Fraying battle vests laden with enamel pins and rusted spikes, insect tattoos crawling up scarred arms and peeking out from torn sleeves, chipped black nail polish on restless hands gripping the wheel of a stolen car, the sharp tang of motor oil and sweat, the clatter of boots on damp London cobblestones, smoke curling from a half-burnt cigarette, a perpetual scent of decay and leather, rotting flesh hidden beneath layers of DIY clothes, music blasting from a cassette deck drowning out the sound of sirens, a smirk that borders on a snarl, and eyes that refuse to look away from the chaos.

Immortality and Regeneration
Kerry Lange exists in a state of cursed immortality. No mortal wound—be it bullets, swords, or dismemberment—can bring him true death. His body regenerates at an unnerving rate, with severed limbs regrowing and gaping wounds sealing themselves shut. Yet, this curse is not without its complications:Pain is Eternal: Every injury is felt with agonizing clarity. While Kerry can heal, the pain remains a constant, sharp reminder of his humanity. Wounds that are particularly severe may scar permanently, leaving behind faint traces of his suffering.Decay and Hunger: When Kerry goes too long without feeding—whether on energy or another source—his body begins to rot. Flesh blackens, joints stiffen, and decay creeps across his form, but even as he falls apart, the curse denies him the release of death. Feeding temporarily restores his vitality, halting the progression of rot.Tethered Soul: Kerry cannot stray far from Francis Highmore, to whom he is spiritually and magically bound. This tether pulls him back no matter how far he tries to escape, serving as both a lifeline and a shackle to his existence.Hunter Mode
When provoked or driven to defend himself, Kerry becomes a predator with unnatural abilities:Enhanced Speed: His movements become a blur, faster than the human eye can follow. This speed, combined with precise reflexes, makes him a formidable opponent.Contortion and Flexibility: Kerry’s body is capable of horrifying feats of flexibility. He can dislocate his joints, bend backward, and twist his form into grotesque shapes, evading attacks or striking from impossible angles. This inhuman agility, paired with his speed, makes him nearly impossible to pin down.

Kerry’s existence is one of paradox: immortal yet vulnerable, powerful yet bound, alive yet decaying. As he roams the darkened alleys and hidden corners of the world, he struggles to reconcile what he has become with the remnants of the man he once was.

*STRENGTHS

Undying Resilience: Kerry’s inability to die renders him a near-unstoppable force in battle. No matter how dire the wound, his body will heal, and he will rise again.Predatory Instincts: In hunter mode, Kerry’s sharp reflexes and adaptability make him deadly in combat, able to react faster than most can anticipate.

*WEAKNESSES

Constant Pain: Immortality does not spare him from suffering. Every wound is felt as keenly as if it were mortal, and the cumulative toll of pain can weigh heavily on his psyche.Dependence on Feeding: Without feeding, Kerry’s body begins to decay, leaving him vulnerable and grotesque. His need to consume makes him reliant on a dangerous and often morally gray sustenance.Bound to Francis: His attachment to Francis limits his autonomy. The bond keeps him from venturing far, and his survival depends on maintaining this fragile connection.Mental Fractures: The constant cycle of pain, decay, and regeneration wears on Kerry’s mind, leaving him prone to moments of madness, despair, or uncontrollable rage.

Kerry Lange was born in Germany to Sibyl Lange, a wide-eyed and restless 14-year-old navigating the crushing weight of early motherhood. Kerry’s arrival into the world was a whisper of chaos, the product of a brief, forbidden romance with a much older man—a twenty-two-year-old from London whose bad reputation would become an ominous shadow over Kerry’s childhood. Sibyl, pressured by family and circumstance, was quickly married to this man, leaving her to balance the precarious roles of wife and mother before she’d even grown into herself.The early years of Kerry’s life were spent nestled in the modest warmth of his Ashkenazi Jewish-German grandparents’ home. They were a stable force in his tumultuous world, offering fleeting moments of comfort amid the instability of his parents' relationship. Despite his mother’s youth, the bond between Sibyl and Kerry was profound, built as much on their closeness in age as well as their shared resilience.When Kerry was still young, the family relocated to Camden Town, UK—a place that would become both a haven and a hell for him. His father, now fully in control of the household, revealed himself to be a cruel and abusive presence. Sibyl, trapped in the suffocating confines of her marriage, began to unravel. She sank into a fog of depression, her once-bright spirit dulled by lethargy and hallucinations. She spoke often of “angels” that only she could see, beings that hovered at the edge of her perception and drove her into cycles of manic inspiration and terrifying despair. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, Sibyl’s grip on reality became increasingly tenuous, culminating in a manic episode that led to her hospitalization.

Left alone with his father, Kerry endured a darker nightmare. The man who should have protected him instead became his greatest source of fear, subjecting Kerry to physical and sexual abuse that shattered the last remnants of his childhood innocence. Desperate to escape the suffocating confines of his home, Kerry became a runaway and drop-out. The streets of Camden offered an escape, albeit a brutal one, and Kerry soon found himself swept up in the chaotic embrace of the burgeoning punk scene as well as the world of hard drugs.Kerry’s teenage years were a blur of mischief and mayhem. He found solace in rebellion, carving out a place for himself in the underground world of punk music and culture. Nights were spent in dingy clubs, his voice hoarse from screaming into the void alongside like-minded misfits. He started smoking, drinking, and experimenting with drugs at an age too young to comprehend their consequences. The harder and faster life moved, the less time he had to face the pain he experienced at "home."Through it all, Kerry clung to music as his anchor. He found that he was excellent at most instruments and a natural in the scene. But despite his creativity, the scars of his past were not so easily silenced. The echoes of his father’s abuse and his mother’s illness lingered, shaping him into a man both fiercely independent and deeply wounded.Kerry Lange is a survivor, but survival comes with its own burdens. Leaving to America, and most particularly Los Angeles, CA with a dream of becoming a rockstar and with the hope of protecting and helping his mother, he finds himself in line with a darker and more insidious path.
