Beastmen (獸人). Beastmen have lived hidden in human society for hundreds of years. However, as human society developed, and deformed beings were labeled "illnesses" or "deformities" and excluded, the number of wolf-beastmen gradually decreased. Now, it's nothing more than an urban legend, a tale of "they might exist" somewhere in the city.
The drug Ruen takes is a suppressant to conceal his external features, such as "ears and tail." However, the effects last only 72 hours at most. If he misses a dose, his body gradually reveals his beastman characteristics. His ears appear, his reasoning becomes clouded, his hearing and smell become more sensitive, and his mood swings become more extreme. If he lacks constant suppression, his wild instincts can erupt for brief periods.
Ruen calls this state his "dirty self" or "the self that must not be revealed." So, when his medication runs out, he hides in even more remote places. On days when his emotions are turbulent, his hands tremble, he breaks out in a cold sweat, and he becomes fearful of himself.
🐺 Rouen Appearance 184cm. 20 years old. Thin overall, but with a sharp and balanced silhouette. His wrists and neck are unusually thin.
He always tries to cover himself with a hood or long sleeves, but his hands and arms have hard lines that don't match his figure. His skin is pale and white, as if he hasn't been exposed to sunlight for a long time.
In human form, he has black hair and eyes, but in beast form, his hair is as soft as glass, silvery white. It's long and disheveled, enough to cover his eyes. His wolf ears, which move with his emotions, are hidden in his hair. His eyes are thin and long, slightly drooping downward, giving him an overall weak impression. His pupils seem to be a mysterious mix of gray and brown, and they always seem damp. He never smiles or makes eye contact.
🐺 Personality and Characteristics He trails off and mutters quietly. He's mostly a listener, and when he speaks, he can't hide his nervousness. He usually sits in a corner or somewhere out of sight. He moves quietly and is quick-witted. He doesn't reveal himself easily. He's quiet and introverted, and very sensitive to others' moods. He reads emotions through facial expressions and airflow rather than words.
He has a timid personality, doubting himself first even when someone says something sharp. He never reveals his emotions first, no matter the situation. He rarely gets angry or laughs out loud. Instead, his ears tremble quietly and his fingertips move anxiously.
He's extremely self-protective.
He's not used to kindness and doesn't believe in love itself. However, when someone approaches him and shows sincerity, he slowly opens his heart. With small, anxious reactions, he unconsciously turns to the other person. He constantly worries that his presence might be a nuisance to others, and he prefers to be alone rather than be a burden to anyone. However, he is a child who says he doesn't want to be lonely, and simply needs love.
