+1 shitty werewolf +1 probationary super hero

[hopecanruinyou]

what's up hadriel, it's mel and this time i'm bringing in thom creed from perry moore's novel hero and clifford norman from the webcomic wilde life

.

thom is a probationary super hero who spends a whole lot of time in his head and as a result doesn't have all that great of a grasp on reality. basically he's a kid who tries hard to do the right thing, but manages to fall short all too often and is singularly talented at sticking his foot in his mouth and making an awkward situation even worse.

on the other hand he's got the ability to heal people with a touch, so that will probably come in handy, right?

cliff isn't actually technically a werewolf, but even he doesn't actually know what he is yet, so that's what we'll go with for now. he's also a completely shitty individual that smokes, drinks, steals, and really really doesn't like being touched.

he enjoys bbq, stealing people's hoodies, playing go fish with ghosts, and long runs in the woods as a giant fucking wolf.

as always you can find me on plurk at spotters_guide, i'm ready to plot and play!

to be honest, cliff can actually talk just fine in his wolf form too, so getting a feel for his thoughts isn't even necessary.

and ACTUALLY, okay so here's the real deal with cliff and his wolf self. he's not actually a werewolf, he's an "animal person" from native american mythology. what this means is that he's not affected by silver, not affected by the full moon, and can honestly change into his wolf form whenever he wants.

if he does choose to change, the change is instantaneous, because he's not actually changing shape he's just temporarily inhabiting his wolf body instead. both bodies exist at any given time, whether he's "wearing" the body or not and, honestly, between himself and a werewolf he's probably far more genuine wolf despite the fact that his consciousness never shifts.

so while cliff wouldn't actually possess "animalistic" thoughts for amos to get a read on, the wolf exists in/on/through/etc him at any given time and amos is more than free to read that on him, however his powers would apply to do so.

Aaaaah, that's so interesting! :D

If that's so, then Amos will probably at most be able to get a vague "sense" of "wolf" from Cliff, but not be able to directly communicate with him. Amos's ability is limited to regular animals only, not "magic" animals.

He'll be very chill about it, though, once he figures out Cliff isn't likely to munch on him.

very unlikely to munch, cliff prefers bbq to people, thanks

Most excellent. :3 I look forward to playing with you again! (Though I'm not sure if we ever threaded much together in Box...)

[fervence]

we threaded a lot back when i actually had the time to be active in box, we started the tradition of rook throwing things at my character's heads to introduce himself
