Real name: Tommy
Age: 17 and 3/4 ^_^
Bio: Tommy grew up in a cramped apartment in a dodgy area of St Louis. As a kid, he enjoyed playing out at the local park, and running round like a proper little street urchin.
When he was 6, he stayed out playing in the park until long after it had gone dark, knowing his mother was out drinking and couldn't make a fuss if he got back late. On his way home, he stumbled upon a newly turned weretiger, who'd changed for the first time. Terrified, Tommy pegged it back up to his apartment, but not before the lycanthrope had scratched all up his back, passing the disease to him.
As a 6 year old, he didn't really understand what had happened, but babbled the whole story out to his mother when she got home and sobered up. Fearing that if anyone would found out, her son would be taken from her on the grounds of neglectful parenting, his mother didn't seek help from any local pard, or seek out any local weretigers to help her son learn to control his lycanthropy.
Every full moon, she'd simply lock him in their flat, and not return until well after midday the next day.
Strange as this arrangement may sound, Tommy was completely happy with it. He was now stronger and faster than all the other children, and didn't get sick like them anymore. (Which was a definite bonus, as he'd always been a skinny kid, often sickly) He even liked the part about turning into a tiger. Once a month he was just like the tiger in Aladdin; Raja, and insisted on adopting that nickname from then on.
His mother has recently been taken into a rehab center, and their scabby flat allocated to someone else. He is now all alone in the world with his lycanthropy, which he still keeps a secret. Despite spending so much time out on the streets by himself, Raja is very innocent and rather naive, though kind-hearted and well-meaning.
