Quoted By:
Isaiah Changed when he was being bullied by a couple of other kids, just like you did. The local Kin blamed his disappearance and their deaths on a bear attack too. The Get even dragged in a bear for them to hunt, for the sake of catharsis. His dreams following his collection were power fantasies in which he fought demons in God's name and slew them with holy armaments. Alex teases him a bit for this, especially since he's not able to show off his Gifts.
>Isaiah has Apecraft's Blessing: He can spend 1 Will to enhance any roll using a human-made tool with a +10 modifier. This will scale as he grows stronger.
>Isaiah has Spirit Snare: He can spend 1 Will to ensnare a spirit with unseen magic, inflicting a -30 modifier on its rolls until it is able to free itself from this snare.
As for you, you're careful about what you share. You let them know how you Changed and that there weren't any Garou around to baptise you with a Kin-Fetch when you were born, but you don't go into more depth like that. As a distraction from your origins, you tell them about your epiphany regarding fire and your dream about the full moon. You even transform into Crinos and sharpen your claws on a tree, honing them to a supernatural edge through your Gift.
Almost a month has passed since you first arrived.
>Your Rage is currently 4/10.
>Your Will is currently 8/10.
Once you have eaten and returned to the clearing to begin your lesson for the day, you are somewhat surprised when Harrower takes you aside to speak with you in private, away from the others.
"You would be wise not to let what I am about to say go to your head, cub."
"I won't, ma'am."
"Good. The others have been her for longer than you. Some of them have been here for far longer. In spite of this, you have done well. You're better prepared for your Rite than any of them. You're a good learner. You fight well enough. You know to wield your rage and when to contain it."
"Thank you, ma'am."
"Ella is useless. Isaiah still clings to herd dogma. Alex has no respect for her superiors. Marley lacks zeal. I could send you out to go through your Rite together, though only you are ready. Yet I know that you are close to Sheepdog and I know that his pack has dwindled. In times of need, we allow packs that have suffered losses to adopt cubs such as you and put them through their Rites. This comes with a stigma."
"Why's that?"
"Many who learn that you were adopted by a more experienced pack shall believe that they carried you through your Rite. They will not believe that you earned the Rite to be Garou. Are you willing to wear this mark of shame, or do you want to be seen as a true Garou who earned his place in the Nation the true way?"
>You will form a pack with the other students. You will do this traditionally.
>You will join Sheepdog's pack. You accept the mark of shame.
>Suggest up to two other students who should join Sheepdog's pack with you. You will all be stigmatised.
