==Appearance==
 
==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.

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 Shaver is a young, pure-blooded Euthoran Shapeshifter and a member of the Cult of Ustream. He is rarely seen among the Cult, but when he is, he is generally friendly (if slightly reclusive) and a bit of a delinquent. While not related by blood, he considers 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 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 is 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 is visibly younger than most members of the Cult, though he makes it clear that he is more than experienced with being on his own in the way he carries himself. He usually wears a long-sleeved, collared white shirt and dark gray or green pants, with dull green, handless arm warmers. He rarely wears shoes, though when he does they are a light gray color and not accompanied by socks. A more interesting part of his attire is a small, black leather collar around his neck with a silver ring attached to the front. He has never explained this; nobody ever really asks him about it. 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.

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.

David is highly curious by nature, and quite clever in areas that count. While it was usually hidden by his childish actions, David is an intelligent boy, with a strong sense of justice that ultimately led to his death at the hands of The Sealbreakers. When he isn't busy bothering somebody, he is surprisingly quiet and distant, and can often be seen poring through some of the older or more obscure books in the Cult Headquarters' library.

Techniques

Relationships

Cult of Ustream

David is neutral-friendly (leaning towards neutral) with almost all members of the Cult, with the following exceptions:

  • Jason Shaver: Treating each other like family, the two Shapeshifters were attached to one another despite Jason often being the target of David's antics. Jason considered himself a protector of the boy; David considered himself a friendly presence when Jason needed one most. After his return, David and Jason have grown more distant from each other.
  • Lord X-Giga-X: While he seemed to tolerate David, this human obviously didn't like him much (perhaps being a little too similar to Alexander Knight in personality and habits) and treated the young Shapeshifter with annoyance. Despite this, though, Lord X-Giga-X never actually attempted to hurt him, only teleporting him away when David got particularly annoying. They have not interacted since David's return.

History

David was born, apparently, 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.
