Powers:
Curse of Lycanthrope:
Ethan is cursed with lycanthrope, becoming a werewolf on the nights of the full moon. As a blessing and a curse, Ethan has several advantages as being a werewolf, including his increased skill, dexterity, endurance, and strength. Ethan’s abilities include:

• Tracking: Ethan can track with Rm (30) ability.
• Natural Weaponry: Claws: Ethan can rend flesh with Ex (20) ability, halving effective body armor. Ethan’s attacks are considered mystical and slashing.
• Hyper Running: Ethan can move at Gd (10) land-speed when transformed.
• Natural Weaponry: Bite: Ethan can do Rm (30) edged damage with a bite, and may be able to spread lycanthrope with such. Ethan’s bite requires the victim to make an Endurance FEAT vs. Rm (30) intensity or contract the disease/curse.
• Berserker: Ethan has no control of himself while transformed, rending friend and foe alike when the beast takes over. Ethan has only faintest memories of what he has done while a beast, and may indeed be responsible for several murders in London and definitely responsible for the Mariner Inn massacre. The only person who seems to be able to calm Ethan at any level is Vanessa Ives.
• The God’s Wolf (Wolf of God): Ethan is recognized as something special and is dangerous in the presence of the night comers and infected. As such, Ethan does +1cs damage when facing either while transformed.
• Predatory Senses: Ethan’s senses are slightly greater while in human form, partially allowing for his impressive reflexes, reactions, and sight. Ethan is considered to have Pr (04) enhanced senses while in human form, and Ex (20) enhanced senses while in his transformed state.
• Affinity with wolves: Ethan can seemingly bond and perhaps even control wolves with Gd (10) ability.

Contacts:
Ethan has few contacts that he’ll rely on. Sir Malcolm Murray sees Ethan as a surrogate son, Sembe while alive would consider Ethan a friend. Ethan was close to Dorian Gray at one time and Victor Frankenstein, but one would assume that neither are as close after the last events of the Penny Dreadful series. Kaetenay would be considered a contact, Hecate Poole if she had lived. Ferdinand Lyle, a director for the British Museum seems rather taken with Ethan, but Ethan’s best contact would be Vanessa Ives.


Limitations:

• Cursed: Ethan is cursed with Lycanthrope, and has no control of himself at any level when transformed. Ethan is bound to the lunar cycle, and has often lost control with no memory of his actions.
• Hunted: Ethan is hunted by his father, who has sent bounty hunters to return him to the United States. As such, Ethan is pursued and assumes several identities. Ethan’s father has Rm (30) resources to spend on such a thing (in Victorian times, In (40) in modern day) to bring Ethan home.
• Wanted: Ethan is wanted for his actions in the Mariner Inn Massacre and the belief he is tied to subsequent killings. As such, Ethan is considered a person of interest in several murders and actively pursued by Scotland Yard.
• Loyal:Ethan is extraordinarily loyal to Vanessa Ives, and would do anything for her.
