Wyck/Gear

The Satchel

Wyck is constantly seen with his canvas satchel - whether he was on the road or now that he's in town. Being a consummate nomad, his satchel holds everything he would need for life, work or the occasional adventure.

What's in Wyck's Satchel you might ask[1]?

His canvas satchel has been with him for years. Originally it looked like the bag to the right - but over time it was 'decorated' and personalized with a black, sharpy marker and given all sorts of odd bits of symbols and such here and there.

One of his prized possessions and something that he's not often without is the hunting knife that he was given by his grandfather before he left Louisiana. The hunting knife is usually kept bound in its sheath until he needs it - and is not just for defense. He's used it for all manner of things over the years - from breaking into buildings, digging up roots and even minor surgery.

Since he's usually sketching something - drawing, writing or otherwise being 'scribal', he usually carries a small, 'field' journal in his satchel for all the odds and ends that creep up. His journal holds everything from sketches of people, maps of the city, things he over hears from one person or another as well as to-do lists, phone numbers and the like. It's literally a catch-all for everything he needs. Every once and a while he might actually let people see into its covers but its difficult to interpret his shorthand.

His Tarot Deck was a gift from a group of 'Street Gypsies' he met in Los Angeles. The deck, an old Rider-Waithe deck that has been around forever, is something that he keeps in case he needs to brew up a bit of witchy-poo vibe with people. They can ignore the malachite egg but when people see the Tarot they immediately start thinking that he can see the future and fly on a broom stick.

An old military-issue flashlight with ever-full batteries is something that he's found quite handy. Even if he could probably see at night - he would still need something to signal people or illuminate something so that everyone -else- could see it as well.

An old zippo that his granddad carried for years. The zippo has a hart-shape scratched into one side and looks like it has been through a fire; which it had according to his grandfather.
