About Tangris Bjornsson

Tangris Bjornsson grew up different. Not just different from his eight brothers and sisters, who were Nordic to their core: tall, blond and fair, where he was small, curly haired and dark. Not just different in temperament: they were bright and happy while he was prone to anger and laziness. Different in that, when the moon was full, he turned into a goat.

A goat.

Not a wolf, not a tiger, not a bear: a goat.

Of course he knew he was adopted, that was never hidden from him or spoken of with shame. His adopted father told him of his true heritage when he was 13 and the change first came upon him, that he was a foundling, a descendent of the goats that pulled Thor's chariot, the blood of heroes, 'gifted' with the ability to change between forms.

Of course, one of those forms was a foot shorter than his smallest sister and the other was a goat.

Tangris was not amused.

He left for college as soon as he could, choosing a school as far from the Nords as he could, attending Florida State and studying engineering. He lasted until his Junior year, when he told his parents that he was going to seek his ancestral homeland and learn of his heritage. The truth was he wanted to bum around Europe and drink and smoke exotic weeds. But the Parents were thrilled by this sudden embrace of his heritage, so they even bought him a round trip ticket with an open return date and an year's worth of Eurail passes. Not bad, Tangris thought.

He spent the past six months slumping around Europe, finally ending up in York, slightly stoned and definitely low on funds.

Physically Tangris is small and stout, about 5' 5" if he stretches and 150 lbs of lean muscle. He has dark eyes and short black curly hair, which truth to tell, covers about 75% of his body. He's strong and tough, always willing to let his fist lead the conversation. Luckily while he's quick to anger, he's quick to forget, too. Even more luckily, he's got a certain charm with the ladies, possibly owing to his, um, manly gifts.

Name: Tangris Bjornsson
Player: James Martin
Template: Were-Form
Musts: Were-Goat in High Concept
High Concept: Were-Goat Slacker
Trouble Aspect: Tilting at Windmills

Phase One Aspect: Never Comfortable No Matter How Safe
Tangris was raised by adoptive loving parents in the wilds of Minnesota. He was part of a family of 8 children, who loved him and nurtured him as though he was their own. Except he wasn't. Where they were tall and fair, he was short and dark. Where they laughed and sang, he brooded and mumbled. He knew he didn't belong and when they told him of his true heritage, he understood why.

Phase Two Aspect: Small But Fierce!
Tangris was always smaller than everyone else. And he knew it. Still, it didn't stop him from picking fights with kids that outweighed him. He stood up for the underdog and if that meant he got the crap kicked out of him, so be it. He learned to fight dirty and he learned to throw the first punch.

Phase Three Aspect: Someone's Gotta Do It
The first change came upon him on the night of his Prom. He had the tux, he had the date, he had a chance to score. Then the lights went out. Then the shooting started. A troubled kid with a grudge against the star quarterback decided to end it all with a bang. Tangris got his date to safety, then felt the Change come over him. Police were later baffled, but glad that a mountain goat had apparently been loosed in the gym at the same time, apparently as a prank. Still, it had stopped the gunman before he could finish his rampage.
