Personality: 
Stoic and generally always angry. It seems the students never manage to get on Corbyn's good side. Through the school, he is known to be one of the toughest teachers around which seems to be emphasized by his rather cold and often disparaging attitude towards his own students. Who he mostly addresses by only using their surnames.
He basically always keeps his private life to himself and thus has a rather mysterious atmosphere hanging around him. Even his fellow teachers don't know much about him, in fact, Corbyn species he belongs are known to almost no one inside the school. 
However, despite the fact that his methods are harsh, strict and sometimes downright degrading. He does seem to have his heart in the right place when it comes to his students and the school.

History: 
When it comes to age Corbyn is old, really old. However, the human form he has taken on is only 41 years old. That is because before those forty years he never ventured out of the woods, he maintained his Wendigo form and skulked in the shadows of the trees waiting for a lost hiker to venture into his forest. Corbyn maintained this lifestyle for ages, until one day he came across a hiker that was anything but normal. It was a young woman but she had to be the most divine creature he had ever seen. With long golden hair waving down her back, porcelain white skin and jade green eyes. By any means, she was the most stunning human that had ever walked into his woods. But be that as it may, their story was far from any normal love story. Despite her beauty, despite the sudden affection that dwelled up inside Corbyn, there was one urge stronger. He craved the flesh of a living being and he hadn't fed in quite some time. His most basic instincts forced him to perform a horrible act, he didn't even stalk her nor taunted her by mimicking her voice. No, appeared from outside the darkness towering above her, and she quivered in fear he sunk his teeth into her flesh and ripped her apart. While he wept the entire ordeal.

As he went through her things, he came across a postcard and diary. And as he read it he became once more entranced, but not by her alone, but by her life and the city she lived in. Thriven by the guilt of what he took away from her, he glared at himself in a puddle of water and gazed upon his own reflection, seeing for the first time he had always been a monster. This moment turned his life around, he knew the forest couldn't house him anymore, he needed to go out into the world experience the life she had and see this city for himself.


Name of Species:
Wendigo
A mythical man devouring creature who makes his home in the more darker and grim woodlands of the world. 

Baseline Dimension:

Baseline Appearance:
The Wendigo is a large monster with a tall and muscular build, fur covering its entire body and long claws. However, while his body does appear slightly humanly shaped as it can walk on two legs his head is anything but. Far from any normal creature, his head has the appearance of male deer's skull with antlers growing on top of it. 
Even when crawling on all fours the Wendigo easily stands almost two meters tall, however, when standing up it reaches a height of almost 3 meters.

Culture/Origin of Species:
Algonquian/Native American
It is said when an evil spirit takes hold of a human it transforms them into this horrid creature, some say man's own evil like greed and gluttony transforms even the bravest of souls. However, none of these have really been proved, it seems that the Wendigo always has been there, hiding in the darkness of the woods waiting for prey to wander off the trail.

Traits: 
• When surrounded by darkness and shadows the Wendigo is nearly invisible to the naked eye. They have an affinity for darkness and shadow based talents.
• When in its wendigo form this species has enhanced senses and can mimic voices to lure people away. The area around the Wendigo will grow darker as if light is being sucked away.
• The Wendigo gains one point in the strength aspect
• The Wendigo gains two points in the resilience aspect

Flaws:
• It has a tendency to lose its humanity and become more beastlike at times.
• In a modern society and city, it can be hard to live due to the cravings to hunt prey for flesh. This hunger may never be fully sated.
• A weakness to fire and silver, magical or non-magical
• Protection circles of a holy type are stronger against a wendigo, due to the wendigo being a foul creature. Many other people feel uneasy around wendigos even when the wendigo is in human form
