Grayell « Thread Started on Aug 5, 2011, 4:01pm »
Name: Grayell Race: Human. Mostly. Age: 35... by conventional standards. Description: After a colorful and perhaps tragic history, Grayell is a Garou of determined will and somewhat exemplary physical prowess. He is an imposing figure at 6'5'' inches and weighs in the vicinity of 250 lbs, much of it purpose built, it not aged and worn muscle. He is somewhat unique if only due to his rather long, silver/white hair; but regardless he tends to stand out due to his boisterous nature and confident demeanour. He is very reassured and exudes his alpha status, at times unwilling to compromise his viewpoint unless with a trusted friend.
He is larger again when in Garou form and as white as snow when the wolf, his blue eyes always persistent and quite unmistakable. A wild man by most standards, he is perhaps the single greatest influence to cause Wistvale to develop and change of recent times. Whilst he holds station in town, he spends much of his time in the surrounding wilds and lives there, with his beloved Chosen, the Garou woman Kiko.
