Rats & Wolves


Characters


Joining either Sept is mainly a matter of recognition and approval by the Sept Elders. IC, one can assume much truthsaying and soul-scanning is performed to insure a spy, psycho, or Wyrm-corrupted werewolf isn't allowed into the caern sanctum, warren, or office of the board.

The only real limitation is in Rank. No character of Rank 5 is permitted. This has less to do with potential power abuse and more to do with illogical social stratification. The leaders of the Septs are and always will be background NPCs that will almost never be seen (except in plotlines a player may choose to run). Black Spiral Dancers and Wyrm-fallen allies are not to be played in the RaW game but instead the Shades of Darkness (SoD) game. When submitting your character's name for the TUG's roster, include only if the character is to be in the Sept or not (as would all non-Garou). Kinfolk allied with their respective Tribes and Breeds, even if they aren't considered members of the Septs per se, will be listed here.

Below is a current character roster of those PCs involved in RaW. Even the most basic information regarding these characters (Tribe, Auspice) must be discovered IC. Only the name of the player of the character will be listed; contacting said player is left to his peers' devices (using the mailing list is a good idea).

The NPC Elders are as follows, noting that all of them occupy primary Sept positions and are at least Rank 4. But their stats are not listed -- this is left solely to the imagination of any player who wishes to use them in a plotline.

  • Caesar Benitulli (Jeremiah Industries Master of the Challenge/Glass Walkers)
  • Father Mac Stone (Memory Lane Sept Leader/Bone Gnawers)
  • Graffiti-of-Blood “The Rat King” (Scattered Bones Warren King/Rat Race)
  • Helena May Jeremiah “Vision-Without-Age” (Jeremiah Industries Sept Leader/Glass Walkers)

    Packs


    The formation of packs and deceits in the Rats & Wolves game is strictly voluntary and personal. They are well-advised, both IC and OOC. Players wishing to run plots can more effectively wind them around established (or establishing) packs instead of random characters. Furthermore, Garou and Ratkin are pack-minded creatures. The acquisition of a pack Totem is also voluntary, but earning the spirits’ favor is the players’ responsibility (of course) to play out, as there are no official Storytellers in the TUGs.
