it is not required to be a seasoned Fable fan: we have a Youtube Playthrough available of the game, in addition to the Fable wiki, and we're always available for musing/plotting/canon reviewing.
The basics about this smug snake:
Immortal, for as long as he remembers to sacrifice a mortal to the Shadow Court every year. 300+ years old.
Is a Hero of Skill: an expert marksman, he never misses a shot.
An ex-pirate and lord of Bloodstone, the port haven for pirates, streetwalkers and bandits. Amongst other criminals and illegal businesses.
The CEO of Reaver Industries, his factories are run by children and only children. Reaver Industries products range from tea-pots to steam-hats to peasant-prodders to machinery to skivvy (cheap dog food processed from human corpses, Barry's least favourite scooby snack) to weapons.
Money makes his world go world.
And sex. Have I mentioned the sex? We can't forget the sex. Reaver beds anything with a pulse. Anything. He's inclined to bed someone because he or she is on the other side of the room. Queen, peasant, bandit, streetwalker, werecreature, men, women. Reaver is a kinky devil and has just about indulged in all Plays: Impact Play, flogging, whips, single-tails and other ??tails; Humiliation Play; cross-dressing, corsets & tight-lacing; bondage/restraints, racks, pink fuzzy handcuffs, chains, stocks, cages, abduction; animals, rabbits & chickens ala the werecreature Balverine; Sensory deprivation; Tie & Tease, orgasm control/denial/delay and others.Hosts a Secret Society orgy every week. Uses and abuses his staff on a daily basis; every now and then he hires a new model.
Dorian Gray archetype: he's the epitome of sin and beauty-slash-youth.
Is in love with gold.
Is inclined to shoot anyone because why not? He's only missed once, drunk in Bowerstone Industrial. It's a shame that Hobson didn't die.
Is enamoured with Balverines. Bark, bark.

His role in the game: He's only the bloody CEO of Reaver Industries, and still has ties with the Royal Court. Apart from that, just about anything-goes; this RPG is an open-sandbox and runs on individual character pursuits, story-lines, relationships, goals, motivations, et cetera. The staff don't hand out plots or hold anybody's hand when it comes to playing in the sandbox.
I play Barry Hatch, Reaver's manservant. Voiced by Jonathan Ross. As this is an AU game, Barry survived the balverine attack. Therefore, he can transform into a canine-bat werewolf monster. He's not fond of it much, because the cravings for human flesh: he can do without that.
It's imperative that Reaver's new player understands and/or is willing to research ridiculous amounts of BDSM lifestyles, Master & Slave/Submissive relationships, Sadomasochism, Sadism and whatnot. Especially Protocols & Rituals. Google should become Reaver player's best friend. Hatch's lewd manners leave little to be desired; Reaver is a hypocrite, and in his opinion Hatch always needs to be corrected. With a whip. In that god-forsaken Pleasure Chamber.
I don't know how much more thorough I can be regarding aforementioned details. Playing Reaver involves exploring dark, taboo, toxic, kinky story-lines. Yet, I snag players who are surprised to learn that Reaver's role involves ________. Please, don't apply for the role if you have no intention of exploring Reaver's (leading) dark side; or if you have absolutely no idea what _____ entails, and the instant you're given a run-down of it, you do a runner.
Hatch and I are tired of this game. Games of this nature should be left IC.
