| DESCRIPTION: | Nearly seven feet tall and massively built, Bear is the image of a Fenrir Ahroun. . . with a twist. His mother’s side of the family contained Wendigo and Uktena blood, and that side of his ancestry shows on him as clearly as does the Fenrir. In facial and body structure he is very Scandinavian, with heavy, pronounced nose, wide cheekbones, and a square jaw. Bear’s physique is quite similar to his namesake animal. Rather than the pleasing masculine curves of a bodybuilder, he looks like he’s been roughly carved from granite, with massive layered slabs of hard, working man muscle. His eyes are the cold gray of a winter sky before a storm, and he has both a neatly trimmed beard and a thick dusting of chest hair. His hair, however, is the glossy midnight black of the various American tribes, and his skin is a light, dusky bronze, as if he always had a deep tan. In his various furred forms, the fur on his head, ruff, and back match the black of his hair, slowly lightening as it moves down his neck and legs until it matches the cold gray of his eyes. |
| BACKGROUND: | Barrington Jones is the son of Arnold Jones, a white football star and Regina Yazzie, Navajo homecoming queen. They were both rising stars in high school, with bright futures ahead of them and scholarships to good universities. One night of drunken sex changed all of that. Bear was conceived, and his parents' lives were de-railed. They were forced to get married to take care of their child, and his father, having no skills other than football, became a low-paid construction worker, while his mother had to be a stay-at-home mom. Both of them resented their newborn son, blaming him for the loss of their dreams. Bear was despised from the moment he was born. As the boy grew, his parents grew more and more resentful, both of him and of each other. Arnold took to beating his wife and young child in fits of drunken rage, and home was a place of fear and despair.
School offered no solace for the young Bear. As a half-breed child going to schools that had an overwhelming majority of Native American students, he was bullied and picked on mercilessly, and his family moved often, so he was never able to find any friends. Schoolyard fights were common, and he often came home bruised and bloody. Bear grew up fast, and he grew up mean.
When he was twelve years old, the family moved to Albuquerque, following Arnold's work. As he hit puberty, Bear began to grow at an alarming rate, quickly becoming bigger and stronger than everyone around him. His fellow students were terrified of him, for the huge teenager used his size and strength to crush anyone that he viewed as threatening him. At home, things were worse than ever, because Bear was now big enough to fight back against Arnold's abuse. The elder Jones was a coward at heart, as are all abusers, and he soon ceased beating Bear. . .but that just meant that Regina now suffered even more abuse, and she refused to let Bear defend her. He took out his frustration on his classmates, and his teachers began to despair of ever reaching the angry young man.
Things came to a head when Bear was seventeen. He returned home after wandering the streets alone to find his father standing over his mother as she lay on the floor. Arnold had beaten her with the heavy glass bottle he held in his hands, and her face was a pulped and lacerated mess. The two faced each other over Regina’s barely conscious body, and a rage like none he had ever known filled Bear. Red descended over his vision, and he exploded with power, changing into a creature more ferocious and savage than his namesake animal could ever be.
The Rage was uncontrollable, and he took it out upon the parent who had tormented him his entire life. . . and the parent that he had spent his life trying to protect. When Bear finally came back to himself, naked and covered in blood that wasn’t his, the house lay in ruins. What remained of his mother and father could not have immediately been identified as human, so horribly had it been mangled in the depths of his fury.
Shocked and horrified, Bear fled the scene, running blindly away from the sight of his mother’s body. All his life he had wanted to protect her from his father’s rage, and in the end it had been his own that had killed her. He couldn’t think, couldn’t make a plan, couldn’t do anything but flee the pain. He was found several hours later by a biker gang on the outskirts of the city. Bear tensed, ready to fight, but the gang leader calmly explained to him that he knew exactly what had happened, and that he was here to help. They took the traumatized man home with him and began to explain the facts of life to him.
Arnold Jone and Regina Yazzier were Kinfolk, the children of creatures like the one Bear had become that night. They were the result of several generations in which no children born to their respective family lines had been able to Change (as these men called it.) As a result, they had been cut off from their roots, gradually shut out from their larger family tree, and the cycle of abuse that Arnold had completed had begun due to this shunning. No one had expected that a child three generations distant from the last Trueborn son would Change. . . but he had.
For the next two years, Bear learned of the new world he had become part of. They taught him to control his Rage, to harness it in battle to become a living engine of destruction. They taught him of his father’s tribe, the mighty Fenrir, the most powerful warriors in a nation of warriors. He was taught of the spirit world, and the great and terrible things that lurked just beyond what the naked eyes can see. . . and they taught him of the Triat, the three great spirits, and how the madness of two of them was bringing about the end of the world.
All was different now for the young man. Gone was the angry, sorrowful child who longed for a world where someone would love him. In his place was a powerful warrior, newly recognized of his tribe, and eager to prove his power and worth in the world. After all, if he could convince the others he was worth something, despite his sins . . . maybe he’d be able to fool himself. |
