Four Arms

Special Equipment:

Ancestral Odro(Special tribal weapon, noted below), 'Krenatewar'

Appearance:

Four Arms is usually in Wolf-Human Hybrid form, being a wolf-headed humanoid with silvery white fur and, strangely, four arms! In human form, he appears as a young muscular male with a thick head of braided silvery white hair. He has pale green-white eyes and is seven feet tall in both forms. He has only two arms in human form. In both forms, he wears several animal skin pelts around his waist in a loose, skirt-like garment. He wraps his hands(Sometimes all four of them)and feet in cloth wrappings marked with holy symbols of deference to the nature spirits. He wears necklaces of fangs, claws, bones, beads and chunks of crystal. Recently, he has begun to grow antlers and small bird-like wings in both forms. Due to Fey magic, he will never die of old age.

Background:

On the fringes of the weak man's prison called 'civilization', the primordial wilderness is home to the strong ones, those who still follow the old ways, those that the weak men call barbarians. Years alo, among the forest tribes in the north, a tribe called the Bone Faces, known for their tendencies towards hereditary lycanthropy, began to become...Different. They began to become quieter, less aggresive toward their neighbors. They had found a crack in the fabric of reality, an opening into the Fey Realm, a realm where the great lords of nature held court. The pure, primal chaos and wildness of the Fey Realm began to transform the Bone Faces. They began to manifest strange mutations, usually beneficial, and more powerful and wilder lycanthropic forms. Eventually, a child was born named Four Arms by the Bone Face shaman, Yob-Flame, because of his quadripartite arms. Four Arms quickly grew to maturity, to fast for natural children, and completed his first hunt with ease, becoming recognized as a man at age 14. At age 17, Four Arms defeated and ate the former Bone Face chieftan, Hides-His-Eyes, becoming the next chieftan. In two years, Four Arms' military genius and powerful Fey abilities led him to unite the Bone Faces with the neighbor tribes into a single force, though the tribes kept their individual customs and cultures. Taught to see the people of civilization as weak and stupid, Four Arms seeks to bring all of Creation back to nature. Of course, the civilized 'weak men' see Four Arms as a hideous demonic abomination and his people as savage barbarians. In many frontier cities, Four Arms is feared as an evil demon lord who ravages and kills with abandon. To the tribes and himself, he is a strong and mighty hero who liberates the weak from the oppression of civilization. Only time will tell if this bizarrely mutated warlord will ever meet his goal. But he must be careful, for though he cannot die of old age, he can on the field of battle, and if he does perish, the unity he has brought to the tribes may crumble.
