Game Info
Wendigo is a small group roleplay set mostly in Missoula, Montanta. All characters are Hunters, Shifters, or ordinary humans. Information about each group can be found below the cut.
A list of Held/Taken PBs can be found HERE.
§ HUNTERS: In 1884, when the pressure from large cattle companies forced Montana to issue high bounties for wolf skins, the tradition of "wolfers" was born. While werecreatures had existed in the Rockies long before this, it wasn't until the wholesale war on wolfkind that anyone dangerous found out. One group of wolfers, after killing a small pack of wolves, were horrified to find human skins hanging in place of their hard earned wolf pelts. Disgusted and angered by this abomination of nature, this group of men charged themselves with finding and destroying these creatures. And so a secretive coterie of hunters began. Their knowledge and techniques have been passed down through a strict family lineage.
§ WOLVES: The oldest and most common breed of shifters, wolves follow a strict social order based on strength and cunning. They exist in a close knit group and lone wolves living outside of the pack don't survive long. Unlike the other breeds of shifters, the wolf gene is passed only through the father, and resides heavily in males. While a female mutation of this gene exists, it is extremely rare and the few female wolves that exist today have survived a werewolf attack. An attack will create a wolf if the human survives the fever and the first shift. Born werewolves have their first shift around puberty.
§ COYOTES: Coyotes bond together in much smaller groups than wolves. It is not uncommon for only three coyotes to form a working pack. As a result, no "alpha" exists for the coyotes. Their shift comes more easily than any of the other species, but most of their other shifting dynamics are the same as their larger cousins the wolves.
§ BEARS: Naturally, bears are solitary and fearsome animals. Because of this, their shifter counterparts have very little social structure and many prefer to stick by themselves. Their bites are deadly and no known survivors of werebear attacks exist. As a result, their numbers are few and all bears are born that way. They shift later in life than the other breeds, bodies needing to be fully mature to handle the uniquely difficult shift. The average age for the first shift is 21. Bears are extremely powerful and few dare mess with them.
§ MOUNTAIN LIONS: Even though their animal counterparts follow no social structure whatsoever, the werelions of the Rockies have a king. This is determined through family lineage and not fighting within the pride. It has been said that this is the reason the Mountain Lions are, as a group, weaker than the wolves, even though they are more powerful animals individually. Unlike the wolves, the mountain lions do not live together. They are extremely secretive as a breed and little is known about them to the other shifters. Mountain lions have immense control over their shifts, and their first shift can take place as early as 8 years old.
§ ERMINE: A hardy and highly adaptable creature, the ermine is a small but mighty white weasel, just as at home in the suburbs as it is in the forest. Likewise, weremine have an easy time living and shifting in more human populated areas. Hunters are often not interested in this breed as it seems to pose no threat to humans and its bite is too weak to be contagious. Often times, a weremine will offer information to hunters in exchange for protection from the other breeds who look down on them as pests and rodents.
§ OTHERS: There are many other breeds of shifters residing in the Rockies as well as the rest of the world. Little is known of them, however, and frequently they are the only one of their kind, a strange anomally of genes sparking after generations of suppression.
