His fur short, making possible seeing his muscles when he flex them. Have scars on his body, most of them in his back. His cloths varies from place to place, but he usually don't like clothes that are too tight and don't give him space, but he is always hearing his light armor (Leather armor, protecting Legs, Body and Arms), being the only heavy piece his Vambrace armor, that he uses to protect himself and deflect attacks.
Natural Abilities: Quick, Strong, Resistant. Kowagaru is a Jack of all trades when it comes to his abilites He is not a specialist in everything, but is pretty much better than a normal person.

Weaknesses: Not having any area of specialization makes some things just harder. He can be above average, but pretty much everyone who have a specialization can beat him with ease. That makes him not perfect to everything, but passable at least. He can only fight at long range if the conditions let him attack with magic (If he have elements around him that he can use) or if he thrown his weapon using Telekinesis (That is not a perfect solution, because that makes him being temporally unarmed.).

Visual Display: None.
Special Abilities: Enchanced Speed (1), Telekinesis
Bonus Special Abilities: Foresight, Enhanced Toughness (2)
Unique Abilities:
Strengths: Even if his Foresight acts weird, the range is somewhat large (12 meters), the foresight only reacts to some danger Kowagaru is not aware and he is trained to deal with it.
Since his magic have no visual display, is hard predict when Kowagaru is using magic or not.
Kowagaru have the control of the elements that already exist in the environment. He can manipulate various of them without much problem (in fact, his main strategy is turn those elements around him in his favor during battle. A cold wind in a hot day? Focus the temperature in one place and let the wind do a thermal shock in his victim. Fissures around the dry earth? Would it be odd if a mini-earthquake started in this area? Loosen rocks? Be careful, they can fall. He can manipulate and control them at will, and the area where he want, so they could do what he want...
Weaknesses: … but he cannot create anything from nowhere. That is very complicated because he can only work with what he have in range. Unfortunate too, this kind of magic have a limited range and takes time do work.(Long enough that in combat situation, if he don't have anything ready, he is already in a major disadvantage). Also when dealing with the manipulation of multiple elements or elements against his favor (Like Trying to cause a earthquake in fine, strong earth), Kowagaru can get tired really fast.
His Foresight functions in a weird way: He can sense if something dangerous will happen in a immediate future, but he only knows the direction that danger is, not what it is (This can be complicated. If the danger is something to big to dodge he will have to do some other thing). Foresight sometimes don't work (If Kowagaru is in danger, his foresight sometimes won't react), also the use can cause nausea, headache and blurry vision if used too much (In other words, if he experience many dangerous sittuations).

History
Life was never easy for Gavrel. Living in Ruthenia, being sons of two beastfolk sure doomed him in having a hard childhood in general. His parents are always very caring with him, but he learned very soon that his presence there did more harm than good, after all, they had another mouth to feed, with so little money to spent. Realizing that they would be able to feed themselves and his child the did the best they could do to themselves and for Gavrel: They sold him to a human on Ruthenia.
Living without his parents was tough, and did little good to the young boy, who grew up healthy, but with a abusive master, making his personality cold and submissive to things around him. The only one he got at his side it was a younger slave called named Daniel, who was a more lively cat, and less targeted to be abused. They two got along as close as they got, until they started to call each other “Brothers”
But one day, one thing changed in his master life and his life itself: Mikhail, the human son of his master and his wife was born.
His masters are quite happy with his newborn son, but they are very busy people, making little effort to help in Mikhail growth, leaving Gavrel and Daniel as his babysitter.
Mikhail quickly grow fond the duo, calling them “Big Brother” eventually. One day Mikhail even tried to stop Gavrel from being beaten.
Mikhail parents, after seeing such scene, sold his slave to another family, making Mikhail depressed, refusing eating for days, until he collapsed. Mikhail family only choice was turning back in his action and taking Gavrel home again (paying almost twice the price they sold the wolf).
Life from this point went better than expected. Gavrel was still a slave, but he wasn’t beat anymore, had much more liberty to do what he pleased, and was beginning to be less passive to the changes around him and thing that happened, turning him into a very courageous and focused adolescent.
Being supported by his master (Over the insistence of Mikhail) Gavrel started to study in the administrative area, while Daniel was sent to the government to train (He was a natural mage but only then he got a “job” using his abilties) Being a beastfolk turned everything into something really hard, but at the same time, in the university he found someone that but some bright into his life: Ruby, human woman that he fell in love.
The relationship was complicated because they had to make the relationship a secret almost all the time, but that made his “family” proud, after all, even if a beastfolk he was still with a human. It was almost at this time that Gavrel, with Ruby and Mikhail help, was freed from being a slave, turning into a free Beastfolk (Not that it turned anything easier).
Mikhail started to walk with some bad influences for him, and even when Gavrel questioned about him, he still wanted to make a “Revolution” to guarantee the rights of everyone on Ruthenia. Later, Gavrel discovered that he entered into a revolutionary group that fight against the Ruthenian Governement.
Gavrel had a very hard time finding a job post-university. He was a beastfolk after all, having to do a lot of minor jobs before being able to find a really great job (With Ruby help of course). After that they started to live together. As always, it was more complicated to Gavrel than Ruby, specially in work.
He worked very hard to get big to get in a high position in this enterprise, and beside the different treatment he got in all situation, where he was always put down by humans, he got a big promotion, working in near the top of the promotions.
Beside the money, it wasn’t a good job. They only gave to him because it was a really stressfull job. He started to change, started to get more aggressive towards everyone around him, eventually even with Ruby.
A certain day, in a square in Ruthenia, happened a gunfire near between the police and a terrorist group, some civilians died that day in the middle of the fire, one of them was Gavrel wife, Ruby. As soon as he knew about that, Gavrel felt guilty and broken, wishing he could be a better person and a better husband. He went into an alcoholic depression and eventually lost his job. Some days later he discovered the same group that entered in the gunfire was the same who Mikhail was taking part.
Questioning his brother of why he have done that, he showed no guilt or mercy for his wife, saying it was a necessary good for the good of the nation. That moment, drive by rage, Gavrel tried to kill his own brother, but failed, and ended up thrown up in the middle of the street.
Trying to take vengeance upon his brother, Gavrel denounced him to the government, accusing him of being a Were. As expected, Gavrel was mocked, humiliated and imprisoned, only by the fact that he was Beastfolk and his brother was a human.
He promised himself of having vengeance against his brother, but he realized we would never be able to do that. Not in Ruthenia. His hatred against this place grew even more. He could not stand this place anymore. He preferred to be dead than continuing to live in this horrible place.
It was almost two weeks he was trapped in the precinct jail. He knew the time to the real prison, was getting near. After all, if he had some judgment, he would for sure be guilty, even if he found the best lawyers. But suddenly, the lights of the precinct went out, and everything was shrouded in darkness. He heard gunfire, screams, and movement, but he could not see anything. He was near the bars, trying to see something, when he lost consciousness. The quick glances of consciousness after that was some talk between some people, trying to liberate some people from the Jail, and other things. His mind was quite fuzzy, so he quickly lost consciousness again.
Suddenly, Gavrel awakened. He was in the middle of a forest, nowhere he could ever think he really was and only with a backpack in his side. He stoop up and began to walk through there, only to get to a hill and finally see where he was: On the horizon, he could see the country of Ruthenia and its wide and oppressive barrier. For the first time, he was outside Ruthenia. Away from his home. He looked for some minutes there, knowing that he probably would never enter there again in his life.
He turned back and went into the forest, some hours later, finding a road, where he eventually was able to find a merchant. He then, went to the Upper Kingdoms, that was where the merchant was going.
He spent the entire year in the Upper Kingdoms. It was a hard life and he had to learn to live there on his own using his skills (That are insignificant in comparison to the level o specialization people handled there) to survive. It was there that he have meet Alcimus, a foreigner like him. He spent some time in the land, and they quickly grew fond to each other.
Eventually, with the proximity Gavrel shared his desire of vengeance against his brother. Alcimus didn't approve of his idea, trying to make him go away from that path. Gavrel refused going away, saying that that was his only purpose of his life right now.
Determined to help Gavrel find a new reason to live beside the vengeance, Alcimus started training him in martial arts, magic and survivor, and gave to him the opportunity to help people around the world. Alcimus, speaking as a Dragon Knight, could only give “freelance jobs” to Gavrel to handle, nothing official (Because it was not of Gavrel interest turning into a Dragon Knight.). They traveled all across the world together, until they settled on the outskirts of Alexandria.
Almost 7 years have passed. Gavrel turned into a very strong man, changing into an absolute rebirth of his mind and body. His name was not forgotten, but he chose to present himself as "Kowagaru," a name he picked up in their travels. His relationship with Alcimus became more distant because of the two of them being always so busy, but they still liked each other as friends and as master and mentor. Kowagaru was working to him, traveling around the world, helping his with a variety of jobs. Most of them are complicated, but Kowagaru really did liked the idea of helping people in need.
And Kowagaru desire for vengeance…. Not even him know what to think about it. He know the time he will have to face his brother was getting near, but he wans’t so certain if he would be able to have vengeance on him. But he had not time to think about it. He had a lot of things to do, and a lot of other things to think.
