1.  Appearance

1.1  Essentials

Basics

Narcisse's coat is a mixture of browns, reds, and oranges, highlighted with a bit of beige around his throat, front paws, face, and lips. His eyes are a murky green - similar to the fungus that floats on the surface of the water in the Louisiana swamps. Narcisse's body is sturdy. He has thick muscles on his arms and legs, fit for a shaman that likes to travel.

He often wears a rag tied around his head on hot days - to keep the sun off of his dark fur. He tucks what little hair he allows himself inside of it, and the du-rag is one way to keep it out of his face when he's preparing voodoo concoctions and working on his shack. His neck and wrists are adorned with jewelry made of bones and teeth from other luperci - usually his enemies. Sometimes, a necklace of dried ears and tongues is added when he needs to do an important spell later on that day.

Trope1 · Trope2 · Trope3

THE GOOD

  • Charming.

THE UGLY

  • Promiscuous. He's quite open to the idea of casual sex with multiple partners, no matter the gender or species. Thanks to his charm and exotic appearance, being a womanizer has often led to the wolf getting his way, and can be counted as a strength.

2.1  Traits

Expression

  • Outlook: Optimistic.

Sexuality

Despite his family urging for his practice to lead to helpful and selfless advancements, Narcisse often attempts to use his black magic in more negative ways.

Substances

The Creole male isn't against testing the waters, including trying drugs or alcohol. He is actually quite fond of having a drink from time to time, and will likely be eager to trade items, information, or even sex for alcohol. Narcisse will engage in hallucinogens for spirit journeys.
