Ananasi
Bio
Sebastian Lacroix seems like a simple sort of man, from a highly renown old world wealty family. His only real crime anyone would tell you is that he is a bit odd, and very reclusive. The truth behind his actions is a well kept family secret. Sebastian Lacroix, well the entire Lecroix familly actually are just as much spider, as they are people. They are from a group of shape-shifters known as Ananasi by name. A name given to them by Ananasa the Spider Queen Goddess that named them when she created them for her own glory. The Lacroix family is not the only family of Ananasi that walk the world of man today, but they are one of the oldest, and most renown to their Goddess Queen for their great deeds.
Ananasa The Spider Queen. Goddess of blood and shadows.
Traits -
Blood
like the rest of Sebastian's spider kin, he is able to draw sustenance and supernatural power from the blood of humans and animals. They may expend the power granted by this blood to heal themselves, move with supernatural quickness, instantly change forms, create webs or to power some of their other unique tallents. Sebastian now feeds exculsivly on only animals, after a event played out that led to the death of a childhood friend named Zil. A young beauty was Zil, a foolish young beauty that found herself on the wrong side of the fangs of a hungry un experianced shifter.
Health
Ananasi do not regenerate like other shifters, they either heal at the same rate as humans, or they may use the power of the blood they have have ingested to heal themselves. Similarly they do not enjoy the immunity to disease that Werewolves and other shifters possess, though they can purge such diseases from their system with the power in their blood.
Spider Traits
Ananasi have many of the advantages of spiders. In all forms other than there human one, they possess multiple pairs of eyes and limbs; they are also able to consciously exude pheromones, making it easy to attract mates. They possess poison glands, which vary according to the species of spider they resemble, and may also spin webs in Pithus form which are tremendously strong.
Forms
Human - In human form Sebastian appears like a normal human male.
Lilian - A human-spider hybrid form, which is not necessarily the same for each Ananasi. Some are humanoid with multiple limbs, while others have a human-like torso sprouting from the abdomen of a giant spider. It is considered a war form.
Pithus - An enormous spider, at least half as heavy again as the werespider's human form.
Crawlerling - The spider form. Unique among the shifter breeds, Ananasi do not transform into a single animal, but rather a swarm of hundreds of spiders. This makes them very difficult to kill, though if significant numbers of the swarm spiders are killed the Ananasi may lose memories, skills and mass in his other forms. This mass can be regained by consuming ordinary spiders. This form is very handy at retreating, gathering information, and many other things.
Statistics (In human form.)
Age: 23
Sex: Male

Being a shifter does have its advantages however, allowing Sebastian the ability to make small changes to his physical form... These changes however are not permanent and will change back over time, or as he sleeps. He can change his body in cosmetic fashion. These changes to his features however are well controlled and look professional. He often uses this ability as a means of guise.
Fashion
Sebastian enjoys alot of the finer things in life due to his family and their vast wealth. He likes to feel like a modern man of the world and has a keen eye for details it is not uncommon to catch Sebastian searching for his next new suit, and taking into account that he is Ananasi he does care about thread count.
He also loves the extra little details, a nice watch around his wrist, a well placed ring on his finger or perhaps a new pair of wing tiped shoes. The point is that Sebastian does care what he is wearing, and what people are thinking about him, he feels he has to care. Recklessness at this point of his life would be both foolish and irresponsible. One less thing for the Lecroix family to worry about in their struggle to blend in with the humans they live around, both the ones they protect and the ones they feed from.
Life Style
The Lecroix family has everything that a young heir to the family dynasty could ever want. However they did allow him the freedom to roam. He has his own property outside of the family and their influnces. Influnces that are both a blessing and a curse to Sebastian Lecroix. He loves the trappings of wealthy living, and dreads the knowing that some day he will have to take his place as monarch of the family.
Addiction
Sebastian has a strong willed animal spirit living within his skin. It controls his actions if he gives in, and alot of horrible things begin to happen, as he spirals down the abyss. As a result Sebastian has taken up to drinking, it allows him a means to keep that primal side of him subdued and easier to control its urges. The booze helps make the spider within slumber, which does make life more comfortable for a time. Sebastian veiws it as an excape, an excape that could lead to a pemature death however due to the loss of alot of his inborn abilities.
Obsessive–compulsive disorder
Sebastian Lecroix suffers from OCD. This disorder is a factor in his life, and causes Sebastian alot of trouble. This is something that he has very little control over except when he is drunk. Sebastian's OCD is caused by the spider within him being obsessed with gems. If Sebastian even see's a gem stone he obsesses about it, untill he obtain's it. This has led to Sebastian also becoming a horder. Sebastian has a hord, not unlike a dragon's hord it is in a hidden location, a huge pile of gem stones of all sizes shapes and pigments. It is quite a sight to behold, but to find it may very well lead to a horrible death for any of the unlucky soul's that stumble upon it.
The Lecroix Family
Headed by Sebastian's father Horatio Lecroix is the Lecroix family. However if Horatio is the king of them then Sebastians mother Giselle is the queen, without question she is the eyes and ears of everything that is currant Ananasi events, she almost single handedly runs the operation aspect of the family business. Horatio on the other hand keeps the channles open between the other Ananasi family's and acts as a type of speaker of the house in a way. Heratio also acts as a type of protector for his kin, and his more distant relatives, all Ananasi are welcome at Heratio's table, and subject to his hospitality. However not all Ananasi are Lecroix and that does carry some consideration, because even if they are spider folk they are still not to be trusted completely spider folks are very well known for not always having one anothers best interest in mind. Sebastian also has two older sisters named Donna and Miranda.
Giselle Lecroix enjoys Horatio's embrace. She is in her human form and he has taken on his crawlerling form. Due to his age and great level of power Horatio is able to mix his crawlering and pithus form to some degree... Something that Sebastian has never been able to do yet. Horatio is without a doubt one of the most powerfull spider shifters of this age.

The anceint ancestor
Hannibal. Not much is known about this creature of a man. He is from an era long since dead, and the only real info about him is writen on a scroll that the Lecroix family keeps under lock and key. He is belived to be the missing link between the Leroix family and Ananasa herself, incarnation. Hannibal was astonishingly powerful, and had put a mark on the world itself. For it is said that all the good hidding places for a spider today, are gifts left behind by his carrfully planned hands.
