You'll never see Captain Mercer without his Crimson Arm Band & Beret. The Merc leader often wears decent clothing - not quite the level of a noble, but for his place in the world, he's dressed clean and well. Presentable, without alienating himself from his Company.

Make no mistake, Gavin is a very dangerous man.

To say Gavin is a born leader is a bit of an understatement. It's in his blood; he was born to lead. He cares for the people he's with, even if he does his best to pretend to be an ass about certain things. He'll wear a jaded mask and pretend to be aloof, not care, but he'll be the one supporting you when the chips are down. It's that quality [and a blunt decisiveness] that often easily allows men [and women] to rally behind him.
He will force everyone around him to perform at their best, accepting nothing short of personal excellence. He has the capacity for patience and will attempt to teach what he knows to those he feel need to know it. His patience and wisdom make him ideal to be in this position, and not only that, he enjoys it at a very base, primal level.

Gavin has proved to have fantastic faith in humanity. Gavin's rage, his need for vengeance, is twisted only with his greater ideal of justice. As a leader of a Mercenary company he, and his mercenaries, occasionally take jobs just to make ends meet, but, and probably quite fortunately, the darker, seedier jobs are often passed along to someone down in Lower Sanctum, leaving the more well-to-do jobs for his company. He wants to protect Sanctum, though the City Guard isn't the best place for him, since, as a Mercenary, he can make up his own rules.

He's a restless soul.
Lack of impulse control makes him a risk-taker. Sometimes, those outcomes aren't so great. His disregard for social norms, rough-and-gruff nature and inextinguishable taste for danger make this man chomp down more than he can chew on numerous occasions. He's funny, rash, sarcastic, horribly bitter, manipulative, crude and boisterous. Intelligent but occasionally misguided - right and wrong. Confused? We all are. Let's make it simple. From day to day, situation to situation, moment to moment you never know who's going to be at your side. The masks of Gavin Mercer are many.

Outside of combat, training, or anything of an official capacity, Gavin, at heart, is just a good man. Someone to share a drink or a story with. He doesn't care for the cities inner politics and as such isn't proficient at navigating those waters - more a blunt object than a scalpel when navigating that territory - but he gets on with people just fine.


♞┆SKILLS┆♞
Leader: "You just wanna die for the guy." -Unknown.
He's also an accomplished tactician.
Combat Mastery: He could kill you with a tea-cup. Beyond that he's got a strong grasp on many weapons and fighting styles.
Hunter/Tracker: Occasionally needed to track people down on contract or personal vendetta. He's accomplished at both.


♞┆POWERS┆♞

Lycanthropy

Since Gavin was a young man, he has been infected with the lycanthrope virus, more commonly referred to as werewolf virus.
Lycanthropes are fabled to be the ultimate predator, possessing heightened senses, enhanced regeneration, animalistic instincts, boosts to strength and speed, a wolf form, and a forced hybrid transformation on every full moon.
His bite, in transformed state, has the chance to transfer the lycan virus to others of non-pure origin.
It also possessed a few weaknesses; most notably silver.

Gavin is currently known as a Beta werewolf, possessing a range of power, control, skills and abilities above the basic lycanthrope genome.
Unkillable: Mercer is capable restoring greatly damaged or destroyed tissue within seconds.
Because of this, the man ages very, very slowly. While he only looks to be in his early thirties, he's much, much older.
At this heightened stage of regeneration he is capable of regenerating at combat-effective rates, healing from most wounds as they're happening, the running joke being that if he's slashed across the chest, his chest is healed before the blood hits the ground. Also capable of regenerating severed limbs.
This provides him immunity to illness, viruses, and powerful resistances to poisons and bacterias.
Enhanced Senses & Instincts: His senses are comparable to that of an animal. He can see just fine in the dark and make out things from a further distance than humans. Recognize people, places and objects by smell - and can even 'smell' when a person is lying by the change in their body chemistry (unless they're an accomplished liar). Hear a wider range of frequencies and from further distances. Rumor has it that, like some dogs, he can smell sickness in a person or an animal.
His hearing is potent, and due to his added control / length of time with the Lycanthrope virus, he is able to filter out certain sounds to hear something further away - though if doing this someone makes a loud noise near him, it will be nearly deafening and likely cause physical pain.
Instincts are best described as predatory in nature, driving the need for killing and feeding primarily, but are not directly linked to violence. They also drive the need for him to establish and/or be around a pack, find shelter, protect his territory, and be around his own kind/his family, protecting them with every fibre of his being.
His senses are more accurate in a transformed state, nearly doubling what he is capable of in human form.
This also accounts for certain interactions of his being nothing more than snarls, growls, and whimpers - depending on the situation. There's an animal under the surface...
Physical Boosts: In an untransformed state Gavin possessed both 5x human limit strength, endurance, durability and stamina - as well as 2x human limit speed, agility and reflexes.
In any transformed state, his speed/agility/reflexes are doubled to 4x HL.
Dire Wolf: At any time Gavin is capable of transforming into a wolf-state, roughly the size of a dire wolf (slightly larger than the Timber wolf, roughly 3 & 1/2' at the shoulder). He has no problem controlling this form and keeps all his personality intact.
He maintains all his characteristics in this form.
[Capable of sprinting roughly 60mph, covering up to 18 feet in a single bound, and capable of breaking large bones in one/two bites.].
The Beast (Beta): Now that Gavin has ascended to Beta he is capable of transforming into his full Hybrid (classic 'werewolf') form whenever he wishes, without the need for a full moon. Because of this, he now also struggles to maintain control with his inner-beast at all times, and is easily set off by the sight and smell of blood, intense anger, or territorial instincts. He is capable of shifting only parts of his body at any one time, most prominent being claws or jaws (with a strength comparable to hardened steel).
This is Gavin's strongest form - all of his senses are at their most acute, his speed and strength are at their maximum, and since his evolution to Beta, changing into this full form is much faster, and far less painful than it was originally.
Though he now carries a slight resistance to silver, it is still far and away his most prominent weakness.
Gavin must transform on a full moon - there's no way getting around it. However, he now maintains roughly 50% control, and 50% of his human personality, allowing him to steer or guide his beast, without controlling it outright.
Because the shift is supernatural in nature it accounts for his basic size-changes, (how he can become smaller, into the size of a wolf, or larger, in hybrid form). Currently, in his hybrid form, he is roughly two feet taller than normal {Around 9' total} with burning red eyes (as opposed to the traditional gold he wore as a standard lycan.)
His memories of the evening are mostly intact the next day and thereafter, but it is somewhat fragmented - the struggle between himself and the beast.
Weaknesses:Pure Silver: Wounds inflected by Silver will cause a Lycan howling pain and burns, but will still continue to heal - though at 1/4 the rate the lycan would normally heal.
Vampire bites/wounds: Similar to silver, healing at 1/4 the rate, but without the burning sensation.




♞┆POSSESSIONS┆♞

"Splitter": An Great War Axe that has been with Mercer as long as he can remember. It may not look pretty, but it gets the job done. Usually in one fell swoop. Heavy as hell.
"Fang": A swordstaff, the blade of which is unbreakable, sharpened shard of a long lost Colossus. It's necrotic in nature; any time it strikes anything it drains the life energy from it. (Waiting for MS)
The weapon is incredibly dense and heavy; only people with beyond-human strength are capable of wielding Fang.
Wounds inflicted by Fang take 2x longer to heal than normal.

Dragon Egg:
Recently acquired. Gift from Lia.
Sounds can be heard from inside. It's going to hatch soon!

Crimson Arm Band & Beret:
Symbol of The Vanguard. Mercer's has a Captain insignia on it.
