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!

CHARACTER NAME: Kaname Date
SCENT DESCRIPTION: Date smells like a light rain type scented laundry detergent, a neutral smelling soap, and sweat (pos) instead of sweat (neg). If he's been drinking, there's a hint of bourbon scent on him as well. He doesn't wear any cologne or anything like that, but his clothes are very clean and he showers daily, sometimes multiple times a day because of (AITSF SPOILERS) the mask he wears 24/7 to hide his true face. Bigby will be able to tell that his face is a little sweatier than the rest of his body, a heavier scent around it like if he was wearing a hat or beanie and that comes from the mask. I imagine the mask to be more of a high tech face mask that changes his face shape than a full head thing with his hair dyed as well.
SCENT BASED ABILITIES: Date is a Diamonds! Which means he's more likely to go into heat/rut than any of the other suits as it's just part of the effects he has. So, Bigby is free to smell his arousal being more potent than a normal human being's would be.
SCENARIOS: Anything and everything, my friend! I do plan on Date going into heat sometime so would love to play out Bigby finding him like that. But otherwise, whatever scent based kink you want to explore, count me in.
CAN BIGBY...
REMEMBER AND TRACK THEIR SCENT? Absolutely can and please do. Date would find it kind of hot.
SMELL CHANGES TO THEIR MOOD/HEALTH? Yes! Date's mood is not always concurrent with how he presents himself so Bigby is totally allowed to pick up on any anxiety and tension in him that he doesn't always present. Same for health.
SMELL IF THEY'RE AROUSED? Date is horny all the time, please smell his arousal.
SMELL IF THEY JUST HAD SEX WITH SOMEONE ELSE? YES PLEASE YES.
SMELL WHEN THEY'RE IN HEAT/RUT? IF YES, CAN HE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? BROOOOO PLEASE. PLEASE!!!!!
SCENT MARK THEM IF HE'S IN A SUIT FLARE OR PARTIALLY TRANSFORMED? Yes 🙂 Please 🙂 If you don't give me this I'll die.

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.

CHARACTER NAME: Takuto Maruki
SCENT DESCRIPTION: Clean and crisp and very apple-forward, like an orchard on a cool autumn day. He might slap on aftershave on the days he does shave, but otherwise he just smells like himself! And if I said his shampoo was also apple-scented, what then....... oh he does also drink a lot of coffee, so that probably lingers too!
SCENT BASED ABILITIES: N/A TRAGICALLY I WISH HE HAD SOMETHING LIKE THIS nope just tentacles from his soul
SCENARIOS: god I am truly down for anything, as you'll see in the section below lmao
CAN BIGBY...
REMEMBER AND TRACK THEIR SCENT? Absolutely, and when they're in the resort Maruki is incapable of not exploring, so his scent will be everydamnwhere.
SMELL CHANGES TO THEIR MOOD/HEALTH? PLEASE. Mood-wise, he's more melancholy than he lets on at times, so if I drop any hints in brackets about that, feel free to have Bigby pick 'em up!! He also gets Persona-induced headaches not infrequently, sniff em out Bigs
SMELL IF THEY'RE AROUSED? Dear god blease
SMELL IF THEY JUST HAD SEX WITH SOMEONE ELSE? YEAH ♥ YES ♥
SMELL WHEN THEY'RE IN HEAT/RUT? IF YES, CAN HE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? DAWG IF I CAN GET MARUKI IN HEAT HE'D BETTER DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!! which is to say yes. As soon as I have an excuse to do this I will.
SCENT MARK THEM IF HE'S IN A SUIT FLARE OR PARTIALLY TRANSFORMED? christ yes

INFO
CHARACTER NAME: Dodger
SCENT DESCRIPTION: Cigarettes, cinnamon, whiskey and gasoline in order of strength. He favors hygiene products with sandalwood, cinnamon and vetiver, and his natural body odor has a sort of charcoal-ish quality to it. The gasoline smell is just part of his body, so no matter how much effort he puts into keeping himself clean he will always faintly smell like it, but it's especially obvious when he's sweaty (or bloody).
SCENT BASED ABILITIES: None but as a fun fact, Dodger cannot smell better than the average human but he does pay more attention to scents than others. So he can also track Bigby by scent to a certain (limited) extent. Also, Dodger's invisibility cannot cover up his scent, and his teleportation only makes it somewhat fainter for the second or so while he's moving, so Bigby should have no trouble tracking him even with powers involved.
SCENARIOS: Given how often Dodger says he tracked someone by scent like it's a normal thing to say I just think it's really funny to flip the tables on him.
CAN BIGBY...
REMEMBER AND TRACK THEIR SCENT? Absolutely! Up to an including knowing Dodger's exact geographic location.
SMELL CHANGES TO THEIR MOOD/HEALTH? Absolutely! Might be the only way to know what he's feeling half the time dkfnltkhn
SMELL IF THEY'RE AROUSED? Absolutely! Might be the only thing he can smell on him sometimes actually.
SMELL IF THEY JUST HAD SEX WITH SOMEONE ELSE? LMAO with how much Dodger gets around there is probably ALWAYS a smell from someone else on him, mostly Henry, possibly multiple someones. So yes absolutely and he welcomes the jealousy.
SMELL WHEN THEY'RE IN HEAT/RUT? IF YES, CAN HE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? Dodger still has some of that breeding heat slime stockpiled from November so GENUINELY this is something we can play with whenever. Watch him put himself in heat on purpose knowing exactly what it's gonna do to Bigby.
SCENT MARK THEM IF HE'S IN A SUIT FLARE OR PARTIALLY TRANSFORMED? Please please please please please-

CHARACTER NAME: Justine
SCENT DESCRIPTION: She uses florals a lot, but mostly roses. Roses are her signature scent and she surrounds herself with it. It's in her hair, her soaps, everything she uses.
SCENT BASED ABILITIES: Nothing, sob. She's just a lady.
SCENARIOS: Oh I am down for anything. Truly. Always.
CAN BIGBY...
REMEMBER AND TRACK THEIR SCENT? Oh please let's play with this because Justine would LOVE to fuck with him if she found out. Playing a game of hide and seek or leaving her panties somewhere for him to find because she's a BRAT.
SMELL CHANGES TO THEIR MOOD/HEALTH? Yup! Go for it!
SMELL IF THEY'RE AROUSED? Oh she doesn't hide it but yuuuup
SMELL IF THEY JUST HAD SEX WITH SOMEONE ELSE? She finds nothing hotter than when men get possessive of her, so this might be trouble. Which means yes, absolutely.
SMELL WHEN THEY'RE IN HEAT/RUT? IF YES, CAN HE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? Absolutely and yes.
SCENT MARK THEM IF HE'S IN A SUIT FLARE OR PARTIALLY TRANSFORMED? I am SO down

CHARACTER NAME: Robert Robertson III
SCENT DESCRIPTION: He smells like soap and sadness probably. awlkejf NO probably a general 'clean' smell, he's not a fancy bath products type of guy. If he's been working out, a lil sweaty, but he takes care of his hygiene. He smells Normal, if you will. He has Bad eating habits so he might also smell like candybars or twinkies or whatever he just ate.
SCENT BASED ABILITIES: HE'S JUST A GUY, I'm afraid. Although his suit is also Diamonds, so he is in the "falls into heat easier than other suits" category.
SCENARIOS: I am truly down for anything. Help him out with a heat flare, Bigby. Track him by scent like Good Pals do.
CAN BIGBY...
REMEMBER AND TRACK THEIR SCENT? Yes he can! To any level you desire.
SMELL CHANGES TO THEIR MOOD/HEALTH? Yes! So you know how I said he kind of smells like sadness, he probably actually does sometimes. Although he's a recovering sad guy. If he ever gets hurt or anything I think that would be pretty obvious too but Bigby is welcome to smell it on him. There is also a little freak inside Robert that just begs to escape a lot so.
SMELL IF THEY'RE AROUSED? Yes! Although he would probably just be like I thought it was obvious that I'm flirting with you Bigby.
SMELL IF THEY JUST HAD SEX WITH SOMEONE ELSE? Totally fine.
SMELL WHEN THEY'RE IN HEAT/RUT? IF YES, CAN HE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? YES AND YES.
SCENT MARK THEM IF HE'S IN A SUIT FLARE OR PARTIALLY TRANSFORMED? Robert would genuinely be like what the actual fuck Bigby but if it ever happens, yes I am ok with this LMAO.
