Data transfer… Complete.

 

The first post on my new blog is, not surprisingly, the transfer of my old info from my craptacular old journal. Beware, emotional spewings are in the full version, the WW splat is in the short form.

 

Also note, some of the info from my "filler arcs and Mokuba’s" rant has been proven wrong, but hey, what did one expect from someone who had blearily watched a few dozen eps and posted at god knows what time in the morning?

Totem: Lord of the Public transportation system.
Background cost: 4
Description: the lord (or lady) of the PTS is a very recent entity. The first case of garou meeting this totem came when a down-and-out pack of bone gnawers discovered that they had passed up the last MUNI a few hours ago. One of the ragabash, on a whim, started to chant to “the almighty spirit of the subway-busses.” Seeing as there was nobody around (and all of them were no-moons), the entire group joined in. it was but a single minute later when the K arrived, helmed by a materialized subway-spirit. Since then, many have discovered the glory that is the PTS monarch. Many Garou have questioned what this incarna has sprung from; some claim that it is a sub-aspect of the city fathers, others reason this is a gathering of many city-spirits into a higher power, but for those who follow this mighty being, origins do not matter as much as being able to get to the Moot on time. The lord of the PTS manifests as any sort of person who rides frequently in the area, a sentient device of public transportation, or a metal segmented legless dragon.
Traits: children of the PTS lord receive a -2 to any difficulty involving public transportation of any kind. (Carpools, trains, and nearly all flights don’t count. it has to be a county or city-funded device, like busses, subways, cable cars, exc.) also if a Garou is afraid of missing (or is trying to catch) any such vehicle, they may make a gnosis roll, how many successes indicates how well the driver (or the environment itself) lends itself to comply with the Garou’s wishes. In general, small favors tend to happen around PTS depots, and things that correspond to said systems. (ST’s discretion! Finding a working transfer for the route you need is one example.) On rare occasions the Lord of the PTS teaches a modified version of the rite “appease the traffic gods.” (Only works on PTS devices, but one would suggest driving the little bus on a seat, and not the dashboard… the driver might get a little testy.) Lastly, vehicles have been known to aid Garou in times of need, (Driver: “I was going along my route, and then I don’t know what I was thinking, but next I know I'm on clay and I’d accidentally hit this guy waving a gun!”)
Ban: the bonuses given by the PTS lord can only be applied to one system per day (for example, one could use it for Golden Gate, but not BART) and only in places that they run. Children of the PTS lord must avoid using ‘private transportation’ (anything not Public transportation, save for walking) unless absolutely necessary. They must help enrich and support any system in their area. If the children are ‘artistically inclined’ any artworks or tagging must be approved by the spirits of the PTS. (This can vary from one area to the next). Naturally, the PTS lord does NOT approve of damage to any vehicle or locale related to public transit.

Next post will have the stats for a PTS spirit; I'm too tired to put it in tonight…

Werewolf: the apocalypse thought of the day:
I am now convinced that there needs to be a bunch of auspices that have no meaning in the greater scheme of things... like... Pizza delivery boys! 'Satisfying the hunger of Gaia!' Rage 2 (3 if they don't like their jobs.) And are born on Friday nights, super bowl Sundays, and any given time when half the community for some unknown reason decides that, "Dude, I totally don't want to nuke a hotdog tonight, lets order out.”

... And Floral ninjas, you can't forget the floral ninjas.
Now strangely enough, I did not pull that one out of my rear, this little gem came from a discussion in the shop whereupon my co-worker was griping about the delivery being more 'spectacular'... and I (on a Naruto kick, and thinking about Ninja burger) suggested the idea.
Now we all were gung-ho about implementing this, but sadly, none of us had black cat suits, rappelling equipment, or the skills to use any of the above.

Ah yes, this is my fist post here in... Ever, so it might be good if I introduced myself. I am Aryum Grey, freelance artist, game designer, GM/Storyteller, Floral assistant (go-fer), anime enthusiast, and collage student. I think that covers it all.
