PERSONALITY · The FOREVER-AND-BEYOND CURSED one
+ Poised, steady + Kind-hearted + Caring, nurturing + Sociable + Supportive + Honest
~ Protective ~ Directive ~ Dominant ~ Stoic
- Distant - Uninvolved - Gruff-ish - Crude, blunt - Unintentionally over-challenging and hurtful
Karaci comes from a long way. In fact, even if there still were any traces of his past deeds in the records, there's no way anyone could link it back to who he is now. The only glimpse of a hint anyone could get from him about this, it would probably be how distant the man seems to be. Dedicated, but uncommitted. Caring, but apathetic. As if he lived a hundred lives, and stopped counting the ones waiting ahead.
However, he's far from being an unreachable figure: quite the opposite. He's very sociable, deeply kind-hearted, and very supportive. You'll easily catch him downtown hanging with someone at the bar, bonding with the elderly people at the park, or just chatting with kids who were playing soccer in the street and asked him to get the ball back from the square's tree.
He appreciates company (and actively looks for socialization), and will gladly stop by joining a group or helping a community. While he's extremely inactive and uninvolved on the broad-scale (especially for a mostly invincible and all-mighty warrior), it's important for him to dedicate time to people and places on a much smaller scale.
Karaci is an extremely assertive person: he's directive, dominant, and has the shoulders of a leader. He rarely takes that role (and refuses the praise that comes with it no matter what), but he can still be gruff, and unintentionally very hurtful to those under him. While he cares for the pack immensely, he doesn't always realize how high he can set the bar, and how little space he can give to personal boundaries in several settings.
He remains charismatic: his steadiness and poise, along with his very nurturing and fatherly nature, can easily make him the cornerstone of someone's life. If he allows it to happen, that's it.
Overall and through the years, his temper (then explosive) softened a whole lot. With his anger issues kept in check and a renewed view on people and relationships, Karaci is now much of a dad figure. He certainly lacks the humor (he's honestly not an especially funny guy, not stuck-up and not scary but definitely not a jokester either), but he got the perfect DILF-y vibe, just a tiny bit more melancholic.
LIKES
+ His kid(s), doing cool stuff with his kids, cooking, looking his best (makeup, fashion, self-care), giving hugs, the outdoor, black coffee, hookups that lead to friendship, HOUSEPLANTS, candies and sweets, hunting, dancing, playing the cello, learning new things
DISLIKES
- Being praised/worshipped in general (with one sole exception for his appearance and body), stuff and people that interfere with godlike matters, that bastard (him, before he died), people who abuse of other's vulnerability (even a tiny bit) and people who are unnecessarily mean to children, loneliness, bland food
story
"- Do people come back ?
- Those who do, wish they hadn't"
The young man didn't answer. Tending for the reindeer and hunting bears away wasn't enough. His duty may be to feed the tribe, but his goal was to get stronger with or without his community.
Seljo and Camaxtli were no longer in charge. Maybe a Varulv and a necromancer shouldn't have be in charge in the first place, anyway. Their legacy did carry on though, and their descendants Karaci and Jaskà lived up to the ex-leaders' strength.
It wasn't enough, though. The war would reach their lands soon. Deities were only growing more and more agitated. A nomadic lifestyle couldn't only preserve the Sami people for so long, Karaci thought. And protecting his folks would certainly not help him stand out when the battle starts raging on.
Act IV. Old heart; pained ghost
If anything, he dedicated himself to his interests no matter how ephemeral. He didn't want to waste his immortality on boredom. Traveling, learning, helping those in need (maybe as a way to repay for what he used to be).
He wasn't happy. Not when he met Malichi and was hired as a supplier for the vampire's gite. Not when he found an excuse of a purpose fighting Beasts on villagers' request. He was empty, melancholic, wounded.
When he met her, he thought he was healing. Maybe her kisses were his purpose. Perhaps her eyes were the sign he was looking for, and her arms the shelter he had been looking for. When he had to forcefully tear himself away from her bound, he lost hope again.
The young werewolf sparked something new, and shed light on a very relieving fact: Karaci was not who he used to be in his past life... and he had more than one life in the past. It was a new chapter. It was different. He was okay.
Trivia
- He’s a werewolf, but also a lich-like undead, and so technically immortal. This bastard is impossible to kill. There's only one way and it requires way too much effort, in all honestly. Plausibly, no one wants to kill that man so bad that they'd be ready to actually engage against him.
- He's a Varulv (Swedish werewolf) "turned" into a wolf against his will (wolf-born).
- He has a soft spot for candies and sweets !! He often carries a few with him.
- He's an extremelly skilled makeup artist. He takes his makeup look very seriously and usually makes sure to look his best in any circumstances.
- He has a youtube channel (not a Tiktok account) where he does makeup, sometimes cooking, VLOGs and informative video about his wolves.
- He has MANY plants at home: Succulents, cacti, and much more. That's what makes a house feel like home !
- He studied light and optic and is actually a great physicist. He also studied arithmetics, and chemistry. He's really qualified in spectrophotometry.
- He used to be more of a nomadic person, but he's really starting to settle down more. He's still always on the move (for work, and just because he loves to travel), but doesn't mind spending much longer at home anymore.
- Can turn into various form of canidae, including a large anthropomorphic wolf, a feral dire wolf (about the size of a horse) and an "okamimimi form" with only a few wolf features.
- Used to play the cello (learned the viola da gamba at first).
- Speaks fluently Swedish, Spanish, French, English and Romanian.
- He usually doesn't mix up words or anything, but his accent can be interesting to hear when he loses his usual calm. The Spanish (from Mexico) and Swedish accents are the ones that go banana when he's speaking other languages the most.
- He doesn't get flustered easily, but he blushes very fast and very hard when it happens.
- He loves dancing and is a very good dancer. He likes swing dance the best, and his skills go accordingly.
- He's legally 48 years old. His ID is 200% fake.
- He's HIV positive. Being an undead AND a werewolf, it didn't affect his life much at all (he never developed AIDS even though he had a pretty high viral load), at least until he got aware of the AIDS epidemy.
- Getting tested was a process: He was fully aware he was most likely infected and was more stressed about having to explain his background, or to reveal his actual identity (not many people know he's born in the Middle-Age period in Sweden). However, he did go to a test session organized by a militant organization, as he couldn't bear the pressure of risking transmitting the virus to any partner he could ever have.
- He's on TasP, and his viral load is so low it's no longer transmissible !!
- He rarely talks about his past at all. Malichi is probably the only person who knows the whole picture more-or-less accurately.
- He avoids the topic, and remains scarce on the details when asked about it.
- He DOES censor a good part of it in most case. 1040 and 2021 are very different times.
- He owns a black Dacia Duster (parked in France).
- He's an EXCELLENT cook ! He just really loves cooking nice things.
- He's painfully rich. From his parents and late tribe's inheritance, as well as treasures he hoarded as years passed by.... And he has a job on top of that. That's quite a lot of mon€y.
- He doesn't spend that much for anything but property taxes and grocery though. And grocery isn't the most expensive thing. He does enjoy some "treat yourself" moments every so often though. No, he didn't find this authentic GUCCI sweater in a thrift store.
- He has a Netflix account, and all of Elias' friends are on it. Because Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind, or forgotten.
- He owns 2 homes: a villa in Sonora, Mexico (inherited from his father's land), and some kind of hobbit-hole hermit house in the forest of Norrland, Sweden. He also has a contact in France, and occasionally rents a flat in Puy-de-Dôme.
- Started speaking English with Elias, since he met him in Canada and their first interaction was in English. However, it turned out later the young man was fluent in French. Since most of his friends are native French speakers, he and Karaci just sorta naturally slid to communicating in that language.

Powers & abilities
· TRANSFORMATION Karaci is a werewolf, and can switch from a feral, anthropomorphic, and okamimimi wolf form on will. His natural feral form is the size of a small horse.
· REGENERATION Karaci has incredible regeneration abilities - he doesn't scar (although scars will remain for a short period of time when it comes to extremely severe wounds) and heals at very high speed. Only silver can stop this ability: but it slows down his whole metabolism.
· Karaci has above average physical strength. He can't die of old age, and he would be really hard to kill even if he was "only" an undead (his wolf regeneration abilities actually make it near impossible).
· SHADOWS-CONTROL (MATTER LIKE) Karaci can control and shape shadow as if it was matter. Solidifying also allows him to generate shadow... that he can control as well.
· SHADOW REALM ↳ PORTAL TELEPORTATION Sliding through light and weaving his way between the threads of the tapestry of the world. Karaci can bring a small area around him through another plane of existence (similar to the Faeries' realm).
→ It's dark and scary, and time there is slowed down (like trying to run on bubblegum during a nightmare). That's about it though, and it's an unstable plane that only lasts a few seconds.
→ This plane can be used as a transportation worm-hole, allowing teleportation by use of portals.
RELATIONSHIPS
"I could gush about how much I love this kid for hours. I'll spare you that, you just need to know I collect every kitsch dad mugs he's ever offered me for the laugh. And that when I open the cupboard and I see them, I get all mushy and emotional."
Taking Elias in brought much more to the lone wolf than the young man thinks. It didn't go all smooth at the beginning, but Elias sparked up that nurturing warmth in Karaci. They're incredibly close, and it's going great.
"I trust and respect him a lot. That's about it though. As much as we know each other, we're not exactly friends."
They both say they have a strictly professional relationship. It's just as professional as it can get after 4 centuries working together and sharing whiskey at the counter after closing hours every few weeks or so, chatting and telling each other about their immortal life.
"I've rarely been so proud of someone. Aloyse is an admirable kid. She deserves the world."
Aloyse being Elias's best friend, Karaci had the chance to meet the young lady numerous times. She's strong, autonomous, a beyond-efficient adult. Maybe too much. She's one of those kids who had to mature too fast, and who still silently carry that weight by their own. He's glad she managed to confide into him more, and he's happy to be a bit of a resting stone for her. It does seem that she enjoys having someone around shaped less like a friend, and more like a parent.
"🥰🥰🥰"
Mico manages to turn Karaci into lovey-dovey putty, and that's a competence very few people have. The way he talks about his passions, and the way he smiles and listens to people telling him stories with sparkles in his eyes. His content face when he warms his hands on his coffee mug in the morning, his amused pout when Lupe affectionately teases him about his ugly shoes that he hasn't changed in years. The way he always comes in a little bit late to after-class dates, because he couldn't help chatting with his students before leaving. The honey shine of his amber eyes in the sun, the flash of his canine fangs when he laughs too loud after a dumb joke... Yeah
"Elias got great friends. Excellent, actually. 5/5 stars. Would drive to their buddy-vacation-spot and tell them to be safe even tho I'm not worried the slightest again."
Yes good. They made a running joke of offering him boomer dad-joke mugs and other goodies every so often. He smiles and rolls his eyes as if it was only a silly fun joke, but it's actually an absolute pure shot of serotonin.
"He sounds like a very kind man. It would probably be just as nice to meet him as it would be awkward. But I'm saying it in, like, a good way."
Karaci didn't overthink it much at all when Elias told him that the world-widely recognized photograph replied to him. He was obviously happy for the young man, but he didn't realize the impact Jostophe had on his son. The dude helped Elias improving his art, he nurtured that little seed of passion he saw in the young werewolf. They seem to have talked a lot, to truly bond. Jostophe even convinced Elias to go out in social events, to learn to re-open himself to the outside world. He gave him that little spark, that impulse that led Elias to a much fuller recovery. That's such a huge thing.
