Special Abilities:

Human Speech – Can speak with humans in any form

Shapechange (8) – Is able to transform into human or any animal form he chooses. Cost is 1 Willpower to change form.

Regrowth/Unaging – Fox is immortal, having stolen the secret from Snake, and although he does not heal as quickly as one of the changing breeds, he can recover from any wound over time, including death. To destroy him, his body would need to be burned to ashes or dissolved in acid. Only by obliterating it will he permanently die.

Soul Sense – Soul Sense allows Fox to sense the presence of the supernatural with a Perception + Occult role. With this ability he cannot only sense non-human creatures, but those who have been touched by the infernal or possess True Faith.

Spirit Travel – By spending a point of WP, Fox is able to step sideways into one of the 3 spirit worlds touching Earth: Underworld, Astral Lands, or Middle World. He must look into water in order to step over. The ability was stolen from Luna.

Role-Playing hints: Paul Renard is something of a mystery. He showed up one day at Candid and just began working behind the bar, serving drinks and chatting with both staff and patrons. No one had hired him. If anything, he hired himself, but his ease behind the bar and his people skills combined earned him a provisional job until Ash can decide whether to keep him or kick him to the curb.

Paul is a bold trickster, someone who doesn’t concern himself too much with what others think. This ability to see through every day bullshit gives him a strange Yoda like wisdom that he offers to share with anyone who asks. Of course, his lessons often come with a helping of humility . . .

History: Fox is ancient, a child of Mammoth and grandchild of the great dragon king Tyrannous. One of the last of the demigod’s who walked the garden of Eden, he claims he stole the secret of immortality from Snake allowing him to live forever. He then shared this secret with Isis during their forbidden love affair, but altered the recipe to prevent Horus from abusing the gift. He’s tricked the moon into thinking he was the first of a new race of changing breeds and learned the secret of traveling the Umbra.

He’s also a notorious liar.

Fox is one of a declining race of demigods, a trickster and explorer who has come to Phoenix for his own mercurial reasons. As a bartender Paul Renard, he can recognize the different supernatural creatures and has used this to ingratiate himself with the Candid staff and management. His goals are a mystery. For now he seems content to make friends.
