History @ WikiaPersonality: The first thing to know about Randall is that he is
facetious or at least appears to be. Every other word out of his mouth seems to be a joke or a funny name or just some way to turn the situation into a farce. This tendency isn't only in his words. When faced with the decision about whether or not to kill someone, he and his friends played beer pong for that person's life.
While most of the time, he's the life of the party, this nature has also led to him being discounted by his friends, even when they should know better. The reality is that while he can be a bit
hyper, can also be
responsible,
studious, and
driven. The first time he appears it's not as a Knight but as an RA for the dorm. Moreover, he's on the verge of finishing a pre-med degree from the college while others in the Knights are still struggling to figure out what they want to do.
Part of the perception of being facetious comes from his naturally being a
class clown. Part of it comes from the
insensitive way that he (and his fellow Knights, at first) treat the lives of the members of the Order. Murdering an Order member, or even a victim of an Order member being manipulated by magic, isn't seen as wrong but as their duty. A duty they have performed enough that they have a post-murder ritual called an aprés-kill drink.
After they end up being forced to join the Order, his fellow Knights start to see some of the good sides of what can be done with magic. Randall, however, remains
inflexible and it is one of the few subjects that he seems to take seriously as his friends start to lean more towards seeing the Order as something good, or at least something that can be redeemed. Both have good points, but neither wants to hear the other. He is also somewhat
hypocritical in his opinions because he uses magic to open a portal to a dimension that they reference as Hell.
This stubborn attitude also reveals another side to Randall, one he generally takes pains to hide. He has a temper that he usually has a strict control over. The first reveal of this temper is after a scientist has kidnapped him and performed experiments on him to enhance his aggression. The revealing detail is not that he loses his control, but in how long it takes before he does. This speaks to an anger that is already being contained with rigid control. Instead, his impulse control is let loose in other, more acceptable venues. Drinking, killing people who do bad magic, wisecracks at inopportune moments.
Powers and Abilities: Werewolf Transformation: The Hide can turn their champion into a werewolf. Because of the length of time wearing the Hide, Randall can transform at will. In addition, he can also perform a partial transformation, revealing claws, sharp teeth, or dark veins along the neck.
Magic Detection: The Hide can detect when someone uses dark magic, alerting the Werewolf and sometimes triggering a transformation. In this case, dark magic means either the direct harming of a person by magical means or the use of an external (not self) sacrifice in the form of life, blood, or other more minor harms in order to power a spell.
Lycanthropic Enhancement: The Hide also develops a werewolf's physical capabilities, such as their strength, senses, and resilience while in their human form. However, it seems that some of these attributes are only present during states of heightened emotion.
Enhanced Strength: Usually during a state of heightened emotion, werewolves in their human form possess significantly enhanced physical strength. They can perform physical feats such as sending people flying through the air, knocking doors off of their hinges or effortlessly bending a steering wheel.
Enhanced Senses: Over time, a werewolf's senses of sight, smell and hearing will become significantly more acute, being comparable to certain animals. Their sense of smell is so acute that they can detect someone approaching by scent before they see or hear them.
Enhanced Resilience: Werewolves, both in their human form and transformed state, are more resilient to physical trauma, as well as certain magical effects. They are far more resilient to the effects of magic than humans.
Accelerated Healing: Werewolves can heal and recover from injuries at a faster rate than normal human beings; this has allowed them to recover from withdrawal more quickly and regenerate injuries such as being stabbed in the eye almost instantly. This does not make him immune to being killed.
Magic: Since joining the Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose, Randall has (grudgingly) learned some magic.
Inventory:
Hide locker - because death separates the hide from the champion, this will allow Greybeard to appear in the locker if Randall dies in the game, to be reunited with him when he wakes up and finds the locker again.
Grimoire - a grimoire of spells that the Order has taught him.
The Order costume, used during certain rituals.

Personality: For a doctor-in-training, Randall Carpio has a very skewed sense of morals. Taken into the Knights of Saint Christopher after he rescues a child, he's given a choice. Become a superhero and root out all bad magic or go back to a normal life. Given those two options, who wouldn't want to be a superhero?
There is one side to Randall that is the partier. He's the one who'll suggest a game of beer pong to determine the fate of someone's life, even when he ends up saving that person anyway. He's the one who'll grab the clearly underage student a drink and make sure his residents know that as long as he doesn't see them break the rules, it's as good as if they never broke them at all.
But underneath that is the person who rescued a child from the hands of their abductor. He's the one with an iron will who, when drugged and faced with numerous attempts to get him to turn into a wolf and slaughter everyone he comes in contact with, manages to stay himself, only cracking under the pressure when he finds out he's been betrayed.
Those skewed sense of morals? He's willing to kill in order to do what he thinks is right. He thinks nothing of eating the heart of someone doing bad magic or even someone who's a victim of it. He's willing to kill one of the elite members of the Order in order to get his friend out of a Demon Realm. He's willing to get his hands dirty doing what he thinks of as right.
Because of this, it isn't much of a surprise that, by the end of the show, he's still the last holdout of people still wary about the Order and his place in it. He's been learning magic, learned that the Knights were originally protectors of the Order, but there is still doubt and distrust. Even with some of the bad things he might do, he still does them in service of good and he's not convinced that the Order and magic is or can be good.
The Hide chooses its champion, but it also changes its champion for the duration of their time together and Greybeard, the wolf that chose Randall, was always known as the Fearless one.

Magic: Since joining the Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose, Randall has learned a small amount of magic. (A full list of spells used in the show can be found here, but he won't know all of those.) Because of his aversion to magic, he won't use it often.

What Plots Would You Like To See In Game: I'd love to see something that might involve werewolves of some degree, but I'd also like to see some kind of plot that might somehow remove (temporarily) Greybeard's hide from Randall. He's been with Greybeard for so long, it might be interesting to explore who he is without his wolf.
