As for myself, I like the idea of an established pack, though probably a loose one- maybe it was bigger, and has taken some losses recently?  That would explain why they don't know each other well yet, though saves us some trouble of drawing together. (And making Blythe rewrite things. :)) Also, I see my character as something of a newcomer anyway.<br/><br/>And while it's too late for me not to read too many sourcebooks, I don't worry about making sure canon shows up in games- games are games, and the canon is just a suggestion or an idea.
