body build

ectomorph

description: a lean and long body with a delicate frame, difficult to build on muscle and fat

eye colour & size

spruce/navy mix, average-sized

piercings

he has a small collection of earrings, but a pair he most often wears is one with a silver crescent moon on each that dangles off a thin metal link. The rest are mostly studs and the like.

scar

often covered up, he bears a semi-visible gnarly bite mark made by a particular ashen black wolf that literally changed his life

other noticeable features

his hair is pearl/platinum blonde in colour, the lower part and a few ends of his hair are coloured a cedar brown

forms

human

Corrado is pretty harmless in this form. he has no animal-esque features, and appearance-wise looks pretty feeble. he is not aggressive in this form and usually tends to choose flight over fight.

werewolf

when not in control of this form, Corrado can be quite dangerous, especially with an agile body and quick senses, he can easily take a bite out of someone's shoulder. highly aggressive and full of nothing but pure primal instinct to kill and eat, he's what an average person would call a classic monstrous werewolf. Corrado is smart, no doubt about it, but when he can't control himself then he will usually act before he thinks and will use brawn over brain.

fortunately for Corr, he will eventually learn how to control his wolf side and tame it. this will allow him partial control over his actions, and by partial control, it means that his animal instincts still play a big part. he's more thoughtful of his actions, plans out his attacks and knows who and what not to go after. this does not mean that he won't give them a good warning growl, even if he doesn't mean to.

full wolf/feral

in this form, he's just like a normal wolf. he's less aggressive than his werewolf form but not as ive as his human form. it's like a mix between both all in the body of a silver and dark grey canine. still dangerous under the right circumstances, so it is advised they leave as soon as possible or at least stay a safe distance away from him.

personality

positive

Corrado is a disciplined boy, through his parents' strict teachings. He often es up work early - if not, a little later - and tries his best in all subjects. even though he juggles the stress of his new werewolf life and the stress of school and its exams.

he is an extreme pacifist, especially after receiving his curse. often, he resorts to negotiation or fleeing rather than to use force, unlike Kasey(one of his closest, if not, the closest friend he has).

Pip is known to be an empathetic teen, towards both his fellow peers and fauna of various sorts. he's not a complete animal fanatic, but knows when to lend a helping hand to those in need, be it a struggling student or an injured bird.

he's reasonably forgiving, especially to those he looks up to or are on good with(which can cause problems later down the line). Corrado gives second chances, but as an average person should, knows when to draw the line.

neutral

he's someone who thinks through things rationally. well, most of the time, yes. sometimes, he just can't help but pick an irrational choice, perhaps due to emotions or instinct taking the wheel.

even though he looks pretty meek and feeble, and he might be, Corrado is selfless. although timid, from time to time, he tries to help out and protect his loved ones.

like any old teenager, Corrado is self-conscious. this may sound like a bad thing, but being overly aware of his actions have saved him from undesired situations. however, this awareness of his gets to him quite a bit, and Pip tends to feel self-conscious over little mundane things like eating, walking, etc. he seems to be just fine with it if he's with company.

and like any old teen, he's reserved. which is why he only has one close friend, and maybe a few acquaintances. he used to be quite the outgoing kid, but things had changed once his peers started to mock him for various things, like his hair and appearance amongst other superficial things.

negative

because of this bullying, it had changed his perception of himself as a person and Corrado started to become an overthinker. he would question if people did think differently of him, if they secretly held a grudge against him, if they disliked him, his looks, his personality, etc.

even though he stands up for others whenever he can, Corrado's demeanour is almost always described as timorous. this is one of the reasons why he gets bullied and picked on from middle to high school, since he can never muster up the courage to fight back or tell a trusted adult or authority, thinking it would be more of a burden if he did.

he's also a bit of a pessimistic kind of person, expecting the worst of the worst in situations. well, what anxiety-ridden teen wouldn't?

when experiencing his first few transformations into a werewolf, he had most definitely hurt some people in the process. once he turned back and was informed of this, he was filled with a lot of regret and blamed himself for all of it. even if he wasn't a werewolf, Corrado would still self-reproach. he is not one to dare point fingers or shift the blame to someone else in case he made them feel horrible, even if they were the ones who were in the wrong, so he always blames at least some part of it on himself. it's a bad habit he's trying his best at correcting, although trying is the part most emphasised.

usual mood

it's common to see him in a funk or to see a frown on his face. Corrado isn't the most happy-go-lucky, sunshine and rainbows kind of guy, little negative things always get him down.

it's also common to see a smile on him too, but this usually is seen when he's around Kasey and when he's out in the forest.

rare mood

even though him being sad is not something uncommon for Corrado, if he refuses to interact with anyone or intentionally isolates himself, especially from Kasey, then it's definitely something to be concerned about.

more often than not, Corrado is seen wearing slightly oversized sweaters with either simple designs on them, simple patterns or just plain old solid colours as casual wear, along with grey sweatpants and sneakers.

for school wear, he tends to wear long-sleeved shirts with simple patterns and designs. nothing too embarrassing. he likes to wear patterns mostly.

in his closet, he also has a few normal shirts, pants, jeans, shorts and a fair few hoodies too.

history/biography

Corrado Pippenger was a normal boy.

Well, was.

Aged sixteen and in high school, he had never considered himself smart and yet there he was, near the top of the class, so he was likely doing something right. He was a Celtic-German mix because of his parents (his mother and father respectively), and they decided to move overseas to Salem, Oregon (a notorious city) shortly before his birth. Corra, despite being a teen in Salem (Oregon), moved in with his best friend Kasey instead of with his parents because of... well, reasons. Reasons he wasn't too fond of thinking about. Kasey was a good friend and was pretty independent (although her parents paid for rent, he’d have to repay them for being so kind as to do this for them); she was like a pillar for him, they were there for each other since fifth grade (their teacher had told him to help her, the new kid, with math since he’d already finished his worksheet and would rather choose to be helpful rather than play games).

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

Pip, as Kasey loved to call him(despite his obvious disdain to that nickname), was used to exploring the forest most of the time when he was done with schoolwork, and he didn’t exactly have anyone else to be around considering all the other people that either called him an old man, avoided him so they too wouldn't be the next target of bullying or didn't want to be around him because of the rumours spread by the popular kids. The forest was calm and quiet. There were no kids there to make fun of him, no parents that would look at him with disappointment for being a few marks short on his assignments and most importantly, no expectations or prerequisites. He could just play and have fun like a kid, who was going to judge him there? The trees? The animals? And after meeting his best friend, they started to visit the idyllic place together.

As time ed though, Corrado had eventually grown out of running around the forest with Kasey and now just preferred to look at the pretty landscape amongst them, as well as watching Kasey run and climb trees and use up all her energy. Ah, the simple middle school days while they lasted. Short-lived, but fun nevertheless.

High school was a whole new nightmare, however. Middle school had been short and he had Kasey with him through it all. He hadn’t made many other friends, except for Kasey who’d gotten him into sports but he didn't really mind. Besides, Kas made sure to keep going with him to the forest where they completed their work together - but high school was when everything went wrong. Bullies from elementary school showed up again, Kasey was spoken badly about for associating with Corr, everything was much more stressful with extra work and while he was able to keep up in class... he was questioning his own abilities academically. He had less time to spend in the forest which didn’t help raise his mood but only sunk it drastically, and his parents started to constantly harp on about what he was supposed to do, what he was supposed to be, and what he was supposed to be like - it was a few months into this awful cycle that finally things got better.

Kasey basically made him move in with her to a flat in town through a load of convincing on her part and he couldn’t have been more grateful for it. His parents thought little of this change and instead saw it as him finally taking the initiative to be his own person like they've wanted him to be, not even thinking that this might be him escaping them and their crushing expectations. Things simmered down as Kasey stood her ground to people and how they spoke behind their backs through either brute force or threatening them with a nail-filled bat, though the few souls from elementary school never stopped and started to target Pip and corner him when Kas wasn’t around. But he could endure it, he’d always endured whatever life threw at him. Nothing had changed.

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

But oh, how he wished everything had stayed that way. It was a super moon on that fateful day, a super moon on a full moon night, to be exact, and the best part was that it was the weekend so he could stay up later than usual. Kasey was beat from all her sports activities - why she ed baseball in the fall when she was already on the tennis spring team and top of running track was beyond him; hell, she’d even taken taekwondo when they were in middle school and dragged him along for it too - but she’d told him to take pictures for her even if he had persistently told her that pictures would never compare to the real thing.

Corrado was regretting not just looking at this special moon from the window of their flat, but since he was a sentimental guy, he had this urge to see this from the forest like he always used to- it had been a huge mistake, a mistake that had changed his life forever.

It had been silent, and he should’ve noticed this eerie silence when he had the chance to but he willfully ignored it... it was just so peaceful and nostalgic that he simply couldn't resist. The forest was like a second home considering how much he’d escaped into its shadowed arms through his childhood- he had let himself forget that as wonderful as the forest at the skirts of the town may be, it was still a dangerous, dangerous place. Corrado heard the howling of a wolf for the first time in... ever really, there weren’t usually wolves in Salem. There were wolves that moved around the place but none that lingered here long enough into the dying autumn season, following the herds out of town before winter arrived. He tried to do the smart thing and go home right then and there, he had already seen the full super moon and that was that, but... the forest didn’t look the same. Where he came from and where he should be going had blurred a while ago; the skies providing no aid to help him (he’d never been good at figuring out directions based on the constellations) and his phone refusing to turn on for some reason... but the teen felt like he wasn’t alone here anymore and had to go, and it wasn’t like he didn’t try; Pip tried to retrace his own steps but the once familiar trail seemed to have vanished and the trees were too tall to peer over for signs of civilization of any sort. He was never a good climber, that was Kasey's speciality, and was it just him or did the trees seem taller than usual? He walked along in a straight line between those trees, and it was clear that all he wanted to do was to leave, now.

As he walked, something growled from behind him. The boy whipped around to see something hidden by the shadow of trees, staring at him with golden eyes. Just looking at this thing raised goosebumps on his skin and made his hairs stand on end as he took a step back. In response, it took a step forward, out of the shadows and into the bright moonlight came an ashen black paw... like a wolf’s but not right for God knows what reason.

Corrado made the clever choice of running into the forest to try and lose this thing and- curses, he crashed to the forest floor and winced at the scrapes that had inevitably appeared on his skin. His foot had caught on a gnarly tree root and the angle of how he had fallen had him wincing in more pain, his ankle throbbing in irritation at being sprained. Pip cursed at how easily a single misstep could cripple him and had almost forgotten that there were more important things at hand... like that pawed black thing with golden eyes, however it made sure to remind Pip that his presence hadn't gone unnoticed.

The boy looked back up when a snarl was heard, presumably directed at him. In a startled panic, he tried to scramble backwards but his back hit a tree, just as the golden eyes locked onto him once again. The indescribable creature stepped closer, the light of the moon shining through patches where no leaves lay and revealed... a dark grey - almost black, even - furred thing that looked like a wolf, but it seemed rather off. It took a while for Pip to realize what it was, and began to accept his probable fate in this situation... its eyes weren’t normal.

Have you ever had a feeling that someone was staring through you? Yeah, this wolf-like creature wasn’t staring at him like a normal wolf would’ve... it seemed to straddle the line of intelligent and feral and it absolutely terrified Pip, but he was pulled out of his thoughts when, without warning, the 'wolf-thing' (as he’d dubbed it) lunged at him and in pure reflex, Corrado held up his arms to protect his face and neck. The feeling of having the wolf’s fangs sink into his bare forearm was indescribably painful - so of course, he screamed in pain as the creature bit harder (as if trying to imprint the shape of its teeth in his arms), and the teen did the only thing he could think to do. With his free hand, he grabbed some dirt and threw it in the thing’s face, desperately hoping that it would give himself a short amount of time to escape.

It let his arm go, now busy pawing uselessly at its eyes, just like a human would, in an attempt to clear the debris out of them. Corrado grabbed the nearest tree branch he could reach and whilst enduring the throbbing pain of his ankle, held himself up and pulled himself onto another neighbouring tree branch as best he could. The teen didn’t dare go higher, but hopefully, he was out of that thing’s reach. His arm was bleeding and stung badly. He hadn’t prepared for this... the boy made himself as small as possible against the tree’s trunk and held his arm against himself, hoping it wouldn’t get infected and that the wolf-thing couldn’t climb trees.

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

He eventually woke up, though not in the tree to his befuddlement. He was... he was on a park bench. But... he’d been in the forest, hadn’t he? He’d gotten attacked and- Pip was quick to look at his arm that was now... bandaged? And then his ankle that... had a splint. Where did the splint even come from- what? Kasey found him on the park bench during her morning run and promptly - out of what must have been concern - chewed him out right then and there, before seeing his bandaged arm and splint and asking who hurt him so badly. Corra didn’t have an answer so he told her as much as he could , though he could clearly see the confusion in his best friend's face. She didn’t say much else in reply to his long story and simply brought him to his feet to go home, remarking that this full super moon better have been worth it. Even until now, Corrado was still convinced that no, it wasn’t. It wasn’t in the slightest.

It was the next night that he started to worry over what was going to happen now that things had changed; that his life had changed so drastically. As he internally panicked and dealt with his nightly anxiety alone in the house - Kasey had agreed to go visit her parents that day, after weeks of excuses to avoid doing so - the moonlight streamed in and- it seemed brighter to him. Without warning, he collapsed onto the floor and cried out in pain as he felt like the bones in his legs and back were being stretched like rubber bands, and his skin was being stabbed from the inside out hundreds of times a second. His face stung painfully- the pain seemed to be so constant that his vision was blurring, and only seemed to come back whilst he internally had a meltdown over what the ever-loving hell was happening to him right now. Corrado laid on the floor, whining softly in pain. His head was foggy and everything felt strange- the sounds were too loud, the smells in the living space were too much and everything was giving him a headache and- before he blacked out entirely he looked down at his hand... it was covered in pale silvery-white fur down to near the pads of his fingers, and his entire forearm, that he could see. His nails turned into shiny black claws, and his injured forearm began to sprout dark grey patches of fur that formed a very clear outline of a bite mark. He should’ve known why the wolf-thing looked wrong. Hell, he had known of his town’s history - the Salem Witch Trials and what had happened afterwards according to the surviving locals.

"I--I'm-," He croaked out, barely able to form a full sentence through the pain he was experiencing. As his world started fading to black, he could feel himself losing total control over his body- over his mind. It was as if a demon was taking over- a parasite. The pain clouded his thoughts and his urgent need to call out for help was blocked by an invisible force in his throat; he tried his best to fight it, however, the urge to let go of himself grew stronger and stronger until he was simply unable to hold on any longer. With a final, ear-splitting howl, the Corrado who once owned this body lost control, and the terrifying creature took over as his nightmarish life began all over again.
