Red Talon

 

Tribal Totem
Griffin

Initial Willpower: 3

Backgrounds:
May not buy human Allies, Contacts, or Resources.  All their Kinfolk are wolves.

Beginning Tribal Gifts:
Beast Speech, Scent of Running Water, Wolf at the Door

Advantage:
At character generation, the Red Talon gains an additional Rage Trait for free.  This is a manifestation of Gaia's favor.  Red Talons have a maximum Rage one higher than members of other Tribes do.  (They may go over their Trait maximum with this Advantage).

Drawback:
The Red Talon's connection to the Wyld is so powerful that they annot regain Gnosis when they are not within deep wilderness.  This is generally far enough from the city that the Gauntlet is lower than 5.  However they can always regain Gnosis at caerns, even those within the heart of a City.

Wolf Form:
Red Talons in their natrual form are larger than full-blooded wolves, with powerful jaws and broad haunches.  Their fur is normally a reddish brown color, but they retain a single lock of blood-red fur somewhere on their bodies;  this is seen as a mark of Gaia's favor to the Talons (and a mark of Her misfavor by some other Garou).
