Bobby Blake

Bobby| 17| November 2| Male| Werewolf
Student| High School| 11

Bobby is a rather plain looking young man with a slight build and neck length brown hair. His eyes are probably the most remarkable thing about him, being light blue in color. He has a nasty looking scar on the back of his right shoulder that looks suspiciously like some kind of animal bite.

Bobby dresses like he stepped out of a speakeasy; slacks and button up shirts, ascots and bolo ties, loafers and brogues. He also tends to carry his guitar, a powder blue electric Jazz bass he named Diana, around in a case along with a belt clip amp so he can play wherever.

Bobby is an excitable young man. A crowd pleaser, he's sociable and extroverted. He loves music and cooking and could talk about both for hours if he were allowed. Bobby is a dreamer with no real plan for the future, but he doesn't seem to be bothered by the looming specter of adulthood.

His outwardly friendly demeanor Bobby is actually really self conscious about his place in the world. He's scared of what he might do if he ever made it back out into the Narrow Reality when his werewolf side comes out. He's also jealous of those who got "better" versions of lycanthropy, especially the ones who can shift at will rather than at the whim of the moon. He's bummed that at this point it seems like his aspirations of being a well known musician are down the drain, since for all anyone who knew him knows he's dead.

Werewolf
Bobby was bitten by a werewolf and contracted the curse of lycanthropy as a result. Most of the time, he is effectively human, not even smelling odd to those with supernatural senses. Despite seeming entirely human when the moon is not full, he still exhibits the weakness to silver outlined below.

During the night before, of, and after the full moon however he transforms into a large wolf-like beast. In this form he is strong enough to rend steel bars and bite through thick wooden beams. However he is also inhumanly violent and wild when the moon takes him. His bite can infect others with the curse

In his werewolf form, Bobby cannot be harmed by normal weaponry as he regenerates through the damage quickly. However any object made of silver burns on contact with his skin and will not heal. Silver in his bloodstream is like poison and if not removed quickly he will die. Interestingly, Bobby cannot cross onto hallowed ground in his werewolf form.

Of note, Bobby's transformation cannot be stopped. However, if someone who truly cares for and trusts him interposes themselves in front of his werewolf form, he will revert.

"The first change is the worst."

Those were the first words Bobby heard waking up naked in the woods, miles away from his home. They came from a man hefting a rifle over this shoulder, gnarled and scarred. The man explained what had happened to the boy. Bitten by a werewolf. Changed into one of them. He explained the curse as best he could to Bobby, gave him a change of clothes, and before he left pressed a glass bottle into his hand.

"Wolfsbane. Say goodbye to your family. Make your peace with God. But drink this before night comes and you change again or I will find you and put you down."

Bobby went home, totally unsure of himself. The old man must have been crazy. But something gnawed at the back of his mind, and so he kept quiet about the encounter to his parents. They were just relieved to have their son back. Their relief turned to horror when that night he changed and mauled his mother before his father stepped in and forced the change to revert.

He couldn't deny it now. The old man would be coming for him soon enough. His mother ended up in the hospital and Bobby was hidden away under the house. Locked in the basement anytime his change would happen. His father didn't care about an education or anything for Bobby. He just wanted his son to live.

The Scouts came because they thought Bobby was being held against his will. When the school was explained to his parents, they excitedly decided to move their family to Manta Carlos.
