FURY REVENANT FAMILY
By Adam Solis (ajsolis@aol.com) (5 June 1996)
Nickname
Background
The Furies are the result of the continued use of Garou ghouls by the Fallen Angel clan. With but a few generations, the Furies were born. Anybody who cares to point out that Metis are not fertile should take a look at Rage Across Australia, the Black Spiral Dancer pack included in that book included two parents who were Metis! If one still does not like the idea of fertile Metis should consider the possibilities of Thaumaturgy. Both the paths of Runes and the college of passion could certainly allow a Metis to breed.
Disciplines
Serpentis, Visceratika, and Sanguinus. Furies of different affiliations can also use "semi-clan" disciplines depending upon their allegiance.CyberFuries: These furies serve the Silicon Angels. Their semiclan discipline is Technica. Vicissitude or Rank can be chosen as the second semiclan discipline.
NightFuries: These furies serve the Shadow Angels. Their semiclan disciplines are Obtenebration and Nihilitics.
AquaFuries: These Furies serve the enigmatic Sea Angels. Their semiclan discipline is Aquam. AquaFuries can also choose between Vicissitude and Rank as the second semiclan discipline.
The Basics: These Furies serve the regular clan and/or the Antitribu. Their semiclan disciplines are Rank and Vicissitude.
Advantage
Furies start out with a blood pool of 50/6. That reflects the higher blood pool of all Garou as well as the fact that it is the Fallen Angel Phoenix, an Antediluvian or better, who originally donated blood to the Furies. Like all Revenants, Furies increase their blood pool by 1 for every century they have lived.
Weaknesses
First of all, since all Furies are Metis, they all possess at least 1 Metis Deformity. Furies also have the wings caused by learning Visceratika, and Furies are incapable of turning off Serpentis 1- the Serpent's Gaze. Of course, Furies are fully subject to the derangements from learning Vicissitude. Furies are all considered Ronin, if not Wyrm tainted, by other Garou because of their appearance and Kindred ties. Finally, Furies are a part of the same Sanguinus network as all Fallen Angels, so if they misbehave the Clan will know about it.
Tribe
Furies can be of any tribe, although certain tribes are more likely to affiliate with certain bloodlines than most.Antitribu: Darkwolves, PaleWolves, NightWolves, Bone Gnawers, Wendigo, Uktena, Ymir's Sweat, and Children of Gaia.
CyberFuries: Predominantly Glass Walkers.
NightFuries: Silent Striders, Ghoti
AquaFuries: Croagal, Moon Circle Dancers
Deformities
Any, but Neurosis, Albino, serpent's tongue, and hypersensitivity are the most common choices.
Rank
Furies have renown, but their renown is only acknowledged by themselves and the Fallen Angels. Rank is however a discipline for the Furies, just as it is with the Warriors of Gaia bloodline. Therefore the limitations on gift learning do not depend upon renown, much like the Rokea. All Furies have one dot in Rank, but they must improve Rank at nonclan discipline or Caitiff (if Rank is chosen as a semiclan discipline) costs.
Character Creation
Much like Abominations, Furies have humanity/enlightenment and sabbat virtues. Preferred paths are Death and the Soul; Harmony; Inner Focus; and Power and Inner Voice. Of course, many Furies keep the Ego path. Just as with Abominations, the humanity/enlightenment of a Fury initially equals Gnosis or according to their virtues, whichever is higher.
Auspice
Not limited, there are Furies of every auspice.
Fetishes
Furies have access to the Cat o' Nine tails fetish. Its abilities are dependent apon the rating it is purchased. The cat o' nine tails acts as Ward against creatures according to its rating. The handle is cosidered a different piece so that they are not subject to their own weapons.- Ghouls
- Ghouls and lupines
- Ghouls, lupines, and kindred
- Ghouls, lupines, kindred, and spirits
- All of the above, plus it acts as a Rotscreck ward against all of the above. Therefore those creatures that can frenzy will most likely run away at the first blow.
Names
Fury names are usually a combination of an Angel name and a name apropriate to the Fury's tribe. One example might be "Uriel Slays the Wyrm".
