Being a werewolf Alpha kind of lends itself to being a stud I would think. More and more I am liking Erik as a character. I picture him as a werewolf whose been a round a bit, traversing the world on his motorcycle rarely staying too long in one place. One characteristic I have decided he has is an overwhelming need and desire to protect others, usually underdogs and social pariahs. After all he's a werewolf so he's sort of outside the norms of human society isn't he? Just don't think being a victim wins you points cause it doesn't, In Erik's view you'd have to be a fighter. A gay guy might find himself hopelessly out numbered by some homophobic asshats who want to do him harm or maybe they have already beaten the crap out of the dude but he still tries to fight them off, this would win Erik's respect (probably a lot more too). Whining on tumblr that someone didn't throw you a surprise birthday party, that would probably make him want to rip your throat out.

I have decided that Erik is gay, not flamingly so, but more in a leather muscle dude type. He's reserved, probably occasionally goes to a Pride event or gay bar. I would imagine in a dance club scene he'd be totally shirtless in a pair of jeans or leather chaps just enjoying the attention his physique would probably get, maybe do some window shopping. He's also a passionate guy in bed he'll rock the bed maybe buckle the frame. He definitely wouldn't mind getting down, dirty, and sweaty.

As far as fellow werewolves, I'd say he's reluctant to take anyone new on unless they know what they are getting into. He'd be the kind of werewolf that would be very careful about recruitment and be a complete dick to any other werewolf that just goes around recruiting anyone and everyone, after all there's always a risk. His favorite possession is a brown cloth cap he has and often wears. He'll also be spotted in a black leather jacket, jeans, tight v neck t shirts, leather chaps, boots, usual biker gear.

That's about all I've flushed out on him thus far.
