First Impressions


Homid (Human Form) -
Ren is 5ft 10 and built with lean muscle. She has short dark hair cut into a pixie cut and that good old-fashioned British pale skin. Brown eyes with a knick in her eyebrow that she shaved in herself. She favours leggings and vest-tops and usually looks like she's just rolled out of training at any given moment. She has two celtic knot bands tattooed on her left arm. On her right inner wrist she has a stylised stag. 

Ren has a large scar on her right leg that runs from her thigh to her groin. This is the result of a frenzy injury and remains hairless no matter what form she's in.

Ren speaks in a broad Northern-English accent (Geordie) and tends to use a lot of British slang.

In Lupus (Wolf Form) -

In lupus, Ren stands at about 4ft tall. She is large with shiny black fur. She is physically imposing and well-built. Because of her Fionn pure breed, she bares a resemblence to the ominous Black Shuck of British Folk Lore. Her coat is very glossy though.

In Crinos (War Form) - 

8ft of pure werewolfy muscle and murder. Will induce delirium in humans. A typical werewolf. 

FAQ

So how strong is Ren?

Ren can comfortably lift, carry, move up to 600lb in weight without really thinking about it. It is reasonable to say she is stronger than most humans. She's a trained fighter that specialises in hand to hand and grappling. 

Where is she from?

Ren comes from Northumberland, England. She currently lives in Colorado (USA), near Denver in the Sept of the Relentless Beat. 

What type of Werewolf is she?

Ren is a Garou from the Fianna Tribe. Her 'normal' form is that of a human being young woman - this is how she was born and is referred to as her breed form - but she can shift anywhere from a black wolf to a huge werewolf.

Can she pass on being a werewolf?

No! In the World of Darkness TTRPG Werewolf the Apocalypse, being a werewolf is not a curse and can not be transmitted. Ren was born into a family that had Garou heritage - also known as being kinfolk - and experienced the change into becoming Garou herself when she was 17. She grew up knowing that werewolves exist as her father changed as well. 

Approximately 1/10 kinfolk (or less) will experience the change and transform into werewolves. They are Gaia's chosen warriors and are there to defend the Earth from evils such as the Wyrm.

What do you mean by rage?

Mechanically speaking, Ren has 6 dots in Rage out of a possible 10. 

Ren is an angry person. Because she was born under the full moon, she is known to other Garou as an Ahroun. An Ahroun is a warrior among warrior people. For normal humans in her world, it is very unsettling for them to be around Ren for long periods of time, like sitting next to a ticking bomb that could go off at any moment. If she loses her temper and falls into a rage, she can become a destructive machine unable to stop herself from being violent. 

So, why can't she talk about being a werewolf?

The Garou agree to live by a set of rules that are consistent across the tribes. This is called the Litany. The Litany has many rules about the responsibility of werewolf but one of the most important ones is that they can not reveal their nature to humans or pierce 'the veil'. Failure to comply with this rule will result in her being killed as she is a danger to the secrecy of Garou culture. 

Ren will often talk around this point in a careful manner. She's been given a set cover story and that's the one she defaults to when introducing herself to new people. 

What's with the multiple names?
Ren was born Wren O'Neill on 22 February 2002.  When she changed at 17 and started her year of training with her aunt, she decided to drop the W from her name and start using Ren instead. To her mind, it sounds the same and it's less letters to write. When she went to her new sept, she ended up being given a deed name after unwittingly walking into an ambush, now, she's know as Ren Rages-Against-The-Odds.
