Rascal Rabbit

By Rick Jones (rick@blkbox.com)

Totem of Cunning

Description

A side effect of the modern era is the forms that spirits take these days. The City Fathers and the American Dream are some of the more famous versions of the power of the collective unconscious. Rumors of Elvis being a totem to a group of Glass Walker Galliards only brings chuckles around the fire.

But then there's Rascal. A Glass Walker Theurge in California claimed that he had bound a powerful trickster spirit into his television set. When his pack showed up at his home, they found the Theurge tied to a chair with strange elastic cords and gagged with a carrot. Around his neck hung a placard bearing the words, "Ain't I a stinker? --R.R."

Since then, Rascal has appeared to a few packs, mostly those consisting mostly of Ragabashes. Followers of Rascal (who usually call themselves "Rascals") tend to be highly creative monkeywrenchers, ones who get more pleasure in embarrassing the Wyrm rather than simply fighting it.

Rascal lives in a section of the Televison realm, where he constantly battles his onscreen enemies, "Abner Dud", and "Dopey Duck."

Benefits

Ragabash who follow Rascal get a bonus 100 Wisdom. They get an extra two dice of Subterfuge, and can use the gift "Create Element" once a day, usually for humorous effect.

Drawbacks

Any other Auspice who follow Rascal lose 100 Honor. Rascals must try to use trickery over violence or lose the benefits of Rascal's blessings (-100 to -500 Wisdom, depending on the offense).
