Ryan Winslow

**General Information**

Ryan Winslow is a 23-years-old Werewolf Barbarian who has met everyone in the current party except for Oleni Metsk and Vra Naïlo. He is from Margenna, Noriacum, which is where his family still resides. He encounters the party after joining a caravan heading west in an effort to find the man who murdered his little sister. He is AMAB and goes by he/him/his pronouns. Presently, with his sister avenged, he peacefully left the party in Londavargo after reuniting with his now-husband Lenny, choosing to settle down with him and grow his own family.

**Appearance**

Ryan was born with vitiligo. His base skin tone is tan, but where the vitiligo has affected him, his skin is more cream-colored. These sections are based mostly near his joints with a few stray splotches across his thigh, face, chest, and back. There are various scars scattered around his body from regular mishaps, playfights with his siblings, and his adventures with the party. His eyes are an aurum color with round pupils. In his human form, he has small fangs and claws. Additionally, his wolf ears and tail are still present. His hair is poorly bleached, leaving it a strange sort of blond (which doesn't transfer over to his half-shifted or full-wolf form). In order, he stands at 6'7" (201cm), 7'5" (226cm), and 5'10" (178cm). In full wolf form, from snout tip to rear, his length is 13'4" (406cm). His half-shifted form is anthropomorphic with digitigrade legs while his full-wolf form looks like a standard, albeit abnormally-large dire wolf.

His clothing usually only consists of a black leotard and red bandana tied around his neck. Sometimes, he has plain, white cloth wrapped around his hands/wrists and feet/ankles. He wears no shoes, having grown up without them. Whenever he's in public or trying to go undercover and doesn't want his characteristic features to be spotted, he'll wear a black, oversized cloak that parts down the front.

**Personality**

Ryan, like the stereotypical wolf, is very loyal and family-oriented. He goes beyond to protect those he values and is hit hard by betrayal. Unless he or others he cares about are wronged profoundly enough, he would find it hard to retaliate against someone he loves. While he isn't overly critical of everyone, he is quick to trust his gut on whether or not someone is trustworthy. If he doesn't get bad vibes, though, he finds the good qualities in them without fail. He's a very emotional being, feeling deeply and strongly about many people and situations. He has a large soft spot for children and strives to protect and entertain them to the best of his ability. He's also very reckless and, while sometimes assessing a situation or opponent before jumping in, doesn't always consider all of the factors, which leads him into shit more often than not— thankfully for him, his brute strength and ample stamina usually lead to his victory. One of his more memorable traits, however, is his libido. He's notorious, both in his home town and the other places he's visited, for being insatiable towards any other willing, legal partner. Having found a proper mate now, though, that part of him has settled into something more loving and less promiscuous.

**Family & Backstory**

His immediate, living family consists of his mother Annaline (F45), father Charles (M48), two older brothers, and his six younger siblings. In order Joseph (M28), Nathan (M25), Roffe (N20), Lorna & Baize (F16), Aster (GF14), Marco (M10), and Diana (F5). When growing up, Ryan and his elder brothers were tasked with helping to raise their younger siblings, so he has experience with raising and taking care of children. His family was all very close-knit people and know each other better than most families do. Two years prior to when Ryan met with the party, his little sister Morgan (F5 when she died, would now be 7) was found raped and murdered in his hometown. It left his entire family distraught and was the catalyst for Ryan leaving to follow the scent trail of the murderer. The only strife he has within the family is with Nathan, who actively sabotaged the relationship he had with a paladin prior to leaving his hometown.

LOL He's DEAD!!
