lloyd rp

Name: Lloyd McClair

Age: 50 years old, looks 21.

Birthplace: Mysteria

Sex: Male

Occupation: Mechanic, handyman

Appearance: As a human Lloyd stands at 5’ 10” and his body appears leanly muscled. After leaving home, he let his hair grow out, the scruffy brown locks fall into his hazel eyes more often than not, and he’ll sometimes use a bandana to hold it all back. Lloyd’s skin is a healthy pink. He’s never really developed a tan, despite time spent in the outdoors. He tends to dress casually in jeans, rock band t-shirts and tradesman shirts. There’s also a military field jacket he picked up from... somewhere. He wears sturdy boots or else goes barefoot. For the duration of the new moon, Lloyd’s eyes glow with a red light, during this time he wears sunglasses so as not to freak out normals.

In his infernal form, Lloyd is the size of a St. Bernard. His coat of short black hair takes on a dark red sheen when it reflects the light and his eyes burn with a hellish fire.

Personality: Lloyd is a survivor, first and foremost. Only those he counts as family get a look in when the chips are down. Rough and ready, Lloyd relies on his wits and his apparent youth to get people to drop their guard. He doesn’t think of what he is or what he does as ‘evil’. He’s true to his nature, and his nature isn’t that of a human. He can love, and recognise that emotion in himself and others. Those he loves, he protects fiercely. Killing a threat is rarely a last option for Lloyd, more likely it’s the first. Dead things cause less problems.

Special abilities/talents: Lloyd has never met a machine he couldn’t fix or jury-rig.

Supernatural Affinity:
Species/Group: Half-demon, Hell hound
Power(s): Lloyd can shift between his human form and that of a hell hound. In human form, Lloyd’s reflexes and sense of smell are better than that of a normal human. In his infernal form, his strength, stamina, reflexes and senses are greatly increased. His bite can potentially break human bone.

With time and growth, Lloyd will develop the ability to ignite and manipulate fire.

Level: Not applicable
Affiliation/Rank: Not applicable
Preferred Prey: Lloyd’s been known to take out livestock or the occasional human when in his hell hound form. He doesn’t need it to survive, but his residual canine instincts and part infernal nature revel in the hunt and the kill.

History: Lloyd was found abandoned in the woods around Mysteria late in the Fall of 1959. A local man, Jarrod MacClair, was out hunting with his dogs and was led by them to a whimpering bundle laid between the roots of an oak tree. The baby was taken in by the MacClairs and raised by them, named Lloyd after Jarrod’s father.

Lloyd spent his childhood in the woods around his home when he wasn’t at school or at his father’s garage in town. Something in the woods around the town called to him, seeping into his dreams of blood, the hunt and fire. When he was fourteen years old, Lloyd shifted into a hell hound and killed one of his father’s hunting dogs. He was aware of his actions the entire time, and after blaming the corpse on a bear attack slept a peaceful sleep. His dreams that night recalled the first spurt of blood and squeal of pain.

In time, the MacClair’s had two more children, a girl and a boy. Lloyd saw them as family and saw it as his job to protect them. This involved beating a boy bloody when his little sister came home crying from school. Jarrod never stopped treating Lloyd like his own son, while his wife Melissa did her best to ignore Lloyd existed. When Lloyd was sixteen, Jarrod died. His body was found out in the woods, savagely mauled. Lloyd high-tailed it out of there the next day, running from an adopted mother that hated him and the sneaking suspicion that he’d done something to get his daddy killed.

Lloyd made his way across country, hitchhiking and picking up work where and as he could. A couple of years later in San Francisco, he met a sweet girl named Katie, a psychic. Katie knew what he was from the first and accepted him for it. Lloyd tried his best to repress his killing urges for her. They spent ten years together before a hunter found him and killed her. Lloyd came back to the flat to find his lover murdered and the hunter waiting. Lloyd cracked then, shifting into his hell hound form he killed the man. That’s the last thing he remembers until waking up in New York City in 1998. From there he dived into the city’s nightlife and gay scene, where it was easy enough to find a bed most nights.

In the last year or so, he’s started to think about Mysteria and the McClairs again. Enquiries found that the family farm house had been left to him by Jarrod all those years ago. Legally, it was still his and the place had been deserted by the family after Melissa died in 2000. Lloyd decided to head back and see what’s left of it, and the town.

Flaws: It only kills cats, remember. Lloyd has a problem with his curiosity. If something catches his nose, he’s bound to follow it, just to see what’s what. You can’t be a survivor by keeping your head in the sand.

Lloyd has amnesia. After Katie died, there’s a black space in his mind. On one hand, he’s managed to black out part of the 80’s. On the other, he came back to himself in the 1990’s in New York City with no idea of where he’d been or what he’s done. Best he can figure he was a hell-hound the entire time, and that worries him.

His infernal heritage and predatorial instincts make hunting a compulsion for Lloyd. He has to shift forms every few weeks or his behaviour becomes erratic and his reasoning gets sidelined by urges.

Merits: Lloyd’s infernal heritage has given him a keen sense of smell even in his human form. While useful for hunting, strong artificial scents can throw Lloyd off a trail and trigger an almost hayfever-like reaction.

In his time away from Mysteria, Lloyd jumped from job to job. Dish pig, office clerk, bar back, builder, he found himself quick to pick up skills in each place. While never mastering any one position, as a jack-of-all-trades Lloyd always lands on his feet.

Lloyd’s father was a mechanic, and he spent time in the garage right up ‘til he left Mysteria. With his mechanical aptitude he knows his way around machines. Engines and cars he knows inside and out, to the point that he stripped and rebuilt the pick-up he now drives.
