How would you emulate this character from Scarlet Hollow (SPOILERS)
SPOILERS FOR SCARLET HOLLOW
The character is Reese Kelly, son of only doctor in Scarlet Hollow, smal mining town in Appalachian Mountains where the game takes place. Been trying to figure out what he'd be in WoD, here is a list of possibly relevant facts, unmarked spoilers for the game, which I highly recommend btw:
- Reese was conceived by some unspecified entity that would visit Dr. Kelly in her dreams
- At the age of twelve he started transforming into a monster when agitated. Fear of what he could do prompted his mother to start poisoning him, first with Klonopin, then with ricin, this didn't kill him for around a decade but kept his body in so weak and damaged state, he was unable to transform.
- It is very much stated by Dr. Kelly that his tranformations are unaffected by full Moon and he has no reaction to silver, she directly dismisses the idea of him being a werewolf, at least not the popular fictional type.
- He has two transformed forms. In one he is slightly taller, his face has light animalistic featurs - sharp teeth, cat-like eyes - and elf-like ears, and he has a tail. In other form he is much bigger and displays traits of several animals, with comparisons being drawn to horses, lizards, bats and even extinct Hell Pig.
- After transforming, he is able to survive shotgun blast to the face and hit from bear tranquilizer, but he falls to a hit from elephant tranquilizer. He seems to possess regenerative abilities, but can die from multiple shotgun shots and his body can be destroyed by fire. If slain he does not revert to human form.
- While transformed he is able to bring his paintings to life as living paint creatures that obey his commands, seemingly even subconcious ones.
- He seems instinctively afraid of Sam Wayne (guy with veil on his head fighting him in one of the pictures), sensing something horribly wrong with him. From what we can tell so far, Wayne appears to be a dead body hosting some sort of eldritch entity, I would guess in WoD terms closest thing to Wayne would be some sort of Fomor.
- His regenerative abilities are not strong enough to heal some sort of damage Wayne does to his shoulder, at least not instantly, and he seems to be hurt there even a day after.
I was thinking some sort of Fera, but he is clearly nto a Garou. Maybe a weird Fomor or a Changeling?
