New Ways Old Grudges Werewolf Jason

Jason Foster

"Bears the Weight"/ Bear (nickname) Metis Glasswalker Galliard Concept: Omega Assistant Campaign: New Ways Old Grudges

Metis Condition: Bear has a severe birthmark over his entire body, making his skin blotchy and red, and his fur change colors from brown to red in an obviously unnatural manner. His physique is also somewhat...odd. he can cover up with clothing, but it's obvious when in war form or naked that his musculature is strange.

Appearance: In Homid, Bear is a big guy, six foot eight and built like a linebacker. His skin ranges from coffee to burnt eggs, and he has one brown and one blue eye. He normally wears hoodies and other large bulky and concealing clothes, even in hot weather.

His lupus/Crinos forms are an odd-looking wolf, with his fur shifting between a deep brown and a harsh orange-red.

History: "Mom and Dad met at a Nine Inch Nails concert in '84. Apparently, "are you a shapeshifting warrior for Gaia?" never came up. Dad lived in Nebraska, Mom in Denver, and nine months later everyone was really surprised when I popped out as a bouncing, squirming, mass-changing nightmare. All things considered, I've been lucky--Denver had a decent number of Garou to watch over me, there were even a few other Metis to hang around, and Mom actually loved me. Dad...well, they say he died a few years after I was born charging headlong into a Pentex trap. I...hope he did that because he wanted to, not because he had any guilt."

"So I was born to a decent tribe that didn't instantly think I was a monster. I helped where I could--somedays it was lifting stuff, some days it was working as a code monkey, some days it was being another regenerating pair of hands with a machine gun against some really ugly bastards--and that's coming from me! So I learned, I grew up--then I grew REALLY up--and one day the elders decided that I could do more."

"Yeah, I'm ugly. Yeah, I'm a sign of terrible things to the old school Garou and the humans (I can at least be a warning of "beware what they put in your water!!" to the humans). Yeah I stand out like a seven foot tall sore thumb, and yeah, I'll never be a real leader or get much in the way of status for anything. That's okay though. Omega's not a bad thing--Omegas can take a hit or take the blame or take somebody off guard because nobody expects much from them. We aren't playing politics like some lick--we're fighting a war. War means you need folks to sit down, shut up, and follow orders. It means being okay not doing the glamourous charge up the hill, but instead being the guy who makes sure your car's oil was checked so you can get to the damn hill."

"Too many of us think we have to die gloriously in battle. I think we ought to just win more fights than the other guy."
