Personality:

Riley was a somewhat reclusive child that spent his adolescence as a mind-controlled werewolf. He covers his confusion and insecurity at being on his own with a smart mouth and brash confidence, particularly in the realm of physical pursuits. In a lot of ways he feels as though the world has been turned on its head and he’s just trying to cope and cobble together a working human personality. As a result, he tends to behave in a not-normal fashion and his social graces leave something to be desired. Now free to do as he pleases, he is rather selfish, disobedient, and ornery if approached incorrectly. Direct orders are the most likely to be met with defiance and sass. He delights in doing nothing and being able to make decisions for himself even if he doesn’t fully grasp what’s going on.

Deadly Flaw:

Envy and jealousy: he wants what you have and he will have it. This can range from something like that particular rib on your plate to the monster you’re fighting. When stymied, tends to sulk and hold grudges.

Background:

Riley has always been a weird guy. He grew up in a small town with neighbors who thought his dad was bizarre, even for an artist, and their distance taught their children to avoid Riley. When his dad was killed, he felt in a lot of ways that his one tie to the human world was severed and he snatched at the chance to begin anew with Lycaon’s pack.

This turned out to be a poor choice as Lycaon was a mind-controlling psychopath. He maintained a large pack though he regarded them more as minions than companions. Some turned into his loyal lapdogs but Riley felt disillusioned and hung back, at last making a break for it when Lycaon gave him orders that could be misinterpreted as a command to get out and stay out.

Once far enough away that he felt he could relax, Riley stayed away from human society out in the wilderness for a few months as he reaccustomed himself with walking on two legs and speaking. When he started washing up in streams and keeping clean, his mom finally claimed him. Equipped with clothes and a haircut, he headed into town where he used his charming smile and fast-running skills to add to his wardrobe. He was starting to consider more active methods of acquiring money when he came across a satyr by accident. Recognizing only that it was the smell of another non-human, Riley went on the offensive and almost killed the satyr. Fortunately for the keeper, he managed to placate the enraged lycanthrope and convinced him that there was an easier way to live than a crime spree. Riley decided to give camp a try though he was deeply mistrustful of the promise of ‘family.’

Lycanthrope traits: As wolves, they are great dane-sized and have excellent senses, even for wolves and can communicate with other lycanthropes. They cannot be harmed by any weapons but silver. They can change from one form to another painlessly at will and, since the change is magic, no human nudity is involved. As demigods, they age less quickly and they have slightly boosted senses and physical abilities. They are as susceptible as normal demigods to weaponry but with an extreme sensitivity to silver.

Other Info:
Riley’s something of a packrat, though more like a pack-squirrel: he hoards things obsessively but promptly forgets where he’s stashed it and never looks back.
He very much likes being clean but also enjoys the process of getting dirty as his first instinct is to do wolf-ish things like roll on dead animals.
Riley’s current passion is physical fitness (the one thing from his old life he feels is applicable in this new one) though once he catches on about fashion....
Being on two legs still throws him off from time to time and he is mistrustful of buildings.
Riley has heterochromia, with an orange ring around his pupils where the rest of his eye is blue.
