APPEARANCE,Artist: jlonewolf.deviantart.com
On the line between beast and human, Freedom is sort of waving at the line from deep on the beast side, as though entertained by it. Even in his human form, his hair is pitch black, long, wild, and truthfully like fur, with patches on his forearms. His teeth are long and deadly (as are his nails, which are less like nails and more like a wolf’s claws), his eyes are the frightening yellow of a wolf’s and while he usually does wear a pair of black pants, that’s it; his chest, and its attendant scars, are freely visible to any who would look upon him. Truthfully, Freedom spends very little time in this form, only when he feels interested in interacting with a biped or something. That does not tend to be often. His build is lean and muscular, and he is neither tall nor short, standing at around 5’10”.Artist: koutanagamori.deviantart.com
In his beast form, Freedom is actually less wild-looking, in a bizarre sense: his mane actually shortens, and takes on a bluish hue, while the black swirls on his humanoid form transition into white patterns along his beast form’s shoulders. His form is roughly somewhere between a wolf and a tiger, though larger than both; while he is lithe like a cat, and has the jaw structure of a large, tiger-like animal, his musculature is more heavy and powerful, like a wolf’s that has been blown up twice the normal size. In his beast form, Freedom is about eleven feet long, from head to his rear, and his tail adds on another four feet of length. However you measure him, there’s no denying that in Freedom’s “true” form, he is a massive beast, of compact, powerful muscles and bristling with long, black claws and shockingly white fangs.
Worst of all, though, are his eyes. They are the red of blood, and absolutely unfeeling, inhuman. To look into them is to realize that Freedom is far more beast than man, to realize that he is nothing more or less than a brutally efficient predator, who is very likely sizing up his next meal.
WEAPONS,Claws, teeth. That’s it. Nothing else for this guy.
ITEMS,Nope nothin’.
ABILITIES,Forbidden
However, he cannot simply do this all the time. No, he needs to be focusing in on an opponent, or group of opponents, in order for his ability to reject magic, in theory, so wholly. When he has achieved proper concentration, and is engaged with the enemies he finds before him in full, he can actively shrug off magical assaults, and even worse, cause them to backfire.
Mechanically, this ability is linked to his Predator ability. While Predator is inactive, Unknowable is also inactive; from that point on, Unknowable scales upwards in power according to the level of concentration (i.e. “stacked” turns) he has achieved. When he has only a single turn “stacked,” any magical damage he receives is halved. When he has two turns “stacked,” he can simply ignore any attacks which are magical in origin or form, dismissing them as though they never existed (this is, in fact, what he’s technically doing; denying the very existence of their magic in such hardcore fashion that it actually works). Note that all these buffs vanish the moment he exits Predator mode, i.e, attacks.
However, when he has three turns “stacked,” or in other words is fully focused on a foe, Unknowable is able to not only defend, but counterattack. With three turns stacked, Freedom may choose to respond to any magical attack by instantly launching a mental retaliation, that stuns the target, causing them to stagger and completely drop their guard, while inflicting a fair degree of pain (but no actual damage). If he activates this counter-attack, he must immediately proceed into “unleashing” his stacked attacks, or they will dissipate as though he had broken Predator’s stalking mode.[/size][/ul][/ul]

HISTORY,
If anyone cares about his own history, Freedom certainly doesn’t. He has a habit of telling contradictory or impossible stories about his childhood, to amuse himself.
However, there are a few verifiable aspects of his history, that most people can easily become aware of. Freedom was one of a set of triplets born to a fairly affluent couple living in Castle Town. He was the second born to them, and expected to be the youngest; but the expected twins became triplets when his sister, Amelia, was born.
From a young age, two of the children were extremely unusual. From the moment he left the womb, Freedom—whose name, long ago, was Aure—assumed his animal form, an unnaturally large and powerful tiger-like creature, and never left it, rarely speaking to anyone. Extremely perceptive and fierce, he alone was able to observe what, exactly, made his young sister different for a young age; he kept his thoughts to himself, however, and would only protect his sister in silence. While his eldest sister, Ahri, was always a social creature, from a young age Freedom scorned the place he lived in, and was almost impossible to raise. By the time he was fifteen years old, and roughly the size of an average tiger, he had become nearly impossible to handle.
At this point, the stories diverge, largely thanks to Freedom’s own cunning and the secrecy which shrouded his young life. The most only verifiable fact is that the son of that affluent Minish family suddenly went missing, and would only reappear years later through a series of rumours, of a monstrous beast attacking people and creatures in dark forests, down old paths that few would use in modern times.
Wherever he came from, whatever the cause for his return, Freedom won’t say. And neither, curiously, will his father. Funny, that.
EXTRAS,
Freedom isn’t really his name, as such. He will usually introduce himself to any stranger by some word that means “freedom,” either a direct translation in another language, or simply through a synonym. As far as Freedom is concerned, something like a name is useless.
