DID YOU KNOW? Wolves have around 280 million scent receptors compared to a human's measly 5 million. Not only can wolves track prey over a mile away, they can also know the health and well-being of their packmates just from a sniff.
Of course, thanks to the usual fairytale bullshit, Bigby's sense of smell is even stronger. When he's not dulling his senses with cheap cigarettes, he can be very attuned to to the scents of other people, especially those he's bonded with. What that means for you is that he loves to put his nose where he shouldn't, so let's establish some ground rules.
INFO
CHARACTER NAME:
SCENT DESCRIPTION: Natural odors, commonly used fragrances, etc. Get as dirty or flowery as you want here. He loves all of it. Feel free to include areas with stronger scents than others too.
SCENT BASED ABILITIES: Things like pheromones, for example. These can hit him extra hard if you would like, so please note any specific effects you might want.
ANYTHING ELSE: Go ahead and use this as catch-all for anything that might not be covered below, including major restrictions. If you would like to play out specific scenarios involving any of this, definitely let me know! Otherwise, always happy to go where the wind takes us.
CAN BIGBY...
REMEMBER AND TRACK THEIR SCENT? Depending on the level of CR, this can be as simple as picking up their lingering scent in places they’ve been to straight up knowing their current location, so feel free to specify how down bad he's allowed to be with them.
SMELL CHANGES TO THEIR MOOD/HEALTH? Can be as strong or nonexistent as you like.
SMELL IF THEY'RE AROUSED? Can be as strong or nonexistent as you like.
SMELL IF THEY JUST HAD SEX WITH SOMEONE ELSE? Can be as strong or nonexistent as you like. He might get jealous/possessive with established CR, so watch out!
SMELL WHEN THEY'RE IN HEAT/RUT? IF YES, CAN HE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? Can be as strong or nonexistent as you like. This will put him in a heat/rut too, but if you prefer him not to get that way with your character, please let me know.
SCENT MARK THEM IF HE'S IN A SUIT FLARE OR PARTIALLY TRANSFORMED? I might not be that big into omegaverse as a whole, but he's a fucking wolf. What do you want from me. Mainly reserved for established CR, but you never know!

INFO
CHARACTER NAME: Thancred Waters.
SCENT DESCRIPTION: He uses soaps that tend to smell kind of ocean-y, not quite "scented" so much as just a kind of fresh breezy sort of aroma. He also comes with notes of leather and gun oil! Also Guy™. He smells like Dude™. Imagine "a boyfriend's super comfy oversize sweatshirt" as an olfactory experience. Don't look at me you know he smells good as hell is what I'm saying.
SCENT BASED ABILITIES: I actually think it'd be funny if Bigby could smell that his aether is fucked up, since that is theoretically connected to his health/life force/whatever. Please feel free to play with this however you want, that there's just something sort of off about him, like how animals can tell when a person is sick except it's not so much "sick" as just "hmm, not quite right".
SCENARIOS: Thancred, survival and infiltration expert, would probably be so adorably offended by the prospect that he can be tracked by smell. They could talk shop about this. I also think that he needs to be marked up and scented and bitten a lot because that's hot tbh.
CAN BIGBY...
REMEMBER AND TRACK THEIR SCENT? As above, I think this would be incredibly funny (and frankly the more kind of vaguely-animal Bigby is at him, the more Thancred is going to think of Estinien being dragon-y at him, which is likewise a big positive). I also think it'd be funny for Bigby to get pissy about having his scent fade from certain items or objects and yelling at him to scent them up again. I cannot stress enough how much I love this sort of thing.
SMELL CHANGES TO THEIR MOOD/HEALTH? 100%. Could be the aether thing above, or that he's injured and hiding it — basically, if I put it in the narration and it seems reasonable for Bigby to pick up on you can probably assume it's there for you to play with. Get on his case about being a self-sacrificing idiot as you please.
SMELL IF THEY'RE AROUSED? Hilarious. Also hot. Yes please.
SMELL IF THEY JUST HAD SEX WITH SOMEONE ELSE? HILARIOUS. ALSO HOT. YES PLEASE. read him for filth like urianger. name all his conquests on scent alone. incredible. he'd be so embarrassed and kind of flattered at the possessiveness.
SMELL WHEN THEY'RE IN HEAT/RUT? IF YES, CAN HE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? Hot. Even if Thancred's not in heat/rut himself (that may be more a diamonds-exclusive thing and he's a clubs), please feel free to come at him. He will tank the rut. His stance is ON.
SCENT MARK THEM IF HE'S IN A SUIT FLARE OR PARTIALLY TRANSFORMED? Hell yes. Get him.
