 ==History==
-David was born, in the northern reaches of [[Seotara]], in a region of the country known as the Dragon's Claw. How he found his way to [[Ustream]] is unknown, though Jason was told that the young Shapeshifter left home in search of a few particular enchanted staves- the most notable being the one he found, the Rainstick. After a couple of run-ins and a hunting run, Jason offered to let David stay at Cult Headquarters; David initially refused, but was injured a couple of days later and was more or less forced to HQ to get his wounds healed. After this, David allowed that he would treat HQ as a home base of sorts and stay there every so often to regain his bearings, but otherwise would continue to wander.

 David developed an interest in magic- more specifically, enchanting- during his early teens. While Aeilis would indulge him with books on the subject- which David went through very quickly- she expressed disagreement with him attempting to practice it, to the point where she forbade it entirely when he was found trying to steal an enchanted piece of a merchant's stock. This resulted in occasional arguments on the subject for a couple of years, as Aeilis grew older and less able to keep up with her overeager pet. David would occasionally wander out at night to sneak into the enchantment merchant's shop, looking at and testing the items until he was about to be discovered and would run out again.
-One night he was caught, and delivered to Aeilis's home by the merchant in the morning. When David was in the house and the merchant had left, the two held a fierce argument that ultimately ended in David losing his temper, transforming into his Chii-Ranu form, and pinning Aeilis under her back claw so that he could make himself heard without being interrupted. This was done without thinking and in the heat of the moment, and the second David registered his action he removed his paw, turned back into his human form, and tried to make sure Aeilis was alright. The weight and momentum of his Chii-Ranu form, combined with the unexpectedness of the transformation, had caused Aeilis to impact her head on the edge of the fireplace, ultimately knocking her out and causing internal damage.

 Sensing that there was little more he could do on his own and that Aeilis would likely die without care, David ran back to the enchantment merchant, who refused to let him in. After several minutes of arguing, it was only after David repeated "Aeilis is hurt!" several times in a row so the merchant would listen to him that David was allowed inside to grab a staff he'd learned the function of quickly- the ability to make it rain certain things, and he had found that it could create a healing rain. Running back home, he reached Aeilis's side to find that it was too late to do anything for her.

-'''David Shaver''', now deceased, was a young, pure-blooded [[Euthora]]n [[Shapeshifter]] and a member of the [[Cult of Ustream (Group)|Cult of Ustream]]. He was rarely seen among the Cult, but when he was, he was generally friendly (if slightly reclusive) and a bit of a delinquent. While not related by blood, he considered [[Jason Shaver]] his older brother after the other Shapeshifter took him in and gave him a place to stay when he needed it most. The feeling was definitely mutual; Jason was greatly affected upon hearing of the boy's death, as much as he tried to hide it.

The feeling is definitely mutual; Jason was greatly affected upon hearing of the boy's death, as much as he tried to hide it. That being said, when David returned without explanation, the two became distant for no definable reason.
 ==Appearance==
-David was a thin, somewhat short boy with a wiry frame, at least in his human form. With pale blue eyes and light brown hair that could almost be considered a dirty blond, he was visibly younger than most members of the Cult, though he made it clear that he was more than experienced with being on his own in the way he carried himself. He usually wore a long-sleeved, collared white shirt and dark gray or green pants, with dull green, handless arm warmers. He rarely wore shoes, though when he did they were a light gray color and not accompanied by socks. A more interesting part of his attire was a small, black leather collar around his neck with a silver ring attached to the front. He never explained this; nobody ever really asked him about it. Though easily removable, it remained around his neck in his animal forms, which were light brown with bright blue eyes.

Though easily removable, it remains around his neck in his animal forms, which are light brown with bright blue eyes.
 ==Personality==
 David was best known for being an aloof, yet friendly, prankster. The most common targets of his antics were the two highest-ranking members of the Cult when he was still alive: Jason himself and [[Lord X-Giga-X]]. While he could be annoying at times, he was tolerated, possibly due to his young age, his ties with Jason, and the fact that he was almost never around to begin with. This last fact never stopped him from leaving for long periods of time, just to return for a few days and be exasperated at the trouble the Cult managed to get into when he was away.
-David was highly curious by nature, and quite clever in areas that counted. While it was usually hidden by his childish actions, David was an intelligent boy, with a strong sense of justice that ultimately led to his death at the hands of [[The Sealbreakers]]. When he wasn't busy bothering somebody, he was surprisingly quiet and distant, and could often be seen poring through some of the older or more obscure books in the [[Cult Headquarters]]' library.
+This changes completely after his return. Now more quiet and reserved, David is rarely at the Cult's headquarters- and when he is, he usually holes himself up in the library, or brings a book or two to meetings Jason won't let him skip. If asked, he simply explains that he's looking for something; however, he doesn't elaborate, and his tone makes it seem like he doesn't want to.

The only apparent effect of the enchantment was to make it "rain" large quantities of a random object, whether it be stones or water or mice.

 ==Combat==
-The Cult itself never actually saw David fight, though it is known that he was fully capable of defending himself, at least in the wild. As a Shapeshifter, he tended to prefer melee-style combat in his animal forms, although his enchanted staff (detailed below) was used more often, for ranged combat. David considered himself an inexperienced mage, though he was unable to use magic, having never trained in it before his death.
