personality: Before being bitten, Isaac mostly kept to himself and was rather quiet, not wanting to draw attention to himself or to the bruises that he had to come up with excuses for. He put effort into his classes, even though he never seemed able to get a decent grade in chemistry no matter how hard he tried, and was a member of the lacrosse team even though he always warmed the bench every game. Despite the abuse his father dealt him, Isaac still remembers a time before the abuse, and while he hates what his father did to him, on a level he still loves him and misses him even if he is glad for his newfound freedom. This is why memories of his father serve as such a good anchor for him to remember his humanity when he is a wolf.
However, since he got the bite and the subsequent death of his father at the hand of the kanima, everything changed. While in some ways having everyone assume that he probably killed his own father due to the fact that he had motive sharpened his bitterness at the world, for the first time he no longer felt alone. He saw that Derek had his back, and that gave him a confidence he never had before. Now, whenever he’s with another member of his pack, he comes off as cocky and confident, even snarky with a bit of a dangerous edge, and some of this even lingers over when he’s on his own. However, while the bite gave Isaac a newfound zest for life, it didn’t erase years of abuse. When Derek asserted himself as the alpha and put Isaac in his place after Isaac lost control and nearly attacked Stiles on the full moon, Isaac curled up against the wall in fetal position, not just submitting to the alpha as a wolf, but genuinely terrified of that anger as a human as well.
This also might be why Isaac is more prone to violence. While he can control the wolf and keep himself from killing, even having better control than Erica or Boyd, when Stiles and Scott needed tickets to get into a rave to stop the kanima from killing, his first solution was to walk up to someone who had two tickets, beat them up, and take them. He is not sadistic and doesn’t enjoy inflicting pain, but he also has no problem with seeing it as a means to an end.
Isaac also longs for affection. His first assumption when someone tells him to be careful is that they don’t want him to screw something up. He doesn’t tend to expect them to be legitimately concerned for him. For that reason, when Scott clarified that he didn’t want Isaac to get hurt, he was awed and touched. Of course, he still doesn’t fully trust Scott, but on a level he still deeply craves the feeling that others care for him. This is also why he’s intensely loyal to his pack, and is eager to look tough and capable in front of them, but also wanting them to be safe. He wants them to be able to see and appreciate his value, and cement his place in a family that cares for him.
Being used to being told what to do, Isaac at this point in his life is very much a beta. However, he has seen that Derek can make mistakes so is willing to express concerns, although he will ultimately follow orders. His biggest concern, however, is over what is best for the pack, and concern for a packmate’s safety is the most likely thing to bring him to voice an objection. Now that he’ll likely be separated from pack, he’ll probably try to find a new one as quickly as possible, and likely will want to seek out other werewolves to do so. However, if there are none, he will still likely try to improvise a pack.
To those not within his pack, including anyone he may befriend at any point as ‘pack’, he likely will be somewhat abrasive at times, and try to keep up a veneer of cockiness and self-assurance. However, this can easily be cracked if he’s afraid of something or sees signs that someone actually cares about him.
abilities/powers: As a werewolf, Isaac has enhanced senses, such as the sense of smell and hearing of a wolf as well as improved night vision. He also has enhanced strength and is shown easily tossing others much larger than him around, although compared to other werewolves he doesn’t appear particularly strong. This is likely in part due to not having actual fighting skills to back up his enhanced strength as well as the fact that he’s so new to being a werewolf in the first place. He also has improved speed and agility, and werewolves are shown to be able to keep up with cars in the series and easily get onto the roofs of houses. These abilities are stronger when the wolf is closer to the surface, such as when there is a sudden increase in heart rate.
Times of intense, uncontrolled emotion can trigger a transformation into his wolf form, which is a half-man, half wolf creature with pointed ears, extra hair particularly around the sideburns, fangs, claws, and slightly more animalistic facial structures. This can also be triggered by a full moon.
As a wolf, it’s easy to lose control, but Isaac has recently found an anchor, memories of his father before he became abusive, to allow him to control the wolf within. While certain emotional situations might still have the risk of making him lose control, generally he’s able to control both his wolf and human form. He is also capable of triggering only a partial transformation, such as only gaining his claws or fangs.
Isaac also has improved healing, and cuts and other wounds can actually be seen healing. Broken bones heal in only a few minutes, and cuts heal in even less time. However, there are things that he won’t heal from. Wolfsbane bullets not only won’t heal, they will also cause and infection that will continue to spread until they reach his heart, killing him. The only way to prevent this is to either cut off the part of the body that has been shot or to detoxify it with more wolfsbane of the same type.
Burning the right type of wolfsbane has been shown to induce something akin to an asthma attack in werewolves that can result in death. Arrows are often used when hunting werewolves because they cannot begin to heal until it’s pulled out. The same goes for any other impaling object. Cutting a werewolf in half will kill them, as will any other wound severe enough to kill them before they have a chance to heal. An alpha clawing or biting him will only heal at a normal human rate.
As a note: Isaac Lahey is not able to turn people into werewolves through a bite. This is an ability reserved for alphas, which he is not.
first person sample: here
third person sample: Abax City. A city of perpetual night, or so he’d been told. He was glad, at least, that his senses were enhanced to a point where perpetual night wasn’t a hindrance to him, although he had to admit, he’d feel more comfortable knowing the sun would come up sooner or later. He’d also been told that there was no way out of the city, but Isaac wasn’t the sort to be discouraged that easily.
And so he ran. He ran, and ran, and ran, until he was exhausted and his lungs felt like they were going to burst, but still he ran some more. And then, he suddenly realized that he was wasting his time. He’d run all this way in a perfectly straight line, and yet, it seemed, he’d been going in circles the entire time, because he’d looped back to where he started from. He growled in frustration, then, letting his fingernails grow into claws, began scratching up a nearby trash can to vent his rage.
Yeah, it was probably a bad idea to flaunt his wolfishness like this, but just as he didn’t care while clawing up the lockers at school or beating up a student to steal tickets to an event that a murderous kanima was going to be at, he didn’t much care now. He was frustrated, and he needed a release. Better that release be a dumpster than a person.
After a few minutes of this, Isaac exhausted himself and slumped against the dumpster, panting. He hated this. It wasn’t even the fact that he was trapped or in a strange place. It was the fact that there was no pack here, he had no family, and he was alone. He hated being alone.
Throwing his head back, the omega, for that was what he was if he had no pack, an omega, let out a long, lonely, desperate howl.
Then, realizing how much attention he was likely drawing to himself, he turned and ran again.
