[NINJA'd: Already made the turn before I saw the posts :p . A higher tiered wolf's den gives you even more protection and cover from people searching for you. Think of it as a personal firewall of sorts. Also gives goodies such as a console to access info and storage. Hi Prophet.]
Your name was 317, a low caste commoner who toiled his life working in the data mines or fighting corrupted data beasts. Everything changed when a corrupted wolf of immense size attacked you. You were left for dead by the other hunters, but you found yourself awakening in a cave. You couldn't recognize the area's signal at all, as if it didn't really exist, but it wasn't empty. You lay on a table naked, with recent scar tissue having formed on your torso. You scanned yourself and found that your code was replaced with mithril, the same stuff that the gods use for their buildings and technology.
You retreated from the cave in a frenzy. When you exited, you saw the full moon high in the night sky and you changed. It was all a blur of red mixed with frenzied screaming. You woke up back in your village, alone with the corpses of all the villagers and the knights sent to stop you. A quick scan showed that the town was empty. Then you realized you had access to codes that you couldn't possibly have, such as scanning whole areas and identifying signals. Normal peasants couldn't do that.
That was a week ago (6 days and 23 hours to be exact) and somehow in your confusion you ended up here, in an internet cafe in one of the more advanced villages. The news of your destruction of village X-101 has spread across half of Midgard, with speculated reports of giants from the corrupted files of Jotunheim being the culprits. The Knight Commander Tyr is recruiting knights from commoners to bolster his forces here on Midgard.
There are a bunch of people in the internet cafe, browsing the news worriedly and asking each other for what to do. The owner of the cafe, an elf, is also on a computer. You instinctively know their codes for some reason, probably the same reason why you have access to other codes as well. The town outside is fairly large, full of houses and a few shops. There is a camp outside recruiting knights. There is also a data mine hiring as well, to increase production of swords and armor.
Name: Damon L. Breckenridge, "The August Ghost"
Background: Before, when the Gods still walked the earth and he was firmly under their heel, he was known only by a simple number: No. 317. He was allowed no pride, no wherewithal to stand for his beliefs or defend that which he cared for, as it could all be taken away in the blink of an eye. But now, with the rise of the Great Wolf once again, he shall be 317 no longer. In public he takes the name Damon, but he is and will always be The August Ghost, the venerable pillar of mankind's unwavering spirit, and he shall languish beneath the yoke of the Gods no more.
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Appearance: Caucasian, 6 feet 5 inches tall. Completely bald except for a thin beard and mustache. Has a brand on the back of his neck that spells out the number '317', but this number bears a /-shaped slash scar across it, to signify his freedom. Prefers to wear earth-toned clothes, particularly a dark green button-down T-shirt and brown pants with black leather belt. Tends to wear a white scarf around his neck to cover up the number and the accompany scar. His wolf form has unbroken white fur, and is somewhat larger than other wolves.
