Second plot arch developed by
White Wolf tras
Vampire: the Masquerade, shares the
environment of the call "
World of The darkness" , created by
Mark Rein•Hagen The creation of a
Garou takes into account three aspects:
Race,
Afiliate and
Tribe, this will determine the profile of the personage, its tendencies and aspirations, ways and general conduct.
Race (
Hominid, Lupus, Metis) : As opposed to the popular literary tradition, the
Garou is not converted for a
bribe of another werewolf, but is a matter of a hereditary question because of a
recessive gene that can be found so much in
Humans as in
Wolves.
Upon being recessive the gene, is rare that the parents be
Garou since this condition is used to jumping several generations before being stirred up in another member of the family.
The election of
race consists exactly in deciding if the personage there will be born as the
Man or like
Animal, which will influence in a direct way in their form of seeing the world, whether for their difficulty of being adapted and to understand the natural environment, or by colliding abruptly with what call company and their stridency.
It can be given the case that two of these
werewolves couple, which produces a baby mule, a young deform and sterile that is respected an insult to the nature, for which the union of two
Garou is prohibited. To this product despised him is called
Metis, and in case to elect this option the personage will be a critura torture victim and full of suffering or grudge.
Afiliate: The character and mission in the life that will have each
Garou is determined by the
Moon in which is born, to this him is called
afiliate and each one has a name, although I will speak of it in the outline of the Book of Afiliates, they can be summarized of this way.
* New (Ragabash) : the Impostor
* Waning (Theurge) : the Mystic
* Average (Philodox) : the Judge
* Humpbacked(Galliard) : the Bard
* Full (Ahroun) : the Warrior
Tribe: Along everyone different
tribes were created, that maintained the profile of the cultures in which they were originated, this is maintained to our days generating conflicts between some and other as is the case of the grudge of the
American tribes toward the
sajonas, by the massacres carried out during the colonization of the new continent.
The
Tribes were originally 16, but currently they survive 13 and a
Corrupt one (fourteen on the whole). Each one of these tribes has their own book (that I will undertake despues) and are the following:
Gang of Fenrris
Silent Travelers
Silver Eyeteeth
Star Contemplates
Fianna
Black Furies
Red Claws
Childrenof Gaia
Inhabitants of the Crystal
Gnaws Bones
Gentlemen of the Shadows
Uktena
Wendigo
Dancers of the Black Spiral (Corrupt)
Extinct: Crotanos (American Indus)
Tasmanos (Australian Marsupial Wolf)
The Multiple Forms In the approach of the play, the Garou can change its form to will, passing from
human form to
lupin and vice versa, independently of the lunar phase or even if is day or night, nevertheless in the middle of this there are three forms but, being a total of five.
*
Hominid: Common human
*
Glabrous: Man-beast, similar to the werewolves of the movies of the 80'' s where had a human body and the hairy face.
*
Crinos: Werewolf, the form preferred inside the play, similar to the werewolves of the movies of the 90’s, a monster with face of wolf and a body antropomorfo gigantic (as the physicist-bodybuilder) of almost three meters, hairy, with large claws in the hands and similar legs to the lupins.
*
Hispo: Primitive wolf, a similar hairy and enormous wolf to the wolves prehistóricos.
*
Lupus: Common wolf.
World view: The werewolves, contrary to the popular belief, are not monsters without conscience, but they are seen if same as protectors of the land (
Gaia).
At first Around
Gaia there they were three forces,
Kaos: Responsible for creating and to transform;
Tejedora: responsible for solidifying and to perpetuate; and
Wyrm: responsible for maintaining the equilibrium between the two previous.
A day
Tejedora tried to wrap to
Kaos and when
Wyrm tried to avoid it the suffered the attack remaining trapped and in its desperation remained lunatic trying to escape vainly finishing enclosed in nobody knows where.
Incapable to do nothing,
Wyrm tried to be fed of the unique thing that reached it, the emotions but hardly of the beings of
Gaia: I hate, Pain, Sufrimento, etc. This corrupted to
Wyrm filling it of desires of revenge and destruction, as well as hatred toward all even to
Gaia.
After that sought ways to influence the emotions of the beings so that generated but hatred and wickedness to be continued feeding of it.
Currently, it is considered that the nuclear disasters, the environmental contamination, and all the progressive destruction of the land is given for the influence of the
Wyrm on the humans in its eagerness by put an end to
Gaia.
Is against this that fight the
Garou.
