Physical Description/Pic: Jouri is a handsome youth that stands at approximately 5’9½” and weighs in at around 150 lbs. give or take. Enough weight that he’s layered in useful muscle but is in no way overly bulky, lean, if anything else, a sprinter’s build. His hair hangs wildly about his face and along his neck, always worn loose and hangs in different lengths everywhere. Light platinum blonde in color, the tips are stark black and it gives his hair and almost peppery look. His eyes are powerful and sweet and the same time, a bright yellow amber like that of a wild cat’s, deep and penetrating and usually very much alluring. His hair and eyes suit very well his Caucasian skin tone, light but with a very faint suntan. Not deep like beach goers, but enough of a tan to show he spends at least part of his days in the sunlight.

Jouri usually chooses to dress casually in blue jeans, African style sandals and loose shirts, sometimes sleeveless, other times just T-shirts. He seems to never be cold even in the dead of night and seems to be very much hot-blooded (and not just in the sexual sense of the term).

He wears a small assortment of jewelry, a hemp woven cord about his neck decorated with clay and wood beads, a similar bracelet about his left wrist and a wooden armlet about his right bicep carved of ebony wood. No piercings, but Jouri does have a tattoo of an African style Jaguar in the center of his back in black ink. It looks as though it is leaping through the flesh of his back in a wreath of flame.

In jaguar form Jouri looks to be your typical African jaguar, powerful with broad shoulders and layered in sinew. He stands at just about 3’4” at the shoulders and weighs over 300 lbs. His fur is bright yellow-orange with black spots and his eyes remain that powerful yellow amber.

In Were form Jouri becomes slightly more menacing, he stands now at just short of 8 feet tall and weighs in at over 400 lbs. He is lithe, agile and lean more than muscular with strings of heavy sinew strung between powerful limbs and powerful crème colored claws he can dig even into stone and steel. He uses this to his advantage and does his name proud as a climber, he’s more maneuverable than a spider it seems sometimes, on any surface. His legs are in the digitigrades style, his paws are large and broad and his forepaws take the shape of Human hands (with soft pink paw pads). Usually he’ll wear shreds of his previous clothing when in this form, torn blue jeans and a shredded shirt, the sandals all but completely decimated and usually missing from him entirely though his jewelry remains intact.

Personality: Jouri is a very fun loving individual, hardly ever aggressive and playful more than anything else. He loves to chat and yet loves to be silent, he enjoys being alone and yet longs to be with others. He’s a very deep person though people tend to overlook it, his thoughts are complicated but his actions simple. He’s very open-minded, outgoing, trustworthy and trusting. He’s open with facts about himself (including his homosexuality) and yet does not expect others to be the same. He knows it’s hard to admit things sometimes, and even harder to find people to accept you. He is very understanding and never pushes a subject or looks for an argument. If someone is more comfortable remaining detached, then by all means, Jouri is no spiritual hero and has no faith to preach anyway. If you’re better off left alone, he’ll leave you alone, but sometimes his optimism will get the better of him and he’ll just keep at ya’ ‘til he’s convinced you’ve cheered up enough.

Background/History: Jouri was born to two Were parents in New York city and did much of his schooling and growing up there. He acted like any normal kid, oblivious to his heritage until he hit puberty at age 12. He shifted for the first time in the dead of night and ran the streets in jaguar form, dazed, confused and frightened. His father departed to capture the youth and bring him home after which both his parents explained to him what he was and what it meant.

It was a gift more than a cruse Jouri came to realize, he was stronger than normal Humans, faster, more agile, able to do things no Human could ever do. He fit well in Human society and went through his remaining school years without revealing to people what he was. His parents told him their existence was one of secrecy and trust, that to show what you are to a Human could be dangerous and it was better off left alone.

As a Were, Jouri was told his responsibility in his existence was to protect all things natural. The wilds, the animals and everything in-between. So when Jouri graduated high school he went to community college to attend courses in animal husbandry, veterinary science, botany and geology. He never stuck with anything long enough to earn a degree, he wasn’t really interested in becoming so involved he lost perspective. He wanted to help animals and plants and all things natural, not become caught up in the rat race of life and want nothing but the money involved.

After graduating with a degree in animal husbandry (hey, he had to complete something eventually...) he went on to get odd jobs at pet stores, zoos and sanctuaries. He’s traveled across the U.S. a good couple times and has even helped to re-introduce wildlife at many of the preserves. He’s worked with wolves, falcons, eagles, wild horses and even dolphins on the coasts. He’s accomplished quite a bit in his short life and has made a good deal many friends in the industry; protestors, activists, pet store owners and vet technicians who work abroad. He’s been offered more than once the chance to fly to Africa to work with gorillas as well as other species like lions and hyenas, but he’s declined them all. He believes work and help is still needed on the home shore more than anything and so sticks around in the hopes he might help make a difference, no matter how small.

Likes: Animals, friendly people, cities that coexist well with wilderness
Dislikes: Poachers, animal abusers, places that have decimated the natural world nearby it entirely

Turn Ons: Shy flirting, having his ears nibbled, people who are touchy-feely
Turn Offs: Overly rough sex, forced sex (rape), drunk people

Quirks:

-- Jouri is a very touch-feely kind of guy and likes to get unusually close to people, it makes him feel safe and secure, it’s almost a foreign habit as most American usually hate to be too close to another person they don’t know. It must be the jaguar in him that makes him want to reach out and nuzzle others.
-- Jouri, for some reason, absolutely loves the smell and taste of chamomile.
-- Hates the smell of cigarette smoke and will likely leave the room abruptly if he detects it.
-- Doesn’t drink alcohol.
-- Is very open about himself and will share the most intimate of things on a whim.
-- Has only ever opened up to one person about being a Werejaguar, it is one of the few secrets he’s actually kept under lock and key.
