themselves. You never know when there will he a shortage of
something essential for survival, and you will not risk heing
caught empty-handed. You pattern yourself after the squirrel,
who spends his days gathering food against the hard times.
Vision: You regain Willpower whenever your hoarding
instinct pays off, especially when others are in need.
Taboo: Never willingly surrender anything you have
gained for yourself.
Outcast
You have turned away from your own people and walk
your own path. You owe nothing to anyone and allow no one
to owe you anything. This is the way you prefer it. Although
you may cooperate with others for a time, you will never be
part of anything larger than yourself. The world begins and
ends with you. You pattern yourself after the lone wolf, cast
out from his pack and preferring to exist on his own.
Vision: Whenever you prove that you do not need
anyone or anything to survive, you regain Willpower.
Taboo: Never permanently associate yourself with any
group or individual.
Raider
You are the bringer of terror, the silent attacker, the
stealer of what you need or want. You enjoy fighting, so long
as you win. The weak and helpless are your prey; what they
have is yours if you are strong enough to take it. Why work,
when you can steal what you want? You pattern yourself after
the magpie, who takes whatever catches her eye.
Vision: Regain Willpower whenever you get something
without earning it or carry out a successful "raid."
Taboo: Never waste your time in "honest" effort.
Scalp-Taker
You have a violent streak that makes itself known by
your vindictiveness. If you have been wronged, you seek not
only to avenge yourself, but to do so in such a way as to forever
mark the one who wronged you. You also have a passion for
collecting proof of your vengeance. Like the warriors who
once took the scalps of their victims as evidence of their kills,
you always come away from your actions with some physical
relic of your success. You pattern yourself after the lynx, who
toys with her victims before she kills them.
Vision: You regain Willpower whenever you succeed in
bringing back proof that you have accomplished your goal.
Taboo: Never tail to boast about your accomplishments.
Spoiler
You cannot abide the success of others. In order for you
to feel that you have done anything, you must make someone
else feel that they have accomplished nothing. Humiliation
and ridicule are your favorite tools, and you will go out of your
way to belittle what others have done—especially when your
own achievements are threatened. You pattern yourself after
fire, which destroys what cannot stand up to it.
Vision: Whenever you make yourself look good at
someone else's expense, you gain Willpower.
Taboo: Never acknowledge the achievements of others.
Troublemaker
You cannot leave well enough alone. You are only content
when you are busily undermining the efforts of others or spreading
dissension among those around you. You enjoy feeding the
fire underneath the cooking pot and watching it boil over. Any
day that passes without an argument you have caused is a day that
has been wasted. You pattern yourself after the blue jay, whose
quarrelsome nature makes him a pest among the birds.
Vision: Regain Willpower whenever you turn a peaceful
situation into chaos or cause dissension between formerly
agreeing parties.
Taboo: Never turn your back on an opportunity to
meddle.
Witch
You have seen the power of the spirits, and you want it for
yourself. You are not afraid of dealing with dark and evil
inhabitants of the Lower World in order to better your position.
You covet the secrets of destruction, and seek knowledge that
most would consider forbidden. Any power you have, you use to
advance yourself, regardless of what it costs. You pattern yourself
after the owl, who commands the powers of darkness and silence.
Vision: Regain Willpower whenever you use your skills
or your Arts to enhance your personal power.
Taboo: Never do anything for anyone without exacting
a price.
Midseason (Laurel)
Legacy
Trickster
Everything has a purpose, but sometimes that purpose is
taken much too seriously. Laughter is what spurs you, laughter
at others and laughter at yourself. You cannot resist
making others look foolish or deflating those who have too
high an opinion of themselves. You see what you do as
important in helping those around you gain the proper
perspective on life. Nothing is so important that it cannot be
made fun of. You pattern yourself after the raven and the
coyote, who are the natural pranksters of the animal realm.
Vision: Regain Willpower whenever you keep others
from taking themselves too seriously, or when you transform
a solemn occasion into a farce.
Taboo: Never fail to find the humor in any situation.
