My first-ever Original Character Spotlight will focus on ANDREAS, as voted by my lovely patreons! Sorry that I'm posting it so very late, February has been a busy month and I'm very much still figuring out How To Patreon (when to do what, posting schedule, etc). Anyway, let's get to it!

Andreas story takes places in the late 1800s, mainly in France and England; He's part of an RP-verse that me and my partner kubi have created together, known as Gods Among Us (GAU). He is a "classic" kind of werewolf, where his lycantrophy is a curse (at least at first). Back in his late teens his village was plagued by a dangerous creature, and in an attempt to protect his community, Andreas managed to kill it. It turns out the creature was an ancient beast of the forest, and a fae queen mourning its death curses Andreas - making the hunter become the beast.
He doesn't have any control over his shapeshifting, and when he turns he loses control of his mind as well - it happens every full moon, transforming his body and dulling his thoughts until the only thing that remains is an insatiable hunger and an urge for violence. It sends him roaming for something or someone to kill and eat, makes him forget the faces of loved ones, and renders him unable to remember who he truly is. At least, that's the way it is up until he meets Julian. More on that in a bit.
The main theme of his story is the classic trope of 'thinking that you're a monster and unworthy of anyone's love.' He always tries to somehow physically restrain himself in preparation for the full moon - barricading himself in an earth cellar, chaining himself to a rock, stuff like that. But sometimes when the moon is upon him he manages to break free of his bonds, and goes on a bloodthirsty rampage. He's killed innocent people, and hates himself for it. He's full of guilt and regret, knowing that he's a murderer and a monster, and since he's a christian he's convinced that he'll inevitably go to hell. He knows that the right thing to do would be to turn himself over to justice, to let them put him down like the mad dog he is. But ... he wants to live, you know?
Andreas finds himself unable to settle down, often having to re-locate lest someone manages to figure out who and what he truly is. He finds work as a hunter or blacksmith, but always keeps to his own, appearing grumpy and unapproachable. His unfriendly manners is really just his attempt to protect other people from himself - he hates to be alone and at heart he's more of a golden retriever type of guy (aka a very good doggo). He's a pack animal trying to be a lone wolf because letting anyone near would increase the risk of him hurting them.
And then, in this small english village, there's this barkeep, Julian, who insists on befriending him. Andreas tries to keep him at arm's distance, afraid of putting him at risk, but the two grow very fond of each other and before long the unresolved sexual tension is so thick in the air that you could spread it on a sandwich.
History repeats itself; a few people turn up dead, "torn apart by what must be a very large wolf," and Julian joins the hunting parties trying to track the beast down. The monster attacks him in the woods, pinning him to the floor, but stops just shy of tearing his throat out - as if it recognised him - and disappears back into the darkness. In the morning Julian finds Andreas stumbling through the forest, bloody and naked and injured by a bullet Julian had fired in self-defense. Rather than turning him in he sneaks Andreas back to his cabin and dresses his wounds - Andreas has a fair bit of whisky to deal with the pain, and long story short they end up cuddled up in the same bed.
The next morning Andreas wakes up with a raging boner, nuzzled up tightly against Julian's ass. Thinking Julian is still asleep he inches back and goes outside to deal with it, but Julian was awake to begin with and ends up spying at him through the window. In other words they're both hopeless idiots, jacking off on each side of the cabin wall, fantasizing about each other. Thankfully, it's not long before they finally get it on; Andreas asks Julian why the hell he'd help him. Julian wordlessly explains by kissing him, and soon enough they're back in bed.
From then on, Julian insists on staying by his side. Even as the monster hunter Mme Duval gets close to tracking him down and Andreas has to leave the village, Julian decides to go with him, leaving his old, safe life behind for the sake of his new, dangerous love. He insists on watching over Andreas during the full moons, too, making sure he doesn't escape his bonds - and with time he starts figuring out how to calm werewolf!Andreas down. Thanks to Julian Andreas starts learning how to retain control of his mind even in the light of the moon; he learns how to resist the hunger, and eventually doesn't need to be chained up.
Ya'll know what happens next, don't you? One full moon they end up cuddling, Julian laughing and protesting as werewolf!Andreas starts licking at his face, playfully wrestling him to the floor. Things turn less playful when Andreas starts lapping at his neck and chest, nibbling at him and giving him looks of a wholly different kind of hunger. Julian, flushed and panting and really into it, removes his shirt and pants, and ends up having his ass eaten out by a horny werewolf. Andreas is a Big Boy, though, and they both know it would probably be a bad idea to try to force his cock inside him without proper preparation - instead, Julian ends up on all fours with Andreas just frotting between his thighs, covering his stomach and chest with cum.
The night of the full moon goes from being a waking nightmare to being their mutual secret and the perfect time to ... bond even closer. Fast forward a few months, and Julian gets knotted for the first time. So yes, this is a story about kinky werewolf sex, but it's also a story about finding love and acceptance even though you think you don't deserve it. They have many adventures down the road, and with time Andreas manages to accept who and what he is. He becomes more in tune and at peace with himself, learns to control his shape-shifting, and eventually kind of replaces the forest beast he killed so many years ago. All thanks to Julian, who looked at him and saw a person instead of a monster.
