Super Powers:
Animal Transformation
Sid has the ability to transform his body into that of a werewolf. This shouldn't be confused with being a Lycan because he does not get enhanced strength and stuff like that, but he does get the average wolf senses. He also gets a bit faster in this form than in his human form. Sid can control his transformations although if he's really scared or angry he may accidentally change or come very near to changing. His Canine teeth don't change though, so Sid has a mouth like a canine would.
Zoopathy
Sid has the ability to communicate with other animals like lions, dogs, cats, and especially with other wolves. This also extends to people with animal transformations, although he can no longer communicate with them once they turn back into humans.
Hyperbite
Sid has unusually strong teeth and jaws that allow him to bite and hold up to 200 pounds. Once he clamps onto something with his teeth it is usually very hard to get him off of it. This ability is carried into his wolf form.
Claws
Sid has retractable claws that come out of his fingers. These are a copy of the claws that his wolf form has, although these are longer and generally sharper than the wolf version.
Learned Abilities:
Lock Picking
Sid knows how to lock pick, meaning that he can unlock doors without a key. He often used this ability in his old life and is very skilled at it. He would be a good thief if not for the fact that he isn't the most graceful person in the world.
Equipment: Sid usually carries around a few lockpicks disguised as jewelry or hidden away in his pants, shirt and jacket just in case he needs to escape. His favorite place to hide the lockpicks is in small containers on a leather gauntlet that are disguised as large black gems.
Weaknesses (Must Have): Sid is especially weak about his emotions, loosing control over himself if he gets too scared or too angry. When he's in his animal form he sometimes reverts to the mind of a wolf, leading to him acting a bit savagely. Sid is especially clumsy, and is mostly accident-prone. His claws are just like normal animal claws, they can be cut or ripped off just like a normal animal's claws could.
Background:
Sid barely remembers anything about his past from beyond being apparently 18 years old. His first memory is being found in an alleyway wearing a white, plain T-shirt and white shorts. It was the middle of winter and the man who found him was a gang leader of a local thieving gang. Sid didn't know what his name was and so the leader, known to Sid as Black Snake, named him Sid after the Sex Pistol's Bass Guitar Player. He was given some more weather-appropriate clothes to wear and a place within the gang in exchange for helping them with heists.
Sid didn't know right from wrong and thought that what he was doing was right despite the hurt and general pain that he caused the people who he was stealing from. He continued to work for the gang until he met a young girl named Melanie Heinrich and her family who owed money to the gang. The gang, without Sid's help, kidnapped the girl for ransom since the family had skipped out on their "bills" to the gang. Sid met the girl while guarding her and got to knew her. Melanie explained to him about her family and even gave him her last name as well as a middle name that was her deceased little brother's name.
When the parents refused to pay, the gang was going to kill the girl as an example but Sid fought them off, escaping with the girl. This was when he unleashed his powers, turning into a wolf and carrying the girl on his back as he dashed far away from the gang's headquarters. Sid delivered Melanie to her parent's home, for which the parents were grateful. He stayed at their home for two days, refusing to stay there permanently despite Melanie's wishes.
Sid left mysteriously the night of the second day and lived on the street. Several of his old gang members put a hit out on Sid, but he has managed to repel them so far. He stays at a male run-down boarding house with a cheap rent and makes his living as a package and message deliverer for normal and not-so-normal people. When he's not delivering packages he fights crime on the street as Remus.
Personality : Sid's a very nice guy, a cheerful young male to boot. He carries the look of a bad boy with his fake leather jacket, but almost none of the attitude. With his relationship to wolfs and other animals he doesn't like meat and is a vegetarian. Sid is a street smart guy, although not really academically successful due to (presumably) never going to school. He has a pretty bad temper if someone gets on his bad side, and that temper usually leads to the person who he gets angry at meeting his wolf form. Sid despises the "holier then thou" attitude that some people have around him once his gang past is brought out into the open. He has a soft spot for little kids, and in his free time goes to the playground and has gotten to know some parents really well. Sid has a sense of humor and often likes to play pranks against his friends. He can get a bit depresses when people start talking about their past because he doesn't remember his.

Brief Sample Roleplay Sid sat on the back of his black delivery motorcycle waiting for a woman who was going to get a present to be delivered to a friend of hers. Sid was wearing his skinny black jeans, fake leather jacket, converse, and ripped 70s shirt that with his spiky hair made him look like a punk. He let his mind wander to what would happen if he just transformed here, and dashed the package over to it's location. He'd probably get chased by some people who hated people like him and by his luck he'd probably get killed by them too. Sighing, he brushed a fly off of the top of his spiky hair, listening to the woman call out an apology as she searched for the missing package.
He could hear the door open and woman step out and looked at her, getting up off of his vehicle to give her a hand. Sid took the package from her arms and strapped it down to the back of his motorcycle. He would return for payment after he had delivered the package he decided and got back onto the seat of his motorcycle. Turning it on, Sid drove off, passing a music store that was blasting music from the Sex Pistols. He turned a corner and stopped his motorcycle, taking out a piece of paper that he had recorded the address on earlier. "This is so it," Sid said with a childish grin on his face.
He started by taking the package off of his motorcycle before walking to the front door. Ringing the doorbell, he waited whistling, until the door was opened by a woman in her late 20s. The next few minutes consisted of Sid giving the woman her package and telling her the message that the other woman had told him before he left. Sid got back onto the motorcycle and started to drive back towards the woman's house. It took him about 15 minutes to get back to the other house, finding a shortcut that took at least 10 minutes off, and got paid. It was a bigger amount of money than usual, which made Sid happy as he drove off to refill the motorcycle's tank and to grab a bite to eat.
