Werewolf: The Forsaken - Blank It

its human host. It probably has to flee human society, and
it will certainly need to avoid anyone who knew the host
before the body theft. So why would spirits take this route?
Simple. It’s a handy means of hiding in the material world
for short periods of time, an act of desperation by a spirit
fugitive with no other recourse.
APPEARANCE
Initially, a Spirit Thief looks exactly like the host
did prior to the body theft but with a vacant, glazed
expression and a shambling gait. While spirits might be
able to grasp the most basic concepts of defecation and
eating, little matters like basic personal hygiene, changing
clothes and the like deteriorate rapidly. Within a
few days, the Spirit Thief looks like a tramp who’s been
on the streets for months. Within weeks, the shambling
mass of dirt, injuries and rags looks barely human. The
body displays few traces of the spirits’ nature unless the
spirit desperately tried to reinforce itself with leaves,
rocks or any other material appropriate to its nature.
AGENDA
A Spirit Thief seeks only to survive and hide for as
long as it can. This means finding somewhere it can hide
its rapidly deteriorating face from attention, and a basic
supply of food and water. Its responses to others are likely
to be basic flight or fight, depending on how much of a
threat the Spirit Thief thinks the antagonist is.
RULES
Spirit Thieves are little different from their hosts.
The spirit may use its Essence to heal damage inflicted on
the body on a one-for-one basis, but it cannot access any
of its Influences or Gifts as long as it’s in the body. Should
a spirit use all its Essence in trying to maintain its host
body, it disperses and re-forms in the Shadow Realm as
per the usual rules. Should the host body be destroyed, the
spirit is automatically flung back through the Gauntlet,
less a Corpus point.
