Personality: Porter is an interesting man. Quiet, but talkative with the right people. Distant, yet warm with those he loves. Observant, yet misses some social cues. Put together, but unhinged in private or around certain people. Unhinged, both in action and what he says, both in terms of oddity and morality. He sorts of just does what his mind prompts him to, and he also just does what he is told. His wolf is a bit more dominant in him than most other peoples, and he is susceptible to his wolf's suggestions, often doing them even when he really shouldn't, or even when he knows if he gets caught he'll get into a lot of trouble. Now, that isn't to say he is controlled by his wolf, but for Porter, his wolf shares an equal space inside him as his humanity, it is simply a matter of which side he'll listen to at any given moment. But he is smart, and careful. He knows how to get around the notice of others, and he is good at slipping through crowds unnoticed. Quiet and graceful, he is like a ghost. People have a tendency to overlook him. Not particularly powerful - he is your average werewolf - he is naturally and inherently strong. His demeanor is an unfazed one. It takes a lot for something to get a huge reaction out of him, good or bad, and that makes him reliable in a crisis or an emergency. He just simply doesn't cared, or is unbothered. A bit apathetic, and not filled with the most compassion for others and their well-being, people don't necessarily see him as he is. Because, yes, he doesn't really care about others all that much, but if he asked for help or advice he'll give it, even if he couldn't be bothered by it. Pain and suffering happens to everyone, but the severity differs. You get what you get and you don't get upset. He is his own jury, judge, and executioner.

Likes: reading, some people, his wolf, going unnoticed, studying others and their behaviors and actions, hunting/chasing, following through with his ideas and plans, intelligence in others, justice

Dislikes: being caught, being noticed, being watched, recklessness and impulsivity, being wrong about someone and their nature, failing

Powers: shifts into a wolf (looks above); heightened sense, speed, strength, reflexes, and durability in human form

Backstory: Porter comes from a very average, very boring background. Two loving parents, an only child, doted on and loved. He grew up very bored, very uncaring of the way his parents spoiled him and loved him and doted on him. He would have been just as uncaring had he been neglected, most likely. He was always content to play by himself, but when other kids asked to play with him, he was just as content to play with them. He was always a kind of odd child, but that was just chalked up to his quietness and keen observation of others. He is perceptive. For a long time, when he was little, he would talk out loud, seemingly to himself. His parents assumed he was playing with imaginary friends or something, and left him to it. But he was talking to his wolf, answering unheard statements and questions aloud, so those listening only heard half a conversation. But he would say some truly wild, out of pocket things for a child to be saying, and he'd deliver them so casually or so uncaring that it could be unnerving. When concern grew, his parents asked him what kind of games he played, why he said what he said. He answered that he was talking to Trent - his wolf, though he didn't specify that - and that Trent would tell him all these crazy things, but that they were just having fun. After a serious conversation, Porter realized that maybe he should keep Trent to himself, because no one seemed to get it. So he got more 'normal' and the concern dropped. He does often communicate with Trent, which his partly why he is so quiet, and Trent has been known - to Porter, at least - to front and be the one to watch everyone. Their eyes are nearly the exact same color, Trent's a little darker, but barely perceptible unless one truly studies his eyes and can truly tell the difference. Subtle differences in demeanor are chalked up to however he feels on a certain day - by others - but usually a demeanor change means Trent is fronting. When he's more gruff, more surly, more blunt and callous, that is typically Trent. But no one ever says anything about that, so whether those close to him know about this situation of his or not, he doesn't know. Nor does he care to find out.

Other: Porter does have DID, and his wolf is not just his wolf the way it typically is for a werewolf, but an alter
Porter is an alter, not the main host
The host never really fronts, and simply exists within him, and is only ever pulled out in truly dire or horrible circumstances, and when that happens, it is clear Porter isn't Porter or Trent, but someone else entirely - only one person has ever met the host, and that person is Porter's best friend, who has kept this secret. The host has no known name, it is forgotten to them.
He does not know that his parents aren't his real parents, he doesn't remember being adopted, he doesn't remember what his life was like other than what he has in his memory
His human side is actually more cruel than his wolf side, but his wolf is far more primal and violent
He is seen as a gentleman by those around him, as he is quite respectful even if he is distant
Porter is quite protective of those he deems worthy of it
Porter does love his parents, he just doesn't show it very well
He was found abandoned, draped in rags, with scars all over his body. He was only four. When asked for his name, he said 'Porter' and that was that.
He does not mind violence or cruelty, and for him it is a cathartic release, but sometimes when others are violent and cruel it strikes a nerve and he lashes out and punishes them for it. This may seem hypocritical, but he has little control over it.
He has killed, but no one knows about it
He enjoys studying people and learning what makes them tick, and what can be used against them, or what they like
His body is covered in scars (as seen above, plus some on his chest but couldn't find images) most from his time before his adoption
He is a bitten werewolf, bitten as a baby, which he doesn't remember. Trent, as an alter, formed as a result of the bite, hence why he is a wolf/akin to a typical wolf in a werewolf
It's hard for people to get close to him, and he to other people, but whomever his mate is will see a different side to him than anyone else sees or has seen
His uncle is the Alpha
He has ties to Crimson River, and he knows the von Weissen's well
