Character Description

Somewhere in his mid to late 20's, a few inches over six feet tall with a willowy, athletic physique, Hamish keeps his auburn hair short enough and styled for business standards, with just enough length to reach his eyes and show a little curl at ears and neck. His eyes are a light sky blue and set over high cheekbones and a straight nose dusted in freckles, occasionally with a pair of thin, gold rimmed glasses perched there. His complexion is on the pale side and he has a seemingly endless supply of charming smiles. He takes care of his appearance and cares about how he looks day to day, always clean and well groomed with a hint of some fine smelling perfume oil.
Fashion-wise, Hamish tends towards the expensive, designer and tailored, often going for suits or a business-casual look, with a touch of colorful flare. That said, he has a real thing for playing dress-up and is likely to dress appropriately for any occasion or venue. He has no piercings and doesn't wear much in the way of visible jewelry outside of some expensive watch on his wrist. He does have a prominent tattoo of a bat's face under a moon spanning the front of his throat. Its large ears sweep up under the line of his jaw towards his ears, its vicious face over his light Adam's Apple with fangs and forked tongue running down his trachea. It disappears completely at times by the cunning application of makeup.
'Hamish is under the effects of the Gift: Ubermensch Humans dealing with the character will immediately pick him out as more desirable, attractive, smarter or more charismatic compared to those around them, regardless of their actual capacity in such matters. The Curse still applies, but rather than being instinctively feared as a predator, the werewolf is dreaded as an intimidating figure of great presence.' Depending on what you are, this might apply during RP.

RP Hooks
Food!: Hamish LOVES food! Restaurants, cafes, food trucks, hitchhikers that no one will miss, he's bound to be found anywhere that serves eatable things. There's no time when he is without something to eat.

Living To Excess: Devoted to the Eater of Souls, and a follower of Vorus the Urge Wyrm of Greed, Hamish is all about excess and gluttony. Food, drink, drugs, roller coasters, sex, shopping, having, getting, consuming, gimme gimme gimme!

Evil: Let's face it, Hamish is a dyed in the wool monster, though while he is completely bat shit insane and gleefully murderous, he's not a slavering beast. He enjoys good conversation, meeting people, new experiences of all kinds and just plain being social. Refinement and civility is important to him. Would Hannibal Lecter have been an annoying jackass in public? No sir! He's not too good to get his hands dirty, but he is made to be out there on the grid and interacting with the populace in non-annoying ways.


Alternate Identity 5: Hamish has an extremely solid alternate identity as Doctor James Crane, psychiatrist, specializing in child psychology and mental health. Licensed to practice in the state of California, he has excellent references from residency and internships that he's never actually had or done. He is currently practicing at Trinity Hospital in Prospect, a psychiatric facility specializing in children and adolescents, and due to being an evil bastard, runs the place.

(Hail) Hydra: Formerly the head Nanny of the Shattered Souls Pit, Hamish ate the Eater of Souls head, and has claimed her place as a head of the Hydra. While no longer a Nanny, he is a member of Generation Hex, so he still places importance on helping kinfolk and cubs. He uses his practice at Trinity to track down pre-change cubs, kinfolk, likely bane hosts, and whatever else happens to helplessly cross his path in there. As a Hexer, he also controls a small private school, Edgefield School for Gifted Children, which acts as another teaching and recruitment point for the Wyrm by way of selective admissions, preparing kinfolk for infiltration into various social circles, and grooming future Fomori.

Business Owner: He owns a farm in Prospect, McClure Acres, which houses his BSD kinfolk and does business in pigs, GMO Wyrm cannabis, 'organic' fruits and veg, body disposal, and various deep web activities. Under his alias, Dr. Crane, he also owns Alanna's Flower Shop and Bike-by-Knight Couriers.


Disclaimer: Okay a couple things I'd like to make a note of: While I'm playing in an antagonist sphere, I'm playing for story, not for kill count, and PK is not on my to-do list. Second, I have alts, they're Gaian, and there's attention paid here to not having alt-conflict and not crossing lines there. They're doing Gaian things, Hamish is doing Wyrm things, and I'm just gonna do my best to make sure none of those intersect without a really good reason.

Other Disclaimer: TS: ICly, Hamish is a big ol' man-slut. OOCly, the player's not interested, sorry.

Other Other Disclaimer: Bat: As a follower of Bat, he's fanatical about Veil preservation. Not that he can't have fun, but there can be no evidence of the supernatural at all, and he's fairly hostile towards blatant veil breakers.

Choice Cuts and Quotes

You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig."
