    History: Here.

    Personality:
    Isaac starts out as that quiet boy with only a bicycle and a black eye, nervous in the presence of his abusive father and laughed at by the girls he asks out. Digging graves in the middle of the night scared him a lot less than family dinners, probably because his father's idea of discipline was to lock him in a freezer. And that's when he wasn't kicking the crap out of him for the neighbors to hear. He was powerless, until someone came along and offered him a hand.

    A hand and some teeth, because desperate teenagers were exactly the sort that Derek was looking for to fill out his pack. Isaac was offered the bite that would turn him into a werewolf, giving him the power that he so severely lacked in his everyday life. And the bite does give him confidence - along with increased speed, strength, and healing factor. Oh, and a small urge to maim and kill from time to time. Isaac becomes cocky, with a tendency to be excessively physical. He did a one-eighty from the boy he was before, the one who held a lot inside but would do anything to avoid a confrontation.

    Isaac is a member of the pack, and not a leader. He will question his Alpha, but he'll still follow his orders and go along with his plans, even if those plans include kidnapping or roughing someone up. He isn't always the blind follower though, and proves that he can think for himself. When Boyd and Erica decide to leave, Isaac stays, despite stating that he has no one to really stay for. It's more than just an instinctual urge to protect his Alpha, or even his fledgling friendship and admiration of Scott. In Isaac's own words, he didn't just come to help, he "came to win", displaying a new found confidence and a loyalty of his choosing. It also took some guts - the kanima had already proven that it wasn't something to play around with. But someone needed to stop what was happening.

    Isaac shows that he's capable of forgiveness. We don't see him crying and tearing at his hair when his father is killed. He even goes to school and lacrosse practice the next day like nothing happened. And yet it's his father who becomes his anchor during the full moon. Isaac uses the memories of better days to keep in touch with his human side and give him control. Notably, he uses that control to help Derek with Boyd and Erica.

    Trust from Isaac isn't automatically given, but he will listen to those who earn it. He asks Scott for his advice, and says that it's because Scott always tries to do the right thing, suggesting that Isaac really wants to do the right thing too. And for all that he likes just a little bit of roughness, he displays tenderness too, shedding a few tears when he uses his power to take away some of a sick dog's pain.

    The influence of others seems to play a large part in the evolution of Isaac's personality. With his father, abuse made him nervous and quiet. Derek and his pack made him confident, but no less a beta. Scott seems to be his newest influence, and all it took was for the other boy to show a little concern for Isaac, a thing which hadn't happened for a long time. At the end of the day (or night) Isaac is a supportive member of his pack, and not quite the big bad wolf that he seems.


    Powers/Abilties:
    Like every werewolf ever, Isaac transforms under the full moon. He has found his "anchor", which means he gained control over his homicidal tendencies on those nights. He has enhanced speed, strength, and agility, though not at superhuman levels. He has heightened senses as well, which can do anything from hearing the quickening heartbeat of someone lying to him, or smelling sickness on a person. Werewolves also have accelerated healing, which can be used to help others through pain transference. He might not be able to save someone from dying, but he can take away some of their pain.

    Appearance:


    And he's tall, too.

    Prose Sample:

    Isaac watches the screen, torn between wanting to fight something and wanting to cower in a corner. Everything about the world is muted again, and that powerless feeling is trying to creep back in under his skin. It could be worse, he thinks. He's not exactly a stranger to work. He used to pull all-nighters for his dad and then bike right to school, with barely time for a shower in-between. And it's not like he's going to be here forever. What was it again, twenty-something years to pay off his debt?

    Man, that feels like forever. Wouldn't that put him in his forties?

    He shouldn't go outside. Others advise against it, because it's dark and cold, and his senses aren't anything special anymore. But Isaac has to get out, at least for a little while. Everything feels like it's closing in, and he wants to scream and kick and fight against it, no matter how pointless it is. It's like being back inside the freezer in his basement.

    Outside's a little like being in a freezer too. The air is colder than anything he's ever known in California, and it escapes his mouth in frosty little clouds. But at least he's breathing, and it does help clear his head. A temple. He's actually standing in front of a temple, and it's so much stranger than anything that's happened in Beacon Hills. And that's saying something. For the first time in awhile, Isaac really wishes he had his bike, so he could ride off in any direction.

    Ride where, exactly?

    The cynical, sarcastic little voice inside his head decides to chime in. Isaac looks back over his shoulder, and even in the pitch black, he can barely make out the outline of trees. He tells himself that the shivering is just from the cold, because even before he was a werewolf fighting off hunters and giant lizards, he was a boy who dug graves under the moonlight. But things are different now. He's still figuring out just how different, and there's no one around to give him any hints.

    So until he figures it out on his own, the smart thing to do would be to just go back inside and figure out how he's going to pay off his debt.
