➤ Character
Name: Shirou Oogami, Silver Wolf
Canon: Brand New Animal
Canon Point: Episode 12 - Anima City, Epilogue
Age: Looks 23, actually over a thousand years old.
History: History here
Personality:
Strengths
◃ Calm and decisive - Shirou approaches the world rather calmly. He has an all-business sort of approach to life. What can he do to protect those under his protection? What problems need to be chased? He handles what needs to be handled and moves on, not bothering to stick around once the problem is resolved. There's only a few exceptions to this rule, covered below.
◃ Loyal - Once people earn his trust it is difficult to break it. He will begin to actively want them around and show it in small ways like asking their plans and seek them out. If he comes to believe and trust in a government then his skills are open to them with no asking necessary. He will simply be there when needed for once he lets someone in, he is devoted. As a friend and a protector.
◃ Caring - It is because he cares that Shirou steps between others and danger. He will choose the less violent path because he doesn’t want things to come into conflict. When others are hurting he will reach out and offer advice. He does his best to comfort in his own stilted way. It could be something small like offering food or simply sitting nearby.
Weaknesses
▹ Anger issues - When angry it’s difficult for Shirou to stop. Like a runaway train, it keeps going and he barely will stop from going too far. He isn’t fully aware of just how deep his rage over the past goes. When his ire rises he doesn’t listen to reason and is prone to snap decisions. It doesn’t matter how close someone is to him. The moment his anger turns to rage, he’s not reasonable. It's rare he gets this far and all relate to treating others like objects/things to be put down, and threats to his people.
▹ Lone wolf - Shirou sees most plans ending with him standing in the path of danger on his own. He will seek to take the most punishment from attacks and deal with his personal matters himself. He will try to default to this even as talks to other people and builds up contacts.
▹ Guardian role - He has been the protector of beastmen for so long he doesn’t really know himself outside of that. He desires freedom for all beastmen while being locked up in his own role and has trouble seeing himself as an individual. His control over himself is absolute in this matter. He hides his power so other beastmen don’t look to him as a god. But this isolates him even from others of his own kind. It’s safe to say no one has truly known him in eons, even himself.
▹ Cynicism - It is difficult to earn Shirou’s trust. Since the tragedy that made him essentially a god, he has never trusted anyone non-beastmen. Even when someone gives all they have, he will expect the other shoe to fall or for them to side with their own kind. He is always looking for threats and will take on the responsibility without asking for help. He sees the problems before he sees anything else. It’s the double-edged sword that makes it hard for him to see people trying to change or even help him. He is aware of just how rigid he is and has a longing for this to change.
✶ Greatest Motivation
Peace. He has devoted everything to saving the beastmen and being their protector. He will solve the problems in the way of peace by word or by force depending on what is needed. Whether it’s only a little force or putting the full power of the Silver Wolf into it, he will do what he must for peace. In this world it will be no different. He will fight for the peace that will eventually lead him back to where he belongs.
✶ Mundane Interests
Almost everything he does is tied to his role as protector of the Beastmen. From social work to helping the mayor silently settle matters outside of the laws, he has fully dedicated himself to his people. But it has been noted by himself that he likes baseball.
✶ New Situations
Shirou is going to be off-balance. There are no other beastmen around and he’ll struggle at first to figure out how to process that. But he’s investigated and tracked down problems for as long as he’s been the self-proclaimed protector beastmen and that mindset will be his saving grace. He’ll seek out the answers to the problems and pursue them to whatever ends they come to. As people come to know him and treat him as a person he’ll slowly open up to them. No matter what when people are in danger he’ll be on the front lines charging into the fray.
Abilities:
Note: I’m aware all of this will be nerfed and he can regain it over time. Utterly fine with him reduced to human levels.
☆ Beastman - Shirou is capable of switching between human and anthropomorphic wolf whenever he feels like it. If his emotions are high the shift is automatic even if he just shifted to human. He’s faster and stronger than a normal human. He can crush steel and tear apart machines with his claws or fists. Run up walls and kick off them to get to the top of a building. He favors hand-to-hand combat. It’s a style he’s used for eons. Physically he can be cut and broken just like anyone else. The difference is he can regenerate from it. This difference will be covered in a separate section below.
A wolf beastman, Shirou’s sense of smell is superior among types of beastmen. He can track any scent to its source. For him, scents hold memories and he can see them clearly. It’s how he comes to realize the protagonist’s story about being human is true. If he ever regains this ability, I’ll have a permission post set up for what he can and can’t pick up. As a note - the protagonist does this same sense of smell trick when shifted to wolf. The series never makes it clear if it’s because he’s Transcended that he has it or not, I’ll leave it up to mod judgment.
☆ Transcended/Silver Wolf - When the city of Nirvasyl was slaughtered, the collected blood and will of the beastmen transformed Shirou into an immortal Beastman of great power. When he transforms into a full animal-shaped beast form, he's even stronger and faster than his beastman form. His body seemingly bends to his will, his shoulders becoming blades or wings. He looks a bit like a glowing white wind or a blazing star up above when he strikes targets. When he cuts something pretty much anything has fallen apart. Regeneration is nearly instant for something like a cut, being shot, or broken bones. Being impaled and all takes longer to heal at least a transformation and then rest for a whole day. When he focuses his power through his howl the results are devastating laser.
It's important to note even in his usual beastman form because he’s transcended, he's stronger and faster than the average beastman. Other beastmen can’t fall from a skyscraper into the ground and get back up. Or crush a machine with a strike of their fist. It puts him on equal footing with stronger beastmen types like lions and rhinos. He can even battle a berserk beastman even if he can’t overcome one without going into Silver Wolf form.
☆ Immortality/Durability - Shirou's usually functionally immortal with the souls of the dead keeping him from letting himself die. His previously mentioned regeneration happens in minutes except for grave injuries. Those it seems take at least a bit (he was being really careful for a whole day in canon) unless he takes Silver Wolf form. I understand if this gets permanently locked and am fine with that.
Inventory: His clothes, his cellphone, a wallet (all of the contents now useless), and a leather collar.
Vision: Anemo
Reason: Despite how much Shirou has lost, his vision for the future is a gentle one. He desires for the Beastmen to find peace and be free to be themselves without judgment or fear. As of late that includes being in harmony with humans. He places the responsibility of protecting his fellow beastman solely on his own shoulders. His sense of responsibility and duty to his people has endured for eons preventing him from letting go.
Role: Aggressive tank. He’s used to taking the punishment and continuing to fight on. He won’t change that even when he’s less sturdy. It’s difficult to change what has worked for eons.
Constellation: A howling wolf or a clawed hand.
