Yes, it's a huge title graphic, but I refuse to apologise for that. The picture of Spike was just too perfect to pass up. So, what do we know about William The Bloody?
| background and history | known associations/acquaintances | past 'foiled schemes' |
| present situation | the slayer and the bloody |
| the accent and 'britishisms' |
AGE: Rupert Giles - a Watcher - reports it to be a little over 200; Spike himself has said that he's only 126 ( in "The Initiative"). The former is more trustworthy than Spike's scattered rememberances....
EYES: Blue.
HAIR: Naturally brown and a touch curly; now dyed blonde (which straightens the hair). [NB: This information was taken from pictures of the actor, James Marsters.]
HEIGHT: 5'10" (originally a guess, now verified by zero. *grin*)
WEIGHT: He's lean, is Spike.... 10 or 11 stone, I'd say. zero's guess is 150-160 lbs. Being useless with conversions, you're just going to have to pick the figure that suits you. ;-)
FAMILY: (18th June 2000) - James Marsters verified that Angelus is Spike's sire. Any rumours concerning Drusilla are wholly untrue - Joss changed his mind. Spike was turned by Angelus as a present for Drusilla while he was in the process of dumping her, and she was the one who 'raised' him while he was still young and vulnerable. This would make Drusilla and Penn his 'siblings', and Darla his 'grandsire' - and, if the Annointed One was the Master's childe, Spike would be little Colin's 'grand-nephew'. Or something.
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: Scar cutting through the left eyebrow, and some serious scarring on one of his legs. Also, if you're planning on writing a sex scene, please remember that Spike was formerly William - who was born in the UK. He would be uncircumcised.
NOTES: Spike speaks Fyoral, and has a working knowledge of Latin. Spike was described by James Marsters as "smelling of sex" - as opposed to Giles' mothballs, one would imagine. He is also a smoker.
This section has a page of its own due to excessive length (ain't that a scary thought). Have a look-see HERE. It was co-written with "Spiked and Skewered"'s very own SoulStarsinger. Many thanks.
