Reg Shoe - Discworld Character Biography
Character Bio
Reg Shoe is a fervent advocate for the rights of the undead, passionately leading the Fresh Start Club in Ankh-Morpork. As a zombie, he is both a literal and metaphorical embodiment of the struggle for acceptance and equality in a city teeming with diverse beings. His dedication to social justice and his unyielding spirit make him a significant figure in the Discworld's exploration of life, death, and everything in between.
Physical Appearance
Reg Shoe is a somewhat decayed zombie, with a complexion that can best be described as 'earthy' and a body that shows the wear and tear of having been buried and subsequently exhumed. His clothing is a mix of what he was buried in and what he has managed to acquire since, often resulting in a mismatched ensemble of tattered suits and odd shoes. His eyes, though sunken, still carry a spark of determination, and his limbs, occasionally reattached, add to his distinctive, shambling gait. Despite his undead state, Reg maintains a certain dignity, often seen with a placard advocating for undead rights, which he carries with a sense of purpose.
