-------------------------------------------------------------
Super Powers: Werewolf Form: Talbain's strength, speed, endurance, and stamina all increase tenfold, as if he were a wolf. He is able to lift and throw, roughly 1.5 tons of weight (more than a car, less than an extended cab truck). His ability to take a hit comes more from practicing various forms of Kung-Fu but is also increased as a Werewolf.
Learned Abilities: Jon Talbain is trained in the areas of Martial Arts, specifically Freestyle Kung-Fu and Ninjitsu, as well as obtaining some of the Mystical Powers. He is able to summon a fiery Lycan Spirit that can be shot at enemies. He has also picked up on some of his Heightened Wolf Senses.He also has the ability to see Ley Lines.
Equipment: No real equipment needed. Sometimes you will see Talbain wearing a Saya with Katana sheathed. Currently Talbain is working on equipment that can be manipulated while transforming.
Weaknesses (Must Have): Although he is a supernatural being, he is weak to anything and everything. He is still a human while in Lycan form. Meaning he is able to make mistakes and is fully aware of his surroundings. His fur is also able to catch on fire, resulting in burns in and out of Lycan form. After transforming, he becomes incredibly weak.
Background:
The Kreutz family is one of the seven noble families of Makai. Though its title is a noble, it would be more suitable to call it an army of warriors and fighters. The current master Xell stands at a height of 5 meters and is a war dragon. He has the most unusual appearance out of all the noble classes. And those who are of his family also have appearances that are far from a human form. But there is no vulgarity and roughness within the family. Unlike the savage forms, they are all first class fighters who are highly trained. They are an organized group who follow orders under strict discipline. They are very loyal to their master. Failing to complete an order or betrayal is paid off with death. Though their numbers are few, they possess powerful one hit attacks and are feared as the "bullet of Makai."
Baraba Kreutz, titled as the "Wolf Lord", is the leader of the royal guardsmen of the Kreutz family. His eyes were the eyes of those who survived countless life-or-death situations. 20 years ago, he had wandered into the human world. But he had forgotten most his memories of his time in the human world. Though he vaguely remembers about the woman who cared for him when he was injured in the human world. When he came back to Makai, he played an active role as a fighter of the Kreutz family. Demitri had even said, "He is my best rival in my life." Demitri felt a certain kind of beauty in Baraba's fighting. A kind not found in the lower darkstalkers. But roughly ten years after he returned to Makai, he suddenly disappeared. Master Xell had searched for him for many years, but he could not be found. Some say that he had returned to the human world to reunite with the woman again. But no one knows the truth of the events.
Jon's mother died shortly after giving birth to him, and there was no way to look for his father. When he found out he was a darkstalker, he felt no anger towards his parents. To him, his parents were just conceptual parents. He was alone since he could remember. He maintained his human self by cursing his fate. His heart was not strong enough to accept everything and to move as his heart desires. Following his inner voice, he devoted himself to fighting to take himself past his limits. This was part of his pride as a human to fight against his other half.
After the events with Pyron, he had lifted his curse and regained his human form. But this was a temporary illusion that he caused. It was impossible to cleanse his own blood. His will couldn't change the future. During the battles in Majigen, he came face to face with his dark self within. The fate that was pulled by his battles. To flee from his curse, he keeps taking himself past his own limits. Though there may be irreversible consequences, he had no choice but to keep going forward. His fate afterwards is unknown. He now lives as a hermit, hoping to find a meaning to his curse. In Darkstalkers 3, his ending shows that he takes care of two children. Depending on what game or comic you are looking at, he is depicted as being vicious or calm. He is the most revered Darkstalker in America, but he does not have any appearances outside the series like Felicia, Morrigan, and Lilith.
Personality: Cynical, but kind. Discouraged, but hopeful.
Other: He has never been married or had any children of his own. However, it is rumored he and Felicia had a love interest some time ago. He and Felicia also took care of two orphans at one point. Although he constantly takes himself past his own limits each transformation, he is currently living as a hermit in hopes to find a meaning to his curse and maybe one day rid himself of it, indefinitely.

Brief Sample Roleplay:
Jon Talbain woke up in a cold a sweat. The nightmares were getting worse. For the past two days he had been having dreams of his past. Visions of his dark curse taking over his conscious self. He feared that he would eventually be unable to control his transformation, and possibly claim more innocent lives. Jon himself had never killed, but the Beast had...
After he followed Demitri Maximoff and the rest of the Darkstalkers to the planet called Earth, nothing had been the same for Jon Talbain. He had experienced many bad dreams, visions, nightmares, you name it. All reflecting on his past, present, and sometimes he even thought it was predicting his future.
Talbain rose from his bed and threw his legs to the side. He stood up and walked towards his living room.
Talbain thought to himself, "Perhaps these nightmares are visions... warning me of a greater threat, not of my own darkness..."
After deciding that the dreams were more than what they seemed, Talbain decided to head out into the city. He had retreated to an abandoned cabin in the mountains of Sierra, California. Close enough to Demitri, but far enough away, just in case his curse took over. Talbain put on his Dark Blue Hakama and Dark Yellow Sash. He decided not to wear his Kimono...just a precaution in case he had to transform. He always shredded through his expensive Kimonos and didn't want to take the risk. With a long drawn out sigh, Talbain walked outside, locked his door, and headed out into the city...
