Appearance

---

He’s got sort of a surfer guy build, not very big, but still enough to hold his own. The kind of build where you can’t see how muscly he is until he strips down for you. He’s only a couple of inches shy of six feet, his hair is messy in a sort of a short-ish shag, and he’s normally cleanly shaven. His eyes are a pretty blue.


Eye color: Blue
Hair color: Dark Brown, with copper undertones.
Height: 5’10
Weight: 150 lbs
Scars: On his stomach there is a large scar, where a werewolf bit a huge chunk out. His belly button managed to survive (somehow). On each side of his belly you can make out the general bite mark mold of what bit him.

Personality

---

Sort of obnoxious ; He can be loud, and very pushy. But he wasn’t the schoolyard bully as a child; no instead he was the little bugger trying to fight the bullies off but always ended up getting his ass handed to him. So he never lets others push him around, and will always tend to want to be center of attention.

Slight Optimist; Zander is a goofy guy, and he always was. It didn’t matter how many fights he got into or how beat up he was, or how shitty he felt – he always managed to keep a crooked smile on his face when he came home. Older now, he’s the same way, but doesn’t need to tell his parents he’s fine, or does he need to please anyone around him... but he doesn’t really allow himself to fall into a slump. So when lonely he goes out to stir up some trouble, instead of drowning himself in alcohol like he wants to.

Mouthy; He has a sailor’s mouth on him, and he will always say what’s on his mind with a few colorful words along with it. “Shit” is his favorite and he struggles to keep it in check when around elderly or important people. But with jerks he doesn’t know, the words fly from his mouth.

Other tidbits; Zander… is fiercely loyal when he finds someone who can put up with him. Zander tends to be pretty persistent with said friends, calling them pretty much every time he wants to go out; “Fuck off, I’m already on my way to pick you up”. He will be the guy to tell you that you’ve got shit on your face or “Holy shit dude, you look like shit.”

History

---

- Born to a middle class family, pretty normal.
- His father was very hard working, did all he could for his family. His mother had a lot of problems on her side of the family, mingled with a bit of her own (depression, anxiety etc). She was also a very paranoid jealous woman.
- His mother would always be on his father’s back about something, accusing him of wanting to leave her, or him being with another woman instead of working late like he says etc.
- It was very tame at first, but as she got older so did her paranoia.
- Zander was at first oblivious to his parents issues.
- But they started to fight a lot more around when he turned 10, after that, things just fell apart.
- His mother called for a divorce, and Zander was somehow left in his mother custody.
- Zander was heavily effected, but kept a good face for his parents, especially his father.
- His brother Damon moved out, deciding to live with some family across town since he was taking this especially hard.
- He used to be the good quiet child in school, but as soon as his parents divorced, he suddenly opened up and began to say whatever was on his mind. It got him beat up a lot by the other boys… mainly because he didn’t like them… and told them so.
- But he eventually found that… he didn’t need to be sad. Sure he didn’t appreciate his mother too much, but because his dad told him to not hate her because of what happened… he moved on. Shit happens, move on.
- And so he did, inwardly still very bitter… but since he was able to live where-ever he can visit both parents as often as he likes.
- His mother actually… got better eventually. She realized she made a lot of mistakes, but she finds she is more at peace without a man in her life. Zander is only happy she’s feeling better.
- Zander was actually turned on his way back to his apartment after work one day. He decided to walk the half hour long trek instead of hopping on a bus. A large ugly beast pretty much jumped him and tore up his stomach. He was lucky he this was on the side of the road, so while the wolf was trying to tear out his intestines, a large truck zoomed by and scared the beast off. He didn't waste anytime to question his sudden 'luck' and scrambled up.
- ANYWAY Zander, filled with all the adrenaline walked to the nearest house and… collapsed on their doorstep after knocking.
- They must have been nice people, because he woke in the hospital a day later… with the biggest bill ever.
- First full moon.. scared him. But he found that as he got close to finishing the transformation… there was this sudden energy as the beast took over. But he made it out okay, with only a trashed apartment.


IC;

- Zander hit the bars after work one friday, blood on fire as he was itching to do something. In the corner of the bar, he spots a sorry looking sap in the corner craddling his booze. Of course Zander being Zander... shoves his nose into the guy's business... and ends up getting his ass handed to him. Of course he isn't ashamed to say he lost. (Good as Dead)

- After Zanders silly display of submission. Silas takes him home to fix him up. For an angry fucker, Silas was a good person... after fixing his face he lets Zander crash there for the night (Zander swearing he would leave in the morning). BUT HE DIDN'T, kinda. Instead after finding his place stupidly empty, he gets back into his car and picks up some food instead... since Silas didn't have any at all. When he got back, he forced Silas out of bed... and managed to get the guy to make him breakfast. It would be at this point that Zander realizes that he really enjoys talking/bothering Silas. He wasn't really looking for friendship... or anything. (Oh Friday Nights)

- The next weekend rolled around and Zander decided to pay Silas a surprise visit (texting him when he got there). Except all he found at Silas was this guy... and Silas was at work. It was awkward at first. But Zander settled in talking with Mattie about how they both met Silas. It ended up with them playing a drinking game.... which caused the werewolf and hunter to get completely sloshed. All was well... because Silas came home to pick up the mess <3 (This storm brings strange loyalties)

- After getting laid off for a couple of days from work, and with it being so close to full moon he was rather restless. So he decided to take his guitar with him to the nearby park. After playing a song, he opened his eyes to see Silas. After some playful chatting, and hearing Silas play his piece.. Zander asked if Silas wanted to come over. It ended up as Silas stating he would be at Zander's after work. To his surprise Silas did end up showing up. Zander had made them a bunch of finger food snacks, and they ended up playing Call of Duty (mainly so Zander could laught at Silas). Things got... heavy, and soon after a bit embarrassing for Zander. His wolf... that he used to get along so well with made it known that he wants more that what Zander could provide. (Chasing the Sun)

- Full moon is here, and Zander may find himself in the presence of another wolf this time... with the company of his new drinking friend. Of course Matthias had no idea about Zander being a wolf... so it made things a little awkward. As soon as he stumbled through the door he was already too far gone. Mattie was lucky he had Silas there to play guard dog, Zander wasn't too comfortable with his surroundings so didn't challenge Silas when threatened. (Something in the dark)

- A couple of days after full moon, Zander showed up at Silas' with coffee in hand. He wanted to take Silas to where he normally goes for full moon, in case Silas ever wanted to come with him one month. Of course when they got there, Zander allowed himself to let go a little and give in. (From Yesterday)

Relationships

---

Mum; I kind of wish you could have sucked it up for dad.. but i'm happy you're getting better.
Dad; Sucks you're not with mom, but what can you do? I appreciate everything you have ever done for me... even when you weren't supposed to see me.

Silas; You are way too much fun to bother, and I really like being around you.
Mattie; You kicked my ass. Bra-fucking-vo.
