No, the character was not raped Grey. I did a lot of reading about Tigers in general- and about Weretigers in Shadowrun specifically. Were-creatures in Shadowrun, while intelligent, are more animal than human. Thus they have some of the same biological urges.
There are two Shadowrun novels that deal with Weretigers (I don't recomend reading either- they sucked). They make it very clear that a female Were-tiger goes into heat just like a normal beast.
When I put the character in the situation I explained all of this to him. I told him that if he could think of any reason why his character wouldn't mate that I would be ok with it. He couldn't.
I do have to say, Grey, your question got me thinking. I wrote another article on a different site called 'Rape in RPGs'. I may have to dust it off and submit it here.
