BIOGRAPHY

Lia is not the victim of an unfortunate coupling, nor an experiment, or even a spell. A supposed "curse" drove her sudden transformation, and nothing more. Unknown to her parents, a happy couple living in the superhero heavy Wayport city, the family carried a curse, one that would inflict itself on all 13th sons. A tale connected to the Amazon, the legend had lost many details except for one detail: the son would transform into a monster on his 13th birthday. Hideous and twisted, it would be a threat to all that lived. [break][break]

If only the family legend specified 13th child ever, or that females weren't exempt, they might have known to house her in a church on her 13th birthday, sparing the transformation with a blessing. Alas, nothing goes as planned. [break][break]

Their daughter transformed into some hideously furious lizard beast right before their eyes, and absconded into the night, never to be found again...not by their eyes anyhow. She found herself a bedtime legend and fear of pets, the metaphorical Boogieman that everyone had seen but nobody believed in any capacity except in how she could harm their pets. A glorified jackal, by all intents and purposes. She is fine with such anominity, it allowed her to hunt freely. [break][break]

Her mind was changed, but still Lia. She knew she had come from two human parents, and couldn't be convinced to harm them, even keeping attackers away from the in her nightly hunts. Her changes manifested as a new understanding on what she was, Lobisomem, and that she was both very hungry and that this city was her home. Thus, it deserved protection. She craved to devour any and all enemies that presented themselves, to take everything and use it in protection. [break][break]

Still a whispered legend of the alleyways, Lobisomem is nonetheless growing in all capacities, even in heroism.

CHARACTER POWERS

✰ LOBISOMEM [break]
Monster Physiology. [break][break]

Lia have turned into a Lobisomem. This transformation, once done, cannot be reversed. She have transformed into a lizard-like beast with sharp claws, a huge maw, and a mixture of black and red scales.[break][break]

This creature is more comparable to a monster than any animal. She can run at speeds of 50 mph in short bursts and is built to capture and dispatch prey as quick as possible. Therefore, her bite can break bone and her claws break through wood without damage. She has a predator's instinct and can judge whether something is easy prey, and how to hunt it, within first meeting. She can operate at night as easily, if not more, as in day and can climb most structures without any trouble. Finally, as long as she eats, her stamina is near inexhaustible, the better for long hunts and chases. [break][break]

Unfortunately, the weaknesses are clear. Her appearance doesn't blend in well among humans and she doesn't have much knowledge in how to talk in complex sentences. She is basically an intelligent beast and possesses no knowledge on technology or magic. [break][break]

Enhanced Senses: As a creature built to hunt, Lobisomem possesses a sense of smell comparable to a dog's and can track sounds up to a mile. She also has great night vision. [break][break]

X - She is overwhelmed by loud noises or bright lights. Her vision lacks detail, in light, everything is blurry. [break][break]

Durability: Her scales make attacks harm her much less than most humans, able to turn a knife and take the shock of a blow that would break iron. Her bones are similarly durable, a testament to the danger her kind is expected to hunt. [break][break]

X - She must eat constantly to maintain this health, and will lose about half of her durability if she fails to eat in even a day. These defenses also do nothing against elemental attacks. [break][break]

Feral Mind: Her instincts and intuition are top notch already, but when in danger, Lobisomem's basic abilities increase. Until her adrenaline dies down, Lobisomem's strength increases until it is about half more than what she is usually capable of, and she can mantain her top speed without stopping. [break][break]

X - Her primary concern in this state is to either get away from what is scaring her, or kill it. She will be exhausted and need to eat afterwards, eating whatever is near regardless of her alliances or feelings. This happens only when she thinks she will die, she cannot activate this ability willingly, and with her predator instinct, it is very difficult to put her in this state of mind. [break][break]

↣ Consumptive Growth [break]
Consumptive Growth [break][break]

The Lobisomem doesn't just eat to sustain itself, but to grow. Whenever Lobisomem consumes something, she can immediately turn it to assisting her body. The most obvious is to grow larger. She can make herself larger, longer, even grow new structures or organs if needed.[break][break]

However, all changes she makes to herself are permanent, and she must eat even more to compensate even with something small like growing longer claws. She also must eat a form of life and, the less complex, the less she can use it. Only eating a powerful being would give her the ability to make a new structure right away. So this power doesn't see much use. [break][break]

Regeneration: She can use any flesh she eats to replace any lost flesh. [break][break]

X - The same limitation on complex life applies here. Any blood loss is not recoverable and, if there is anything in the way, she cannot replace the flesh (ex: she is impaled). She cannot use her own flesh as a source. [break][break]

↣ Weakness Detection [break]
Weakness Detection [break][break]

Lobisomem is a beast intended to hunt all living things. Thus, she can guess at what is the weakness of her enemies or prey is with limited information from her senses. She can determine what is the equivalent of a throat, a lung, a weak leg, to a creature even far removed from what she's seen before. [break][break]

This ability only applies to biological equivalences. She cannot guess at anything magical or elemental, and her guesses are not perfect, she can draw the wrong conclusion. This ability only means she is more likely to guess correctly on instinct.
