Character Name: Ember Sunka (shoon-kah)
Character Age: 21
Character Gender/Pronouns: Female (She/her)
Profession: Ex-Enslaved Gladiator

Human Appearance: Ember stands fairly tall at around 5"6' with an athletic, muscular build. She has dark auburn brown hair and dark bronze skin. Her ears are rounded and overall, she looks human. Except for her gold-colored eyes with black slits for pupils. They betray her animalistic heritage. Many scars cover Ember's body, but the most notable is the claw-shaped mark running down the left side of her face. Ember's wardrobe is composed of simple dark clothing that allows for easy movement.

Wolf Appearance: When shifted, Ember is about 9ft tall, with rather long fur on her legs, forearms, and mane. Her coat is a dark red and brownish color, with a mixture of black and gray fur on her forearms, calves, around her eyes, and on her muzzle. Her eyes are bright gold with black slits for pupils, that disappear when in a feral state.

Personality Description: People first meeting Ember would likely describe her as quiet, stoic, and rather unfriendly. She's rather distrustful of strangers, so she doesn't speak to them much. Ember also tries to keep her emotions to herself, not showing that level of vulnerability to folks she's just met. Because of this, Ember seems very unkind and standoffish. Upon getting to further know her though, one would learn Ember is quite dutiful, courageous, and even rather ambitious. Give her a cause with fighting for and Ember regains that spark of spirit she'd lost so long ago. She's always one to help her pack, even with those she doesn't get along with. Ember doesn't shy away from most things that scare her. She tries to face most of her fears head-on, with claws, fangs, and rage.

-Wolf On Her Sleeve: Whenever she's feeling very intense, negative, emotions (fear, anger, sadness), Ember begins to involuntarily transform. Her eyes will glow yellow, her teeth and nails begin to sharpen and elongate into fangs and claws, her ears will grow to a point, and fur will grow on her arms. Once this happens she's usually able to take the cue to go and decompress, but not always.
-Loss of Control: Due to the trauma she endured during her enslavement, whenever Ember transforms, there's a chance she can go feral. This essentially means her behavior is equivalent to that of a werewolf during a full moon. There are no friends, only foes. She'll attack anyone in sight, even her dearest companions. Because of this, Ember seldom transforms, only doing so when absolutely necessary.
+High Alert: After living in a continuous state of anxiousness for so long, Ember is on constant high alert. There's never a moment where she isn't constantly listening or smelling everything around her.
+Battle Tactics: She's learned quite a few things from fighting in the pits day in and day out. Smaller enemies tend to be quicker, don't let them tire you out. The ground is her turf, grappling is gonna usually be her best go-to. Fighting with your pack is always better than going in solo.

Backstory:
The church met all kinds of resistance from the werewolves during and after the Silver Crusade. The Silver Slaughter as many werewolves came to see it as. One of these resistance groups was an ensemble of werewolves who called themselves the Crimson Howlers. Even after the slaughter, the Howlers remained, feeling their mission was far from complete. No one else in Avishkar was going to protect them from the vir who wished to do them harm. Violence against werewolves was high and the Howlers vowed to help their kin, taking an equally violent approach towards those who would hurt them. The fear and hate the vir felt towards werewolves was going nowhere anytime soon, and the Howlers had long since realized peace was no longer on the table.

Growing up knowing nothing but hate against her kind, Ember was drawn to the Howlers. Perhaps it was her tenacity and fiery spirit. Perhaps it was simply because numbers were steadily dwindling. Whatever the reason, at sixteen years of age, Ember underwent the initiation process and became a Crimson Howler. She traveled far and wide across Eberron with her Lycan brothers and sisters, fighting against the injustices brought upon her people. She loved it. She lived for it.

One singular moment would completely change the trajectory of Ember's life. The ambush. It was well-planned and well-executed. Their ranks were the lowest they'd ever been. Perhaps that's why the slavers decided that was the opportune time to strike. Ember and the Howlers, all 16 of them, were captured. None killed. They'd soon find out why.

Vir would pay good money to watch werewolves tear each other apart. Ember and her brethren were subdued and made to fight in an underground arena. After all, they were werewolves. Who was going to come to their aid? Especially when they were such good entertainment. Slowly but surely, for five years, Ember watched from afar as her brethren, her family, were either killed in the ring or sold off, never to be seen or heard from again. This hardened the once free-spirited and hopeful young woman, turning her stoic and cold. That fire within her, once burning for hope, for the future of her fellow werewolves, was now fueled by pure unadulterated rage.

Escape came by pure chance. There had been a fire. Her handler, in his rush to help put it out, hadn't properly locked her cell door. Ember still remembers hearing how loudly her heart pounded in her ears. Remembers feeling more scared in that moment than she'd ever been when in the arena. Her freedom was right in front of her, and she dare not let it slip away.

Motivations/Goals: Ember seeks to reunite with her pack and take revenge on her captors. She'd also like to see the complete downfall of the vir.

Feelings on the "Curse": Before her enslavement, Ember was certain her lycan nature was a gift. Being a werewolf helped her accomplish incredible feats of speed, strength, and agility. She was powerful. She was invincible...After her enslavement though, Ember's been feeling, conflicted, about her nature. She'd have never been in that situation in the first place had she not been a werewolf. She can no longer easily shrug off the hateful remarks she hears about her kind, hating to admit that she now feels a sting to words like "monster," "beast," and "animal."

Marked?: Ember is marked. She got her mark when her pack was captured.

Forum or Discord?: I'm good with either, though I do say I'm kinda leaning more towards Discord.
Yes or No to Dicerolls?: I'm all for dice rolls!

Other: I'm super excited to start this and build a fun world/RP with you guys! <3
