Thanks-the-Humans (Garou)

**Thanks-the-Humans** is a Red Talon.

## Biography

Your pack's hunting grounds got smaller by the day as humans cut down the trees and cleared away the brush. Your pack followed the prey as the herds moved, but you knew that the humans would follow as well.

You were right -- in a way. The humans found your pack and did not harm them, but studied them and put strange boxes out.

You were wary of these, but they remained for some time without any harm, and the pack began to sleep in them.

And then one day, the humans sealed your pack --- and you -- up inside those boxes and took you away.

You were all afraid, and for you that fear led to the First Change.

You broke out of your box to find yourself in another, much larger one that smelled like the machines that tore down trees.

Cursing yourself for ever trusting humans, you settled back into Lupus form to await this box opening. When it did, however, the humans freed your pack into a vast, new hunting ground with prey to hunt and clean water to drink.

You have found no fences or human machines, and you had decided not to question good fortune when the Red Talons found you.

Their stories of what humans do to wolves disturbed you greatly, because you know that humans don't always behave so shamefully.

You are not an alpha and don't really have the desire to be, but you are very vocal when a Red Talon (or any other Garou, for that matter) starts bad mouthing humans too much.

You have seen, first hand, how kind humans can be. While you understand that if the humans hadn't destroyed your first hunting ground, they would have had to move you, at least they had made that effort!

You are very confused about how humans can move in such different ways as a species. However, you know that there's hope for them -- which means there's hope for the Garou.

Watch any humans your pack encounters. Try to find out why some humans hate and despoil Gaia and some seem to revere Her. You picked up on human language pretty quickly, so use it. Ask strange questions of humans and homid Garou, like " Have you ever saved a wolf?" or "Do you love the Earth?" You'll probably come off as an especially aggressive tree hugger --- unless the human makes you suspect he's one of the "destroy the forest" types.

If the human seems worthy, however, you'll go to great lengths to protect her.

You would dearly love to find the humans who saved your pack and thank them for their kindness.

You would also love to find the humans who drove you from your hunting grounds and "thank" them as well.

**Equipment:** Dedicated clothes, hat from one of the humans who saved your pack (you stole it while he was taking pictures).
