(NAME WITHHELD)
Alignment: Chaotic Good.
Theme/Story Role Pinocchio. Reynard devoutly desires more traffic between the spirit world and this world, a closer union between spirits and humanity on more equal terms, but also fears detection by those spirits. Longing to be human, needing acceptance, Reynard’s need for redemption is more important to him than what is legal or what “the greater good” may be.
Information: Reynard can unneringly spot, and usually identify, other Spirits in hiding. However, he often cannot reveal this knowledge to others without giving himself away.
Expected Activity: 7+ comments/week.
Exclusive Skill: Foxform. Reynard can assume an alternate form - that of a large red fox. While in this form, he retains his normal Empowered abilities, and additionally cannot be physically restrained in any way or hindered by terrain. He is still capable of human speech as a fox. However, anyone who has heard of him can easily recognize him.
Reynard is a member of the White Company with a secret - they’re an immigrant, all right, but not from another nation. They’re a Spirit, a refugee from the Spirit World once renowned as a trickster thief, but whose antics caused too much damage. While truly sorrowful and repentant, the outrage they caused was too great to apologize for, and now they’re in hiding, quietly trying to atone (and to learn how humans work, if they have to live among them long-term). In human form, their powers are generic - enhanced strength, speed, and durability, the classic ‘tank’ superhero. There are at least a dozen in the company with similar powers.

So glad he's a fox spirit. So glad.

He bothered Melissa because he recognises her from old times. He bothered people who looked like they needed help. He bothered people because he likes them.
That's about it. :3 He considers this time well spent.
Week Two
Re: Week Two
Also Phillip tried to break into his apartment and was caught and also saw Reynard in his foxform, but Reynard/Dan was really just kind of amused and nostalgic and offered some helpful lectures on the art of fine thievery.
Week Three
no subject
week four
Week Five
no subject
He's having this attempt with Hypersonic but I don't know yet how successful he'll be.
He's telling people to spread the word as much as possible, especially since Blackhawk's confirmed for him that this is a recent change.
Plans for next week, are, uh. This is still being attempted.
no subject
Wondering if I should have more context for Reynard's Big Fuckup. Anything in particular? Huge loss of life, I assume? Is it anything immediately plot relevant?
no subject
loss of life, yes, but we didn't devise details as it isn't specifically relevant to the plot - you are more than welcome to craft an incident that works for you!
no subject
As many powers come from spirits, and the Manticore Knights receive their powers directly from the Manticore, is granting skills similar to his own abilities also something Reynard would be capable of? Is that a difficult process? Does it require more power than he actually has?
no subject
yes, yes, and no - but granting others power lessens his proportionately. the manticore is terrifying because he has empowered s hundred heroes and is still the second biggest deal on earth.
no subject
sorry i have so many questions
no subject
depends on how much he gave them, which he would be in full control of. i expect reynard could fully empower one hero and go down to about 50-60%, or could give crappy powers to as many as half a dozen people at anout trn percent each.
