Character's Personality:


Constantine is tried and true, a deeply devoted man who uses everything he possesses to help and assist others. He is very defensive and courageous, not to mention fearless. He is brave enough, but he has no faults of arrogance or cockiness, and does not believe in possessing an ego. His ego is softened by time and placed elsewhere to never be handled nor sought. It is not power, he wishes to achieve, but yet the responsibility of others to care for. Constantine is very openly honest and has always great advice to share to others, he is an attentive listener, and an even awesome friend. He has been around awhile, but that does not mean Constantine doesn't know how to have fun, he most certainly does. He has exceptional fun; he always finds a way to make things interesting, when someone leasts expects it. Constantine is trustworthy, but over the years, he has learned to gather the evidence before he trusts anyone.

Always innovative and intelligent, Constantine is always thinking, always imaginging. He is always thinking about the outcome. Constantine uses emotions quite well to his advantage. Without emotions, one cannot fight nor amuse others. He uses his emotions to however they are needed in necessity. Constantine does not flaunt his power, and does not respect those who believe flaunting arrogantly is the way of life. He will put someone in their place, if they act outrightly in front of him, or to people who call for respect. Constantine is old-fashioned, he is all about the respect for those who are higher in rank than others who aren't; and demand that need of respect and loyalty. It is the code of any knight that must be adherently followed.

What Makes Them Special?


Special Talents:

Constantine as a child was trained to use the sword and basic combat tactics. His expertise of war tactics and stragedy unfurled as he grew older. His skills increased as a soldier, and became quite profound and recognized throughout the Roman region as well as the East. He used these very war tactics during trying periods of his life, exercising his ability to create and manipulate situations that absolutely call for it. This is the same skill and defense Constantine possesses in the present age, using it to safeguard other shapeshifters and their strongholds.


Occupation: Constable

Powers:

GENERAL LYCAN: Increased Strength, Heightened Senses, Increased Speed, Self Healing. ALPHA: Partial Shift, Summon, Lift Burden, Demand Loyalty, Swift Shift (Human) TITLED: Silence, Partial Silver Immunity, Divine Control, God's Right Hand, Shield the Call, Correlation. LEOPARD RACIAL: Carpe Diem, Captivate, Acrobatic, Anase, Tabula Rasa

Strengths:

Constantine's most prominent strength comes from his need to help others, and the inner connection he has with his beast, the leopard. They have melded into one, making it incredible difficult for any outside force or vampire to thwart his control. It is highly impossible, depending on the age and power of the vampire, if they are able to call him or force him into a shift. Otherwise, this cannot happen, and it won't. He would not allow it to occur.

Weaknesses:

The bane of every shapeshifter's existence comes from silver. Even Constantine, no matter how old he is, is suscepetible to it. The higher the dose, the more lethal it becomes. Silver attacks the body, thinning the blood, and ramping up the heart in an estatic volume as the adrenaline pumps throughout the body. It sets the body into overdrive, until it can no longer catch up and eventually wears itself out. Other means of physical weakness occurs if Constantine finds himself dismembered or decapitated. He makes it harder on others to destroy him, but he is not invincible. Immortality does not make one invincible, it only prolongs the inevitable: death.


Biggest Fear: Losing ones he cares about.

Character Goals: One day becoming a leader of a leopard group, and using his responsibility and his means to protect and defend to good use.


Tell Their Story

History:


Constantine was born in Pompeii, Italy, in the year 1271 A.D. He was the first and only son born to the Octavius clan, headed by his father Benedict and mother Diana, with younger sister Magdalene following several years later. The family was blessed with wealth, living in a pristine estate several miles south of the large empire. They were highly regarded, respected, and never looked down upon because of their prosperity. They learned to help their neighbors kindly, lending them whatever they needed to make it through their life, helping others who had less than them. Constantine, here, learned at a young age to never take anything for granted, and to help others. An important lesson he still holds with him til this day.

It was Constantine's birth, that regarded quite the attention from his mother and father, who were caught very much by surprise by fact their son had born with a very unique and mysterious trait. Constantine was born with a rare inheritance of lycanthropy, that blossomed as he grew older, and fashioned him into a leopard. Confounded by this turn of events, his mother and father did everything they could to make sure their son's transformation was never discovered by anyone outside of the house. He lived a normal life, they all did. There was nothing unusual about their life, other than the fact their eldest son had the ability to change himself into a large, spotted cat.

A day of ruin came, fifteen years later when Constantine came of age at sixteen. Pompeii came under seige by outside forces. The Greek and the northern warriors of Germania had other things to say about the Roman empire. They evaded and tore apart the city; the rich and the poor. Constantine and his younger sister Magdalene were forced to watch as their beloved home was burned before their eyes, and everything inside. Their mother and father were sold to slavery in Egypt, and soon after, the soldies had the same plans in store for them. That would be the last day Constantine would ever see all of his family, including Magdalene, who like her mother, was sent to be married off as a concubine to a baron Turkey. And Constantine, the young man who fought for every ounce of his family's dignity, to hide who he truly was, was sent to Rome and into the service of a Gladiator.

Constantine would spend 6 long gruesome years in the chains of a Gladiator, fighting for the entertainment of the Roman people. He had to kill, he was forced to end lives, and one fateful day his secret was discovered. It was two years after his arrival, at age twenty-one, Constantine lost control and shifted. The crowd watched in splendor as his body transformed into a large leopard, and soon after, his popularity soared exclusively. Constantine became highly regarded as a religious figure, and to some even a god, sent down to punish them for their past sins. Constantine was released soon after and taken to the palace to met the King. Constantine was inducted quite effortlessly into the military, where he was ranked as a top official to lead the expansion of the Roman empire beyond the Middle East.

Constantine led the expansion for several years, backed by military officials who garnished the reputation for possessing such a powerful asset. The people in the villages the conquered had heard all about the rumored shapeshifter, the rumored reincarnation of some uncharted god. It struck the fear in the hearts of hundreds to thousands who were afraid to distract the god and bring his wrath down upon the mercy of their land and family. Constantine could smell the fear, he could smell the anguish of the people. Their plight and the devastation the military caused was nothing he was brought up to believe in. He turned on the military that believed and wanted nothing more than to have the Roman empire conquer all parts of the globe, and yet Constantine hinted he would have nothing to do with it. And he didn't, and wouldn't.

Constantine took his newfound life, apart from the family he once knew, and went as far away as he could, leaving the militaristic lifestyle behind. He took to the world, and waited for the times to change and his name forgotten, before he re-entered the Italian capital of Rome, soon after the falling of the city and the empire, itself. The world was on the mend, and Constantine watched it firsthand how it was simply rebuilt from scratch, and the people seemingly harmonized. The centuries passed him by, Constantine left the Eastern hemisphere and headed for the West, where new opportunities were awaiting him with golden promises of restarting up his life.
