Pardon my brief absence. Had some personal issues.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=312414.msg15140932#msg15140932">Quote from: Hawkwood on 28-10-2019, 20:29:46</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">1) Pre-existing sept makes me nervous when all the important people are NPCs, I worry about losing agency to the agendas of powerful NPCs.

There will be plenty of opportunities for the players to take the reigns on matters and maybe even change the way the sept is handled. As for backgrounds and such, the big restriction there is that you will have been there for about a couple of years. But with that I have also left NPC slots open where you can fill in with NPCs of your own that can be bought for background points, as well as people your characters would know outside of the sept and town.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=312414.msg15140932#msg15140932">Quote from: Hawkwood on 28-10-2019, 20:29:46</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">2) Rural sept makes me nervous because I tend towards Glasswalkers<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Unfortunate. Oakridge is a small down but the nearest city (Eugene) is less than an hour's drive away and Portland is about 150 miles away. Besides that I personally don't think Glasswalkers are defined by large cities but by their closer ties to humans and their contraptions.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=312414.msg15140932#msg15140932">Quote from: Hawkwood on 28-10-2019, 20:29:46</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">3) Fixed makes me nervous because I tend towards wanderers - Stargazers, Silent Striders. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Here I can't help.

Yes, I realise that we'd be RPing as werewolves, but I like to bring as much truth / accuracy to a game as possible. I do not think I could convincingly RP as an American. It's telling that I'm more willing to try and RP as a theurge! And I tend towards European tribes - Silver Fangs and Shadowlords.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I addressed this earlier.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=312414.msg15141667#msg15141667">Quote from: Muse on 29-10-2019, 05:05:31</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Oh.

You decide if you want the pack to be cemented since a way back or reforged from fractured packs. And no need to invest points for the pack totem, it's a freebie on me.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=312414.msg15144980#msg15144980">Quote from: Senti on 31-10-2019, 10:58:55</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Do i send my concept PM?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Please do.
