Physical Description

In human form, Lawrence stands at six ft two inches with a scrawny build. Sandy brown hair that's a bit on the pale side; having more of a creamish tint to it in certain lighting, white skin, and green eyes. His hair is rather long and messy looking, going down the center of his back just a little past the shoulder blades. There are times when he's excited, freaking out, or nervous, that a pair of wolf ears appear on his head and a large bushy tail appears. The ears are brown with the insides of them being white and the tail shares his sandy brown hair with the tip being brown and the underfur being white. Clothing wise, Lawrence is often seen wearing his old white lab coat over a long sleeved shirt that is taupe in color with a mahogany design near the bottom and at the top that drapes onto his shoulders a little bit. His pant are usually grey; though he does have a few pairs of black and brown ones. His shoes are always black.

His other form takes after the European style werewolves, a large beast that stands on it's hind legs and still holds the usage of their front paws in the form of hands; though they have a paw like hand look that allows for him to grab things yet sporting large black claws. On his hind legs, Lawrence now stands at eight ft having and their scrawny build is lost, replaced with more muscle. A main reason why he looks much larger is due to the thick sandy brown fur that he sports as well. Along his back there is a brown marking that stops at the start of his tail and starts at the center of his back. His front paws are white while his hind paws keep the sandy brown color. His eyes remain green while the whites of his eyes take on a yellow tint. Often though during his transformation, his eyes do turn yellow for a few seconds up to a minute depending on how long he's resisting the change; during this eye change is often a indicator that there is little chance of calming him down enough to prevent a transformation.

A noteworthy thing after a transformation, is how tired and weak Lawrence looks. Sometimes he'll even have bags under his eyes if he's been awake all night in a transformed state and he often looks ready to collapse.

Personality

Before the incident, Lawrence was a rather happy guy who was able to kick back and have fun with his friends when the need arose. However he always knew when the right time of place it was to do that. At work, he is a focused individual and often has a serious demeanor with no desire for jokes or practical pranks in the work place. Towards his coworkers, he was often just on friendly term with them though he often got nervous and stuttered when interacting with Jenna whom he had stronger feelings for. These feelings were never admitted to her as he was too nervous to tell her and felt that she wouldn't want him when there were better men out there.

The incident has affected him greatly. Prone to panic attacks as well as anxiety, Lawrence is a nervous wreck of his former self. The wolf side he now holds has influence over his human side, making him quick to anger and sometimes rather harsh with angry words. Whenever he snaps at someone, he does apologize and feel horrible about it. In truth, he's terrified of himself now and yet he has no idea on how to fix himself. Even with his new issues, Lawrence still tries to have fun although he does his hardest to keep a eye out to make sure things don't get to wild. He hates it when people argue, the raised voices and tones of voice just strike a bad nerve with him as it annoys him, which can lead to him losing control.

Some things remain the same however, a kind man with a loyal heart to those he becomes close to. A man of intellect, he prefers to use words and reasoning to overcome obstacles. When transformed though he behaves more like a feral animal than a man with a good amount of intelligence. Often acting out more on instinct and emotion than anything.

History

LAWRENCE HARBINGER was born in YE 12 in the city of NEPLESIA.

Born as the only child to Jubilee and Banner Harbinger, the family was a small one but a happy one. Both of his parents were in the scientific field, resulting in the youngster being curious in the subject and as he grew up, he wanted to become a scientist. A bland childhood was what he had though, nothing exciting ever happened as his parents both worked hard for a company yet neither made any grand discovers or created anything galaxy aiding. It was when he turned eighteen and graduated school that things started to take a interesting turn.

College was the first stop on his list and as we all know, college can be…daunting. The first week wasn't too bad, he had settled into the room alright but he had a roommate. Condor Alcra was their name, a rather arrogant and self centered man who was going in for the same thing as Lawrence. However they often made their views of Lawrence clear, seeing the man as inferior due to them having come from Neplesia; as Condor was from Yamatai and their parents had raised him to believe that Yamatai was more superior than the rejects out on Neplesia. For the longest time, Lawrence did his best to ignore his roommate but Condor took ever chance to make their coexistence worse.The one bright side while there, was a woman named Jenna. The two got along greatly and Lawrence would've preferred her to be his roommate over Condor. The few times he was able to interact with her outside of college were always fun, in fact Lawrence realized that he started to like her a bit too much.

This realization came at the end of college however when the chance of not seeing her again came to him. Sadly, he was unable to find her after the ceremony to tell her that he wanted to see her again some time. Choosing to remain on Neplesia, Lawrence got employment at a different company than his parents. To his displeasure, Condor was there. Lawrence actually had better grades and skills than Condor, making the other man both annoyed and a little jealous; though more annoyed at the fact he was stuck in Neplesia now with Lawrence. Once again, Lawrence tried to ignore them and the first year of work wasn't too bad. That was going to change sadly as a criminal group had ties into the company. In fact, it was Lawrence's boss who worked for the criminals and one day he approached Lawrence. They had come to him with a idea, no one fully understood how the Lmanel were able to shape shift into one species of their choosing. Curious and excited, Lawrence agreed thinking he was doing this research as a way to better understand a species.

A couple of years passed with little results as Lawrence tried to recreate the change in the genetics of Lmanel when they choose a species and shape shifted. Condor had caught wind of this project though he was unaware of who wanted it. The criminals wanted a way to better empower their henchman, to pull off better crime, and make sure the cops couldn't stop em. One day, Lawrence had to leave his lab for a few minutes and while he was gone, Condor snuck in and altered a testing formula with Kassirine however what he used was defective and he altered the serum in other ways. Once done, he hid till Lawrence came back. Immediately the young man noticed the color change in the serum and was about to drum it up to being too warm or perhaps he had done something wrong, when Condor came out and took the vial and was quick to inject it into Lawrence. Angered by this and not knowing what was going on, Lawrence started yelling at Condor until he felt it kick in. Unable to stop what was happening and filled with a great deal of pain, Lawrence felt his mind go blank eventually though what he turned into was clearly different than what was expected.

The serum had the genetics of a wolf in it, to try and make the user shift into one. However due to the defective Kassirine mixing with everything else, the form given was more of a werewolf from old Earth Tales. Another effect was that the scientist's intelligence was replaced by the natural instinct and feral tendencies of a wolf, though this one was a very pissed off one as it proceeded to attack Condor before being sealed in the lab. The lab wasn't outfitted to hold a beast in it that was stronger than a normal human; as clear due to his new size in height and muscle, having found a weak spot in the material of the wall, he managed to escape through destroying that part of it and from there, got out of the building. When Lawrence awoke, he found himself at home but his clothes destroyed; save for a small bit of his pants that managed to stay on. Not able to remember anything during his time in his other form, Lawrence did recall being injected with the serum and he felt his heart drop. Running a few tests in his home with inferior equipment than his lab, Lawrence took note how the serum had attached to his cells and was being produced with them now. Having no idea on what to do to fix himself, he started to panic and that's when he started to feel it again. Realizing that the change was triggered through adrenaline and a high heart rate, he did his best to calm down and it worked that time. But that didn't stop worried filled thoughts in his head. He could literally lose control at any minute if he couldn't keep his emotions in check.

Seeing that he couldn't stay in Neplesia despite their acceptance on mutants, Lawrence packed a few of his things and ran for it. The Criminal Organization didn't take well to this and while he's unaware of them still, there's no doubt that they'll send someone after him.
