Reagan Biske

Introduced to the Broken Dagger in 2002, Biske didn't actually start play until 2003. He needed a character. Always mildly interested in werewolves, and bieng a big fat furry, Reagan Biske was the first character of Biske's to be made for the game.

Origin

Reagan Biske's name is derived from the French tale known simply as "Bisclaveret", or "The Werewolf", and shows the original intentions of the character - that is, a brave and riteous knight who happens to also be a werewolf. Deeming this "totally boring", Biske dumped the idea and completely rehauled the character to his currently cowardly, filthy state.

Despite being involved in numberous plots and suffering many injuries, Biske's pessimistic outlook and personality (if he ever had one) has changed little. A self-proclaimed coward, Biske nevertheless manages to save the day once or twice. And, much to his dismay, he has recieved no monetary rewards for doing so.

Trivia

• In spite of being a big wuss, it has been claimed that Reagan Biske has recieved the most battle-related injuries of any character still alive in the Broken Dagger.

• Number of times Biske's clothes have fallen/been ripped off: 63

• Biske's left eye was removed, and later devoured, by Audmathus.

• Biske has had his nose broken seven times since his inception - three of those instances caused by himself while drunk.

Powers

For the most part, Biske's werewolfism only alters his physical appearance and gives him great strength, endurance, and heightens his senses. Things Biske can do normally are listed as follows:

• Ability to climb rather well (aka, straight up walls and onto ceilings).
• He's much, much stronger than he looks.
• His senses of smell and hearing are rather keen.
• He's quite fast.
• He cannot get more ill than a common cold.
• Short of tearing his head off and/or using silver, he's almost impossible to kill.

The closer he is to the full moon, the more these things effect him. In the week before the full moon, his symptoms are as follows:

• His eye turns bloodshot
• He appears to suffer from an extreame bout of the flu - vomiting, fever, trouble breathing.
• He appears out-of-sorts - indeed, his personality changes drastically. He becomes more lucid and relaxed, even to the point of dangerous recklessness.
• He only -physically- transforms on the second day of the Full Moon; in the day preceeding and the day following, however, Biske is quite unstable and just as dangerous as he is when transformed.

Original Description

Nothing much is known about this man that showed up in Myrken one unremarkable day. It wasn't long until he was uncovered as a werewolf, a cruel fate that had torn his life away in a distant land nearly twenty years ago. Forced to live on the fringes of normal society since then, the man seems more dog-like than wolf; scrounging in garbage cans, begging charity, raiding chicken coops when he gets the chance. And yet when the full moon rises, his true nature is revealed.

He lives as he's always done since the sickness took him those two decades ago; a fawning, drunken, moraless, cowardly creature. And yet there are those rare instances in which he strides into danger, determined and strong - for those he has come to call friends. But even in those rare times there is doubt.

After all, who can trust a werewolf?
