Werewolf: The Forsaken - Blank It

Primary Renown: None. Ghost Wolf characters start
play with two rather than three dots of Renown. At least
one of those dots must be assigned to the auspice’s primary
Renown.
Tribal Gift Lists: Ghost Wolves may choose their
starting tribe Gift(s) from either of the open lists, Father
Wolf’s Gifts or Mother Luna’s Gifts.
Organization: Ghost Wolves do not organize among
themselves, being more of a classification than a structured
group. They’re loners, going their own way in hopes
of finding a cure for their condition or a way to live with
it. Most Ghost Wolves seek to integrate themselves at least
peripherally into local Uratha society, however, despite
any philosophical and spiritual grounds of disagreement.
They trade favors and information with other packs in
return for guarantees of safe passage through others’ territories
or for help dealing with personal threats that are
too big for any single werewolf to handle. Some even join
packs, believing in the need to be with their own kind
even if they don’t care for the creeds of the tribes.
Lodges: While there are some small, geographically
based networks of acquainted Ghost Wolves in a smattering
of places, there are no true Ghost Wolf lodges.
Territories: Some Ghost Wolves try to treat their
normal home as if it were their territory, sticking to the
same house and neighborhood in which they’ve always
lived and raiding a nearby locus as needed. Most who do
so, however, find themselves holed up within an established
pack’s territory, and the inevitable confrontation
results in the Ghost Wolf being run off or forced to get in
line with the established werewolves’ agenda and to work
with (or for) them. Other Ghost Wolves give up on the
idea of marking out their own territory altogether, drifting
from territory to territory instead and staying for as long as
the good graces of the areas’ rightful protectors last.
Concepts: fugitive, bounty hunter, envoy between
feuding territories, shaman on an endless vision-quest,
grifter, lost cub, spirit-mercenary
Quote: Fine, it’s tougher than it looks — you happy?
Fortunately, I know some folks who deal with this sort of thing
full time, and they still owe me a favor.
STEREOTYPES
Blood Talons: I know some things are worth
fighting for and even dying for, but to these guys,
fighting itself is worth living for. I get that kind of
conviction, but I don’t have it.
Bone Shadows: I can talk to spirits and even
cut a deal sometimes, but I’ve never understood
‘em like these guys do.
Hunters in Darkness: Just knowing these
guys are out there, unseen and doing their
thing, makes me feel a little better… except
when I know I’ve screwed up or I’ve got something
to hide.
Iron Masters: These guys can take anything
in stride, no matter how bizarre or unexpected.
Maybe if I could have done that when it
counted…
Storm Lords: Being respectfully wary of
them without ever treating them as anything
other than equals usually keeps us seeing eye to
eye. Usually.

Pure Tribes: At least the Tribes of Luna respect
me about as much as I respect them. These
bastards don’t even try.
Vampires: I don’t like being nervous, and
finding out that these things are real and that
they’re out there in numbers — that makes me
real nervous.
Mages: Each one’s got some weird, unique,
awesome power that answers to no one but him.
Trust me, there’s no way that’s a good thing.
Humans: I trusted my last human friend
with the truth about what I am, and damned
if she didn’t act like she almost pitied me. I still
look in on her once in a while, but I haven’t
spoken to her since.
