Luca Black is a supporting character in a story
I have rattling in my head.

Here is a brief description of him:

Luca is an ebony skinned male. 5'11. Athletic build. emerald eyes.
He dresses well. no synthetic fibers when possible.
He is a werecat, more specifically panther.
He moves with a cat like grace. He is an aggressive fighter.
He will growl when angered. He stalks his enemy rather like
the great cats stalk their prey.


Here is a basic origin story:

Luca Black was a rogue known as Luca the Black he was almost as well known as Robin Hood
(yes he lived in that period of time).
Sadly he was written out of the history books (most likely because of his skin tone).
Luca had a partner in crime named Zariah (she was also his lover).
Luca noticed as time passed that Zariah was increasingly becoming more obsessed with killing
(she was an assassin for hire) and power.
They would often argue about it.

One fateful night while they were traveling through a forest
(no not Sherwood).
They were attacked by a large cat (panther) of the likes they had never seen.
It made a rush at Zariah knocking her to the ground where she cracked open her head upon a large jagged stone.
Luca seeing his love in peril threw himself upon the great cat. During his struggles with the cat he received many cuts and lacerations as well as puncture wounds from the cats great teeth.
It was all a blur to Luca, he never knew where the strength came from or how he manage to kill the beast.
As he lay bleeding he saw a man step out from the shadows. The man walked towards Zariah where she lay dying of blood loss. Luca struggle to stand and found he was unable.
After leaning over the bleeding woman, the shadow-man walked over to Luca rolled him onto his back with a nearby branch. Luca tried to get a clear look at the man's face,
but the shadows of the overhead trees hid most of the man's features.
The one thing burned into the back of his brain was the eyes, eyes that pierced his soul.
The man clicked his teeth, whispered "I have no use for you."
Luca felt the rush of pain as the man's boot connected with his skull.
Luca saw the man return to his fallen love as he slipped into unconsciousness.
While unconscious, Luca dreamed of the attack over and over again,
at the end of every dream instead of him killing the cat, the cat kills him.
Many days later he wakes up and finds himself being attended to by some nuns. He learned that he was found alone in the forest unconscious. Luca noticed that many of his wounds had vanished.
As days go by and nights, he learns that he has been cursed. The cat had been a werepanther. He tried for many years to find the man and to find out what had happened to his love, Zariah. All paths led to dead ends.

Many decades later into modern times, he meets and befriends Jenna Phoenix and aids her in many adventures. But that is not the story to be told here.

No, this will be one of his adventures in the few years prior to meeting Jenna.


*You can be good or evil,
you can be human or non-human,
but keep in mind that it is based on a character from my story
so if you choose non-human your power can be equal to or less than the main character of this RP, but not greater.
I will post NPC names in another color at times, those will be NPC's that are expendable or you can befriend them make romantic advances on what not.(you can not kill Luca cause he is a vital character in my main story. Nor can you romance him.)
Also I may use parts of this in my actual story as background or what not. If I do I will pm the individual to get permission.

Anyone can join in.

Luca watched the house from the shadows.
It seemed deserted, but Luca knew better.
He could smell the man. The man needed to bathe more,
Luca thought to himself.

Achiron watched from one of the taverns stools as yet another guy tries to get the bartender to go home with him. Achiron took another sip of his long island and smiled lightly as the liquor slowly rolled down his esophagus and into his stomach. His wolf like ears hidden in his shaggy blond hair, but even hidden in such a place he could hear something afoot outside, so he paid his tab and headed for the door uncertain as to what was really going on outside but determined to see if he could help.

Achiron is about 6'4" and is very athletic on count of his... condition. he doesn't let many close and has a very hot temper, but for the most part has it under control. he is gentle and kind hearted. more to be discovered

Luca stretched and glanced around. The door to the house opened, out came a rotund man with a neck brace. Luca tensed up. A group of teenagers ran past laughing at each other, the man jerked his head in their direction. Luca smiled to himself, gotcha. He took a few pictures of the man in action. Well he had what the insurance company wanted, Luca slipped away as soon as the man went back into the house.
Luca sighed as he walked past a tavern, he needed something more challenging than these insurance gigs.

Achiron noticed a man walking past him, he tucks his ear in a lil lower as the man past by and sniffed the air, his eyes sparkled a moment then returned to normal. He shook his head and walked across the street and shoved his hands in his pockets as he eyed the glow of the street light on the pavement. He grumbled softly about a few bills and headed towards his house about 3 blocks away from where the tavern was.

Luca smelled the familiar scent of one who is cursed, as he passed the tavern. Not feline. It didn't pose a threat to him at the moment, so he kept on his own path.

*****


It was late when Luca got home. He picked up the pile of bills just inside his door. Luca sat down at his desk and began sorting them.
He got another letter from the Phoenix Foundation. As with every letter from them he automatically shredded it along with the other junk mail. Maybe one day he would read it.
Luca looked around his shabby one room apartment. Luca felt the walls closing in on him. He needed to run. Luca walked over to his dresser pulled open the top drawer pulled out a dark tank and shorts. He noticed he needed to get some more tanks.
He changed into his running clothes and headed out the door.

Achiron jumped up the steps 4 at a time and reached the top floor, where his apartment was located. He checked his pockets pulled out a piece of paper with numbers on it, a receipt, a few quarters, a couple pennies, and final napkin. "Drat!" he said in a slightly aggravated tone. He reached in his other pocket producing a paper clip, a battery, a few teeth, and finally his key. He wiped his head in relief, and pushed the key into the keyhole on the knob, turned it slightly then withdrew it, putting the key in the deadbolt now and turning that till the door opened fully and he stepped into the darkness and temporary sanctuary of his small no bedroom apartment. He closed the door and locked everything, then took a few steps and peeled off his shirt, and slowly took off his bandages from around his abs and chest, 30lb weights clunking to the floor and revealing a well cut and toned chest and abs. he took a minute and fell backwards on the couch staring up at the lil bit of light pouring in the room through the window.

Luca ran a good distance before he was able to find a well secluded and dark enough place to shift. Luca stretched, removed his clothing, and started the change. After many long years of shifting forms, he had become numb to the agony of the change.
Although every time it seemed to take hours in reality it was mere minutes.


******


The great cat stretched and yawned, his black coat enabled him to blend into the shadows of the night. Occasionally he would pass through open spaces lit by streetlamps, the light bringing out a deep purple sheen to his smooth ebony fur.

He clapped his hands once, still slumped on the couch a soft rock ballad played in the background as he released a long slow breath his mind slowly relaxing as well, his eyes began to get heavy with the slow and relaxing throbs of the music. One thing came to mind as the music played, and that was his long lost love from centuries ago. Ever since the night he had gotten his curse things haven't been what they thought he would be. He gritted his teeth as his eyes fully closed and the images of her burning in a fire set to his house while he was out in the woods gathering the few necessities needed for life. Her screams echoed in his mind as he relived the event of coming home to the blaze and the other men laughing. He could see it in his mind how the other men were laughing and accusing her of loving a monster and freak, calling her a b***h and other such profane names. While he was lost in the memories, his body arched and rolled, his fur and claws beginning to grow in and bones shifting to accommodate his new form. He growled and snarled the memories dieing away and when his amber eyes opened he leaped out of an opened window and crawled up the side of a building and screamed in agony, pain, misery and anger towards the sky.
