Werewolf: The Forsaken - Blank It

ies, and they can appear out of the darkness to oppose
the werewolves at every turn. Whispered stories around
the fires tell of werewolves who hate everything created
and cherished by mankind, or werewolves whose insane
zeal blinds them to all reason. The young and inexperienced
have much to dread from the cult-army of the Pure,
and even veteran Forsaken fear the werewolves of the Pure
Tribes above many other foes.
Note: The following werewolves’ traits include trait
modifications as per changes in form where those modifications
are appropriate. The breakdown is as
follows: Hishu (Dalu/Gauru/Urshul/Urhan).
FIRE-TOUCHED DEACON
Quote: “Luna’s
powerful, but she’s
just one spirit. Her
endorsement
doesn’t put you
in the right. It doesn’t
excuse what you are.”
Background:
Young Fire-Touched are taught to
hunt and fight by their elders, while
simultaneously learning about the
crimes of the Tribes of Luna and the
gruesome ritual punishments they
reserve for them. Not all survive such
a harsh introduction to the werewolf
life, but those who do survive grow
strong quickly, eschewing Hishu and
Urhan for Dalu and Urshul much
of the time. They also gain a rabid
zeal that grows to fanatical intensity
rapidly. While a Forsaken pack is
an even match for a pack of young
Fire-Touched, the inevitable conflict
will be a bloody one.
Description: Fire-Touched
cubs still maintain some vestige of
their pre-Change heritage, sometimes
even wearing clothes that
remind them of the jobs they
once held before the Change.
Most have already acquired a selection
of scars (both ritually applied
ones and irregular battle scars), as
well as tattoos and other ritual markings
that proclaim their devotion.
Many bear the hard musculature of
someone who fights every day.
Storytelling Hints: Young Pure
Tribe werewolves tend to be needlessly
aggressive, having not
learned the distinction between
the quiet confidence of the true preda-
tor and the aggression of the angry animal. They’re very
sensitive to insults and get into fights at the drop of a hat, or,
more often, an ill-chosen word.

IVORY CLAW TEMPLAR
Quote: “Your impurity makes you weak. It should be
cut from your body.”
Background: A Pure Tribe werewolf who survives a
few years among her fellows is a fearsome beast indeed. In
both the material and spiritual worlds, her hunting skills are
on par with or better than the most experienced mundane
animal or human hunter, and frequently excelling that of
her Forsaken counterpart. The werewolf has lived apart
from both humanity and wolves for long enough that she
identifies solely with her own kind. Especially those who
share her untarnished lineage back into antiquity.
Description: Hardened Ivory Claws often do battle in
Dalu form, their skill quite sufficient to bring down all but
the hardiest of prey. Even in that form, they tend to carry
themselves with a dignity and grace that keeps them from
seeming clumsy. In human form, however, such hunters
are not particularly good at seeming inconspicuous. When
people notice them, even the least aware can spot the aura
of danger that surrounds such creatures.
Storytelling Hints: Experienced Ivory Claws move
with an economy of motion and physical control that’s hard
to disguise. The same is true of their personalities. Unless
they work hard to conceal it, these predators come across as
Antagonists
