Backgrounds

Ajaba use all of the same Backgrounds as the Garou, although high Pure Breed becomes increasingly rare as the Ajaba scramble to shore up their decimated numbers.As social creatures, werehyenas are much more likely to have pack totems than personal ones.

Background

Bastet use most of the same Backgrounds as Garou, eschewing only Ancestors (with the exception of Swara). They use personal rather than pack totems, however (calling such patrons “Jamak”).

Backgrounds

The timeless Rokea don’t have Ancestors, and don’t concern themselves with Pure Breed. They can have at most a single dot of Kinfolk, as their shark Kin are spread so far across the seas, and their human relations are so very few.

Backgrounds

Corax rarely stick with any single Mentor for an appreciable length of time, and dismiss Pure Breed as elitist nonsense. They have no pack or personal Totems, either; Raven claims each Corax for his own, granting them one free dot of Athletics, Enigmas, and Subterfuge. In return he asks only that they whisper each secret they learn into the air, that he might hear it as well. Corax can, of course, purchase the Secrets and Umbral Maps Backgrounds (see “Shared Backgrounds,” p. 212).

Concepts Although all Gurahl are not incentivized (no starting XP), the following breed/tribe combinations would be considered common-to-rare in San Diego.

Common	Forest Walkers, Homid Breed
Uncommon	River Keepers, Mountain Guardians, Ursine
Rare	Ice Stalkers

Backgrounds

Kitsune use many of the same Backgrounds as the Garou, eschewing only Pure Breed as redundant — werefoxes are all of the purest blood, after all. Those not associated with a sentai or other pack-group may have either a personal totem or no totem at all.

Backgrounds

Nuwisha use the same Backgrounds as Garou, as well as Umbral Maps (see “Shared Backgrounds,” p. 212). Virtually all Nuwisha have a personal totem, inevitably a trickster spirit of some sort. Rarely, a Nuwisha will bind herself into a pack of other Fera — but only if the pack is united under a trickster totem.

Backgrounds

Ratkin generally don’t have much in the way of Resources or Allies, and don’t have Ancestors or Pure Breed at all. Some wererats establish themselves under a permanent Totem, while others use a special rite to temporarily assume a Totem for the duration of only a single mission or quest, dissolving their bond to the spirit once their task is done.

Fera Kinfolk are to apply the same rule of rarity to their main counterparts. See to the main tab of the Fera that you are wanting to be kinfolk to.

Nagah can only be app'd in as a group of 3+. No solo Nagah.

<Backgrounds>

The self-imposed isolation of the Nagah prevents them from having many Allies; Mentors are likewise rare. Nagah do not purchase the Totem Background; the Wani and their servants don’t act as personal or “pack” totems, and no other spirits are entitled to do so. A Nagah nest counts as a bonded pack for all system purposes, but no totem bond exists.
