Shepherd

rJack Shepherd was born on the beach. At least, that's the story he'll tell you; but his parents were surfers and he was surfing as soon as he was walking. Generally, he just goes by "Shepherd," because, "wouldn't you?" He doesn't really have much more ambition than that. To get by, he went into the carpentry business with his old man, eventually branching out into general handy-man work for a couple of small apartment buildings on the beach.

It was on the beach that he loved so much, that Shepherd met his end, embraced by another Surfer-Wolf called "Bodhi", who just "liked Shepherd's style, man". Bodhi hung around just long enough to show his childe the ropes and then took off on the road again - forever if he hasn't met his end yet.

Since then, nothing much has changed for the Surfer, though Shepherd only surfs at night now, and has taken to teaching martial arts to any of his surfer proteges willing to learn. He's also given up his apartment in favor of living on the beach, and in the Grungemobile.
