Varúlfur

**Varúlfur** is a fearsome Rujian werewolf monster created in Ruj thanks to the madman scientist known as Zeal. Fueled by unending pain and uncontrollable rage, this wolf-like monstrosity would gladly tear his prey into shreds to satisfy his hunger for blood.

## Biography

### The Uncaged Monster of Ruj

Varúlfur is a monster who hunts the grey alleys of Ruj. Transformed by agonising experiments, his massive body is fused with an intricate system of chambers and pumps, machinery filling his veins with alchemical rage. Bursting out of the shadows, he preys upon those criminals who terrorise the city's depths. He is drawn to blood, and driven insanely mad by its scent. None who spill it can escape him.

## Personality

While not much is known about Varúlfur's past life, it can confirmed that despite his role as a rebel, Varúlfur still cared about the well-being of others and sought different ways to better himself, with Zeal even describing him as a "good man". After Zeal's experiments, however, little remained of the old Varúlfur or his memories, as he was replaced with a bloodthirsty, monstrous creature of pure bloodlust.

Varúlfur is a creature suffering in constant pain and wants desperately to remember his past life, but alas his chemical mutations prevent him from seeking this out. It seems he prefers to hunt by the shadows, stalking his prey from darkness. This could also be because it makes him feel superior and create a sense of intimidation to his quarry.

## Abilities

Once a man, desperate and willing to do whatever to survive the Grays of Ruj, Varúlfur hunted the other unfortunate souls wandering the wastes. He doesn't remember what led to him being strapped to a cold, metal table in a sordid lab, but he'll never forget what happened to him there. The mad scientist Zeal spent weeks mercilessly removing chunks of his nevanity and replacing it with chemical pumps and retractable claws.

When his body finally gave out it was disposed of in the Gray dump. It was at that point Zeal's augmentations began to truly work, replacing the dead tissue with stronger flesh and supplanting all emotions with rage. Varúlfur's world became that of bloodlust, the beast had been released.

* **Superhuman Senses**: Varúlfur's senses have been upgraded to the maximum extent. As a result, his abilities in sight, hearing, taste, smell, sound, and touch are incredibly amplified. However, his smelling abilities are extremely predatory, as he is capable of smelling blood from far away, and he favours that ability to kill wounded criminals.

* **Ultranevian Physiology**: Varúlfur is an ultranevian, a nevian enhanced by artificial means due to experiments. As a result of his monstrous form, he is immensely stronger, tougher, faster, agile and more aggressive than the average man.
	+ **Superhuman Strength**: He has immense strength. Capable of destroying steel with his bare hands and ripping a man apart with no effort. His brute strength also extends to his teeth and lower body, as he can bite through virtually anything and has proved to leap five times higher than an ordinary person.
	+ **Superhuman Durability**: He is extremely durable, and his modified body allows him to heal at a very accelerated rate.
	+ **Superhuman Speed**: The criminals of Ruj fear his unforgiving speed, and those under his pursuit will suffer immediately.
	+ **Superhuman Agility**: Varúlfur's agility is extremely high. He can easily evade high speed projectiles such as rockets, arrows, bullets and even straight beams fired from linear guns.
	+ **Healing Factor**: The system of tubes grafted into his body pumps him with adrenaline and blood, allowing him to rapidly heal even from the most life threatening injuries sustained in a fight.

* **Master Hunter**: He is an extremely skilled hunter, even surpassing the robotic Meviksa Predators.

## Trivia

* He has immense levels of superhuman strength. Zeal confirms that he was able to tear apart a steel door with ease and destroy a man with no effort at all.
* His olfactory sensors are insanely modified.
* *Olfactory lamellae* enables him to smell blood from far away. Zeal somehow added that to his body.
