From the frozen northlands, the thick forests and icy mountains, the lands of vicious beasts and monsters come the Gangrel. By turns animalistic and insightful, they embody the most fearsome predators among vampires. From their kind come the tales of such horrors as Grendel and the Norse berserkers. The undisputed masters of the wild ways, the Gangrel are feared and respected for their unmatched prowess in survival. Some, it is whispered, even hunt or deal with the dread Lycanthropes; certainly, their Clan's shape-shifting powers and animal features bring to mind legends of dire wolves.

Ojawashkozi MahiganOJAWASHKOZI MAHIGAN

Player: David K.

Appearance: n/a

Appearance (Mechanics): [0] Appearance-related Traits, obvious Negative Social Traits (Bestial x2), obvious Supernatural Flaw

Description: Ojawashkozi Mahigan recently woke up in a lair underneath some of the more hilly areas of what is now Brooklyn. Since then, he has rapidly been learning about his new environment, including the new tools, machines, and social norms of modern life.

Before going into hibernation, he was a healer and priest of the Carnasee people who lived in the western area of what is now called Long Island. He has been known to speak about the colonization of the area first by the "Nederlanders" (the Dutch) and later the English. It is through his contact with the English that he learned their language, albeit in a form that seems archaic today.

Ojawashkozi Mahigan traveled to many areas of what is now New England in his role as healer, participating in many of the exchanges of goods and knowledge throughout the Algonquian culture. He is quite familiar with the native flora and fauna of the area, and has what were considered to be excellent medical skills when he went into hibernation.

Description: No bio submitted.



Papa Bear"PAPA BEAR"

Player: Doug

Appearance: A typical scruffy-looking Gangrel, Papa Bear's appearance was unmarred by the Gangrel curse for much of his stay in the city - until an inopportune frenzy developed rings of dark fur around his eyes, giving him the appearance of a raccoon. This was appropriate, considering that the two animal forms he was notable for assuming were raccoons and those of his namesake.

Appearance (Mechanics): [0] Appearance-related Traits

Description: "But, Papa Bear said it was true!"

Those words haunt the collective consciousness of Kindred throughout the city. An exceptionally well-traveled, good-natured, and likable fellow, Papa Bear has established his legacy with New York as a ability to spout a continuous and non-ending stream of utter and complete bullshit about things he has seen, done or heard of. One of New York's most eccentric Kindred outside of Clan Tremere, he claimed to have survived alien abduction, to have met a werewolf porn star, to have been Embraced by vampiric mountain lions, and to have endured or witnessed all other manner of other strange and unbelievable things.

Some things he spoke of are a little more believable than others, however, and there is no doubt that Papa Bear has led a weird and varied life. Confirmed witnesses once saw him duel in bear form with Harpy Xerices to avenge the killing of the New York Aquarium's beloved giant sting-ray, Mr. McPancake - only to have his movements stopped by automated spiritually possessed golems. Granted, said witnesses were intoxicated at the time, but it's been said that an evening with Papa Bear seldom proves boring.

Papa Bear hasn't been seen for some time now, and nobody (outside of Papa Bear himself) can tell precisely how this bodes.
