Character Information
Known History
This section is currently going under major revision, due to IC events and background changes from pre-chronicle to live chronicle. Thank you for your patience!
Current Activities: Dub serves as the Summer King for the Great Blackswamp, and Summer rules over Autumn as well by mutual agreement. He doesn't lord his authority over anyone, necessarily, but if you want something from him he'll be more than happy to sell it to you. Court positions and festival honors, or more 'mundane' physical labors can all be acquired... if you have what he wants.
Background:
Dub was once a perfectly normal human child, as are most changelings. It wasn't his fault that the Faeries took a liking to him; he didn't wander into any magical toadstool circles, call out names in front of mirrors, or look up ancient spells. He's too smart for that.
His only sin was being near a lightning strike caused by a Fae with a crackpot plan. His Keeper had this theory about understanding humans. Human bodies are all ruled by minute electrical charges, so electricity must be the key to humanity. So to understand humans, Dub's Keeper just needed to rip away everything -except- that electrical impulse.
Not that the reasoning much matters to Dub. It was never really explained to him why that bitch kept shocking him, why he had to learn to control the element and become it to avoid the pain, and why his Keeper kept making him practice stretching himself and reaching out once he had. It was never explained why his Keeper stripped him of everything else human, his body and thoughts, and his emotions.
All that matters is, one day, he was purest electricity itself. Not that he really understood the concept at that point... couldn't do much thinking anymore. But when he stretched himself the next time, Dub felt something. A path of least resistance, a conductive path for his form to flow through. And he stretched that way.
He had a life, a family, goals and emotions. He was a student somewhere, he guesses, because all kids are. He knows he isn't stupid, so he probably wasn't failing out. Probably would've gone to college, reached the American dream of the middle-class lifestyle.
It doesn't matter anymore. He doesn't remember it. Dub doesn't even feel lost, or realize there's anything to miss. He's seen his family since then, and the fetch that took his place... but Dub didn't remember any of them, he just 'knew' he was watching his Fetch living his life. Surrounded by what he assumes are his family, friends, and possibly his loves, he didn't recognize them at all... and what's more, he didn't care.
Johnny found him, at the end of his last stretch... weeping and raving, clawing at a transformer station and trying to get inside. He fixed Dub Thgil Reeb up... named him, and introduced him to a nice easy way to feel emotions like a man again. So what if Johnny is one of the only ways to get the drugs. Feeling is better than not. And Johnny's shit makes him feel.. reeeal good.

Allies
Johnny - So Johnny found me, right? Calmed me down, dragged me out of the wild, helped me feel again. So I make sure Johnny keeps livin. Doesn't mean I won't go after the guy, if the price is right... but Johnny'll get the chance to outbid ya.
Sean Briggs - He's a bit fragile, sadly, but he has great business sense. Doesn't try tricking my ass with fancy words, and he's always got something fun for me to do.
Gaea - Tough for a wench, knocked me flat on my ass. And taught me about mopping, keeping beer in creeks, and not to attack leaves that fly though windows. She's impressive, you can be damn sure, but one of these days she'll get in over her head and call me... shit, I may even give her the first kill free!
Candy - Because of her, I never need to go finding a drug to feel sad. And she keeps teaching me things, like new names for months, and something called 'etiquette'... it apparently involves -not- beating people up as a greeting.

Quotes
- "Shit goes down, Dub has my fucking back. He needs a fix, I got his." - Johnny
- "The first time I meet him, he tries to beat me up. If that's not the beginning of friends, I don't know what is." - Gaea
- "Dub is much the same as the rest of us. We all went through hell and we all got to claw our way back out. We each choose our way and sometimes we get help along our path. I hope I helped him some." - Gilded
- "Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but definitely a blunt weapon. Don't even ask me how he managed to be King. I suppose you just can't help but like the brute." - Candy
- "I'll give Dub one thing... he does not give in to fear easily. I can respect that." -Abel Grimm
- "So this dude apparently took money to hit Blue with an axe. Naturally, I tried to rip off his fucking face, but later I find out that he's really just this dumb guy that kind of goes along with what his friends tell him to do. I figured, shit, I can relate to that...seems like the kind of guy I could grab a beer with, you know? I mean, I'll still tear off his head and wear it like a little hat if he tries it again, but at least now I'd kinda feel a little bad about it." - Dzxoxian Brokehorn
- "Dub attacking bitches at parties? Thats rockin' out with your cock out!" - Johnny
Rumors
Dub may be the reincarnation of a truly successful Repo-man.
Before he met Candy to help depress him, Dub had a list of country songs he could use to reduce himself to tears.
Dub has a long list of female clients he provides 'paid services' to on a regular basis.
He will do anything for the right price. Anything.
