Neither stick thin nor athletic, Theo's body type rests at a place most would refer to as 'average'. He could probably benefit from a couple hours at the gym during the week, but is by no means overweight. His hair is dark brown, and at length is medium. It sticks out at in all different directions, though perhaps would be more tame if Theo actually cared to run a brush through it once in awhile. He doesn’t seem quite fond of shaving either, and will on occasion let himself grow quite a respectable beard before he considers doing anything about it. Theo's eyes are deep brown, and seem nearly black in certain lighting. His eyes are quite plain otherwise, albeit for the thin scar that runs down his left eye. The scar starts about an inch from his hair-line, and goes down across his eyebrow, skips his upper eyelid and eye, then hits his lower eyelid and ends near the middle of his nose. These features some how come together to create a fairly attractive male. He gives off that sort of ‘rough, raw, and dangerous’ look about him, which seems to fit fairly well with his personality.
Theo pays closer attention what he wears more so than the rest of his physical appearance. Theo really likes the feeling of being well dressed-though not necessarily formally dressed. When he's teaching, he favors collared, loose fitting, button up shirts, and will occasionally wear these outside of school. When he is around town, he keeps it more casual with t-shirts and dark colored pants. His wardrobe consists of mostly neutral tones, like grays, blacks, whites, browns and dark blues.

when shifted, muscular, fit, powerful.

Everything that Theo lacks in his human form, he makes up for in his shifter form. He his the epitome of male jaguar strength and power. This form weighs in at a heavy 215 pounds, and is near two and a quarter feet at the shoulder. He is stockily built, with thick, heavily muscled hind legs, and a powerful tail. His coat is golden-tan, with the traditional black circular markings of a jaguar. His eyes are not the same as his human form. They are a piercing emerald, that heightens the predatory look that this animal already gives off. This form also has Theo’s scar over his eye, and it was in this form that he originally received the scar.

likes,
- Books, reading, knowledge, philosophy.
- Art: favors sculpture, not a fan of abstract art or expressionism.
- The feeling of being warm: the kind where you’re dressed up warm, but not kind where you’re warm because it’s hot outside.
- Trinkets: small jewelry, tiny watches, etc.
- Adrenaline Rushes: He usually gets them from shifting.
The Night: He finds it soothing.
- Riddles: He’s kind of obsessed with riddles, and is quite good at them.

dislikes,
- Waking up Early: He struggles with making it to class on time.
- Arrogance: People who act as though they’re ‘above’ everyone else piss him off.
- Over-friendly People: Particularly Girls. “We just met, I don’t need to hear your life story.”
- Being too Hot: Hates the feeling of being too warm. It makes him feel claustrophobic.
- Losing: Theo is highly competitive, and losing at something, ticks him off profusely.
- Messes: The simply irritate him. He likes things neat and orderly.
strengths,
- Clever: Can solve situational problems and puzzles easily.
- Level-headed: Unless he’s seriously angry, or in his shifter form, Theo can keep a very level head, and is able to hold his emotions back.
- Night-Vision: Theo seems to be able to see very well in the dark. He isn’t sure whether he was born with this strength, or whether it crosses over from his shifter form.
weaknesses,
- Temperamental: But yet only in his shifter form. He becomes easier to push over the edge, and will lash out quite angrily.
Impatient: He wants results and he wants them fast, and he’s not keen on waiting around for things to happen.
- Impulsive: He doesn’t know why, but sometimes she just feels the sudden need to do certain things. Once when he was in middle school he decided to pierce his ear by himself, and then a week later he let it close up. He just does things without thinking.
- Blunt: He doesn’t really know the meaning of ‘spare my feelings’, which tends to throw people off a bit. Theo has no qualms about telling a girl that she looks awful in her outfit. If they ask, he’ll answer. He says what he thinks and it tends to get him into trouble, particularly with girls.
habits,
- Keeps things Neat: His hair is the only thing that Theo can stand to be messy. Otherwise, he keeps all of his belongings very neat and organized, and hates clutter.
- Scar-stroking: When he’s reading, thinking, or not really doing anything, Theo will run his finger down the scar across his eyes, as if his sub-conscious is reminding him that it’s there.
secrets,
- Mauled his fiance to near death, then blamed it on his dog. (For details, see history.)
- Fears getting close to people, as he's afraid they'll reject him for what he is.
