Werewolf: The Forsaken - Blank It

236
Chapter IV: Storytelling and Antagonists
Background: Not every offspring a werewolf has is necessarily
going to go through a First Change. The great majority
remain human from the moment they’re born to the moment
they die. Most languish in ignorance, never realizing that
their heritage is any different from those of the people around
them. Some discover the truth, however, when a sibling
goes through his First Change or a long-lost parent shows up
unexpectedly to warn of some bizarre but imminent danger.
Those that have a stronger measure of werewolf blood are
somewhat resistant to the Lunacy, and are slightly more sensitive
to the workings of the spirit world. Some wolf-blooded
who know the truth about the People’s existence are willing
to contribute aid and favors toward their relatives’ unusual
goals, but others resent and rightfully fear the monsters that
have been revealed as part of their lives all along.
Description: Functionally, wolf-blooded men or
women look no different from any average men or women.
They dress as expected for their job and social status, and
no hint of their spiritual or feral ancestry shows in their
features. Those who are aware of their heritage or who interact
with their werewolf family members regularly, tend
to develop a slightly harried, paranoid look.
Storytelling Hints: The wolf-blooded hunter knows
that he’s no match for a werewolf pack, but he also knows
that he can’t ignore their existence. Sooner or later, they’ll
be back. He might be an ally for the right kind of pack, or he
might be the kind of hunter who knows to pack silver bullets
and won’t lose his mind when confronted with the Lunacy.

FEDERAL AGENT
Quote: “It’s good of you to take the time to talk to me.
Now, please tell me again what you told my partner for the
tape, speaking clearly and loudly. Thank you.”
Background: The US government doesn’t know that
werewolves are out there, but a few agents have their suspicions.
While the average government employee has no
more idea about the reality of the world than the average
man on the street, a select group of federal agents devotes
their energy to tracking, reporting and, if necessary, dealing
with crimes that don’t seem to add up.
Description: Federal agents have a habit of looking
the same regardless of their particular specialties. Those
involved in tracking werewolves and their ilk go out of
their way to look exactly like you’d expect a federal agent
to look: smart, inexpensive suit, concealed weapon and
wallet with the appropriate credentials.
Storytelling Hints: Federal agents are investigators,
not soldiers. An agent arrives in a pack’s territory to gather
information and intelligence, not to get into a fight with
elements beyond her control or understanding. Most try
to keep as low a profile as possible, while still making their
presence widely enough known that people with appropriate
information will come forward. An agent walks the
difficult line between being open to information about the
supernatural, without actually seeming to accept the idea
that it exists.

THE PURE TRIBES
The ancient tales maintain that not all of the werewolves
chose to participate in the replacement of Father
Wolf. While many of the Uratha stepped up to do what
had to be done, the ancestors of those who call themselves
the Pure held back out of indecision (or possibly fear).
They shared in their cousins’ inheritance of Rage, but
rather than accepting the duty of defending the material
world against the ravages of the spirits, they turned
their newfound power against their brothers and sisters
instead. Now they live apart from the Tribes of the Moon,
gathered in a culture tied together by hate — the hate
their totems hold for the Forsaken, a hate they share. They
refuse to respect the boundaries of Forsaken pack territo-
