Personality: Ezekiel is literally a teddy bear. Or a really large, friendly dog, in his standards. Most people think Ezekiel is threatening when they first meet him, with his large muscular figure and his occasional poker face, but in reality, the man is a massive softie, and wouldn't hurt a fly unless he had to, and he'd probably try to find multiple ways to prevent killing it too. He's the kind of person who, instead of crushing a bug, at first sight, will pick it up and put it back outside. When you first meet him, it's hard not to smile at him, as the man is so damn cheerful and optimistic that it's hard not to be in a good mood around him. He has a very good sense of humour and tries his best to figure out what he should and should not say around a person as he gets to know them. He's very selfless, a massive people pleaser, and is very patient, and, shockingly enough, I know, works very well with kids. He's caring and tries his best to cheer his friends and loved ones up when they're down, either using shitty puns, hugs, or he just sits with them and lets them vent until they feel better. He's understanding, and can openly talk about his past and his mistakes without feeling too awful about it. Ezekiel rarely ever gets angry, and usually only does when someone hurts his friends or when they just actually manage to strike a nerve with the boy. Unfortunately, good things always come to an end. Although yes, Ezekiel is typically very happy and optimistic, he also tends to use that to hide any bad feelings, and he keeps anything bad or bothersome bottled up until it explodes, and the poor boy hates letting people know when he's sad or depressed. So whenever that happens he tends to disappear for a while, so he can cool off and get back to normal. Ezekiel also isn't very stubborn, and due to him being a people pleaser, he tries to do anything he can to make a person happy, which leads to him not always winning arguments. He also seems to have a small competitive side, which he keeps hidden a lot but lets it show during sports or games. He loves winning, but, of course, is always a good sport in the end. Also whenever Harmony is around he becomes a massive pushover and loves spoiling her, but he's stern enough as a guardian to know when enough is enough and when to be stern.

Powers: Well...he’s a werewolf, so you get the gist. He has superhuman strength and senses too! And he is really good at controlling his form due to practice as he aged.

Appearance: Ezekiel is a tall young man, at 6'4, with a broad-shouldered and muscular build. He has dark brown skin, and he has long dark brown-black hair, styled in dreadlocks that he occasionally pulls up with one of the loose bands he usually has around his wrists. His eyes are an amber colour and seem to flare up when he's angry. A little bit of a beard seems to be forming on Ezekiel's chin, the rest being regularly shaved off or left as a very short stubble. Ezekiel has to shave regularly, as werewolves tend to grow hair much quicker than others, and if he misses a day it's common to see him with a thin beard, and despite his friend's claims on how attractive it is, he still only leaves his chin unscathed. Ezekiel has thick eyebrows from this as well, and, obviously tends to have more body hair because of it, although as I said before, he shaves most of it off every three days. He has very kind almond-shaped eyes, with high cheekbones running beneath them, and a broad nose, which would be crooked from previously being broken, however, his werewolf abilities also seem to fix that for him. Assorted moles dot his face as well. Ezekiel has a pretty damn good jawline as well, as its sharp and shapes the rest of his face very well, with his already angular face type. Ezekiel's mouth seems to always be set in a smile or a casual poker face, his canines sharper and longer than normal due to his lycanthrope blood. His ears are pointed as well. As I mentioned earlier, Ezekiel is pretty muscular, with well-toned arms, a broad chest, wide shoulders, and skin wrapping tightly around his abdomen. This gives him a threatening look sometimes when he's angry, but in reality, he really wouldn't hurt anyone. He's a major softie, despite his body not being soft. His hugs are pretty great though. Ezekiel likes feminine things. He happens to really like gold eyeliner, and absolutely adores flower crowns, or having flowers in his hair in general. He also tends to let Harmony play with his hair or put makeup on him as well, as he doesn't mind it nor hate it, and if they do it he'll openly wear it for the rest of the day, to her pleasure. He likes looking pretty, it's just his thing. As for clothes, Ezekiel will wear anything to be completely honest. He doesn't mind. Casually though, he usually wears t-shirts, jerseys, or sweaters, with worn jeans and sandals, or no shoes if he can, as he doesn't like them. Ezekiel has some scars, from the scratch marks on his back and side from previous fights, the burn mark on his shoulder and his right thumb, to the long scar from his eye to his shoulder blade from a fight with another werewolf over protecting Harmony. He doesn't mind them, actually quite liking them for the stories they could tell. Piercings aren't really Ezekiel's thing, but both ears are pierced, as he occasionally wears studs in his ears.

Werewolf Form: It depends on whether he fully transforms or just turns into a wolf. His wolf form is an abnormally large wolf, large enough for Harmony to ride on easily, with dark chocolate fur. He's like a large fluffy teddy bear in personality, there is no need to fear him. His WEREWOLF form, however, is a massive wolf-like form, that stands on two legs and can walk on four, that has dark chocolate fur. His claws are long and sharp obviously, and he switches to this form when he's super angry. He usually can control himself enough to just switch to the regular wolf on full moons.

History: Ezekiel wasn't always the super happy go, lucky boy, he is today.

His parents are still alive and still together, of course, there's no big problem there. In fact, Ezekiel has a perfectly fine relationship with his parents. They're all werewolves and are all able to live easily within society. The Vance family is known for their monthly full moon nights out. Their neighbours think nothing of it.

Although they do lack a sister.

Avari "Ava" Vance was younger than Ezekiel by three years, and she died when Ezekiel was ten, from an illness. There was no murder, no accident, no suicide. She was just a sickly child from birth, and a strong outbreak of the flu hit her too hard that year, much to the Vance family's dismay. It was a hard few months after that, with Ezekiel's mother going through fired and his father trying to hide it, although Ezekiel could see the pain in his eyes whenever his sister was brought up in conversation.

Ezekiel helped his family as much as he could through it, however, there wasn’t much he could do at a young age, the death stuck with them even into Ezekiel’s teen years and moving to Scotland and away from the grave was horrifyingly hard, but Ezekiel’s parents wanted to be nearby when they sent their son off to the academy at age 15. He went through his years quietly, he played sports but really focused on his studies on how to control his werewolf form, his diligence to master it making him able to control it even on full moons at age 18.

Then, at age 19, Ezekiel noticed a small girl in a blue dress being harassed by some older kids in the city. She was small, frail, and shockingly naive, not really understanding the kid’s comments even after Ezekiel walked over and told them to buzz off. She then followed him around after that almost like a cat, and though a little confused Ezekiel didn’t mind, eventually sitting and buying the girl lunch in town, where she revealed she was lost and had been lost for a while, having lost her parents a week or so ago. Ezekiel was shocked but, in his kind nature, immediately brought her back to the castle, also noticing that the girl, who told Ezekiel her name was Harmony, seemed shockingly cold to the touch.

Harmony was allowed in by the former headmaster, despite her being under the age to learn, and Ezekiel quickly began to take care of her himself, seeing a bit of his sister in the, at the time, 9-year-old girl. He’d bring her home for the holidays as well and his mother and father were happy to let her stay, and the two have been stuck at the hip since.

Ezekiel helped her with homework since she was able to take some prep classes, cheered her up when her friends were awful to her or if she was bullied, and supported her in anything she did, as long as it was safe. When Harmony wanted to go into the choir, Ezekiel made sure to go to every performance he could. When Harmony wanted to do orchestra, Ezekiel helped her play the piano, which he already knew, and helped as much as he could when Harmony practised playing the flute for orchestra, even if he sucked at it in turn.

He just wanted the best for the younger girl, and in turn, Harmony managed to help him become the happy person he is today, and the two are very close still, as Harmony now goes to everything Ezekiel does, including his sports games. She also helps him practise at home, although what that really consists of it Ezekiel throwing the ball at her and Harmony, who barely makes it to Ezekiel's stomach in height, running after it since she usually can't catch it.

Harmony knew about the whole werewolf thing, as she was informed on it when she was at an age where she could comprehend it but declined the offer to turn her as well. She goes out with Ezekiel when he transforms, and Ezekiel tends to sit by her during it, acting like a large friendly dog around her. And since their forms tend to stay for the entire night, Harmony usually ends up using Ezekiel as a pillow halfway through it, not that he minds. If he wants to move he usually just lets the smaller girl sleep on his back as he walks anyways.
