---------------------------------------------
Physical Description: Graham is a strong but deceptively lean young man with wavy brown hair and dark brown eyes. Judging by looks alone he very much seems the friendly farm boy.
Personality: Not having had much social contact outside of his immediate family, he is understandably awkward around strangers. Despite this, he is eager to become not-strangers with new people.
Power Explanation: Graham has the ability to shapeshift into a large elk (wapiti to you silly Europeans). This comes with a keen sense of smell, heightened agility, and the general animal shifter regeneration factor.
History: Graham Jaeger was born the son of gold medal Olympic archery champion George Jaeger who was stripped of his medal for alleged cheating that he still claims was a setup. That event, coupled with the later trauma of losing his wife to illness, set the man on a path of increasing paranoia that ultimately led to believing he had to prepare his sons for the inevitable collapse of civilization. No, the logic jump never made sense to anyone else either, but that only reinforced his decision to cut his children off from the outside world.
So, after the age of nine, Graham was raised virtually off the grid in a cabin in the woods. His continued education consisted mostly of lessons in archery, tracking, and scavenging, with the occasional book lesson thrown in to satisfy home schooling regulations. One day, around when he turned sixteen, he went missing. Days later, a hunter in the area found the biggest elk stag he had ever seen and, predictably, shot it. Then, it turned into a person.
He was questioned in the hospital but did what his father told him and said nothing. Eventually his father found him, but something a visiting X-Corp representative had told him had stuck. After a huge fight, Graham ran away and contacted X-Corp. After the dust settled and he caught up on some of his missed education, he was sent to the university. He did not register with the US government.
