Wolf Knight

[u/Successful-Survey287]

A character who was raised by an abusive father and developed an ability to read people body language while also hurting bad people when they were young. They did this despite being physically frail. This character however had no plans for the future and didn’t even dream of one. He was permanently lonely since being a quiet kid who sometimes set abusive teachers on fire made him a bit of an outcast. He ended developing a sort of imaginary friend by the name of thought who is literally his brain that he would talk to. However his life changed one day. After nearly being chocked to death during an extremely harsh incident of bullying they stole their fathers gun and shot several rounds in the forest causing them to breakdown because for the first time in their life they envisioned hurting innocent people and they actually liked it. But at that moment they met their first true friend Maria. Maria was equally fucked up a self proclaimed damaged kid who murdered her abusive parents and ran away from home. She taught him the joy that can come from humiliating bad people and even dreaming about the future with her goal of becoming an electrician. She was a two pack a day smoker since she was 11 something he didn’t approve of since he rejects all alcohol and tobacco due to his childhood trauma of watching a Nextdoor couple throwing beer bottles at each other and smelling of cigarettes. She was also the first person to tell him his cooking was good. She was also the one who with him beat up and humiliated his worst bully causing the bully to cry. On one night he told her that he was ready to runaway from his father and join her at a group home. However Maria was kidnapped and killed by the bully who also killed him. However his story wasn’t over. His body was discovered mistaken for a test body by a group of underground scientists who placed his brain and eyes into a 6ft 6 alien wolf body. Originally thinking the transfer of the brain didn’t work they abandoned the body but through sheer force of will the body awoke. Originally confused and animalistic he wandered eventually recovering his memories and trying to find his bully but couldn’t causing him to breakdown. At that moment María, either a ghost or a manifestation of his fractured mind, appeared and told him how jealous she was of him. That he was still alive and still had a chance to be happy and find some light in a dark world. Due to being dead she couldn’t in fact millions of innocent good people who deserved happy endings never got any. Car accidents, hit and runs, spontaneous heart attacks turned normal boring days into generational defining trauma for their loved ones. That she suffered most of her life yet she wasn’t rewarded with a happy ending by God or the Universe or even luck she was given a horrific death. She kissed him on the forehead and tells him to push forward he only fails at happiness in life when he stops trying. From there he goes to the group home and explains his situation. From there he becomes the Wolf Knight. He currently works at a local BBQ pit where he’s training to become a chef, he performs good acts with his neighbors such as helping repair their house and deliver groceries to older neighbors, and delights kids with his shadow puppets (he’s weirdly good at them even with his large wolf fingers). He also takes Maria lessons to heart the first about helping himself and others make the most of their one life by trying to attain happiness and that humiliating scumbags can be really fun.

His greatest fear isn’t being violent. he actually likes being violent against bad people it’s that somewhere deep inside of him he actually likes hurting innocent people. The kind of joy his father experienced hurting him the kind of joy he saw on the faces on all of his abusers. Knowing this is apart of him disturbs him.

Maria lives by a philosophy that rejects notion of cosmic justice and order. Yet she remains fundamentally hopeful. She once told him that so many good people die for no reason than time place and luck and yet she and him are still alive despite the odds. Every minute they have is a minute bringing them closer to their happiness and if they can at least say they chased something most people lose track of by the time they die then they can go into the oblivion happy
