Name: Randall Lyall
Reincarnation Of: Randolph Lyall
Canon: Parasol Protectorate
Age: 300+ / 34
Appearance: Played by Peter Davidson
Current Occupation: Part time tutoring employment in Germany
Current Condition: Unhappy but determined, also nocturnal
Full Application: From werewolf to teacher and then back again.
Echoes:
~Sunlight and Sense of Smell: Brought on by finding an empty journal much like one he used to carry, a memento of an old lover, Lyall finds sunlight to be uncomfortable on his skin-- it produces a slight buzzing sensation-- and has a slightly heightened sense of smell. He also remembers the name "Sandy", but cannot for the life of him remember from where.
~Sense of Smell: Brought on by interaction with a Vermini, all of Lyall's supernatural sense of smell has been returned.
~Rescue Memories: Brought on by interacting with Paul before his death, and then witnessing his death, Lyall remembered the events leading up to the rescue of Biffy in his canon, and from that regained a variety of unconscious investigative skills and the will to use them.
~Memory of the Woolsey Castle Ghost: Brought on by Hajime's magical disappearing belt, a memory of seeing the Woolsey Castle ghost appear in front of him and briefly discussing something BUR-official-related with her
~Old Blood: Brought on by touching the second snake pillar in the Dead District, Lyall's blood turns to werewolf blood. He gains a very slight healing ability (only enough to process the changed blood and not keel over), a lowered body temperature (dropped by 10F or thereabouts), and the inability to process complex carbohydrates (i.e. chocolate, candy, processed corn syrup).
~Memory of Lord Akeldama: Brought on by a conversation with Fay where he mentions wanting to taste blood. He remembers first meeting a girly blonde fellow much like Fay who calls him a "darling puppy".
~Airsickness: Brought on by a trip in Chris's rented airplane. Werewolves get terribly airsick when they try to float/fly/move above the ground. So now so does Lyall!
~Sheep and family: Brought on by interaction with Detective Sherman and his sheep scent. He remembers helping with sheep birthing and care, with a family that is decidedly not his Iowan family, in someplace that is decidedly not Iowa. He may figure out eventually that it's the Scottish Highlands, but hasn't made the connection yet.
~A hunt: Brought on by Aaron's first mention of werewolves on the network, Lyall remembers being a wolf and hunting with the pack.
~Major Channing: Brought on by meeting Casval face to face, the memory of standing in front of a bunch of soldiers, in the buff, with Gamma werewolf Major Channing Channing of the Chesterfield Channings (yes, that is actually his name) and wearily introducing him to his new Alpha female, Alexia Maccon. There is the sense with it that they just had an altercation of some sort, and the knowledge that Channing has been: 1, a good man to have at his back, 2, extremely annoying, and 3, slightly dangerous, all at the same time.
~Healing: Brought on by interaction with the "werewolves", or mutant dog police, only a sliver of his healing ability is currently active: broken bones will heal in about a day, instead of over several weeks/months.
~Alpha fight: Brought on by lingering in the presence of three statues too long, Lyall relived the memory of watching the battle between his former Alpha and his current Alpha, and the former Alpha's death; this comes with a sense of fear and anger at the former Alpha, worry about his plan not succeeding (he doesn't get any memory of that this plan is, except that it culminated in bringing this new wolf to fight the old wolf), and finally satisfaction when the abusive Alpha dies at the teeth of Conall Maccon. The memory ends as he begins to introduce himself to Conall as his new Beta.
~Biffy in danger: Brought on by Anthony being hurt while on the mine-exploring Numbers Club field trip, Lyall remembers Biffy being shot while he and Conall were trying rescue him, and the certainty that he would die if not turned by Conall.
~Vampire smell: When Anthony gets his first zombification and Lyall smells and touches him, Lyall suddenly "remembers" the smell of a vampire, which is very similar to the smell of a zombie.
~Full moon shifting: As of the meeting with the Sage of the Earth, Lyall now is forced to shift into wolf form every full moon. His first bone-bender occurs on June 23rd.
~Ancient Egyptian: Not so much understanding, but recognizing: Lyall now knows what Egyptian from several different centuries sounds like, thanks to Bakura's cursing in Egyptian in front of him and his canon self being fairly familiar with the language through Alessandro and studies of werewolf history.
~Alessandro's journal: During an attempt to catch a vermini, this appeared in place of the blank one he bought. It is mostly empty.
~Further bone healing: An attack on Lyall's house by a mutated fellow teacher resulted in Lyall's healing ability, regarding his bones, to accelerate. He now heals within a couple hours instead of a day. This does not affect cuts and bruises.
~His biting memory: From visiting the mines a second time and running into a vermedi there, Lyall remembers when other-him was first bitten and turned into a werewolf.
~English accent: His first conversation and handshake with a fellow werewolf, who also had an English accent, brought back his. It was delayed to appear at his return to the city after a trip to help his parents.
~Sense of Hearing: When he tracked the quiet buzzing to the Turning Towers, upon his return to the city, Lyall was "blessed" with the whole of his werewolf sense of hearing. Now everything seems ten times as loud and he has trouble sorting it all out.
~The Octomaton: The memory of fighting a giant metal monster, the octomaton from Heartless, to a standstill with a whole pack of fellow werewolves. He doesn't have his mind at the time, as it's a full moon night, but the memory is still there (if hazy). The memory lasts from shortly before sunrise to shortly after, when he's forced back into human form and drags himself into action to organize the exhausted pack and get the youngest pack member out of the sun. This also grants the knowledge that sunlight is dangerous to some werewolves, but not himself. It ends before Alexia comes to join them.
~Clavigers: While discussing guardians for his and Reilanin's werewolf selves, Lyall received the word "claviger" and the knowledge of all it entailed: protection, patronage, and a chance to be turned into a werewolf, balanced by keeping watch over and containing the wolf on the full moon.
~Sundowner bullets: Richard jokingly suggested he use silver bullets on Lyall, and Lyall remembered sundowner bullets, made from hard wood and silver, and that silver in particular is dangerous to werewovles.
~Fighting with Soul: When Hajime let him and Reilanin out of their respective cages on the full moon, Lyall was granted part of the ability to keep his mind while in wolf form. This is only partially in effect, and only functions when he is changed willfully (i.e. not at the full moon), and not when he's nervous, injured, angry, hungry, or in combat. He cannot use it at all at this point, since he only changes on the full moon.
~Experience: When running into the snake statues in the subway, Lyall remembered his true age, and that he has three hundred some-odd years of experience behind him. While he cannot access it directly at this point, it gives him some measure of confidence and keeps him more level-headed in tense situations.
~Silver handcuffs: When cuffed by the police, Lyall remembered being cuffed with silver manacles and led down to a medieval style dungeon to be locked away for the full moon. The memory lasts from the cuffing to the cell door closing behind him, the cuffs burn against his skin where they brush it beyond the cuffs of his sleeves, and the emotion involved is fear. (This is from a very early change, when he still needed manacles and did not have the control he has in canon.)
~Preternaturals: Ivy Tunstell's arrival on the network, accompanied by a parasol and mentions of the soulless, allows Lyall to remember what a soulless is! He got the knowledge of a soulless's proper name (preternatural), what they can do (block the abilities of a werewolf or vampire and exorcise a ghost), about their general information (that they are rare, that they always breed true, and that they cannot share the same air), and that he knew two of them (just a sense of familiarity, respect for one, and the ache of old grief for the other).
~Biffy's rescue, part three: When Ivy tells him about bringing a wolf-formed Biffy to her house, Lyall remembers that same scene, from arriving at Ivy's house, through Biffy changing back to human form at sunrise, to trying to explain (badly) what happened to Biffy.
~Glassicals: For Christmas, the Earth gave Lyall back his glassicals-- or, more accurately, his monocular cross-magnification lenses with spectra-modifier attachment, which resemble a cross between binoculars and opera glasses. He hasn't entirely gotten the use of them down yet, but they seem useful, anyway.
~Ivy Tunstell nee Hisselpenny: Meeting Granny Ivy in person reminds Lyall of who Ivy was, in her past life, making him quite surprised to see an old woman instead of a young lady.
~Conall Maccon (Tier 2): When Ivy lists all the things she's remembered so far, Lyall remembers both who Conall Maccon is (name, personality, rank, and some of his past and social life) as well as what he did to entice him to abandon his own pack in Scotland and move to his pack in London. The latter came with a confusing welter of emotions-- sadness, grief, anger, desperation-- but no why.
~Wolf-shifting at will: When the snakes attack Elian's house for the discussion gathering, the threat echoes Lyall back his ability to change into a wolf outside of the full moon. He has very little control over himself, still.
~Human prey: Biting Nick while in wolf form gives Lyall back his taste for human flesh, mostly when he is injured and needs to restore himself, but people now smell generally tasty.
~Further regeneration: As a result of Melissa shooting him while in wolf form, Lyall has another sliver of his supernatural healing ability. Now cuts and bruises heal within a day, and bad cuts (and gunshot wounds) heal within a few days.
~Knowledge of werewolf control: Hajime asks if he knows anything about werewolves and changing before the full moon, and Lyall remembers explaining that very problem to Biffy several nights before his first full moon, when he has to be locked up, as well. He recalls why it happens and what it will take to stop doing it: self-acceptance and self-control.
~Tunstell the claviger: Ivy Curry tells him of Tunstell and that he was a claviger, and Lyall remembers him standing up to the pack Gamma to protect Alexia Maccon, and then Lyall himself in wolf form intervening before "punishment" for doing so can be adminstered.
~Conall drunk: Half-carrying a drunken Arthur to his car and driving him home, Lyall was hit with the memory of supporting an equally drunken, singing, and even larger Alpha werewolf from bathroom to bedroom, and said werewolf going wolf halfway there.
~Further werewolf control: As a result of coming in proximity to Wise Snake's rampage, Lyall can now keep his mind while in wolf form, as long as he is not actively fighting. If he has to fight something, he will still go into full moon-mad mode, but he'll be able to shake himself out of it again if he manages to exert some willpower. This does not affect full moon changes, or near-full-moon changes.
~Waistcoat of holding: Not actually a magical object. This tastefully understated, brown pinstripe Victorian waistcoat has a myriad of little pockets inside, perfect for carrying small odds and ends if one wishes to be prepared for all occasions. Lyall received it in response to seeing a video of the pink light in Las Vegas on the news.
~Alessandro's journal: After running into the mirror monster of Bakura, more entries are filled in, in his journal from Alessandro. Most of them continue on the same track as the original: descriptions of social events and outfits. One entry will mention a trip to Egypt, but not what it is about. Another, very late in the journal, will mention seeing "him" with a bruised face and worrying for him.
~Cravat familiarity: Though he doesn't actually have one yet, watching the alien interview on television returned the habitual desire to wear a cravat. Lyall isn't even entirely sure what it is, just yet, only that his neck feels particularly exposed....
~Randolph: When meeting the alien Geoff, Lyall found himself wanting to use the name "Randolph" instead of "Randall" to refer to himself. Annoying!
~Increased shifting control: When hit by the first blackout, Lyall gained further control over his werewolf self. He no longer has to spend three to four nights a month locked up-- only the full moon itself-- and has full control over himself no matter what the emotion. He still can't physically fight as a wolf without losing himself, but everything else is do-able.
~Nocturnal: After using the teleporter for the first time to get to Las Vegas, Lyall's sleeping habits have reversed: he now prefers to sleep during the day (afternoons, specifically) and be up all night.
~Anibus form: Upon seeing the cultist's symbols for the first time, Lyall recalled Biffy gaining Anubis (wolf-head only) form. He has no knowledge of what this means, except that at the time he was amazed that it had happened at all, let alone so soon, and that it was the answer to a variety of unspecified problems.
~Supernatural strength and physique: Visual contact with Refined Shell returned Lyall's supernatural strength-- which is only available after dark, not during the day-- as well as his werewolf physique. The latter isn't a huge difference, his clothes still pretty much all fit, but he went from bog-standard, skinny geek to someone who had to physically work for a living before he was bitten, so the difference will be definitely noticeable.
~More Journal Entries: On Christmas, when two new locations join the former three, Lyall's journal gains three more entries which do not share the Christmas cheer. These are much clearer about the person being written about being abused, and includes the final entry where the writer says he's going to do something about it, despite being told not to, including the words "I am better at fighting than loving."
~Alessandro's death (Tier 2): When Nick temporarily dies on Lyall's couch he regains the memory of seeing Alessandro (his former self's long-term boyfriend) dead at the hands (or rather, teeth) of his former Alpha. This cascades into remembering exactly why he disposed of said Alpha, though it comes in pieces as the poor boy is trying to revive Nick.
Returned Supernatural Abilities:
~Sense of Smell: Lyall's sense of smell is much, much keener than that of a normal human's, though he is learning to sort through it all, slowly but surely.
~Sense of Hearing: This came on him all at once, and now Lyall is capable of hearing at multiple times his human level. This makes living in a metropolis difficult.
~Healing: Only part of his healing ability is currently active: broken bones will heal in a couple hours, instead of over several weeks/months. Minor to moderate cuts and bruises heal within a day, and bad cuts and gunshot wounds heal within a few days.
~Full moon shape-shifting: As of the meeting with the Sage of the Earth, Lyall now is forced to shift into wolf form every full moon, and he will lose his mind to the hunting urge for the duration of the night. He will not have any of the speed and strength abilities to go with it. Due to that limited healing ability, he will also be out of commission for an hour or two after changing and changing back.
~Fighting with Soul: The ability to keep his mind while in wolf form. This is only partially in effect, and only functions when he is changed willfully (i.e. not at the full moon), and not when he is in combat. He can be returned to himself after combat if he exerts willpower, however, or has particular reason to do so, such as being in the presence of someone he knows well and does not want to hurt.
~Experience: Lyall has three hundred some-odd years of experience behind him, which, while he cannot access it directly at this point, gives him some measure of confidence and keeps him level-headed in tense situations.
~Shape-shifting at will: So long as the sun is down, Lyall has the ability to change into a wolf outside of the full moon. He has quite a bit of control over himself, now, but still can't actually, physically fight without losing himself.
~Supernatural Strength: After dark, Lyall is now much stronger than a normal, mortal human, able to toss small pieces of furniture and rather easily break down your standard doors, not to mention lift people without too much difficulty.
Returned Items
~Alessandro's Journal: At the start, it will mostly be blank as well, with only a few entries in it at this time. Most are fairly early on and revealing nothing particularly incriminating (clothing choices, trips to the theater, and a record of a conversation with a friend about a pair of socialite ladies of their acquaintance). The entries and book will be dated. Two thus far of interest are a mention of a trip to Egypt, though with no further context, and an entry later in the journal about seeing "him" with a bruised face and worrying about him, expanded upon in three more entries at Christmas (2014) making the abuses much more clear though not who they were done by, ending with the final entry where the writer decides to do something about it.
~Glassicals: For Christmas (2013), the Earth gave Lyall back his glassicals-- or, more accurately, his monocular cross-magnification lenses with spectra-modifier attachment, which resemble a cross between binoculars and opera glasses. He hasn't entirely gotten the use of them down yet, but they seem useful, anyway.
~Waistcoat of holding: Not actually a magical object. This tastefully understated, brown pinstripe Victorian waistcoat has a myriad of little pockets inside, perfect for carrying small odds and ends if one wishes to be prepared for all occasions.

~January 5: love of mine: Nick "dies" and Lyall freaks the fuck out
Reincarnation Of: Randolph Lyall
Canon: Parasol Protectorate
Age: 300+ / 34
Appearance: Played by Peter Davidson
Current Occupation: Part time tutoring employment in Germany
Current Condition: Unhappy but determined, also nocturnal
Full Application: From werewolf to teacher and then back again.
Echoes:
~Sunlight and Sense of Smell: Brought on by finding an empty journal much like one he used to carry, a memento of an old lover, Lyall finds sunlight to be uncomfortable on his skin-- it produces a slight buzzing sensation-- and has a slightly heightened sense of smell. He also remembers the name "Sandy", but cannot for the life of him remember from where.
~Sense of Smell: Brought on by interaction with a Vermini, all of Lyall's supernatural sense of smell has been returned.
~Rescue Memories: Brought on by interacting with Paul before his death, and then witnessing his death, Lyall remembered the events leading up to the rescue of Biffy in his canon, and from that regained a variety of unconscious investigative skills and the will to use them.
~Memory of the Woolsey Castle Ghost: Brought on by Hajime's magical disappearing belt, a memory of seeing the Woolsey Castle ghost appear in front of him and briefly discussing something BUR-official-related with her
~Old Blood: Brought on by touching the second snake pillar in the Dead District, Lyall's blood turns to werewolf blood. He gains a very slight healing ability (only enough to process the changed blood and not keel over), a lowered body temperature (dropped by 10F or thereabouts), and the inability to process complex carbohydrates (i.e. chocolate, candy, processed corn syrup).
~Memory of Lord Akeldama: Brought on by a conversation with Fay where he mentions wanting to taste blood. He remembers first meeting a girly blonde fellow much like Fay who calls him a "darling puppy".
~Airsickness: Brought on by a trip in Chris's rented airplane. Werewolves get terribly airsick when they try to float/fly/move above the ground. So now so does Lyall!
~Sheep and family: Brought on by interaction with Detective Sherman and his sheep scent. He remembers helping with sheep birthing and care, with a family that is decidedly not his Iowan family, in someplace that is decidedly not Iowa. He may figure out eventually that it's the Scottish Highlands, but hasn't made the connection yet.
~A hunt: Brought on by Aaron's first mention of werewolves on the network, Lyall remembers being a wolf and hunting with the pack.
~Major Channing: Brought on by meeting Casval face to face, the memory of standing in front of a bunch of soldiers, in the buff, with Gamma werewolf Major Channing Channing of the Chesterfield Channings (yes, that is actually his name) and wearily introducing him to his new Alpha female, Alexia Maccon. There is the sense with it that they just had an altercation of some sort, and the knowledge that Channing has been: 1, a good man to have at his back, 2, extremely annoying, and 3, slightly dangerous, all at the same time.
~Healing: Brought on by interaction with the "werewolves", or mutant dog police, only a sliver of his healing ability is currently active: broken bones will heal in about a day, instead of over several weeks/months.
~Alpha fight: Brought on by lingering in the presence of three statues too long, Lyall relived the memory of watching the battle between his former Alpha and his current Alpha, and the former Alpha's death; this comes with a sense of fear and anger at the former Alpha, worry about his plan not succeeding (he doesn't get any memory of that this plan is, except that it culminated in bringing this new wolf to fight the old wolf), and finally satisfaction when the abusive Alpha dies at the teeth of Conall Maccon. The memory ends as he begins to introduce himself to Conall as his new Beta.
~Biffy in danger: Brought on by Anthony being hurt while on the mine-exploring Numbers Club field trip, Lyall remembers Biffy being shot while he and Conall were trying rescue him, and the certainty that he would die if not turned by Conall.
~Vampire smell: When Anthony gets his first zombification and Lyall smells and touches him, Lyall suddenly "remembers" the smell of a vampire, which is very similar to the smell of a zombie.
~Full moon shifting: As of the meeting with the Sage of the Earth, Lyall now is forced to shift into wolf form every full moon. His first bone-bender occurs on June 23rd.
~Ancient Egyptian: Not so much understanding, but recognizing: Lyall now knows what Egyptian from several different centuries sounds like, thanks to Bakura's cursing in Egyptian in front of him and his canon self being fairly familiar with the language through Alessandro and studies of werewolf history.
~Alessandro's journal: During an attempt to catch a vermini, this appeared in place of the blank one he bought. It is mostly empty.
~Further bone healing: An attack on Lyall's house by a mutated fellow teacher resulted in Lyall's healing ability, regarding his bones, to accelerate. He now heals within a couple hours instead of a day. This does not affect cuts and bruises.
~His biting memory: From visiting the mines a second time and running into a vermedi there, Lyall remembers when other-him was first bitten and turned into a werewolf.
~English accent: His first conversation and handshake with a fellow werewolf, who also had an English accent, brought back his. It was delayed to appear at his return to the city after a trip to help his parents.
~Sense of Hearing: When he tracked the quiet buzzing to the Turning Towers, upon his return to the city, Lyall was "blessed" with the whole of his werewolf sense of hearing. Now everything seems ten times as loud and he has trouble sorting it all out.
~The Octomaton: The memory of fighting a giant metal monster, the octomaton from Heartless, to a standstill with a whole pack of fellow werewolves. He doesn't have his mind at the time, as it's a full moon night, but the memory is still there (if hazy). The memory lasts from shortly before sunrise to shortly after, when he's forced back into human form and drags himself into action to organize the exhausted pack and get the youngest pack member out of the sun. This also grants the knowledge that sunlight is dangerous to some werewolves, but not himself. It ends before Alexia comes to join them.
~Clavigers: While discussing guardians for his and Reilanin's werewolf selves, Lyall received the word "claviger" and the knowledge of all it entailed: protection, patronage, and a chance to be turned into a werewolf, balanced by keeping watch over and containing the wolf on the full moon.
~Sundowner bullets: Richard jokingly suggested he use silver bullets on Lyall, and Lyall remembered sundowner bullets, made from hard wood and silver, and that silver in particular is dangerous to werewovles.
~Fighting with Soul: When Hajime let him and Reilanin out of their respective cages on the full moon, Lyall was granted part of the ability to keep his mind while in wolf form. This is only partially in effect, and only functions when he is changed willfully (i.e. not at the full moon), and not when he's nervous, injured, angry, hungry, or in combat. He cannot use it at all at this point, since he only changes on the full moon.
~Experience: When running into the snake statues in the subway, Lyall remembered his true age, and that he has three hundred some-odd years of experience behind him. While he cannot access it directly at this point, it gives him some measure of confidence and keeps him more level-headed in tense situations.
~Silver handcuffs: When cuffed by the police, Lyall remembered being cuffed with silver manacles and led down to a medieval style dungeon to be locked away for the full moon. The memory lasts from the cuffing to the cell door closing behind him, the cuffs burn against his skin where they brush it beyond the cuffs of his sleeves, and the emotion involved is fear. (This is from a very early change, when he still needed manacles and did not have the control he has in canon.)
~Preternaturals: Ivy Tunstell's arrival on the network, accompanied by a parasol and mentions of the soulless, allows Lyall to remember what a soulless is! He got the knowledge of a soulless's proper name (preternatural), what they can do (block the abilities of a werewolf or vampire and exorcise a ghost), about their general information (that they are rare, that they always breed true, and that they cannot share the same air), and that he knew two of them (just a sense of familiarity, respect for one, and the ache of old grief for the other).
~Biffy's rescue, part three: When Ivy tells him about bringing a wolf-formed Biffy to her house, Lyall remembers that same scene, from arriving at Ivy's house, through Biffy changing back to human form at sunrise, to trying to explain (badly) what happened to Biffy.
~Glassicals: For Christmas, the Earth gave Lyall back his glassicals-- or, more accurately, his monocular cross-magnification lenses with spectra-modifier attachment, which resemble a cross between binoculars and opera glasses. He hasn't entirely gotten the use of them down yet, but they seem useful, anyway.
~Ivy Tunstell nee Hisselpenny: Meeting Granny Ivy in person reminds Lyall of who Ivy was, in her past life, making him quite surprised to see an old woman instead of a young lady.
~Conall Maccon (Tier 2): When Ivy lists all the things she's remembered so far, Lyall remembers both who Conall Maccon is (name, personality, rank, and some of his past and social life) as well as what he did to entice him to abandon his own pack in Scotland and move to his pack in London. The latter came with a confusing welter of emotions-- sadness, grief, anger, desperation-- but no why.
~Wolf-shifting at will: When the snakes attack Elian's house for the discussion gathering, the threat echoes Lyall back his ability to change into a wolf outside of the full moon. He has very little control over himself, still.
~Human prey: Biting Nick while in wolf form gives Lyall back his taste for human flesh, mostly when he is injured and needs to restore himself, but people now smell generally tasty.
~Further regeneration: As a result of Melissa shooting him while in wolf form, Lyall has another sliver of his supernatural healing ability. Now cuts and bruises heal within a day, and bad cuts (and gunshot wounds) heal within a few days.
~Knowledge of werewolf control: Hajime asks if he knows anything about werewolves and changing before the full moon, and Lyall remembers explaining that very problem to Biffy several nights before his first full moon, when he has to be locked up, as well. He recalls why it happens and what it will take to stop doing it: self-acceptance and self-control.
~Tunstell the claviger: Ivy Curry tells him of Tunstell and that he was a claviger, and Lyall remembers him standing up to the pack Gamma to protect Alexia Maccon, and then Lyall himself in wolf form intervening before "punishment" for doing so can be adminstered.
~Conall drunk: Half-carrying a drunken Arthur to his car and driving him home, Lyall was hit with the memory of supporting an equally drunken, singing, and even larger Alpha werewolf from bathroom to bedroom, and said werewolf going wolf halfway there.
~Further werewolf control: As a result of coming in proximity to Wise Snake's rampage, Lyall can now keep his mind while in wolf form, as long as he is not actively fighting. If he has to fight something, he will still go into full moon-mad mode, but he'll be able to shake himself out of it again if he manages to exert some willpower. This does not affect full moon changes, or near-full-moon changes.
~Waistcoat of holding: Not actually a magical object. This tastefully understated, brown pinstripe Victorian waistcoat has a myriad of little pockets inside, perfect for carrying small odds and ends if one wishes to be prepared for all occasions. Lyall received it in response to seeing a video of the pink light in Las Vegas on the news.
~Alessandro's journal: After running into the mirror monster of Bakura, more entries are filled in, in his journal from Alessandro. Most of them continue on the same track as the original: descriptions of social events and outfits. One entry will mention a trip to Egypt, but not what it is about. Another, very late in the journal, will mention seeing "him" with a bruised face and worrying for him.
~Cravat familiarity: Though he doesn't actually have one yet, watching the alien interview on television returned the habitual desire to wear a cravat. Lyall isn't even entirely sure what it is, just yet, only that his neck feels particularly exposed....
~Randolph: When meeting the alien Geoff, Lyall found himself wanting to use the name "Randolph" instead of "Randall" to refer to himself. Annoying!
~Increased shifting control: When hit by the first blackout, Lyall gained further control over his werewolf self. He no longer has to spend three to four nights a month locked up-- only the full moon itself-- and has full control over himself no matter what the emotion. He still can't physically fight as a wolf without losing himself, but everything else is do-able.
~Nocturnal: After using the teleporter for the first time to get to Las Vegas, Lyall's sleeping habits have reversed: he now prefers to sleep during the day (afternoons, specifically) and be up all night.
~Anibus form: Upon seeing the cultist's symbols for the first time, Lyall recalled Biffy gaining Anubis (wolf-head only) form. He has no knowledge of what this means, except that at the time he was amazed that it had happened at all, let alone so soon, and that it was the answer to a variety of unspecified problems.
~Supernatural strength and physique: Visual contact with Refined Shell returned Lyall's supernatural strength-- which is only available after dark, not during the day-- as well as his werewolf physique. The latter isn't a huge difference, his clothes still pretty much all fit, but he went from bog-standard, skinny geek to someone who had to physically work for a living before he was bitten, so the difference will be definitely noticeable.
~More Journal Entries: On Christmas, when two new locations join the former three, Lyall's journal gains three more entries which do not share the Christmas cheer. These are much clearer about the person being written about being abused, and includes the final entry where the writer says he's going to do something about it, despite being told not to, including the words "I am better at fighting than loving."
~Alessandro's death (Tier 2): When Nick temporarily dies on Lyall's couch he regains the memory of seeing Alessandro (his former self's long-term boyfriend) dead at the hands (or rather, teeth) of his former Alpha. This cascades into remembering exactly why he disposed of said Alpha, though it comes in pieces as the poor boy is trying to revive Nick.
Returned Supernatural Abilities:
~Sense of Smell: Lyall's sense of smell is much, much keener than that of a normal human's, though he is learning to sort through it all, slowly but surely.
~Sense of Hearing: This came on him all at once, and now Lyall is capable of hearing at multiple times his human level. This makes living in a metropolis difficult.
~Healing: Only part of his healing ability is currently active: broken bones will heal in a couple hours, instead of over several weeks/months. Minor to moderate cuts and bruises heal within a day, and bad cuts and gunshot wounds heal within a few days.
~Full moon shape-shifting: As of the meeting with the Sage of the Earth, Lyall now is forced to shift into wolf form every full moon, and he will lose his mind to the hunting urge for the duration of the night. He will not have any of the speed and strength abilities to go with it. Due to that limited healing ability, he will also be out of commission for an hour or two after changing and changing back.
~Fighting with Soul: The ability to keep his mind while in wolf form. This is only partially in effect, and only functions when he is changed willfully (i.e. not at the full moon), and not when he is in combat. He can be returned to himself after combat if he exerts willpower, however, or has particular reason to do so, such as being in the presence of someone he knows well and does not want to hurt.
~Experience: Lyall has three hundred some-odd years of experience behind him, which, while he cannot access it directly at this point, gives him some measure of confidence and keeps him level-headed in tense situations.
~Shape-shifting at will: So long as the sun is down, Lyall has the ability to change into a wolf outside of the full moon. He has quite a bit of control over himself, now, but still can't actually, physically fight without losing himself.
~Supernatural Strength: After dark, Lyall is now much stronger than a normal, mortal human, able to toss small pieces of furniture and rather easily break down your standard doors, not to mention lift people without too much difficulty.
Returned Items
~Alessandro's Journal: At the start, it will mostly be blank as well, with only a few entries in it at this time. Most are fairly early on and revealing nothing particularly incriminating (clothing choices, trips to the theater, and a record of a conversation with a friend about a pair of socialite ladies of their acquaintance). The entries and book will be dated. Two thus far of interest are a mention of a trip to Egypt, though with no further context, and an entry later in the journal about seeing "him" with a bruised face and worrying about him, expanded upon in three more entries at Christmas (2014) making the abuses much more clear though not who they were done by, ending with the final entry where the writer decides to do something about it.
~Glassicals: For Christmas (2013), the Earth gave Lyall back his glassicals-- or, more accurately, his monocular cross-magnification lenses with spectra-modifier attachment, which resemble a cross between binoculars and opera glasses. He hasn't entirely gotten the use of them down yet, but they seem useful, anyway.
~Waistcoat of holding: Not actually a magical object. This tastefully understated, brown pinstripe Victorian waistcoat has a myriad of little pockets inside, perfect for carrying small odds and ends if one wishes to be prepared for all occasions.
