				The reason I called it Turkey Hill is for a code word they'd use for where to meet up near the lighthouse. <br><br>The setting will be taking place in Maryland in one of the state parks of the area. Taking place here at Elk Neck State Park (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elk_Neck_State_Park) and Turkey Point Lighthouse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey_Point_Light)<br><br>Elk Neck State Park is a good area to run the game. The area is large enough to hide a pack of wolves running around and yet has enough camping space to make it seem just like a large camping trip. There are plane area, mountains to climb, trails to walk, and swamps to avoid. With that said the park is actually broken up into 2 areas. The North and the South sections are separated by residential area where houses are. This means the cubs would have to play smart when out and about. Hunters are in the area as well during hunting season. <br><br>8 miles from the park is a small urban area, a town called North East. This brings out other training factors. Urban missions. Well not really urban I'd say the area was more rural suburbia. The area is no where near that of a big city. There are things like fast food chains, the local college and roads that could in fact it traveled on for a long time lead out to major cities such as Baltimore to the south and Philadelphia to the North. It also is really close to Interstate Route 95. This roadway runs from the northern tip of the east coast all the way down to the southern most tip of the Florida peninsula. <br>

				<br>I haven't decided on a fixed idea to go with yet still letting the ideas float about and seeing what I can come up with, one that was sort of sticking out that I was thinking may work with the sort of rural setting was a Child of Gaia conservationist who would be a sort of naturalist who perhaps works in the area studying and trying to preserve and observe natural habitats and teach others to do the same. I sort of picture her as someone that is probably well known for her work and opinions, although not someone many take interest in because she is seen as a bit loopy and naive. I imagine her as the kind of person who probably would like spend a week living near a bunch of wolves and trying to study them, although without the delusion that they where "friendly"she is a naturalist after all. I had the idea that she probably does tours, weekends and such uses them as a platform to try teach others and make them respect the world a bit more.<br><br>I was also pondering a Uktena since I haven't done that for awhile, knowing me thougth ill probably end up deciding on a Fury if nobody else does that would be interesting to work up a concept for. <br><br>&nbsp;

				Presently I am not sure which of the ideas I have for character concepts to go with, I have a few sticking in my head now which I think could be fun and work well.&nbsp; <br><br>At present my ideas are for a naturalist/conservationist Child of Gaia who works in the local parks/campgrounds etc and is involved with various activities, the concept could work either way as a Theurge or Galliard with a bit of tweaking.&nbsp; &nbsp; <br><br>I also have ideas for a Black Fury Philodox park ranger concept and a runaway troubled "young adult" drifter Ahroun who probably ended up in the place via hitchhiking or with a gang of other drifters, I don't really dig Ahroun so id probably only play this concept if all other auspices where filled and well it seamed more appropriate.&nbsp; &nbsp; <br><br>Finally I have been pondering the idea of an Uktena Theurge or Philodox who has come to the area because it was once a home to her ancestors, and well she have spiritual reasons for coming to the area and probably be the most aware of her nature and the challenge ahead out of my concepts thus far.&nbsp; I imagine that she would work in the tourism industry slightly begrudgingly and speak of the areas history and customs of the native American tribes that once inhabited the area before they where all scattered elsewhere.&nbsp; I imagine she be sort of staying with perhaps related in some way to the Piscataway-Conoy Confederacy.<br><br>Is there anything in particular that you would like to see Krysia or indeed would not like to see ? <br><br>What is going to be the sort of starting point for the story too, and how aware do you want or not want characters to be, will we already know each other and have been like organized into like a pack or such ?

				I'm really just wanting people to play what they want as long as the concept fits. The area is pretty much forest/trails/swamp and such. And does have a bunch of humans in the area. <br><br>I'd like to see people happy with their characters. :)<br><br>I just don't want to see a combat character as a cub. 4's and 5's are pretty much going to be gone over with a fine tooth comb, also if you can write a convincing history explaining them then it's fine. I just don't want to hear things as "he's been in martial arts school since he was 3," why? because this area really doesn't have too many schools for that. Believability is the key here.

				<br>I am not planning to have any 4's or 5's in abilities really heh and certainly not in combat abilities even if I ended up playing an Ahroun, those are always things I think should be gained in play if at all there more fun to do that way anyway in my opinion.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>I love believability too yay :)<br><br>

				<br>Yeah ex-military and cops is a bit daft for Garou, some Ahroun have a hard time holding down any job of course once you actually become a Garou gets even more complicated :P I think they would make great bailiffs thougth, probably be a quick interview like I imagine most may be with some Garou. <br><br>I actually was doing some research and found a job in the area that would fit my Child of Gaia concept kinda perfectly, that was happy and inspirational.

				I'm still in the process of coming up with NPCs for the game. @.@ Most probably will end up park rangers of some sort. Though I'm going to actually post up the area around it as well. Including the town that is 8 miles from the park. This way people can expand on their ideas. Though not much is around it for jobs or such.
