Well I'm goin' out west
 Where the wind blows tall
 cause Tony Franciosa
 Used to date my ma
 They got some money out there
 They're giving it away
 I'm gonna do what I want
 And I'm gonna get paid
 Do what I want
 And I'm gonna get paid
Little brown sausages
 Lying in the sand
 I ain't no extra, baby,
 I'm a leading man!
 Well my parole officer
 Will be proud of me
 With my Olds '88
 And the devil on a leash
 My Olds '88
 And the devil on a leash
I know karate, Voodoo too!
 I'm gonna make myself available to you
 I don't need no make up
 I got real scars
 I got hair on my chest
 I look good without a shirt
I don't lose my composure
 In a high speed chase
 My friends think I'm ugly,
 I got a masculine face!
 I got some dragstrip courage
 I can really drive a bed
 I'm gonna change my name
 To Hannibal or maybe
 Just to Rex
 Change my name to Hannibal
 Or maybe just to Rex
I'm gonna drive all night
 Take some speed
 I'm gonna wait for the sun
 To shine down on me
 I cut a hole in my roof
 In the shape of a heart
And I'm goin' out west
 Where they'll appreciate me
 Goin' out west
 Goin' out west

Descriptions

Concept: Lost his innocence, but toughened his heart--and his hide.

Overview: To hear those who knew him before he was Lost, 1st Lieutenant Clyde Driscoll, 101st Airborne was just the man you wanted leading a platoon into combat. Honorable, courageous, loyal, sensible, selfless... then the Fae got him. Got him and pushed him down into the muck, right into just the sort of swamp he'd clawed his way out of in Louisiana years before.

Somewhere in there, deep down, is the man he was before... maybe. But you couldn't tell it from talking to him now. Now he's every bit the alligator that he looks: lazy, selfish, and stone-cold mean.

Mask: I swear, he used to be a good looking guy, 'fore the Fae got 'im. These days...? Clyde's a white male apparently in his early 30s, typically dressed in tattered old jeans, boots and a wife-beater. He's usually got a beat-up black fedora covering his eyes, turned down to cover his face--and lemme tell ya, that's a damn good thing. The Others, they must'a dropped him down the Ugly Tree an' made sure his face hit every branch on the way down... then picked 'im up an' done it again...

Mein: Add a hundred pounds of muscle and cover it all in the thick, scaly hide of a bayou alligator and it's a start. Clyde doesn't have a snout--not quite--but those teeth aren't nice to look at, and "shifty" doesn't begin to describe what's wrong with those eyes.

The Drawl: Hard to say if it's real or fake, 'cause he didn't talk this way... y'know, before, like maybe he'd broken hisself of it... but Clyde talks in this rrrreeeeeaaaaalllll sssslllloooowwww an' llllooowwww Cajun drawl. Make your skin crawl, know what I'm sayin'?

Current Mortal Activities: Legally indigent. Suspected of gathering a voodoo cult comprised of social misfits and other marginalized citizens. Wanted for murder in Louisiana, August, 2007.

Current Fae Activities: PENDING

Character Inspirations

Inspirational Quotes

"He is ill-tempered and lazy, a strong fighter and a big eater. Gator shamans like big payoffs that allow them to take it easy for a while. It can take a hefty argument to talk a Gator shaman into any unnecessary exertion, but once a Gator shaman decides to do something, it can be just as difficult to talk him out of it." --Totems, from Shadowrun: 3rd Edition


"He's nothin' but a low-down, double-dealin', back-stabbin', larcenous, perverted worm! Hangin's too good for 'im! BURNIN'S too good for 'im! He should be torn into little bits and pieces and BURIED ALIVE!" -- Hanover Fist, "Heavy Metal: The Movie"


"Rogue -- You don't want to work for a living; why should you when you can simply fleece others? You pick their pockets while they preach their sermons, and prefer to let the world work for you instead of the other way around. You Quest when you achieve something that you don't really deserve, and have a simple Ban -- never work. --From "The Shining Host"


"I'm gonna kick your teeth so far down your throat you'll be able to chew your own ass out for pissin' me off." --The Undertaker (American Bad Ass style)


Never take a stranger's advice
 Never let a friend fool you twice
 Nobody's on nobody's side
 Never be the first to believe
 Never be the last to deceive
 Nobody's on nobody's side
 And never leave a moment too soon
 Never waste a hot afternoon
 Nobody's on nobody's side
 Never stay a minute too long
 Don't forget the best will go wrong
 Nobody's on nobody's side.
--"Nobody's Side" from the musical "Chess"

Quotes - Words Spoken By Friend or Foe

(Open to public edits)

  • "You wouldn't think it by lookin' at him, but Clyde was once a great man. No matter how far he's sunk, I'm gonna make it my business to see him rise again." - Race Ardent


  • "Clyde is big. Don't let him sit on small chairs." - Nine


  • "Clyde isn't a bad man. He's just a little more damaged than the rest of us. Or maybe he just isn't as good at covering it up." - Athanor


  • "LT was a good man. A good friend and a good leader. Once upon a time, anyway. Now...now he's only a little better than Rook." - Doc Shepherd


  • "I remember the Lieutenant. Hard to argue with him, awfully right most of the time. I haven't seen him since we were taken, so I hope he did all right in there. Good fella, heart of gold kind of thing." - Static


  • "I remain effervescent, having stumbled upon my Uncle Clyde. We always knew that where the Hedge spat us back out would in perpetuum remain home, the bayou is tempestuous and yet consolatory as ever. Something about having family tickles us." - Capricious


  • "We're all different from before we got taken, but I know the LT is still a good man. No one can take that much away from a man, even the Fae. That's why I still call him sir, and that's why I gave him Marcus' bars." - Copper



  • "His name is long. Cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide." - Nujalik


  • "I like him. He's... what's the word? Direct. He doesn't have to like me back." - Tanis


  • "One of the best officers I served under in my time there. Pity what happened to him though... still gotta salute the man and call him 'sir' if for nothing more than what he did back there." - Paul Swann

Rumors - Naw, That Couldn't be True... Could It?

(Open to public edits)

  • Clyde is the lord prophet of a crazy voodoo cult.
  • No, this one's real: first in his class at West Point. Yeah, that guy. Swear to God.
  • Clyde has been sending condolence letters to the families of the men he lost in 'Nam... y'know, practically forty years later.
  • Ya think Clyde's scary wait till you meet Bonny.
  • Ironically, about the only time he seems to give a damn what's going on around him is when he's having a 'Nam flashback. Sometimes Charlie really is in the trees.
