NAME: Chester "Ches" Fields
AGE: 37
SUITABILITY: N/A
CANON: Original
CANON POINT: Immediately after finding out Dorothea had betrayed him to Isaac's pack, summer 2021.

ABILITIES: Chester is a werewolf who is in complete control of the wolf through being in tune with it. He has accepted the fact that he's a werewolf and embraced as an important and valuable part of his life so thoroughly that his eyes changed from brown to golden and reflective, the single outward sign in his human form that he's a werewolf. He has three forms: fully human, hybrid wolf, and fully wolf. Fully human and fully wolf are quite self-explanatory; hybrid wolf is a humanoid wolfman with all-over fur, ears, tail, and a wolf-like face standing at Chester's usual height.

- Ches has mastered complete control over himself while in wolf form, and never loses his hold on his own personality while in wolf form, retaining human logic and reasoning, though he does occasionally choose to give in to the wolf. When he does so, he behaves the way a normal wolf would behave. He can also communicate with other werewolves in his pack only (either human or wolf form) through a sort of telepathy. Unfortunately this is useless since he's not going to have canonmates.

- While in wolf form and hybrid wolf form he has all the strengths and weaknesses of a regular wolf. Excellent dark-vision, speed, stamina, an amazing sense of smell and a mouth full of very sharp teeth. However, a distinct lack of opposable thumbs or the ability to speak language out loud.

- While in human form, he has some access to the strengths of the wolf, particularly in situations where he's calm and connected with the wolf -or- moments of utmost panic where he acts on instinct, with the former being a frequent scenario and the latter being almost nonexistent. The strengths he could access would be better-than-human reflexes, enhanced sense of smell, enhanced hearing, enhanced speed, and enhanced agility. The quality of these enhancements is variable, but he would fall just short of having the same levels in human form that he has in wolf form (for example, he will almost but not quite have the wolf's full sense of smell in human form, but it will be significantly better than a human's sense of smell).

- Limited healing when switching forms. When changing from a wolf to a human, he heals just a little. The healing would be essentially good enough to take him from the brink of death to stable but still severely wounded and incapable of taking care of himself.

VICES:
- UNSOPHISTICATED: Ches has spent his entire life living in one place, on his farm, and wasn't able to finish high school (though he has his GED). Due to having experienced almost none of the world outside his farm and the small community he grew up in, he's not very sophisticated when it comes to his tastes or breadth of knowledge. With only his limited experience to draw on, he sometimes can have a hard time understanding where other people are coming from or may suffer from culture clashes. While he is respectful and still listens in these situations, they can certainly trip him up.

- CONTAINED: Emotionally, Ches is incredibly contained - from a young age, he's had to hide the more vulnerable parts of himself. At home, if he showed any kind of emotional vulnerability or fear, he ran a risk of hurting the people around him. If the Alpha was afraid or vulnerable, then the members of the pack were likely to be afraid. Because of this, while he doesn't shy away from showing his personality or getting close to people, he does have a certain distance about him. It takes a long time for him to genuinely let people in, and he's very measured about how and when he reveals his vulnerabilities. This distance means that he doesn't have many truly close friends, and has a hard time making them.

- MANIPULATIVE: Ches has a decent understanding of what makes the people around him tick, at least once he's gotten to know them, and has no real issue telling people what they want to hear in order to get what he needs from them. This is a trait that's been somewhat flanderized in him through the job of being the Alpha to his pack - he knows his people, he knows what drives them, what motivates them, what chases their fears away, and he's always ready with the right words to say to motivate them to behave in a way that's useful and helpful for the pack. Along with his contained nature, this tendency to break people down into what their motivations and needs are is something that can put a distance between Chester and other people, and can contribute to his difficulty with making real, deep friendships with those around him, no matter how much he likes them.


VIRTUES:
+ PROTECTIVE: Ches was born with a natural protective instinct that has both shaped him into who he is and served him well in his life. It is because of this protective nature that he took over the raising of his brother and shielded him from their parents, and it is this protective instinct that allowed him to become the Alpha of his own pack. Ches is strong, and aware of his own strength, and feels a responsibility to protect and shield those who aren't as strong as he is. Whether it's through throwing himself in front of someone else to protect them from physical danger, taking abuse onto himself to shield someone else, or providing guidance to others in order to ensure they don't hurt someone without meaning to by not knowing how to control their wolf. At home, Ches has mostly applied this protective instinct to the members of his pack, but out of that context the protective instinct remains and he will apply it to anyone who he feels might need protection.

+ STEADFAST: From the time he was very young, Ches had a lot to deal with and a lot to take care of - himself, at first, and then the care of his brother and after that of the whole pack. No matter what he has to deal with, Ches carries on and maintains his sense of self and his place in the world. Firm and unwavering, he knows who he is and what he wants out of life and for his family and pack, and doesn't allow anything to shake his devotion to those things. Very aware of his responsibilities and his duty to his pack and to himself, he follows through without question, and always does what he promises to do. Ches believes in gaining respect through being reliable, consistent, and the positive actions that he does for the best of the people around him.

+ CONFIDENT: With his strong sense of self and knowledge of who he is and what his strengths and weaknesses are, Ches has developed a very strong confidence in himself. While he is very confident, it's not the type of confidence that results in a lot of bragging or talking himself up, though he will factually state his strengths in certain areas. Also, while most Alphas in his world tend to be domineering, often dominating their pack through brute force, whereas Chester believes that he has his pack's respect, and rarely feels the need to bark orders or even issue orders at all. This confidence bleeds through to his non-pack interactions as well - he tends to treat people with respect and expect it in return, rarely insulting others but shaking off any insults in return.

SURVEY


▶ I REGULARLY MAKE NEW FRIENDS.
4
My pack is my family, but I don't regularly make actual friends, because I don't feel comfortable being too open with people about my insecurities or fears, because it would cause my pack to destabilize, and that would be dangerous. Not just for me, but for them, and that's what matters.

▶ SEEING OTHER PEOPLE CRY MAKES ME WANT TO CRY TOO.
2
It always kills me a little to see people cry, especially with my pack, all of whom are pretty resilient. If they're crying, then something's seriously wrong and it's probably affecting me too. Besides, I care about all of them, and seeing them cry hurts. It might be a little less for someone I don't know or care about deeply, but it's always hard to see someone cry, and makes me tear up a little myself. I can be a really emotional person, regardless of how well I hide it.

▶ I OFTEN MAKE A BACKUP PLAN FOR A BACKUP PLAN.
1
You've always gotta have plans when you're running a pack, have to have contingency plans in case the first plans don't work out. It's for the best, when you've got people to protect and are in dangerous situations. I like to be prepared.

▶ I USUALLY STAY CALM, EVEN WHEN UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE.
1
I'm the anchor of my pack, they look to me for reassurance and comfort when things are difficult, and even before that, Dusty looked to me for those things. I've had to push down my own fears and insecurities and hide them away so they don't affect the people around me. I have to be the rock people can rely on.

▶ I AM VERY SENTIMENTAL.
3
This one is a half and half sort of situation. I don't tie a lot of emotion to things, so I don't have a lot of items with sentimental value, but I'm very attached to the people who really know me, and I'm always looking out for them. I get a lot of warm fuzzies when people pay me compliments or encourage me.

▶ EVEN A SMALL MISTAKE CAN CAUSE ME TO DOUBT MY OVERALL ABILITIES AND KNOWLEDGE.
5
In order to be a true leader, I can't doubt myself or show any weakness. I have to lead true to what's best for the people following me. Besides that, I've spent my whole life looking out for myself and for the people I care about, I know what I'm capable of and what I'm not capable of, and am comfortable with myself.

▶ I AM MORE INCLINED TO FOLLOW MY HEAD THAN MY HEART.
3
This really depends on the situation. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the good of the people around you, and sometimes you just have to do the right thing regardless of cost. It takes a strong mind and a strong heart to know the difference, and I'm pretty confident that I have those.

▶ I AM PRONE TO WORRYING THAT THINGS WILL TAKE A TURN FOR THE WORSE.
1
This falls in line with all those contingency plans I mentioned earlier. I'm always looking out for danger, for threats against myself and my pack, and can be very wary. It's a little easier not to worry when I'm on my own, but as soon as I have people who I care about with me, the worry goes through the roof.

▶ I ENJOY WATCHING PEOPLE ARGUE.
3
Usually, arguing is a sign of contention and disagreement in the pack, so it can be quite dangerous, and I'm wary when people are arguing because of that. On the other hand, it's awesome to watch someone with a really good arguing style really go for it on a topic they're passionate about.

▶ I TEND TO AVOID DRAWING ATTENTION TO MYSELF.
4
As the pack leader, the attention is almost always on me. People pay attention to what I have to say and watch what emotions I'm expressing about a situation before deciding how they feel about it. I'm used to that and pretty comfortable with being the center of attention. At the same time, it'd be nice to take a break from being constantly observed.

▶ I OFTEN DO THINGS AT THE LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT.
5
I can be pretty organized when I want to be, and it's best not to let things languish until I forget about them. Best case scenario, something goes wrong because I let it go and suddenly the house has a leak or the taxes aren't paid or something else. Worst case scenario, people die.

▶ I FIND IT EASY TO EMPATHIZE WITH A PERSON WHOSE EXPERIENCES ARE VERY DIFFERENT FROM MINE.
4
It depends on the situation - if someone's got different issues than I have, it's pretty easy to get into their headspace and see why they're upset. But if someone comes from a place I've never experienced or a culture I know nothing about, then, well, I don't know anything about it, and it can be hard to empathize or understand. This is something I'm working on.

▶ I BECOME BORED OR LOSE INTEREST WHEN THE DISCUSSION GETS HIGHLY THEORETICAL.
3
Again, depends on the situation. I'm used to dealing in situations and with things that aren't theoretical, that have concrete yes or no answers or very real repercussions, so I can drift away mentally when people are discussing, say, the theoretical application of magic. But I do like to explore the morality of my decisions and those of my pack.

▶ I RARELY FEEL INSECURE.
1
While I do have my insecurities, I don't dwell on them or let them take over. I know what I'm capable of. I know what I'm not capable of. And I'm comfortable with both of those things. I've made peace with most of my personality and flaws by now.

▶ I AM STILL BOTHERED BY MISTAKES I MADE A LONG TIME AGO.
2
I've done a lot of things that I regret, made mistakes that cost me and my pack and my family. I regret those decisions to this day, and often dwell in private on what I could've done better, trying to learn from those mistakes. I don't know if I'll ever forgive myself fully for the mistakes I've made, but I have tried my best to make peace with them. It's something I'm working on.
