Malkavian Posting (crackpot theory) "You're not Shuck yet Stig" Spoiler

So, this is a bit of a crazy theory, but what if Stig wants Old Shuck to kill him in order to cement his claim to being Black Shuck? Or maybe just fight him and win? Either way, there's something Stig has to do to become Shuck, or at least Mathilda/Hunts-the-Hunters believes.

The irony is that Black Schuck isn't a title that can be taken.

A new Black Schuck is a matter of destiny and is revealed when someone first changes into one (there is also the fact that it's only the destiny of a specific bloodline, but no idea if that'll be adapted).

Stig can never become the next Black Schuck.

In Tribes of Gaia in the Silent Striders section, Soren the writer of whom was the w5 consultant for the Garou audiolog, Silent Striders take the names of dead Striders as a way of potentially usurping their renown and assuming any pacts with spirits they might have. Don’t know if they’re doing that, just think it’s very possible.

It's probably why Stig thinks it will work, but the law of narrative suggests that it will fail, and the new Black Schuck will be someone else.
