Name: Bjorn 'hoek' Jansen

Deed Name: Hoektandbreker (lit: corner tooth breaker, fig: fang splitter)

First Change:

Bjorn's first change came late in life. He had already finished an oldschool five year guild apprenticeship as a farrier and then blacksmith, and gone back to Amsterdam to his family where he took up a third-tier pack position as support. Everyone was surprised at his Full Moon first change, none more than his mother. It was only with the grace of Father wolf, in her infinite wisdom, that the First Change happened while they were camping in the countryside.

Age: 28

Pack: Otomo

Nicknames/Aliases: Hoek

Appearance: 6' blue eyes, very long blond hair (viking plait), long beard (viking plait). Either leather jacket wearing or leather apron wearing.

Notable Traits: Amidst the death metal band badges sewn on to his leather jacket, there is a big shiny rhinestone that his little sister attached during that phase. You **definitely** have *never* seen him fret about it if it falls off during a fight and diligently replace it. There is also, in pride of place, a rainbow badge with a unicorn.

Bjorn wouldn't call himself "flamboyantly gay" because he just thinks of himself as a man who digs other men. But, and he probably wouldn't understand it so you can say it to him all you like, he's incredibly camp.

You know Bjorn thinks of you as family if he makes you Electrum Jewellery. He works the silver as an act of votive sacrifice.

Renown deed synopses

For those that see Bjorn's Renown:

Purity

Purity 1: Born under the Full Moon
Purity 2: He fasted for a month (while not on the hunt) to balance the books. There is a sense of penance and rightness to it.
Purity 3: Fought two Gauru form werewolves in Urshul. Because he couldn't risk killing them. He was a Rahu. They weren't.
Purity 4: Risked his life to save his mate. Nearly died twice. Refrained from using Kuruth as a weapon, against his nature, because it would have threatened the life of an Urdaga. Held himself back in combat because Rahu can easily kill other Forsaken. Doing so nearly killed him.

Wisdom

Wisdom 1: Discovered and leveraged the ban of a spirit
Wisdom 2: Understood the Fetish Rite. Not just learning it. Understanding it.

Cunning

Cunning 1: Passed his tribal initiation. It was obviously a test that warrented it.

Honor

Honor 1: Presented himself to a neutral Elodoth for Judgement on a matter of honor.

There are full stories behind each of these, of course. Bjorn is generally reluctant to tell them.
