nice new posts.
…ok…..tbf, that was an admittedly WEIRD AF part of the og games
"earth mommy demands you fuck actual animals"
Like….wtf…..
And? do distinguish that Gaia garou worship is not human god or even from the high umbra.
Just look at natural world and be glad she kept it tame.
alternatively look at IRL Gaia historical religion and be even more glad Black Furies don't have rituals where they crush men sexual organs (still attached of course) between two boulders.
All the while ignoring the Red Talons just sitting there, and playable. The Red Talons, the one Tribe whose identity revolves around hating humans. The Red Talons, the one Tribe in the modern setting that's arguably still outright genocidal. Fucking genius that.
The Red talons who looked at risk of corruption, went "nuhuh" and invented special rituals to safely eat human meat anyway.
But an actual wolf? They've got nothing.
Good observation. I also do notice that Werewolves are as divorced from wolves as they are form humans.
Lupus wolf from the zoo: My zookeeper was nice and only screamed a bit when I became a human
There is a canon character (Red Talon tribebook?) which is exactly this. A domesticated wolf that turned.
two more neighbours that argue a lot move in a few weeks later.
Ajaba and Bastet?... kudos for not killing each other. But one of them may have a... surprise in store. XD
he has had zero pest problems. (Depressed Samsa girl, very weak to praise.)
Samsa don't get enough praise and attention. One thing keeping them from that would be lack of gift list. Was it too much to develop one like with Yeren? Right now the best option would be Homid/Glass Walker and maybe Bone Gnawers.
>His life is literally just "Crane's return of a Favour" on repeat.
You slap Destiny 4 on that guy and it should work out.
Garou aren't being eco-warriors because they're loyal to nature or the health of the world. They're fighting for the natural order because they believe that it's the state where they are the ones on top, nothing more.
And if anything comes along that challenges that worldview or collapses their narrative by revealing how self-serving and egocentric their actual reasons for fighting are, they do their utmost to snuff it out.
They don't hate humanity because they're a threat to the world, they hate humanity because they think dominating the world and repainting it in their colours is the garou birthright and has been stolen from them.
Eeehhh... sorta? but also completely wrong. You have to take into account that WoD is not IRL and Werewolves are not humans. You are trying to paste modern and very narrow logic on beings that are not humans and do not even operate within same universe.
They are fighting for the world because that is literally what they were made for by their god. Garou were MADE by Gaia to wage eternal war on her behalf (sort alike Hunter-Killer cells of a planet). Further reinforced by their truly fanatical faith. Because they KNOW they are right. Ancestors and Gods do reach out to them directly. As for being on top - they would agree. At least they would not and do not consider humans equal or a threat as such.
If that was the case, they would have never stopped Impergium you realize? Which they did basically out of pity, not some sort of "humanity fuck yeah" moment. Now, of course Garou like everyone else do want more power and prestige. But, for a note, you do not get any credit in Garou society for defeating human warriors, for being a human leader/king, or for being rich. A piss poor Bone Gnawer can easily outrank a billionaire glass walker (nothin' said about kinfolk or rich human). Bone Gnawers in general are pretty much voluntarily poor and powerless for basically religious reasons.
Most of Garou don't hate humanity per-se (Not counting Red Talons that is). In WoD tho, the whole of humanity and civilization are no more than tools and pawns of cosmic forces.
Civilization is the physical expression of the Weaver (god of order) not just human effort. And wyrm is master at infiltrating and subverting it. You also forget that they can empirically see the effects of spreading civilization, while humans are spiritually blind and can not see or feel the effects new construction sites and pollution are actually having.
Now, they did war on other changing breeds. But that was part religious schism and part beings tailor-made for war not having much of anything to fight at the time.
