So if you’ve checked the World of Darkness (WoD) tab, you’ve noticed that it says we’re playing a Changing Breeds game on Thursday evenings, but I haven’t written anything about it. This is because as a player I am seeing things from a different perspective. It’s easier for me to write these updates when I am running a game, but since I will have two games that I am playing in rather than running active on this site, I figured I should get used to the idea. So this will be my first posting about our WoD game. Oh and for those that don’t know, Changing Breeds is a game about the were-everything else that isn’t a wolf.
First off let me say that character bios will be put up on the page soon. I will start with some character information here so that you don’t get lost when I say character names. First we have my character. She’s a young, small, very attractive Asian (half Japanese/half-Chinese) girl who has a wild streak in her. She tends to race in illegal street races not unlike those seen in the Fast & Furious movies Her name is Mai, and she shifts into of all things, an elephant.
Then we have Carla, a werespider that never changes out of spider form if she can help it. There’s Capricia, a werecoyote that is a mobster’s estranged wife with a vampire boyfriend. Logan is a werebear (well actually a were-prehistoric bear) that has been sleeping for a long time and is trying to learn about the modern world. We have a redneck werelizard (specifically a komodo dragon) that I cannot remember the name of at this moment (and the sheets are in the other room with my sleeping roommate). My character doesn’t pay much attention to him because well…he drinks too much and smells funny which is why I don’t remember his name. Corbin is our leader and is a mechanic weretiger. And lastly we have a relative newcomer, a werepanther thief by the name of Sirana.
So we started out with all of us feeling a pull or call to a location in the middle of nowhere. There each character in turn stumbled into the spirit realm and, surprisingly enough, a bar, with a spirit bartender named Rex. We made each other’s acquaintance and got sent to look for Logan and wake him up. Except someone had already woken him up by the time we got there. They were human hunters, and we would eventually find out that they work for an organization known as Operation 12th Night.
Right now they are our main (but not only) antagonists. They are humans that have government funding and backing that know about our kind (and other supernatural creatures) and hunt us down so that they can experiment on us for some reason. Or at least that’s the information we have on them so far.
All my character knows at this time is they tried to infiltrate her underground race circles, hurt her and her friends, captured Sirana (that’s how we met her, we rescued her from one of their bases), and they have nifty toys like the stealth helicopter that she stole from them. So at this point we’ve fought them on a couple of occasions, along with some werewolves that may or may not be working with them (the werewolves tried to buy the land that has the rift into our spirit bar), and we are as I type this infiltrating, or rather bashing our way into, their primary base in the area.
So this update has been pretty long since I had so much ground to cover. Next week I will have a more detailed post about our session.
