Garry "Garou" Villette*

[JamesRenard*]

Name: Garry "Garou" Villette
Gender: Male
Age: 17
School: Colehurst Secondary School
Hobbies and Interests: werewolves, wolves, astronomy, ice skating, ice hockey

Appearance: Garry is of above-average height, being 5'11" tall. At 182lb, he is on the verge of being overweight, though the added weight is from larger muscle mass after continued exercise and not from any excess fat buildup. He has long scruffy black hair that he ties back into a ponytail to keep it out of his face, with a fringe that just reaches the top of his eyes and nearly covers his matching color eyebrows. He has a thick black mustache and a thick black beard extending from ear to ear. His eyes are brown, although he likes to wear gold-colored contacts from time to time, purely for aesthetic reasons and not to improve his sight. His skin is fairly pale, from where he spends most of his time indoors.

When he was abducted, he was wearing a black T-shirt depicting a wolf howling at the full moon, dark grey jeans and black tennis shoes. He had his gold contacts on at the time.

Biography: Garry was born to parents Maurice and Elise Villette in Highland Beach, where he has lived all his life. His parents originally lived in Montreal, Quebec, before a transfer in his father's job saw them move to the Highland Beach area nine years prior to Garry's birth. He has two brothers and one sister: Michel, 21 and currently studying psychology at CSU, Monterey Bay; Noah, 16, a sophomore at Garry's school, and Stephanie, aged 14 and a freshman at Colehurst as well. Only Maurice and Elise speak fluent French, their children speaking bits and pieces of the language at home but preferring to use English everywhere else.

Life was comparatively normal for Garry and nothing major happened in his life until he was in his freshman year. One particular evening a couple of months after his 15th birthday, he decided to watch An American Werewolf in London, and thoroughly enjoyed the movie. The idea of werewolves and the mythology surrounding them intrigued the boy, and over the next couple of months, he scoured the Internet for more information on lycanthropy. After several months, the intrigue turned into an obsession. He started wearing darker clothes depicting wolves/werewolves, began wearing gold contact lenses, and had even considered getting a tattoo of a wolf's head on the back of his shoulder when he got older. Garry doesn't believe that he is a werewolf, but he sometimes wishes that he really was one, or could turn into one without the whole 'mindlessly killing everyone in sight' aspect to it.

Because of his strange interest, many of the other students consider him to be weird and give him a wide berth. Garry doesn't mind this, preferring to keep to himself when out of classes anyway. Despite his love of werewolves, he isn't a violent person at all. Garry is straight, but has no love interest as of yet.

Due to Maurice and Elise being big supporters of the Canadian national ice hockey team, the sport was big in the Villette household, and Garry was no exception. Influenced by his parents, he was interested in skating and hockey long before he got into werewolves, and learnt to ice skate when he was 8. During his sophomore year, he tried out for and succeeded in getting into Colehurst's ice hockey team as right defenseman, much to his and his family's delight.

As part of his interest in lycanthropy, he was intrigued by the different phases of the moon, which in turn sparked another great interest of his; astronomy. The mechanics of the planets, their orbits, what occurs during different eclipses and the stars fascinated him, and he would often stay up late gazing at the stars in the night sky. At Colehurst, his strongest subject is biology, though he averages about a B+ in that. He also takes physics, art and English, averaging between a B to C grade in each of those.

His nickname is "Garou", deriving from the French term for a werewolf, loup-garou, and when playing on the ice hockey team, he jokes to himself that he's 'the wolf among the huskies'.

Advantages: Garry is quite a strong person, so he'd be able to carry a heavy weapon or item without it slowing him down much. His strength would also allow him to hold his own if he got involved in a fight where no weapons were involved.
Disadvantages: Due to his weird obsession, Garry has fewer friends and is seen by several others of his peers as quite the odd person, so allies would be hard to come by. He isn't one of the most intelligent people in his grade, isn't a violent person, and is also a larger and easier target to hit due to his size.
