Game Summary:

Ryslig is a panfandom game with a focus on transformation and body horror. Characters wash up from the ocean onto the Ryslig Peninsula, an alternate universe world with technology that corresponds roughly to the 1950s, and begin turning into monsters about two months after their arrival (the first wave of arrivals began their transformations after only one month; complete transformations take up to four months to finish). There are three gods known to the locals. The day god and the night god are forces for good that (according to tradition) work together against the devil-like fog god. While the day and night gods don't seem to be active forces in the lives of those on the peninsula, the fog god appears to be responsible for bringing the PCs to Ryslig and can also be inferred to be responsible for their transformations. Its powers are linked to the thick fog that rolls in off the sea at irregular intervals; it's during fog times that new characters arrive, transformations intensify, and other supernatural events occur. The fog god brought the characters to the peninsula for the purpose of killing a fourth god whose identity is unknown but who has communicated to the player characters via their network devices. The unknown god and the fog god vie for the loyalty of the player characters, each god pushing the characters to kill the other.

History of Character in their Game:

Peter arrived in the city of Vandare with the first group of newcomers to be fished out of the ocean covered in injuries and lacking any memory of how they had come to a strange land. At that time, none of the newcomers knew what was to become of them. They knew only that the people of Vandare had never heard of the places from which they had come, and vice versa. Peter, suffering from alcohol withdrawal, threw himself on the mercy of the church of the Day God, and was able to get housing, clothing, and a little bit of money until he was able to start supporting himself by performing magic and knife-throwing in various bars and clubs. He grudgingly became friends (ish) with several other newcomers (including Dr. McCoy, Ginko, Flash, Jeff, and Heather) despite their mad claims about the worlds from which they came, and spent much of his time (when not aggravating various other newcomers) researching the history (supernatural and otherwise) of the local culture in search of clues as to how and why they had been brought to the place. Sinister events began to occur; a supernatural fog caused all of the locals to fall unconscious in the streets for three days on end, and the mayor of Vandare sent a large number of the newcomers into the woods on what was later revealed to be an impossible mission (and likely a suicide mission), where some of them encountered a creature with the head of a horse who called himself Tikbalang. Peter had been too much of a coward had the sense to remain in town, but heard about what happened in the woods from multiple sources. It was at this time that he and Ginko began to suspect that the newcomers were under some kind of spell or curse put on them by the Fog God.

When the fog returned later that month, Peter was one of many newcomers to begin a painful, horrifying transformation. His eye teeth fell out to be replaced by fangs, his heart stopped, and he gained a painful sensitivity to daylight and a ravenous craving for meat. Fearing that he was becoming a vampire despite the odd symptom out, Peter threw himself into further research and began questioning other newcomers to learn more about what they were becoming and why. Unable to find an answer, he allowed himself to be distracted by the opening of the neighboring city of Bavan to newcomers, and was soon disabused of his vampire theory when he abruptly grew a pair of antlers.

Peter returned to Vandare when news hit that another batch of newcomers had been pulled out of the ocean. The trip was largely fruitless; while he met a number of new people as diverse as the group with which he had arrived, Peter didn't learn anything of particular use. The fog came in again and any hope Peter might have had of passing for human (had he gotten rid of the antlers) vanished when he underwent a final transformation into a wendigo. After feeding on human flesh from the graveyard, he ran away from the city and spent a week in the woods living as a feral creature and eating various woodland animals. He returned in time for a local, Doctor Zaroff Rainsford, to invite the transformed newcomers to his island facilities, where he promised to attempt to help them. Unfortunately for the newcomers, Rainsford was actually a mad worshipper of the Fog God. After running a number of medical tests on the newcomers and giving them a (drugged) dinner and a comfortable place to sleep, he and his employees moved the various monsters who had accepted his invitation to a labyrinthine system of caverns below his home. The group with whom Peter awoke succeeded in killing one of Rainsford's hunters, but when they encountered Rainsford himself, the doctor killed Peter with a silver bullet.*

Peter reappeared in Vandare with no explanation as to how or why he had come back to life and been transported back to the mainland just as festivities began for a feast day devoted to the Fog God. During the holiday, Peter became trapped in a hitherto unknown underground realm of the fourth, unknown god, who commanded each newcomer who arrived in it to pledge themselves to him by spilling blood. Peter instead attempted to rescue the locals trapped down there with the various monsters, only for a shade named Sandrath to trick him into accidentally injuring one of said locals, thereby unwillingly pledging himself to the unknown god. Having lost all the resources previously available to him apart from his network communication device, and having become impervious to cold and endlessly hungry, Peter lived as a homeless scavenger once he was released back to the surface world, holing up wherever he could during the day and roaming Vandare at night in search of food. At this time he began to eat out of the garbage on a regular basis, though his cravings for human flesh became continually sharper. When a strange old man offered to trade him a pickled human hand (two hands, when Peter pushed back) for his antlers, Peter leaped on the opportunity to sate his cravings without resorting to murder despite the implications regarding the fates of the hands' previous owners, and allowed the man to saw his antlers off.

Though he knew it was the Fog God that had transformed him, Peter's pledge to the unknown god (who was revealed to be a former human named Elias) filled him with resentment, and he began plotting (albeit not very coherently) to attempt to kill both gods. When the opportunity arose to either kill Elias or to free him from where he was imprisoned and unleash his full power, Peter ventured into the underground labyrinth where the god was being kept with the intention of killing him before he could be freed. He encountered a shade named Stocke; while Stocke was also unwilling to set Elias free, he refused to allow Peter to attempt to kill him. Peter was last seen trapped in a hallucinatory post-apocalyptic version of Las Vegas.

How did they change from their canon personality wise (Please explain what caused it to happen?)

Peter was always full of self loathing, but it used to be balanced out, in a way, by his narcissism. While he's still very self-centered, he no longer has his pride and is revolted by the flesh-eating thing he has become. He remains mostly unwilling to hurt others and more or less compelled to defend the helpless when push comes to shove, but has eaten human flesh on multiple occasions, even when it very likely came from a murder victim. He's become a more desperate person in general, willing to do what it takes to survive even when it means eating out of the garbage or deliberately failing to question where his human-based food came from. His half-baked scheme to kill Elias, too, was a case of hopelessly lashing out at a being that (while likely evil) ultimately was not responsible for Peter's suffering.

How did they change from their canon physically (Please explain what caused it to happen?):

Peter started the game as a human man, but by the end of his tenure had become a wendigo thanks to a curse laid on him (as with all the newcomers) by the Fog God. He is an undead creature, half man and half deer, with antlers, fangs, claws, and insatiable hunger (meat is the only food he is willing and able to eat). He must eat human flesh on at least a monthly basis or risk going mad and attacking the first person he sees. He is extremely sensitive to light and heat (too much time spent in a warm place will cause an outbreak of necrotic flesh). Prior to his entry to the Meadous, his antlers have been sawed off. Full information on transformation and powers.

Powers:

Peter is completely impervious to the cold, and has very keen animal senses. He also possesses the ability to transform into a fallow deer at will, though his clothes don't transform with him.

Possessions:

Peter owns a purse messenger bag with a defunct rsdos (a sort of laptop/network device) inside, and the tattered clothes on his back.

Please provide three samples from your previous game, at least one will have to be third person with context:
Sample One: if youre really a vampire why would you want to HELP us? (Network)
Sample Two: "I didn't stop to grab my wallet when I grew hooves and ran off into the night, sorry." (Log)
Sample Three: I can tell you what you've got -- a wendigo who isn't eating you. Yet." (Log)

Notes: Anything else?
*Peter's death was planned and then handwaved due to his assigned group and the event-runner being unable to tag the thread to completion.
