A walk on the wild side

Hoof, tooth and claw

• Premise
  • The character is a member of a stone age hunter gathering tribe. In the prime of his life. Unlike the other dog using tribes of the area, the Long tooth clan are an ancient Hsunchen people, who came from the far away, who have lost their link to their ancestor spirit... Shadow Cat.

• • Myths say that their matriarch mother Shadow cat came to the lands and was woed by Votank, this made brother dog angry and he killed Shadow cat and hid all her children far away in other lands. Since that time they have lost both their lynx companions and their associated cat powers. You could believe you are a cat who has been trapped in human form or a human who has lost their cat powers. All members of the clan have vague catlike attributes, cat like eyes, or elongated ears, hairier than normal perhaps, some are lazy or others sexual predators. But they look 99% human.

• Hunting grounds
  • Far to the North, way away from other human clans.They are nomadic, but during the winter seasons they shelter in their holy site amongst the bones of a long dead dinosaur, centered around the mystical Longtooth cat stone. Myths and cave paintings tell that it once carried a village on its back, filled with dragon creatures. But out of the South came a man of the sun, who killed them all.

• • The land: Tall grasses, clumps of trees, river, hills and mountains to the East, full of Trolls. A lone mountain to the south with gryphons. Bison, deer, dinosaurs that local myths tie in with the giant skeleton that the clan lives under, aldyami (elves) in the big forests, Pentan horse nomads to the North. Dog Votanki to the South , where there are rumours of three giant built citadels.

• • The clan follows the way of Found child the hunting god, and pray to their ancestors. Shadow Cat answers, but is unable to bestow any powers until the cats are brought back.....

• • New blood is always welcome to the tribe. Their are several members of the tribe, who as children were snatched from elsewhere, or prisoners offered their freedom if they joined and made a family.
