Jake Thomas, Homeless Werewolf

Summary: Jake’s parents died on a hunting trip when he was young. He thinks they might have been weres killed for poaching but has no proof. Raised in a succession of foster homes, he eventually fled the varied abuses from them for a life on the street when he was 12. He spent the next 3 years doing booze and drugs, desperately trying to ignore the strange feelings and dreams he was having. On his fifteenth birthday he was initiated by a friend into the joys of sex and changed for the first time. She died of fright and he fled the city in horror, but ended at another when the need for drugs was too strong for him.
Jake has spent the last 5 years desperately trying to control what he was. By the time he finally learned of the price he’s had to pay for his control, it was too late. He’s managed to fight off the drugs and booze largely but his control over when he changes is fragile at the best of times and he knows he’s burned up too much of his life to keep going much longer.
Description: Jake Thomas is a tall, thin 20 year old with dark hair and haunted pale eyes. His skin is tanned but few people realise its because his grand mother was Amerindian. He wears very grungy clothing with a visible dagger in the boot and a silver earring in his left ear.
Something Shady About Past: He's wanted up north for killing someone when he was 15 and one or two of her friends fleeing the scene. He doesn't recall killing the friends.
Personality: (Sagittarius) Jake is a drifter who finds it hard to make attachments to others and believes people should be as free as possible. He tends to be wary of offered friendship but always pays back his debts.
Obsession: Control. Jake believes that controlling the “beast” inside him is the only thing that keeps him human.
