spitefulvitae: (A Touch Mad)

By popular demand... the World of Darkness meme!


It's a Dark, Dark World.

Mostly old World of Darkness based, but if you like the New WoD, go for it!

The world is filled with cruelty, corruption, and despair. Lurking in the darkness... monsters. Of all kinds, origins, and forms. Creatures of evil and destruction, only marginally more familiar than the unknown terrors.

And now you're one of them.


This is a World of Darknessā„¢ inspired meme! Your character transforms into one of the following monstrous creatures listed below, and suffers the plight one faces as a result.

Since we like to play it fast and loose here at We the Lost, feel free to brainstorm what your characters would be, speculate how you'd interact with each other, and maybe even thread out a thing or two, if that's to your fancy!


1. Vampire: Whether you were Embraced by another Vampire in violence or in seduction, your transformation is powerful and traumatizing. Your body craves the blood, and the blood gives you eerie supernatural powers. Powers to control the mind, to enslave men, and the immortality to set any plans into motion you so deem... how do you spend eternity in your fight against boredom?
2. Werewolf: You lived for some time with no knowledge of your lineage, of the blood in your veins. A great power awakens in you, and in a moment of unfathomable anger you white out. And when you wake, you awaken to a shower of gore, your hands shrinking from giant clawed paws to what you recognize as fingers. Now there is that ever-present primal rage, simmering below the surface and urging you towards great and righteous battle against evils and against monstrous spirits...
3. Mage: Humans have long since been known to be wise and enlightened... but when your Avatar appears in your mind and your soul, you see the face of true enlightenment. You have the powers to shape and mold reality to be as you perceive it. Do you see the world as a canvas to paint upon? Do you see it as a weaving, with threads of fate that you can remove and displace? What is your reality, and how do you influence it?
4. Changeling: The world is dark, bleak, and worst of all it is simply banal. But deep inside was something hidden, that awakens from the dream. And now, with the powers of the Fae, you have the ability to inspire and combat banality with inspiration and imagination. But is the fight against the darkness and cruelty of the world a losing battle?
5. Hunter: With all of these monsters roaming the world, what is a human to do? They're powerless to protect themselves... or so it seems. You find yourself granted the power to see these monsters, to try and hold them in place and to be resourceful enough to destroy them. If you can manage the voices in your head or the madness of seeing the supernatural, be careful to not forget that you are just as painfully mortal as you were before...
6. Demon: At your lowest moment, when you lost yourself and your soul died, your body welcomed into it a new force. Deep inside nestled a new consciousness, which absorbed everything you were. You are now that Being, and that being is You. And You recall, faintly, a great war. You remember being an angel, a very being of creation, a very concept of reality such as the Breath of Life or the Illumination of Fire. And You remember what Hell was... it was not fire and brimstone. That would have been nice. It was a void of nothingness, where You could not even sense Yourself, since the fall of reality. And you have every reason to be resentful.
7. Other: Know how the Hengeyokai work? Want to be one of the Changing Breeds? Or maybe represent for Mummy, Wraith, Geist, Promethean, or another World of Darkness title? Do whatever you like! Have a blast!

I figure after his first change Ienzo probably gets bounced around various Garou mentors for a while because there aren't many Bastets out and about and of those all have more important things to do than look after some stray. It's not like the wolves know what to do with him either though so eventually the local pack just dumps him on Bertie. Here, you're both inept. Make friends.

I mean he's got an obnoxious werecrow and a werecrocodile looking out for him but apparently werewolf relationships with both of the above are a bit strained.

Well, this is going to go super well. Bertie tries to avoid the local pack as much as humanly possible because he just wants to pretend he's HUMAN. The MOST HUMAN. He's super wary about Ienzo at first because what do they mean, dumping this other chappie on my doorstep? But he's too much of a social animal for that to keep up, so he'd start following Ienzo about, asking him questions. After all, since Bertie tries to avoid other werewolves, he doesn't get to talk to many wereanythings. How are werecats different? SO STRANGE!

Ienzo probably doesn't so much live with him at first as just show up a lot because whoever's in charge of making sure none of the local weres flip out and break everyone's cover thinks it'll be good for both of them to have friends with Shared Experiences. Ideally it'd be with their own kind or at least mainstream Garou society but Bertie's got his problems and Ienzo's a bit freaked out by the actual pack members thanks to their having some residual clan grudges against cats so you two go be weird in the corner together.

Hopefully they don't actually get on the subject of their shared experiences though because I can't see "How'd your first change go" "I killed a deer" "Oh, I mauled my Philosophy professor" going all that well.

Well, now you realize that conversation must happen. Bertie would just kind of... stare at Ienzo, then maybe lean away in the most subtle way possible. Hiding from him for the next few days would probably ensue before Bertie finally worked up the nerve to approach. And the first words out of his mouth, "My sister eviscerated three of her classmates when she changed the first time. They never told me, but she wrote to me after I changed the first time."
