Werewolves

Werewolves are the holy warriors of Gaia, they believe in 3 forces of nature that are at work in everything, the Wyld, or raw creation, the Weaver stasis, gives stability to creation, and the Wyrm, or entropy, the force that eventually destroys everything so that the wyld can renew the cycle.

somewhere along the way the Weaver went mad, she was tired of the Wyrm destroying her work, and so entrapped the Wyrm in her webs. As the wyrm struggled to free itself it too went mad and resolved itself to it's fate, it began corrupting everything it could, since it could not fulfill it's purpose in it's ordaned way it would use it's immortal agents to seduce and corrupt the world and all within it, so far it has been very successful.

Most natural creatures, and untouched wilderness areas are havens of the Wyld where the Garou (what the werewolves call themselves) prefer to live. The battle the decay of the Wyrm wherever they see it and have 5 castes based on the moon, as well as three breeds.

the 5 Castes/Auspices are based on the phases of the moon, those born under the full moon are the warriors, the Ahroun; those born under the nearly-full moon are Galliards, the bards and lorekeepers of the werewolves. The Halfmoons are the Philodox, judges and wisemen of the werewolves. next are the priests and spiritualists, the Theurges born under a crescent moon, they excel at speaking with spirits better even than the philodox. Born under the New Moon are the last but not least the Ragabash, tricksters, thieves and vagabonds

the next group is Breeds, Lupus or those born as wolves, Homid, or those born human, and Metis, the deformed creatures that are a product of two werewolves mating, they are shunned and reviled by werewolf society as visual reminders of a violation of one of their most holy laws.

There are 13 tribes (once there were 16)

The Black Furies - An all female tribe of (originally)Greek descent
Bone Gnawers - City werewolves, they live among the homeless and trash of the cities, tend to be vary knowledgeable.
Children of Gaia - peacemakers of the werewolves, "Can't we all just get along"
Fianna - Werewolves from the British Isles, warriors, poets, and knowedgeable in the ways of the fae folk
Get of Fenris Viking werewolves, from Northern Europe they are a very proud, loud, and boisterous people (don't get along well with the Furies)
Glass Walkers - City Werewolves, unlike the Bone Gnawers they are the wealthy and powerful, many even rivalling established vampires in power and influence
Red Talons - All Wolf clan, made up entirely of lupus werewolves they have no tolerance for Glass Walkers or Bone Gnawers specifically, or homid werewolves in general
Shadow Lords Eastern European Werewolves, not the ruling tribe but they want to be, and use every trick they can think of to manipulate their way to the top
Silver Fangs - traditional rulers of the Garou, they tend to tie themselves to the nobility of local rulers, although madness has begun claiming the tribe.
Silent Striders Werewolves from ancient Egypt, forced to flee and never able to rest in their ancient homeland. also tend to attract ghosts
Stargazers - the most introspective of he werewolves, they seek mastery of their rage and are great philosophers, invented a martial art that takes advantage of the 5 forms werewolves can take.
Uktena - A tribe of mystics, they search the spiritworld for secrets and guard the resting places of great evil spirits that have been bested by the garou.
Wendigo - the second native american tribe (the other is the Uktena), they are bitter about the ravages of their native land by the european garou in the 16th-19th centuries, they are proud warriors similar to the Get of Fenris.

the lost tribes are the Croatan, who died to a man destroying a powerful avatar of the Wyrm known as Eater of Souls at Roanoke VA

the Bunyip, a tribe of Garou from Australia who were killed by the other tribes during the war of shame.

and finally the White Howlers, seduced and corrupted by the Wyrm this tribe is no longer a friend to Gaia and the Wyld, but a foul servant of the Wyrm (not available for PC's) now known as Black Spiral Dancers or BSD's.

there are some statistics that are determined by your choice for tribe/auspice/breed and these will be given based on your choices and character concept.

Werewolves also tend to dislike vampires as they are wyrmtainted, as well as being unnatural (dead things should stay dead)

if there is any info I may have glossed over I'll add it later.

I don't think any DM could promise that here, that is beyond their control sometimes, sometimes people just stop posting, but I know I will try my best to not jsut abandon it. Vampires are sweet.

LOL, All I can do is hope that there is more interest than there was for the ravenloft game, having all but 2 players drop out makes it hard to want to continue.

sounds good I have to check up on their specific clan abilities/weaknesses, you can feel secure that should anything... unfortunate happen to you your clan will avenge you, just don't get too ambitious too fast but that idea works for any vampire clan.

also there is a difference between how old you are, and your apparent age (age at death)

[Morgeruat]

sounds good, I'll also need a background written up and (preferrably) PMed to me.

Based on the background you pm to me I'll assign additional skills (firearms, athletics, science knowledge, etc, depending on the age of the sire for vampires you may have some added benefits, but the bonuses will be measured to make the playing field (relatively)fair for everyone)


I would advase against anyone playing the more militant werewolves (Get of Fenris, Black Furies, Fianna, Red Talons) as they would be more likely to kill vampires on sight (or smell for that matter), and it would make it hard to progress very far without everyone needing new characters constanly.
