lbs., but none of it is fat. Although you can't see this in the picture below, Acheron wears pretty comfortable Wrangler jeans that allow a lot of movement. The jeans are a faded blue with worn knees. He also wears black Nike sneakers. Acheron also has certain features that have been changed or added to his appearance. He has feathers in his hair and soft, downy ones on his cheek bones. Scales cover his lower forearms and hands as the nails on his fingers curve out into claws. And his canines are slightly longer and sharper than the average person's.

Personality ≡ ŀ How to describe Acheron's personality... Well, if it could be summed up in a few words, it would be aggressive when the time calls, very protective of anything he cherishes, and extremely silent unless he has something he needs to share with somebody. But that just scratches the surface of Acheron. He is more complex than most people. Probably more complex than anybody he knows that is because he is constantly keeping secrets. Secrets about his past which he refuses to mention, about his family, and about himself. Though, once somebody does break that hard outer shell he has, they will find a very different person beneath. Acheron has a kind heart and an urge to please anybody he is loyal to. But that does not make him a pushover. He is head strong and won't do something he is not comfortable doing.

History ≡ ŀ Acheron was born under a different name. He was James Pekatris with two loving parents. Well, until he reached his third birthday. He had shape-changed into a red wolf, quite by accident. But his parents were disturbed by this and disgusted that this creature could be their son. So, they arranged to have him “killed” through a freak car accident. Then, he was renamed Acheron Styxx after the Greek rivers of Woe and Hate that dwell in the underworld and was kept in their dark basement; locked inside a small metal cage. They fed him… if a bit infrequently. He was also kept hydrated and was taken out of the cage for the briefest of bathroom breaks or the occasional beating. Eventually, Acheron was left alone somewhere around his fifth birthday. His “parents” stopped feeding him, beating him, giving him water, and taking him out to go to the bathroom. So, basically, Acheron was living in his own filth as he starved. He had known they had another kid since Acheron often heard children’s laughter. When he turned fifteen, Acheron managed to escape from the cage. Ten years of shapeshifting in the metal contraption caused Acheron to become more aware of the animals he could change into. So, he changed into a clouded leopard to slip through the bars and the small window. When he wa outside, Acheron shape-shifted into a harpy eagle and flew off. For a while, Acheron lived on his own in the different forms he could change into. Eventually, he came upon a small family of werewolves. He watched them, and when he turned seventeen, the family found him. At first, one of their younger kids challenged him, thinking Acheron was a lone wolf. It was during the fight that Acheron shape-changed into four of his six animal forms before having his ass handed to him in his human form. But before the young werewolf ended Acheron’s life, the mother interrupted. She invited Acheron to come live with them and remarked that anybody who can shapeshift into multiple animals was a true gift from the gods. He still lives with the family.

Family ≡ ŀ His birth family is something Acheron doesn’t want to remember, but he has to. His mother was Soteria Pekatris. His father was Theodus Pekatris. And the younger sibling he never met would be Marcus Pekatris. His adoptive family is a different matter; he wants to remember them always. The mother is Annisa Siren. The father is Kyle Siren. And their three children are Logan Siren [oldest], Mellony Siren [middle], and Viktor Siren [youngest].

Other ≡ ŀ None.
