To celebrate Halloween, I’m going to unveil a new OC every week for the rest of spooky month! First up, Agent Wolfduck! As usual, bio is below the cut and art is by @thefriendlyfour
Physical Description: A tall but svelt black velvet scoter duck (tall for a duck- around Morgana or Launchpad’s height) with a yellow beak, and long black head feathers that go down to his lower back and are typically kept in a loose dutch braid. While most of his feathers are black, the palms of his hands are white and he has one thin white stripe down the back of each arm and a curve of white feathers under each eye that looks almost like winged eyeliner.
As a werewolf, he also has two extra forms:
Partial transformation: Grows taller and buffer (a little larger than Steelbeak), eyes turn yellow, gains wolf ears, feathered tail turns into a fluffy black wolf one, and grows fangs & claws.
Full transformation: Becomes MUCH larger (close to Stegmutt in size), beak turns into classic wolf muzzle and turns black with sharp teeth, claws grow longer, webbed feet turn into clawed wolf feet, feathers change into thick fur, and eyes turn a more intense shade of golden yellow.
Outfit: As a lawyer, Wolfduck strives to look professional whenever he leaves the house. His usual suit is dark grey with a silver collar and waistband, as well as circular buttons painted to look like pale yellow crescent moons with black shadows. He usually pairs this with a white button-up shirt, black and silver belt under the suit jacket, and a pale yellow cravat with a special full-moon shaped tie-pin that waxes and wanes to show how much moonlight it has stored up. Also wears black spats instead of shoes (like Scrooge Mcduck) and very large, circular golden glasses.
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Gay
Age: 39
Nicknames: Percy, Wolfy, Fang Face, Fangs Dog Breath, Puppy
Percy is his preferred nickname, but will tolerate Wolfy.
Others are all used by Steelbeak to annoy him.
Hates being called Puppy.
Real Name: Percival Dubois
Background:
Percival grew up as part of a werewolf pack with several littermates and elders, essentially being raised as part of a small, traveling communal family. They didn’t have much growing up due to their nomadic way of living, but they got by easily enough by taking what they needed through brute force.
He traveled across Europe with his pack as a child, making his way to America with them in his teen years by stowing away in a cargo ship.
Unfortunately, they all got busted when they came ashore and some of the pack’s elders got arrested so Percival and the others could escape. He was upset by this and asked the remaining elders when they’d get the others back, but they told him that they wouldn’t be able to- the legal system was frustrating and hard to navigate when you didn’t have enough money to pay for someone to help you through it and no lawyer would want to help a pack of werewolves with hardly any money to their names.
Feeling both spiteful against the system that took part of his family away and determined not to lose anyone else, Wolfduck dedicated the rest of his teen and young adult years to learning as much as he could about the legal system and criminal law.
He tried going to law school by getting a poorly paying part time job that allowed him to take one class at a time using his wages, but was frustrated by how long the process took.
Luckily for him, FOWL was always looking for promising new recruits, and a bright, studious, hard working student frustrated with his financial situation who also had the power to turn into a large, nearly-feral beast was an ideal candidate.
Percival- choosing the name Agent Wolfduck- took the recruiter up on his offer and joined FOWL under the agreement that they’d pay for his education in exchange for both his current physical skills and his future representation as part of their legal team.
Shortly after establishing himself as a lawyer for FOWL, he was partnered up with the organization’s chief officer, Steelbeak. The two had a brief partnership that didn’t pan out due to their conflicting ways of completing missions, but stayed friends afterwards (with Wolfduck developing a bit of a one-sided crush on the other man) and Wolfduck still represents Steelbeak in court on the odd occasion he gets caught by the police.
Current Status: Part of FOWL’s legal team with an exceptionally high ratio of successes- both in court and as an agent.
Personality:
Most of the time, Wolfduck is polite, calm, and relatively mild mannered. He can keep his cool under pressure and isn’t one to fall for taunts or baiting easily.
Note- this does not apply to Steelbeak’s teasing. That man knows how to rile him up and get on his nerves instantly.
You’d better hope you’re never able to beat him in court, however, or you’ll be exposed to his more petty and vindictive side- he has a habit of vandalizing the homes, cars, and other property of anyone (un)fortunate enough to best him in the courtroom and mess up his success ratio.
When he transforms, either partially or fully, his more emotional and feral side comes out.
He’s much quicker to anger like this, not hesitating to literally bite someone’s head off if they do something to piss him off.
With people he’s on good terms with, he becomes less reserved and more physically affectionate- lots of nuzzling, wrapping an arm around their shoulders, wanting head pats, licking them, curling around them, etc.
He’s also more prone to animalistic behavior including scratching things and having an urge to chew on anything he can get his teeth on.
Interesting Bonus Facts:
His eyesight is TERRIBLE. The glasses he wears are an extremely high prescription that he needs to see properly or everything looks like colorful blobs to him.
When he goes full-werewolf, his glasses won’t stay on properly, so he ends up squinting to try seeing better. This makes him look like he’s constantly glaring or scowling, so people get scared.
The tie-pin he wears is a type of charm all werewolves use to store moonlight that can be used to trigger their partial transformations in case of emergencies when there’s no full moon out.
As it fills with energy, the dark side of the moon-pendant decreases and vice versa when the energy is used.
A full charge will give him eight hours of partial transformation time, but it takes at least three nights of sitting in moonlight from a moon that’s at least half full to fully restore it, so he uses this sparingly.
His relationship with Steelbeak differs depending on the universe they’re in, but he always ends up developing some sort of feelings for him that ultimately ends in them just being friends.
In universes where Steelbeak doesn’t figure out his sexuality until after their partnership, Wolfduck’s crush ends up just being something one-sided that Steelbeak was too dense to pick up on.
In universes where Steelbeak does figure himself out by then, the two end up dating for a while, but it never works out because they’re both more focused on their career at the time and mutually decide to end it before they grow to resent each other.
The length of time they're together varies depending on the universe- in a regular one, they’d likely be together for a few months.
In the negaverse, they were together for almost two years because they were too worried about hurting each other’s feelings and tried to keep it going until it got to be too much for them.
