Bernard bûcha à travers les bois, perdu non pas dans les arbres, mais dans ses pensées. Rien n'a guidé ses pas si ce n'est le fait qu'il a dû prendre un chemin sinueux pour éviter de marcher dans les arbres. Aucun besoin physique ne l'a frappé en ce moment, et pourtant il était toujours poussé à chercher... quelque chose. Le sentiment ne lui permettait pas de se reposer, et donc il marchait plutôt que de trouver un abri pour dormir la semaine prochaine ou ainsi de suite jusqu'à ce qu'il ait vraiment faim à nouveau.
A priori, il y avait une zone plus brillante qu'il pouvait voir entre les arbres. Il a repéré le mouvement, et la quantité de soleil ne pouvait que signifier que là les arbres se terminaient. En perçant le sous-bois, Bernard continua. L'odeur des proies lui vint en marchant sur une bûche, mais il ne s'arrêta pas. Il pouvait maintenant voir clairement les deux filles danser dans la prairie, et il s'arrêta au bord des arbres. Toujours dans l'ombre, il regarda dans la lumière pour voir ce qu'il pouvait voir.
En repérant l'autre Projet, pour quoi d'autre pourraient-ils être tous, les cicatrices de Bernard démangeaient. Les deux avaient rarement été proches les uns des autres, mais il a reconnu un autre de son genre qui avait été soumis à un traitement similaire. Un faible grognement s'est levé sans encombre et sa gorge, et il a commencé vers le centre de la clairière.
S'il y avait un combat, il ne laisserait pas ça entre deux projets félins.
Name: Bernard
Project Number: TBA
Sex: Male
Age: 19
Species: 91% Human, 9% Black Bear
Hair color: Black
Eye color: Amber
Skin tone: Fair
Scars: One major scar across his face, from above his right eye down to the left side of his jaw. Numerous small scars across his back and the backs of his arms that resemble claw marks. Scars around his ankles and wrists show where they have been rubbed raw countless times by shackles.
Tattoos/Piercings: None.
Height/Weight: 6’2”, 210lbs
Significant Markings: Bernard's eyes reflect light in a way similar to many nocturnal predators. His finger and toenails are black like claws, and his canine teeth are sharper and more prominent than the average human. The palms of his hands are rough and calloused.
Abilities/Mutations: Due to the animal DNA he posseses, Bernard has much higher bone and muscle density than the average human. This makes him very durable, as well as capable of incredible feats of strength. He can also see better in the dark than most humans, though he can't see color in minimal-light situations. His fingernails appear to be thicker than average, and taper slightly like claws.
Personality: Bernard is a level-headed individual, choosing his words and actions with care. Overall, his direct manner makes him come off as rather blunt and to the point. He follows his heart, and is quite stubborn once he has chosen his path. Though his primary loyalty is ultimately to himself, he still makes a dependable friend and ally.
Though it takes a lot to get under his skin or piss him off, an angry Bernard is not a pretty sight. He is prone to violent rages, throwing caution to the wind as he loses himself in the primal anger. Friend or foe matters not when he truly needs to vent, though certain people or trigger memories are known snap him out of it. More often than not, Bernard becomes extremely withdrawn for quite some time after such an outburst.
Weaknesses: He hits like a truck, but Bernard lacks maneuverability. If someone knows how to get into his head they may be able to trigger and end his rages seeming at will. Though he is far less likely to be manipulated once angry, he is equally more likely to hurt his friends in the process.
Biography: The majority of Bernard's time within the facility consisted of tests of strength an endurance. Whether that meant long fights or the endless lifting of weights, he was constantly pushed to exhaustion. He did little more than eat, sleep, work, and train. All the lessons he learned here he took to heart, especially those about human nature he got only from observation.
Outside the facility, Bernard went his own way and put his animal nature to work for him. His gruff demeanor pushed most humans away with ease, which suited him just fine. He survived on the edges of society by scavenging for food and when he had the opportunity, hunting. Wary of humans as a whole, he tends to stick to lightly populated or abandoned areas near woodland. When his hunger is sated and he is not sleeping, he can often be found wandering aimlessly, in search of someone else like him to end the lonely silence. He regrets leaving the others after the escape, but knows not how to find any of them.
Likes: Red meat, green apples, honey, storms, long walks through the woods, and sleep.
Dislikes: Needless violence, being woken up, hot weather, "rabbit food," crowds, large open spaces.
Crush(es): TBA
