I'm so interested in the Forsaken, the way they think as primal beings, as part-wolf, part-spirit creatures, I sometimes forget about their human side. So I'm interested: what kinds of things do your werewolves get up to in their humans lives? Jobs, family, hobbies, and so on.

[zenten]

Well, there are three werewolves in the pack at the moment, one works parttime in a bookstore and gets up to less than legal things to suppliment her income, another is living off money that she was supposed to put towards university but dropped out, and is also turning to theft and whatnot (they picked up a big stash of drugs from someone killed by a spirit claimed their hunting a few games ago that she pocketed and is selling slowly), and the third works for the province as an ecologist doing a full survey of the don valley system, and the packs locus happens to be in that system.

My character started out as a snowboarder, but recently he's more turned into an investment broker. Our pack destroyed a skinriding Beshilu who had consistently been abusing the wife. When she saw her husband's skin fall to pieces and expose a giant rat, she went insane. We left the discorperated Beshilu shard-rats in the house just long enough to drive the price down to the point where we could afford it when the family eventually sold it off, then cleased it the week after our purchase.

Since then, I've picked up several insurance investments, and another property in the town. We're using the old Animalism investment trick: make the area you want to buy infested with vermin, buy it, then thank the critters and send them on their merry way. Infest then invest.

In our game, the PCs have very little spare time due to their duties, as their lives and those of people they know are threatened on a rather regular basis. In their spare time, they try to hold on jobs (someone has to pay for food, after all), participate in the mating game, train, have conversations with friends and allied spirits, party, hunt unlucky humans, etc.

Not if they are high-harmony, they don't.

Well, some of them also have to provide for mortals.

Before his first change, my character for Omar98's chronicle, Khalon Zamora - Bone Shadow Elodoth, was a Santero - a priest of Santeria, the way of the Saints. He remained an active practitioner after the change . . .

Sounds cool. In parallel, the Catholic priest werewolf on the mod is actually one of the most interesting characters in the Rockies. He's also a Bone Shadow, and he made that choice in character after he change. Something about the Bone Shadows seems to lend itself to priests. Probably the Wisdom renown.

I'm also reminded of an amusing idea for a character I had: Uratha amateur aviator. The concept speaks for itself. I also feel like it doesn't have to be an Iron Master, it could be a Storm Lord.

The Storm Lord Irraka I play in the local game here is a political/business journalist for a small newspaper, but since taking on his duties as the pack alpha in combo with his rising Primal Urge, this has been getting more and more difficult as he's finding it even more difficult trying to get people to spill their beans when they're instantly uneasy around him because of his werewolf side.

Hurray for people who understand how to use Evasion, at the very least.

Loose Tongue (Evasion *) has proven to be quite useful on occasion, as has Sand in the Eyes (Evasion **). After all, what pack wouldn't benefit from the ability to learn their targets secrets and then make them forget exactly what was said or even who they were talking to . . .

--------------------

Back on topic, a political/business journalist is a fine occupation for a Storm Lord Irraka and makes for some interesting roleplaying opportunities, nicely done.

[Leaps-from-Shadows]

My Meninna Elodoth serves as a Deputy Sheriff. It's been less than two months since his First Change (and two weeks since his Rite of Initiation), but he wants to keep up both sides of his nature. We'll see if he has any success in the next few months of game sessions.

[Scatha]

*Waves* Kinda new to Forsaken, although it has not changed very drastically from W:tA and pondering on a bit of a radical character concept.

The main idea is to keep him as a city dweller, which makes the tribe rather obvious, an Irraka that works as a silversmith/weaponsmith, pending of course on the silver allergy the werewolf has. (although I recall W:tA having an option of picking an immunity to silver)

*tugs Walks in shadows on his tail* Well dawggie, I am here as promised.

[Luxifer]

My Ithaeur Iron Master is joining the Lodge of Lightning.
He's also the alpha. Currently he's a software engineer and is starting to become involved in City Planning.

[TSHamby]

Scatha,

Welcome aboard, partner. Hope to be seeing more of ya around here. Oh, by the way, be careful of the silver weaponry, to use such against another Uratha is a Harmony sin and leads to degeneration.

--------------------

Luxifer,

A position as a City Planner would be a real boon to his pack and their territory. Keep us posted, will ya?

[Luxifer]

he's putting his skills into city planning now that he's a forsaken. So far it's kinda fun.

[Vampir]

I'm going to start my first game on Sunday, and as for now my character is a homeless man with the Iron Stomach Merit so he just eats what he can find. If he needs money, there's always someone won't mind giving a few cents to the homeless, and if that won't work... he still has claws

hybridfive: Yes, the Evasion gifts are something the character is concentrating on with his activities, both in game time and downtime. Am also hoping that he will be joining the Lodge of Crows at some stage when his Cunning is high enough (he's currently on Cunning 3). Just gotta work out a way to cause the increase in-character now... *grins deviously*
