big_bad_sheriff: (Default)
CHARACTER NAME: Bigby Wolf
CHARACTER SERIES: Fables

[OOC]
Backtagging: Yes
Threadhopping: Yes
Fourthwalling: Kind of? Bigby's aware that mundies have fairytales about himself and other Fables, so he won't be terribly surprised if you've heard of him. If you want to tell him that he specifically is from a comic book series (or videogame), please don't.
Offensive subjects: Can't think of any but will edit if that changes.

[IC]
Hugging this character: If he knows you, sure.
Kissing this character: Only if he's been open to your flirting before.
Flirting with this character: You are welcome to try, but he probably won't reciprocate.
Fighting with this character: Yes! Please discuss it with me first.
Injuring this character: Discuss it with me first, but I am okay with most injuries.
Killing this character: No thank you.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Certainly. Bigby's thought patterns are not human in any way, shape, or form, so expect to get the same sort of emotions/feelings you'd get from a sentient wolf.

Warnings: Bigby is the actual Big Bad Wolf from fairytales. He has eaten people before. It's not even remotely in his plans to eat anyone now, as he's trying to turn over a new leaf, but that does exist in his backstory.

big_bad_sheriff: (The Big Bad Wolf)
If nothing else, discovering this Nexus place has given Sheriff Bigby Wolf one very important outlet. Surrounded all day by the sounds and smells of New York City, it's easy to be homesick for the endless forests and plains of the Homelands, where he once roamed and hunted without challenge. He never forgets what he truly is, but it's difficult to be a wolf in the city.

But not here.

Outside the town-like area near the entryway, there's a huge sprawling forest and wild woods. It doesn't quite smell like home, but it's a hell of a lot closer than Fabletown and its mundy smells. The massive wolf stands on a hill and just inhales, taking in all the natural scents of a good, clean wilderness. No corruption, no pollution, just plants and wild animals, water and earth, and sunlight breaking through the trees. A faint breeze stirs the air, and he follows it with his other senses, learning what it's come to tell him. Tasting the scents on the wind.

The Big Bad Wolf begins to run, not towards trouble, but just for the sheer joy of running and feeling the grass beneath his enormous paws.
big_bad_sheriff: (The Big Bad Wolf)
Name: Bigby Wolf
Alias: The Big Bad Wolf
Age: Thousands of years old, exact age unknown
Species: Half wolf, half wind spirit

Powers: Ability to shapeshift between man, wolf, and partway in between, though his clothes do not transform with him. In wolf form, he can blow with enough force to clear an entire city street or knock down a forest, and the local winds will obey his wishes for a short time. Near-immortality, fast healing, lack of aging, enhanced senses (especially smell and hearing). He also exhibits strength beyond the normal limits of a regular human being. He would have access to other wind powers like shapeshifting and flight, but he refused to learn as a cub out of hatred for his father, and still refuses to rectify that gap in his training.

Appearance: When in human shape, Bigby takes the form of a medium-frame forty-ish year old man with brown eyes and mussed brown hair, and perpetual stubble that grows back in hours if shaved off. His usual wardrobe consists of dark slacks, a white button-down shirt, a loosely tied black tie, and black wingtip shoes, although his outfit constantly looks as though he's slept in it for several nights, which would often be the case if he got sleep regularly.

In manwolf form, Bigby's entire body is covered in dark fur, his beard grows out, and his eyes turn yellow (or red, if he's exceptionally angry). His ears become pointed and his teeth become fangs, while his fingernails and toenails are replaced by sharp claws. This form is significantly taller and bulkier than his human form.

In wolf form, Bigby takes the shape of an enormous black and gray wolf, comparable in size to a large truck. Aside from his size, he appears to be an ordinary wolf with no other distinguishing features. Until he talks, anyway.

Personality: Bigby is often gruff, though he has surprising patience and a desire to see his people safe. It doesn't bother him that people still don't trust him after what he's done, even though it was all pre-amnesty, since he knows they have good reason to be scared. He's sharp and observant, and often pursues his own line of investigation without telling anyone else what he's up to, even when he knows that he's correct. He's mostly professional at his job, not wanting to complicate his working relationship with Snow White because of his feelings for her, although he is also known to pull some sneaky underhanded moves to spend time with her.

He chain-smokes to dull his senses to the city around him, because otherwise all the myriad scents would drive him mad. He uses alcohol, usually whiskey, as a way to help keep himself in human form when provoked too far, although he can't actually get drunk. Bigby is an unrepentant carnivore, eating only meat whenever he does eat. He lives a very spartan lifestyle, taking up residence in the smallest apartment in the Woodlands building, and sleeps in his only chair as he does not own a bed. He has never learned how to drive a car and must either walk everywhere or take a cab. He is afraid of heights, saying that wolves are meant to live on the ground, though he has no problem facing that fear if the situation calls for it. He's never used a gun, preferring to rely on his wolf abilities instead. Though he usually walks around in human form, he does not think of himself as one in any way.
