-
Persuasion (Homid Rank 1) This Gift allows a homid to become more persuasive when dealing with others; his statements and arguments are imbued with meaning or credibility. This Gift is taught by an Ancestor-spirit. System: The Garou rolls Charisma + Subterfuge (difficulty 6). If successful, the difficulties of all Social rolls are reduced by one for the remainder of the scene. Staredown (Homid Level Two) By staring into the eyes of a human or animal, a werewolf can cause the target to flee in terror. This Gift can be used against other werewolves, but the target will freeze in place rather than flee. A ram- or snake-spiritteaches this Gift. Any supernatural who has this gift used on them can not attack the Garou unless attacked first. System: The Garou rolls Charisma + Intimidation (difficulty 6). The victim flees for one turn per success. Should the Garou score five or more successes, the victim flees for the duration of the scene. Garou targets will not flee, but they cannot attack while this Gift is in effect, although they can defend themselves. Sense Wyrm (Black Fury Rank 1) The Garou can sense manifestations of the Wyrm in the nearby area. This Gift involves a mystical sense, not a visual or olfactory image, although Garou using this Gift are likely to say, "This place stinks of the Wyrm." This power requires active concentration. This Gift is taught by any spirit servant of Gaia. System: The Garou rolls Perception + Occult. The difficulty for this Gift is based on the concentration and strength of the Wyrm's influence (sensing a single formor in a room would have a difficulty of 6). Vampires can be sensed using this Gift, but only those with Humanity scores lower than 7.

Background • How Was Your Life Different? "When I was in primary school, my sense of touch 'broke'. In addition to being unable to feel anything less than a firm poke, it was as if the concept of pain itself ceased to exist for me. The doctors tentatively suggested it was a case of 'congenital insensitivity to pain', although they had never heard of an onset of the condition in a child as old I was, especially not with such abrupt manifestation. “You would think that being painless is a pretty sweet deal – hot drinks are never ‘too hot’, stepping on Lego becomes merely a minor inconvenience, and it’s a pretty neat trick at parties and fights – but when you consider how important pain is in keeping us safe, it doesn’t take long to reach the conclusion that it’s quite a curse. The mortal body isn’t invulnerable, and pain exists to remind us of that. “So I had to learn to live with it, to see danger before I feel it, to check and double-check my body every minute of the day for cuts and bruises, to consciously process the limits that everyone else feels naturally. So far, I’ve been pretty lucky – or arguably just really good at looking after myself – in that I haven’t hurt myself so badly that it doesn’t fix itself within a day or so, but I get the feeling that it’s only a matter of time…”
• What Was Your Upbringing? “My school life summed up in one word would be ‘average’. I was never terribly popular or unpopular, I wasn’t elected Class President or put on Pet Duty, and my grades stayed at a consistent ‘C’ across the board. About the only things I was ever praised for were my neat handwriting and long-term endurance in Phys. Ed., though the latter was probably just a by-product of my unique ‘cheat’; it’s easy to push your body beyond its limits if you conveniently ‘forget’ those limits for a while. “As I made my way through high-school and finally into university, I remained without a clear destination in mind. It was sort of expected me to go to university, so I applied without really thinking about it, but even now I’m not entirely sure why I’m here or what it’s all supposed to accomplish. I’d probably be just as happy doing anything else… I guess I’ll figure it out eventually.”
• Who Are Your Friends and Family? “My parents disappeared while I was still in primary school, leaving me with my godfather, Claru. Despite being generally amicable, he tends to keep mostly to himself, often locking himself in the attic for hours on end. He also has a habit of lapsing into strange allegorical tales that feel more like anecdotes missing the finer details. He doesn’t appear to work anymore, but is supporting the household on some mysterious savings fund. How he came into that money, along with pretty much anything about his past, is something he won’t discuss, or at least not without burying the entire story in metaphors. “About the only consistent friend I've had over the years is my godfather's daughter, Emily-Lucia, who prefers to be called 'Em'. She’s as good at fixing machines as she is at dislocating jaws, having picked up both habits from her dad’s two best friends. She says she was probably a Hell’s Angel in a past life, which is funny because she’s actually knocked a few of them out over the years – I guess old habits die hard? Pretty sure she has some kind of black market connections too, considering all the shady stuff she’s brought home over the years. Ah well. It’s not really my problem.”
• How Do You Deal with the Mundane World? “There’s nothing really much to myself between studying ancient history and lazing about. I had thought about getting a job for a while, but my godfather explained – with a bizarre Aesop about an army dividing its forces – that work would only distract me from my studies, and to pick one or the other. Since research and essay writing is a lot less effort than working full-time, I opted to stick with university. “In the meantime, I’m given a small allowance to do with as I want, but most of it just gets saved up, since there’s very little that catches my eye. Em, on the other hand, is constantly broke and keeps asking to borrow money; I refuse mostly, but sometimes I give in just to get her off my back about it. So far, she’s not returned any of what she owes me, and I’m not really expecting it back any time soon.”

General Announcement:
I'm gonna aim to get this RP started by the first Week of June. If there is anyone else who would like to try this, please let me know and I will try to get you up to speed by the time the RP starts.
- We are still needing Skype for OOC communication.
- This is an incorporation of the World of Darkness RP system used by White Wolf Publishing - specifically, the rulebooks concerning Mage: The Ascension. Accordingly, a Skype dice program will be used (eventually).

Traits:
Allies: 1 (+1) Contacts: 1 Influence: 1 Resources: 2
Section 5: Finishing Touches
Merits:
Perfect Balance (+3)
Danger Sense (+2)
Concentration (+1)
Flaws:
Nightmares (-1)
Conditional Magic (-4) (Rue is able to conjure up illusions. However, she can only do so in areas with no sunlight, such as shadows, dark rooms, or even under the night sky.)
• How Was Your Life Different?
When Rue was a child, she held a strong fascination with astrology and night was her favorite time of day. Out of sight from her parents, who thought her to be sleeping, the young squirrel would while away many a starry night looking through a telescope she had received as a birthday present one year. While this in and of itself does not seem terribly odd, even for a Mobian as obsessed as Rue, there were a few strange things that would often happen whenever the sun went down. The reason why she would be up so late at night was that she had a tendency to have horrible nightmares when she slept. And the thing was, these dreams seemed very real, as if they were actually happening. And they almost seemed prophetic in a way, warning her of something that was set to happen in the future. As well, every once in a while, she would catch the barest glimpse of a shadow… ‘shimmering’. As if the air around it was heating up. This occurrence also happened to the air around her at night. She never told anyone about this, not even her parents, thinking they would never believe her… • What Was Your Upbringing? As far as upbringing goes, Rue’s was pretty much normal. She had a loving family and was the oldest of three siblings. Aside from astrology, the squirrel also had a love for nature that stemmed from her mother, who kept a garden in the yard filled with various plants and herbs. School was more or less the same for Rue as it was for nearly every other child around her. While not a straight-A student overall, she did do fairly well in her classes, especially with subjects she was interested in; Horticulture and Astrology. As well, under training from her father, Rue learned the ways of the bow and arrow, becoming quite proficient at it. At least for her age.
• Who Are Your Friends and Family? As mentioned above, Rue is the oldest child out of three children. Her parents were fairly well-respected members of the community and were very caring towards Rue, though her father tended to be a little hard on her at times. As far as friends go, the squirrel has a few close ones from school that she likes to hang out with. However, nether her friends nor her family know anything about the squirrel’s strange occurrences, aside from the occasional nightmare, as she did not want to worry anyone, nor did she think anyone would believe her in regards to the shimmering shadows.
• How Do You Deal with the Mundane World? While trying to keep her secret from the world, Rue pretty much lives a normal life. Currently in college, the squirrel is looking to major in Astrology, with a minor in Horticulture. When she’s not in classes or studying for a test, Rue enjoys hanging out with friends, fraternity parties, and of course stargazing. The squirrel also has a part-time job doing retail work at a gardening shop, the money she makes used to pay for food and other necessities. As far as dealing with Sleepers goes, her friends and family aren’t the only one that she keeps her secret from…

How Was Your Life Different? My life was always going to be a bit strange. My mother, Momo Senza, was a Wereraven--a Corax. She and her family had always planned on making me into one too, and I dreamed of days full of adventure. Something went wrong. The rite didn't take. Somehow, I was unable to receive my blessing-- my birthright. Instead of the glorious unfolding, my soul was filled with cold fire. Wonderful and terrible visions whirled before my eyes, among them my own dark fate. After that there was no more to see. The ordeal had taken my sight. From then on life was almost normal. Somtimes I would have another sense of the future-- the Corax said that Helios had blessed me in his own way-- but little ever came of it. Not for me anyway, though the corax seem to have gotten some use of them.
What Was Your Upbringing? I grew up in Chun-Nan, a UF city-state very near the Border of the Dragon Kingdom. My father, in fact, emigrated from the Dragon kingdom with his father a few years before meeting my mother. Their romance was jubilant, fast and frantic, just like all parts of my mother's life. My mom, Momo Senza, raised me in the teachingS and faith of the Corax. She died a few months ago while on a scouting mission. They tell me it was a good death, without secrets. My dad is a lot quieter. coming from the Dragon Kindom did a lot to instill a need for stability. Between Corax connections and some serious work ethic, he made our family very wealthy. I was very well taken care of. I get what I want, when I want it. Honestly, I think my dad might be a little afraid of me. Anyway, I had a talent for music early on, and now I'm in school for music.
Who Are Your Friends and Family? I am an only child. My mother, as I said, died recently, but I still have my dad, Tan'ca Senza, and more bird-brain cousins than I can count. I also have my #1-fan-and-lacky, Rosie. And my two bandmates. But I haven't made any really close friends since arriving at the school.
How do You Deal with the Mundane World? Through music. Corax, mobian, and human alike, we can all feel the message of emotionS through chords and harmonies. I follow Raven's laws by communiacting through the songs I sing. Non-Corax people tend to bore me. They bore me so badly, in fact, that I've begun to make a game of them. And if The Raven instructs us to be truthful, well, I am only half a Corax, and the tangled tales I tell are thier own kind of truth. I'm aching for something to shake up my repetitive and banal life. Even my band, Paper Blue Flowers, is starting to lose it's luster, even though our fame is growing rapidly. I don't know how much longer I can hold out before the madness of the wyld gets in my bones...

Background
-How Was Your Life Different?
Alexei always found himself isolated from his peers. He always found himself drawn to the comfort of the cold logic of mathematics and machinery, much preferring it to the chaos and turmoil that seemed to come with associating with others. He sometimes hears things he can't quite explain, vague whispers he can only interpret as the 'secrets of mathematics'. While he can occasionally make sense of them, most of the time he is unable to interpret them.
-What Was Your Upbringing?
At aboug the age of eight, Alexei's mother divorced his father, and departed for parts unknown. Though Alexander would have rather Alexei had gone with his mother, Alexei chose to stay. For the most part, Alexander paid little attention to Alexei, as he was in the midst of a breakthrough in his field during most of Alexei's childhood. During his teenage years, the two began to bond over a collective love for science, which culminated in Alexei enrolling in EMU to follow in his father's footsteps.
-Who Are Your Friends and Family?
Alexei's father, Alexander Solus is one of the most prominent professors at EMU, his work in the field of biomedical engineering having no peer. Due to his father's cold and aloof nature, Alexei has a rather cool relationship with his father, generally only seeing him on breaks or on the rare occasion that he requires a favor. While Alexander is a genius in his field, he is manipulative and ruthless, unafraid to pull a few strings to help his son get ahead. While his mother is still alive, she lives in parts unknown somewhere. He thinks she might have a new family somewhere, but he doesn't care enough to find out. While he has maintains friendly, academic relations with his colleagues and the faculty, he has no real friends to speak of.
-How Do You Deal with the Mundane World?
Alexei keeps himself hidden from people, spending his time alone in various labs and libraries, only dealing with people when absolutely necessary. His father's money allows him to live a fairly comfortable life free of day-to-day financial stresses, though he very rarely indulges. He goes to class, takes his tests, and overall keeps out of the way.

The Branwells loved him dearly and doted upon him often, and when he started showing signs of asthma at an early age, they packed their belongings and moved to the country where their son could breathe as much clean air as possible.
Needless to say, they couldn't deny that there was something odd about their child, namely that he seemed to heal faster than anyone else. Once he had broken his arm from falling off his bike, and he was off the cast earlier than their doctor had anticipated. Unfortunately, bullies at school took notice of this as well, and used Toby as their personal pincushion. Despite his parents' love and support, Toby grew up shy and withdrawn, and rarely ever made friends. The one party he was invited to was a disaster; he fell in a swimming pool and almost drowned, giving birth to his aquaphobia.
He spent his leisure time with books instead, and it helped that literature didn't care that he was "strange." Curious about why his body worked differently from anyone else's, Toby absorbed every biology book he could get his paws on, and the idea of helping other people heal as fast as he can became quite appealing by the time he was choosing majors for his freshman year at college...

Miscellaneous
Willpower: 5 (-2 Freebies)
Traits
Contacts: 2 – Dr. Shaw exercises considerable notoriety in academic circles for his anti-scientismic (some say frankly fantastical) views. In spite of his outlandish reputation, he still has contacts and influence throughout learned circles. And given his interest in the unearthly, who knows what other secrets he might be hiding?
Allies: 2 – When Cohen became interested in religious practice and meditation in particular, he turned first to those traditions in his own religion—Roman Catholicism. As part of this, he began a regiment of Ignatian contemplation. In this tradition, practitioners are required to accept the guidance of a leader practiced in Ignatian spirituality. Cohen was fortunate enough to find at his campus Brother Ryan, the Jesuit monk—one of those vestiges of true faith in Mobius. His relationship with his spiritual mentor persists to this day.
Resources: 1 – While on an extended scholarship, Cohen works at EMU as a janitor. For the most part, this is to finance his peculiar education. In spite of this, the job pays a small salary and provides Cohen with room and board while he remains at the university.

Finishing Touches
Merits: Berserker (+2)
Flaws: Obsession (-2) – He has a schedule. To be happy, he must get his daily workout, he must do his daily meditation, he must do his daily reading, and he must do his daily journaling. He can function under a broken schedule, but then the unease will lurk, fidgeting, at the back of his mind.
Curiosity (-2)
Intolerance (-1) – Scientism. Even before Cohen learns about the Technocracy, he’s a philosopher of spirit at heart—and the conflict that drives him to with his peers and teachers has soured him on the “naïve materialism” of the establishment. Because of this, he doesn’t merely view science as an abused tool, but actually as a sort of false, faddish god.

Background
• How Was Your Life Different? Cohen’s life was ordinary until he began attendance at EMU on a full-ride merit scholarship. At EMU, Cohen happened to take a class under the philosophy professor Dr. Shaw, which had two profound effects: 1) Cohen's taken-for-granted faith in the materialist paradigm broke down, giving way to an ever-growing, some say obsessive interest in philosophical idealism (the idea that the universe is nothing but a mental construct), and eventually in mysticism and Gnosticism and Catholicism and the occult. 2) By the time senior year came around (and Cohen's scholarship dried up) he had not completed a major.
But his grades were very good, and his relationship with Dr. Shaw was very strong, (and Dr. Shaw was much more influential than he had any business being given his unorthodox views). As a special dispensation from EMU, he was allowed to continue his studies at EMU if he took a job as a janitor and worked as a permanent PA for Shaw. Thus, he’s become an anomaly at EMU--an undergraduate of nine years.
• What Was Your Upbringing? Mr. and Mrs. Azarovski wanted to give their son the best life he could hope for. To them, that meant offering a sound moral base, a strong work ethic, and enough of an education to rise above their distinctly blue-collar standards of living. In other words, Cohen's upbringing was almost entirely typical of those who shared his background.
• Who Are Your Friends and Family? Cohen had a group of friends for his first four years at EMU and a girlfriend for the latter two. Then, they graduated, and he didn’t. He developed new friends for the second four years. They too graduated. In his ninth year, he still chats with this or that old-time buddy over the internet, but none of them are close.
Now he’s 27, a little too old, and a little too strange (have you seen his dorm? It looks like something out of A Beautiful Mind with the walls covered in texts scribbled over in black sharpie, and then there are the (contraband, firehazard) candles he keeps everywhere, and the books on demonology and exorcisms and Masonic codes...), and the more time he spends alone, the stranger he becomes and the darker his interests sink.
This is not to say he is willfully strange; the dark things in his dorm stay in his dorm. But you can only hide such interests from people you hold at a distance.
