Name: Johnny Walker
Age: 28
Species: Werewolf (Concealed)
Location: Pacific Northwest, USA

Personality:
Johnny is the kind of guy who keeps things light on the surface — witty, sarcastic, and easygoing — but there's a constant, quiet tension under his skin. He's the type to crack a joke to hide a scar. Highly observant and emotionally intelligent, Johnny is good at reading people and deflecting suspicion, a skill honed from years of hiding his true nature. He’s loyal to a fault, but also deeply afraid of getting too close to anyone for fear they might discover his secret... or worse, get hurt by it.

He’s got a strong moral compass and often acts like a protector — but he’s also fiercely independent and struggles with authority. Deep down, he’s always afraid of losing control, and that fear makes him both cautious and burdened with guilt for things he did in the past.
Career: Auto Mechanic / Custom Car Restorer

Johnny runs a modest but respected auto shop on the edge of town called "Full Moon Customs." His job suits him perfectly — long hours working alone, grease-covered hands, and loud tools masking the occasional growl. The physicality of the work helps him stay grounded, and his attention to detail allows him to focus his energy on something constructive.

He's especially talented at restoring vintage muscle cars — his love of all things old and powerful reflects the primal energy within him. The shop gives him a reputation as a hardworking, no-nonsense guy, and also gives him an excuse to avoid social gatherings ("Sorry, night shift again.").

Backstory:
Johnny was born into a long-forgotten werewolf bloodline, diluted and dormant for generations… until his 18th birthday, when the curse awoke violently under a rare supermoon. That night ended in tragedy — an accidental mauling, an irreparably broken friendship, and the last time he saw his childhood home.

Fleeing from the guilt, he wandered for years, trying to suppress the wolf within. He eventually found solace in mechanics — the predictability of engines, the way machines only break when you understand how they work. That clarity gave him a sense of control that his body never did.

Now he lives under a false name in a small town, trying to stay under the radar. He’s got routines: wolfsbane tea in the evenings, reinforced locks on his basement workshop, and a strict rule about never staying out past dusk during a full moon. He keeps his transformations secret, going out into the wilderness when needed — but it's getting harder to maintain the lie, especially as more supernatural activity seems to be stirring near town.

Additional Traits:
Hobbies: Hiking (to scout safe transformation zones), listening to rockabilly or old country music, sketching car concepts.

Fears: Hurting someone during a transformation, being hunted, becoming "just the wolf."

Weaknesses: Self-isolating tendencies, nightmares, addictive personality (he struggles with alcohol sometimes).

Secret Dream: To one day find others like him and create a hidden sanctuary where he doesn’t have to lie.
