Personality: He has a strong hatred of all humans. He hates most furries as well; claiming they are too similar to humans. He behaves in a feral manner, and does not like to speak very often. It seems the only living beings he cares for are wild animals and his daughter Maura Moore. Nanook becomes enraged when he discovers animals being domesticated (pet dogs, cows raised for milking, horses breed for races, etc). When he is in the wild Nanook is at his calmest. He is not against killing animals but only if they are used for food.

Weapons: Nanook has a dislike for weapons but has come to accept them as a necessity. His weapons range from a spear (Wooden pole and bone head), wooden spike with a poison tip, and Mohawks. He will rarely carry more than one at a time and will refuse to use them if his opponent is unarmed.

Biography:
Nanook was born as Anthony Moore. He lived a relatively normal childhood. His parents were older when they gave birth to him and died of natural causes while he was in College. Anthony was fascinated by the science of evolution and went on to get a doctors degree in evolutionary theory. In his last year of college he wrote a paper detailing his hypothesis of how furries came to be that raised controversy. He believed humans were the first superior beings and it was in his theory that furries were a set of animals that derailed from their species genetic code in response to humankind’s efficient survival. After generations of evolution they caught up to humans and were similar enough to them now to share mutual environments. While some embrace his theory, others criticize his lack of evidence. He then became determined to make it his life’s work to find support for his hypothesis.
Shortly after his graduation he married a colleague Julia Moore. Soon their marriage would be complimented with a daughter whom they named Maura Moore. They lived happily until they reached their 8th year of marriage, when Julia was diagnosed with cancer. 2 years later she passed away and Anthony found himself in deep grief. In an effort to cope with the death of his beloved wife, Anthony began to focus heavily on his career. He believed the only way he’d find evidence for his research would be through field study. Anthony decided to do a case study on wild bears and attempt to make genetic comparisons between them and himself. Thus he left his daughter in the care of one his college friends and set out to make camp in a forest near the wild bear’s habitat.
During his stay in the wilderness he analyzed a family of bears from afar. The family was comprised of a mother and her cubs. He recorded their mannerisms and took DNA samples from hair he could find in their trails. Every day he became more comfortable with the bears and was able to get closer to the family. Days passed into months and he was finally able to be amongst them without being harmed. He spent less and less time at his camp and more time with the bears as time went on until one day he decided not to return to camp. He had been accepted into their family. Anthony was no more and now there was only Nanook Somehow he found solace from the pain he felt for his late wife. For 4 years he lived amongst the bears, learning from them how to survive. He saw the cubs grow up, and the mother bear give birth to more children. However it seemed that his happiness was not meant to last.
One day a few poachers were coming through the woods and shot the mother of the new bear family. Enraged Anthony attacked them viciously and beat them to death with a branch. Something inside of him had finally snapped. He offered the dead poachers to the new baby cubs as a meal. The two cubs picked the poachers bones clean, and Nanook even joined in with the meal.
Nanook was bloodthirsty, and no longer believed his previous theory. He now believed that humans were an evil race that had misled animals into becoming like them. That the true superior species were wild animals, and that to set things right every last human would have to be hunted down. He developed a deep hatred of civilization, and although he hated humans the most, Nanook still hated civilized furries for being like humans. For two more years Nanook trained himself to hunt humans. He worked on his ability to create weapons and poison, and how to fight.
After disappearing for 6 years Anthony finally returned to civilization as a hunter. However Anthony wasn’t the same person he was when he left. Nanook has not returned to his daughter. No one is sure if he is even aware of his previous life. Nanook scarcely talks anymore. Nobody knows what happened to him during those 6 years that made him become what he is today.

Moves/Combat Style:
His style is raw and brutal. He developed his own unique style of combat while spending time in the wild. His technique is based primarily around brute force. Nanook’s fighting style composes mostly of elbow strikes, head butts, simplistic grapples, slashes, and bare knuckled punches.
He has only one truly distinct move: Berserk. It takes him at least one minute to get into his berserk frame of mind. To get into this frame of mind Nanook will begin to make lacerations on his chest and bite down on his tongue. When he is in it, he fights to his optimum strength and dexterity. His blows are stronger and more accurate, and his senses are heightened. However this move is very strenuous. 10 minutes will make him exhausted, 15 minutes will make him pass out, and anything longer than 20 could put him at risk to an aneurism or heart failure. It is important to know that in this form he does not have super strength, but is simply fighting at his maximum potential by stimulating a severe adrenaline rush.

Skills: Because of his time in the wild, he has become a very efficient hunter, climber, swimmer and all around survival. He is capable of making his own weapons (weapons of wood, bone and leather), as well as making simple herbal medicines. Nanook has learned how to abstract poisons from deadly animals he has hunted. However, Nanook is careful about using poisons because he does not have an adequate knowledge of them to make anti-venoms. Nanook knows how to set up traps in the wild, but chooses to only do so when he feels he is an unfair fight. Although it has been years since he’s studied in this field, Nanook is still very knowledgeable in the area of evolution.

Advantages: Nanook is a very capable survivor and does not need modern society to stay alive. He is very resourceful in nature. He has developed a strong resistance to sickness, a high threshold for pain, and a strong temperature tolerance, though neither of these are powerful enough to be considered super natural. He is fairly agile but does not rely primarily on agility. He has toughed his body to withstand a lot of blunt force in combat. This of course has its limitations. Basically he can take a good beating before going down but once again this advantage isn’t strong enough to be considered supernatural.

Disadvantages: Nanook’s greatest disadvantage is his own personal codes of conduct. He will not use weapons against someone who is unarmed, will not use modern weapons, will not use vehicles, only eats food he has hunted himself, will not use traps if he feels he is in a fair fight, indifferent to social mannerisms, refuses to use any form of technology, will not allow himself to be treated in a hospital, and will not sleep indoors. His other weakness is the fact does not really have any supernatural abilities. He does not have super strength, speed, or any elemental/magical abilities. He feels a strong conviction towards his morals.
