Climb Like an Ape / City Running
Rank 1 Homid Gift
Called City Running in 20th Anniversary Edition
Garou with this Gift find that moving vertically is just as easy as moving horizontally; whether they are walking along a sidewalk, climbing stairs, or scaling the side of a building, their pace doesn’t change in the slightest, nor do they tire out more rapidly. This Gift doesn’t make it any easier or less dangerous to climb in precarious circumstance — a ten-story fall is still a ten-story fall, and a sheer surface remains sheer — but the Gift does make sure that the character can climb as quickly as he walks.
Stench and the City
Rank 1 Homid Gift / Rank 1 Bone Gnawer Gift
Many city Garou use this Gift when facing off against just about anything with a particularly sensitive nose: this can include other Garou, Black Spiral Dancers, and a host of normal animals or Wyrm-creatures. The Gift incapacitates its target by overwhelming its sense of smell with the stink of the city: sweat, blood, human waste, rot, smoke and car exhaust.
Garou have been known to use this Gift to pull one of their own out of the thrall of frenzy, or to incapacitate a crazed wolf without permanent injury. The Black Spiral Dancers are said to be quite familiar with Stench and the City as well, and are perfectly willing to use it on Gaian Garou.
Master of Fire
Rank 1 Homid Gift / Rank 1 Croatan Gift / Rank 1 Get of Fenris Gift
Once humans tamed fire to keep them warm and to drive off the wild beasts, they were humanity’s ancient pact with the spirits of fire. The spirits of flame agree to hold back their hunger when the werewolf touches them. An ancestor spirit or a fire-spirit grants this Gift.
Persuasion
Rank 1 Homid Gift / Rank 1 Fianna Gift / Rank 1 Glass Walkers Gift
This Gift allows a homid to become more persuasive when dealing with others, in such a way that his statements and arguments are imbued with added meaning or credibility. An ancestor-spirit teaches this Gift.
Smell of Man
Rank 1 Homid Gift
Creatures of the wild have leanred well that where man goes, death follows. With this Gift the werewolf enhances the human scent around him greatly, causing wild animals to feel uneasy and nervous. However, the scent also causes domestic animals to recognize the werewolf as their master. An ancestor-spirit teaches this Gift.
Apecraft’s Blessings
Rank 1 Homid Gift
Though many of Gaia’s children use tools, none have mastered them so thoroughly as humanity. The homid focuses this mastery into the tools she uses, causing their spirits to awaken and lend her aid. An ancestor-spirit or spirit of a man-made object teaches this Gift.
Resist Pain
Rank 1 Philodox Gift / Rank 1 Children of Gaia Gift / Rank 1 Get of Fenris Gift / Rank 1 Wendigo Gift
Through force of will, the Philodox is able to ignore the pain of his wounds and continue acting normally. A bear-spirit teaches this Gift.
Ma’at’s Feather
Rank 1 Philodox Gift
According to Egyptian legend, if the heart of one of the dead was heavier than Ma’at’s feather, she would feed it to the beast Ammit, destroying their soul entirely. If it was lighter, then the dead person was admitted to the afterlife. This Gift was first the province of Silent Strider Philodox (and is still most common amongst that tribe), but has spread throughout all of Garou society. It allows the Philodox to sense the weight of a fallen Garou’s soul and determine if he died as one of Gaia, or had fallen to the Wyrm. It is used to determine what rituals will be undertaken for the deceased, and is taught by a bird- or lion-spirit.
Truth of Gaia
Rank 1 Philodox Gift
As judges of the Litany, Philodox have the ability to sense whether others have spoken truth or falsehood. A Gaffling of Falcon teaches this Gift.
Fangs of Judgement
Rank 1 Philodox Gift
It falls upon the Philodox to levy not only judgment but also punishment against those who have fallen from their proper stations. This Gift, taught by an ancestor-spirit, causes the werewolf’s claws and fangs to burn with the righteous power of law.
Scent of the True Form
Rank 1 Philodox Gift
This Gift allows the Garou to determine the true nature of a person. This information is conveyed as an olfactory sensation — it is actually a scent of the target’s natural form. Any spirit servant of Gaia can teach this Gift.
Moon Lore
Rank 1 Philodox Gift
Using this Gift, the werewolf can learn the phase of the moon that heralded the birth of another. Although it can determine auspice, Moon Lore gives no clue to whether the subject is a werewolf or even if it is supernatural in any way; being born under a waxing gibbous moon means much more to a Garou than it does to a normal human. Any moon-spirit can teach this Gift.
Jam Technology
Rank 2 Homid Gift / Rank 2 Glass Walker Gift
The werewolf can cause technological devices to cease functioning, albeit temporarily. Even the simplest of shaped objects will refuse to perform its function. A Gremlin — a type of Wyld-spirit that enjoys breaking things — teaches this Gift
Speech of the World
Rank 2 Homid Gift / Rank 2 Silent Strider Gift
This Gift allows Gaia’s warriors to read and wield the spirit of speech, bypassing the need to learn different languages and dialects. The Garou may speak and understand any human language she encounters, though she speaks with an obvious accent, marking her as an outsider. Speech of the World doesn’t convey literacy, nor is it an encyclopedia of cultural information. An ancestor-spirit teaches this Gift.
Staredown
Rank 2 Homid Gift
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-spirit teaches this gift.
Divide
Rank 2 Homid Gift
Humanity excels at making tiny differences into massive gulfs. This can be seen in racism, sexism, and homophobia. This Gift rises up such hatred and suspicion. It is taught by a dog-spirit.
Rooftop Sprint
Rank 2 Homid Gift
On occasion, a city Garou may find himself in a chase across the rooftops of his town. He may be pursuing a fleeing Wyrm-spirit or Black Spiral Dancer, or he might be running for his life from similar foes. Rooftop Sprint makes such a chase much more survivable — and even winnable — for the Garou who uses it. He becomes able to leap up and down several stories, and easily spring across open alleyways. The primary restriction on the character’s movement is that he cannot touch the ground, or the Gift’s effect ends at once.
Mark of the Wolf
Rank 2 Homid Gift
The werewolf marks those she comes in contact with, leaving them to carry the same aura of the predator the Garou does. This subtle curse can wreak havoc in a target’s private or professional life, and is a favorite of many homids looking to provoke discord in the ranks of the enemy. A Lune teaches this Gift.
Strength of Purpose
Rank 2 Philodox Gift / Rank 2 Croatan Gift / Rank 2 Get of Fenris Gift (Camp: Fangs of Garm)
Some Garou feel so strongly about their place in the pack, the tribe and the world that they can draw on this resolve in times of need. The Philodox can pull new resolve from his deepest reserves. A wolf-spirit teaches this Gift.
Call to Duty / Spectral Authority
Rank 2 Philodox Gift / Rank 2 Silent Strider (Camp: Wayfarers) Gift / Rank 2 White Howler Gift
The White Howler Version is called Spectral Authority
Any spirit the Philodox knows by name is a potential servitor. With this Gift, the werewolf can summon and command any spirit she knows by name. Only one command is possible at a time, and the spirit departs after fulfilling the one request. An Incarna avatar teaches this Gift.
Realm Wisdom
Rank 2 Philodox Gift
A wise Garou knows to obey the laws of a realm for maximum results; however, sometimes those laws aren’t immediately obvious. Although experience is the best teacher, sometimes a Philodox needs to take a shortcut. By channeling the wisdom of a realm’s spirits, the Philodox can intuitively guess important facts about the realm. This Gift is taught by an ancestor-spirit.
Omen of Truth
Rank 2 Philodox Gift
Half Moons are seldom called upon to make easy decisions or clear-cut judgements — if things were so simple, the Philodox would not be needed. Yet when it comes down to it, even the judge could use a hint now and then. By taking a moment to look around, the wise Garou may see in the fall of a leaf or path of a butterfly an answer he seeks.
Command the Gathering
Rank 2 Philodox Gift
The Philodox draws all eyes to herself with a great exclamation, a clap of her hands, the striking of klaive to shield, or some other such gesture. Until she has had her say, none may depart or interrupt her. A lion-spirit teaches this Gift.
King of the Beasts
Rank 2 Philodox Gift
The Philodox’s authority extends even into the realm of beasts, such that he can command the loyalty of any specific animal. If successful, the animal follows his commands willingly and unconditionally. A lion- or falcon-spirit teaches this Gift.
Background:
Regeane and her twin brother, Reiginsei, were born and raised in good 'ole Memphis, TN. They were practically joined at the hip and he was just a few minutes older than her. And he never let her forget that. They were raised to be hard workers and self sufficient. They were raised not to have to depend on anyone but themselves to survive, though Reiginsei saw to it the Regeane depended on him for many things. But she wouldnt have it any other way. Both were tough, rarely backing down from a fight, and usually started many of them. They were almost complete opposites of eachother. Reiginsei was violent, angry, obnoxious, and loud when Regeane was the quiet, calm, logical one. They were eachothers ying and yang.
Just after their 23rd birthday they were attending a big family 4th of July get together at a local park. Usually their family get togethers lasted all weekend. Reiginsei, as usual had too much too drink when he partied so Regeane had to step in and save his ass. There was another group at the park that weekend. People they had never seen or heard of before from our neighborhood. They were new and we didnt like new people. They were complete douchbags as well.
After several hours of taunting back and fourth, things started to get a little violent so Regeane dragged Reiginsei off to the woods to walk it off or pass out. She preferred he would pass out and sleep it off but that rarely happened. He was wired up. The sun had already set but the woods didnt scare her. She preferred the solitude over public places.
With her brother supported under her arm, they walked while he stumbled and bitched about things not being fair, not going his way and abotu the assholes shouldnt have started anything. Of course nothing was ever his fault but she calemed him down. Regeane helped him to sit on a fallen log and she sat beside him, leaning against eachother.
Suddenly she and her brother went flying off the log, ass over head onto the ground on their backs with someone sitting on top of each of them snarling and growling. They landed about twenty feet apart. Reiginsei was knocked unconscious due to his drunken state but Regeane was very much alive. Her back ached as she tried to fight off the attacker, seeking out her brother and protector. There was a wolf ontop of him. Chewing on him. She screamed and flailed her arms, managing to roll to her stomach and she tried to scamper away to her brother until searing pain should through her back and then through her shoulder.
She heard laughter as sounds and sights faded to oblivion, she felt her body dragged and dumped ontop of another form, probably her brother. They were left to die, or so she thought. They both woke in their room on the floor curled into eachother, covered in blankets. They were after all inseperable. Reiginsei was pissed and Regeane was scared. Feeding off eachothers emotions they offered comfort to eachother until their father came in.
He explained what had happened to them and why it happened. It wasnt suppose to have went down like that. He said he was promised they would be easy on us. He had gotten into debt with a local pack, severe debt so he signed up over to them to pay it off. Reiginsei leapt up and snapped their fathers neck in a raged fit and Regeane was a sobbing mess.
As the years passed Reiginsei learned to control his anger and Regeane learned to be tougher. The pack had trained and nurtured them until they were ready to be on their own. So they left Memphis, travelling the country, experiencing life with new eyes and started their own pack. The Wolfstan clan after their own lineage.
Five and a half years after their turning, they were passing through Kentucky when they ran into some hunters. Fucking red neck bastards, while they were shifted and on a run. Reiginsei was shot, twice, Regeane moured over him and wouldnt leave him. He made her run, he made her save herself. As far as she knew her brother was dead. She was alone, choosing to be alone because the only one that mattered was gone.
