Heulen
Race: Shifter (Dire Wolf Spirit/As far as he knows, Heulen has always been the way he is.)
Gender: Male
Age: Young Adult
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 230 lbs
Strength: Mighty while in hybrid form. If he is somehow forced out of his hybrid form, Very Strong. (+1 from Warrior Prodigy Bonus Minor, +1 from Adonis level 4, and another +1 when in hybrid form from Ancient Form Minor.)
Physical Description: Over 6 feet tall and weighing around 230 pounds, mostly muscle, Heulen is a beast of a man. Whether he was always like this or if his size is a result of his bonded animal spirit, Heulen can't remember. Maybe the spirit bonded with him due to his physical form. He has long, wild black hair and dark blue, almost black eyes. His skin is tanned from living and working outdoors. His face is slightly diamond shaped and almost handsome with a large, black mustache. While in his hybrid form, he has: Enlarged canines, wolf like ears and tail both covered in black fur, and his fingers and toes end in strong but dull claws. Heulen has no memories of a time where he wasn't in this form and isn't sure himself on how to change back from it.
Personality: Heulen is generally friendly and quick to aid innocents in need but is also merciless to those that find themselves on the opposite side in battle against him. He is also very loyal to those he considers true friends. He seems to be able to consume an unordinarily large amount of food and drink with no drawbacks, but does not require more food than one his size would actually need to be comfortable.
Apparel: Heulen generally wears black pants with no shirt, instead choosing only to cover his torso with his dark cloak.
Backstory: Some time ago, Heulen awoke in the mountains surrounding the Kuanepi empire. The last and most intact memory he has from before waking up was being locked in battle with a powerful knight.
Being glad to be alive, Heulen has begun roaming around the world trying to establish a place in it for himself. From his interactions with others, he has discovered that he may be a member of a race referred to as shifters, though the animal spirit he is bound with is a bit different from some of the more common ones he's encountered. As far as he's been able to figure out, he's bonded to some sort of large canine spirit.

Lvl 1. Your immune system quickly deals with any illness, disease or pathogen.
Lvl 2. Your eyes are clear and piercing, your irises a brilliant shade of their color. A sense of your choice becomes enhanced. BALANCE

Lvl 5. Your body seeks to maintain its perfection, shaping your flesh to superficially close any wounds or breaks while they heal.

Aspect: Warrior Prodigy:
Leveled Talent: Body – Needle Style - The art of landing extremely precise blows to induce certain effects. Techniques that rely on a hitting a precise location can only be done unarmed and/or with weapons with very fine points (blunt or otherwise).
Lvl 0 – Attempting precision strikes in combat can be dangerous to those for whom such things are not second nature- novices of the needle style carefully memorize vast amounts of anatomical information and exact, extremely precise hand motions . You are no exception, and thus possess the equivalent of level 1 and 2 Medical and Anatomy training.
Lvl 1. - 5BP - You learn a striking technique that greatly increases the pain caused by your strikes. Does not work through armor.
Lvl 2. - 15BP - You learn the precise location, angle and technique to strike the lower back that will cause the victims emotions to run out of control for a couple posts. Does not work through thick armor.
Lvl 3. - 30BP - You gain the benefit of either mastering the Scaling Lethality technique or the Shutter Punch and Sight Chop warrior techniques.
Lvl 4. - 50BP - Armor needs to account for the body, which in turn necessitates certain stress points. Your understanding of these points effectively increases the material modifier of your attacks by two when determining whether their armor is damaged or disabled (e.g., you can damage leather armor with a wooden sword as though it were made of iron). Yes, this stacks with the Shell Breaker technique.
Lvl 5. - 75BP - You learn the precise location, angle and technique to strike a blow to the back between the shoulders that will leave the victim stunned, gasping and momentarily unable to breath. Does not work through thick armor.
Lvl 6. - 105BP - You have cultivated a sixth sense for figuring out the weak points of any living thing you see in motion (unusual species, humanoids with old injuries, etc). This ability applies, to a lesser extent, to objects with moving parts as well.
Lvl 7. - 140BP - Learn the precise location, angle and technique to land a stomp to the foot that will weaken and possibly cause the leg become paralyzed for a couple posts. Does not work through armored boots.
Lvl 8. - 180BP - Learn the precise location, angle and technique to apply a nerve pinch at the neck that will render a person unconscious. Can be easily resisted if the target realizes they are being attacked before the pinch is made.
Lvl 9. - 225BP - Twice per encounter you may attempt a precision strike against any reasonable pressure point, body part, etc with flawless accuracy. This does not mean it automatically hits, but the attempt is presumed to be no easier to dodge than a regular swing. If there is disagreement over what hitting the pressure point in question does, go with defender’s interpretation.
Lvl 10. - 275BP - You develop a custom, staff approved technique that represents your personal take on this style.
