Casting, perhaps, a Werewolf/Kinfolk RPG?

[PoliteSuccubus]

If you've ever played White Wolf Werewolf game, you know what I mean. If not, you can still play if you are intrested.

So, the thought is this..........

Setting: A carnaval, what better way for a pack to blend and move where they need to go? Hidden in the obvious. Traveling up and down the 101, Washington to Mexico.

Needed:
Werewolves, Shamanstic warriors against evil who seem human, but aren't.
Kinfolks (humans related to the Garou, but not Garou themselves to be the lovers and helpers of the Garou)
Other Humans who interact (if you don't want to play often, but just wander in and out this might be good)
and foes (Vampires, Evil Corporations, Spiral Dancers *bad Garou*, Goverment Agents

Today is the 2ed of December, I'll wait two weeks and see if anyone is intrested.

Please, if you have something in mind you'd like to play please say so.

Interested in playing...

I'm very new here. I'm still trying to get how your system works. But WTA and HTR are my favorite tabletop games, so I'd like to see if I could be involved in a Werewolf game you play here.

Thanks,
Aaron

I'm not familiar with the games but your idea sounds very interesting. Could you expand a little on Garou??

I'd like to be a werewolf too.

A Little About Garou

The World Mother Gaia created the Garou as her warriors and protectors. Born as human children they always feel a little apart from everyone else, very James Deanish as it were. Sometime after puberty something will trigger their frist "Rage" and they will form shift and useually rain bloody carnage down on anyone unlucky to have triggered it. Usually a guide or guides appear and help them manage the transistion and/or run from the law as needed.

Based off of Shamanstic myths of North America these Werewolves fight both on the earthly plane and the spirit plane to defend and protect Gaia (the Earth), Humans, and each other from a wide host of evil things and people.

Kinfolk are those who are born into the bloodline, but never cross over into being a Garou. They are important for a lot of reasons; they can see Werewolves in all their forms without being driven mad, can mate with humans and Garou (Garou who mate with Garou bred malformed monsters called Metis), don't have the strengths such as being able to shift from plane to plane, rapid healing etc, but also don't suffer their weaknesses such as haveing to manage the Rage, so forth and so on.

When we have, if we get, about six writer/players I will give out more detailed info to those who need it.

OK?

Oh, in the words of one of my real live players : Garou are kick ass bad Mo'Fo Eco-Warriors!

Im very intrested in joining your thread. The idea of being a werewolf doesn't intrest me, but combating them sounds like a challenge.

Heres my Idea, maybe something to add to the mix. Now I noticed you said you were looking for people to play vampires, Gov. Agents, etc etc. Well I was thinking, taking the Idea from the movie Vampires, maybe there could be something in the line of a team of men who hunt Werewolfs. Seeing how there will be Vampires, why wouldn't the church hunt down Werewolfs? I think it would be a nice twist, vampires against man and werewolf, werewolf against man and vampire, and Humans against Vampires and Werewolfs, has the potential for alot of blood spilling, might even mean two sides joining forces to destroy the other. Well let me know, I dont mind playing the roles, don't even mind being killed. . . as long as I can take a few down with me.

 

[EarthWind]

Ah ha!! I knew what a Metis is, so not all is lost!!

I could write as more than one character, even if some of them die.

Still interested in joining.. thinking maybe being a Garou could
be fun fun!! hehe all that RAGE!!

So, I have three players, one bad guy, myself.....Is that right? We need at least one more, but for those of you who want to play I want you to think of your charcters, and for those of you wanting to play a Garaou......A one sentence description that sums up your characters driving force.

Such as my Rana *the Alpha Female of the story*. Cub seeker, finder of the hidden. That sums her up.

She has her "real" name that she earned in battle "Callstohunt", which she has leagally adopted as her last name.

So, when you met her, she will intro herself as Rana Callstohunt, tho that was not her birth name.


We'll wait a bit longer and see if anyone else wants to come play with us and then I will post the set up and help with any characters questions for set up.

OK?

 

[Roughneck]

Sounds good to me, looking forward to locking horns with you guys. I hope someone comes around whos willing to play a vampire. Well I have my Char. or if Im the only bad guy, Chars ready to meet the challenge.

Would you be willing to have a Tzimisce floating around somewere?

Perhaps an elder looking after someone's decendants as payment for a debt, finding that the family has married into the Garou circle, and the person may be a garou or a kinfolk.

The elder, waking up after a long sleep remembering a promise he made to those that protected his rest, to keep watch over that family when he arises, searching for the decendants of that family in the new world, in some place called "America", only to find out that this blighted new world has lupines in it, and finaly finding the one he promised to watch over...and having to deal with garou and other annoying creatures to do it.

 

[Roughneck]

A *Bump* and a question. When will we start this thread, just wondering.

Game Start

If everyone will PM me this weekend what they want to play I'll begin the main story line.

To warm up:

The vice president of EnviroData came home to the comfort of his suite. As always the opulent decadence of his suite comforted and warmed him. It was a symbol of his success that he had these things, and a sign of power among those he dealt with, of mastery.

However, after he had set down his keys and briefcase on the oak sideboard in the entryway but before he could turn on the lights the lamp at his desk flicked on and revealed an unwanted and unwelcome guest.

"About time you showed up." the lean dark haired woman said to him simply as she sat on his desk.

"What are you doing here, Rana, and how did you get in." He asked, his thin lips compressing into invisibility as he walked angrily to the desk.

"Now is that anyway to talk to someone who not only saved your life," Her fingernail flicked one of the crystals hanging from the Tiffany lamp on his desk. "But your lifestyle as well, and all that data crap?" She hopped off his desk and stood easily and grinned at him. "And as for how I got in, well, you should know that, if nothing else."

"I see." He bit off the words tersely. "And now it’s payback time?"

"It’s...proposal time." Rana tilted her head, her green eyes glowing with mischief and excitement and her grin would of affected anyone else to return it. "I want something, and you Glass Walkers are able to help me get what I want. But, I know how you all are, so..." She gestured about the room. "Into the world of men that you worry about property and propriety. I saved your life, and you at least owe me the half hour it would take for you to listen."

"All right." He straightened his tie and his composure, somewhat relieved that he wasn’t getting blackmailed, but unsure of what the Strider really wanted. She was a fey one, Calls-to-Hunt, and while no one had ever said she was untrustworthy, the word was that her own agenda was the only one she followed.

"I require quite a lot of money, in a short amount of time for a venture I think will benefit a great many people." She began as she toured the room, looking at his art work.

"Yourself included, I can only assume." He remarked bitterly.

"Of course! Don’t be silly. But, if it were only for myself, I wouldn’t do it. I am not selfish." She shot him a look of irritation. "Being a Glass Walker I know you wouldn't understand what it like for most of us outside. Especially us Striders. We can’t settle anywhere long before the road calls us, or a mission, or a hunt.

"And the cubs, how many are we missing? How many are lost to us? I have thought of a way to have a bit of permanent, be able to deliver messages and goods and people under the noses of those who watch, and more..." She crossed to the desk and perched on the edge, ignoring his wince.

"I want you and your sept to fund me to buy and run a traveling carnival." She said seriously.

"A what?" The disbelief and shock was obvious on his pasty face.

"Before you say no, I want you to consider a few things." She began ticking them off on her fingers. "Carnivals are basically their own traveling towns, have a high turnover of people as employees, have a cash only business, have access to throngs of people where ever they go...better to look for new cubs and foes..." She looked at him seriously. "I want to have children someday, but I can’t stay in one little house somewhere and wait to have them. I want to offer a refuse for cubs, metris, and child bearing women as well as further our goals. This truly can be a good thing."

As she talked his mind had been turning it over, resistant at first, but gradually seeing the possibilities emerging. "Truthfully," he said slowly, "At first I thought you were crazy, but...I find the idea has some merits. But I don’t think you have planned it all out carefully..." He raised a brow.

"Well, you’d be right. I had the idea and thought if it could hold water I could get someone to at least think about helping me, then do the planning." She shrugged. "If it didn’t, then why do all that extra work when there are other things to be doing."

"If I go to my sept with this, what would I say your primary goals would be with this venture?" He pulled a pen from his pocket and began to take notes.

"Primary goals? To...Have an established place, to gather and train cubs for testing, to...have a place to hide if that was needed, to...provide a meeting place..." She frowned a bit. "I don’t know exactly what your asking, but, I had a dream of what it could be. Help me make it happen."

Finally, showing a warmth she had never seen in any of his kind before, he smiled. "I will. Let’s make up a business plan and go from there, shall we?"

The story begins later, when the Luna Lupa is up and running and she is hireing people towork it.
