Erebus

"Just because I'm not like you doesn't make me a fucking animal, alright?"

- Ouroboros

Backstory
Erebus' mother was a human, and his father was a wolf faunus. His father had been a crime lord in Vale, but had kept that fact hidden from Erebus' mother. When he got an offer to get back into crime, he abandoned her and headed back to the city, leaving her pregnant with Erebus. When he was born, his mother went out into Grimm lands and left him there to die before killing herself. An old faunus living in those lands saw him, and took him back to his cabin to raise him. He could feel the child's abnormally dark aura, and named him Erebus after an old legend he had once heard.

Erebus was a solemn, quiet child. He performed chores for the old faunus and had a relatively quiet young life.

One snowy winter day, when Erebus was eight years old, he and the old man were taking a walk when they were set upon by a pair of Beowolves. The old man attacked them as Erebus fled and climbed up a tree, forced to watch as they ripped the only family he had ever known apart. He had watched the Beowolves hunt before, and knew how they did it. He crawled along the top of a branch above them and jumped down, baring his claws and ripping the back of one's neck. As it bellowed in pain and turned, Erebus gripped its throat in his teeth and tore it out, killing it. As he turned to attack the other, it swiped at his face, scratching him along his left eye. He lunged out with his arms, jabbing his claws into its eyes, and running away as it dropped him in pain. He fled back to the cabin where he had lived with the old man.

He knew that he had to live for himself now. But, years of learning from the experienced old man had taught him how to survive the wilderness, and each day he practiced his combat, watching the Beowolves hunting from the safety of the cabin.

Appearance
Ouroboros usually dresses in dark, somber colors, such as black or grey. He typically wears light body armor on the upper half of his body. He keeps a bandanna around his head, hiding his wolflike ears inside of it. He has striking red eyes and a scar across his left eye, a remnant of a fight he was once in with a Beowolf. His teeth all come down to points, with his canines being somewhat longer than all of his other teeth. He has wild grey hair.

Due to his animal-human duality, he matured quicker than a human would.

Personality
Due to growing up in the wilderness, Erebus has poor social skills. He has learned to adapt to society since joining it, and can function fairly normally, but often has rather awkward reactions with people.

He hides the fact he is faunus, but even without that barrier he's always been an outcast of society. People looking at him can tell that he doesn't fit in, what with his wild grey hair, claws, and sharp teeth.

He can get angry when people imply that he is somehow inferior or would act in a certain way due to his Faunus heritage, particularly those who would say that as part wolf, he's inherently bloodthirsty.

He works well with teams, as the wolf in him appreciates the value of working in a pack.

Weapons and Abilities
The tips of his fingers have sharp, durable claws on them, and he primarily uses those in combat. His teeth come down to points, and he also uses those in combat.

His wolflike nature gives him a superior sense of both hearing and smell, allowing him to find people that much easier.

As opposed to any formal forms of combat, Erebus mainly focuses on dealing as much damage as possible, with clawing lunges, or even grabbing hold of the enemy in his teeth. He focuses more on attacks than anything else, although he dodges quite often and is proficient in it.

His has quite little control of his Aura, normally simply allowing it to go on autopilot, defending him, healing his wounds, and so on. He was born with an abnormally dark Aura, and people who see him tend to pick up on this, making a lot of them dislike or distrust him upon first meeting him.
