STATISTICS

Character Name: Ren O'Neill (Known in Garou society as Rages-Against-The-Odds)
Character Canon: Original (Werewolf: The Apocalypse)
Character Age: 31
Canon Point: Heading out on a mission to go deal with the fairies. AGAIN. 
Link to History: Link
Skills: 

COMBAT - Ren has been trained to and excels in killing with every type of weapon commonly available in an American werewolf sept, including handguns and rifles. Her preferred weapon is an axe or her teeth. 

SURVIVAL - Ren has a wealth of survival skills ranging from finding fresh water and prey, shelter and fire-starting. She is a highly competent animal hunter, both as a human and as a wolf. She can easily survive in the woods with nothing more than her teeth and claws. 

FIREFIGHTING - As part of her cover for living a 'normal' non-werewolf life, Ren is  a volunteer fire fighter. She takes part in search and rescue missions, emergency calls and yes even getting cats out of trees. She is decently knowledgeable in fire safety and rescue. 

Abilities: 

SHAPESHIFTING - Ren has five distinct werewolf forms that she can shift into. Transformation between forms is painful (although she's used to that now) and requires a 'halfway' transformation if 'skipping' between forms. This can be done instantly if fuelled by rage, but elsewise, she is most comfortable and confident in Homid.
  • Homid (Human Form) - her 'breed' form, Ren is 6t 3" and would pass for a physically capable woman even in this shape.
  • Glabro (Wolfman Form) - larger and more powerful than human form, but undeniably inhuman thanks to the hair, strength and additional muscles that power this form. Does come with the disadvantage of looking distinctly unhuman. 
  • Crinos (War Form) - the most 'traditional' werewolf, bipedal monster of 8ft. Claws, fangs and enhanced healing factor. Crinos can provoke delirium in humans from Ren's world, a natural response to werewolves having hunted humans in generations past. 
  • Hispo (Dire Wolf Form) - larger than your average wolf and far more vicious.
  • Lupus (Wolf Form) - a large black wolf with glossy fur and bright yellow eyes. An apex predator. 
AHROUN - Physically, Ren is a supernatural warrior know as an Ahroun. She is extremely strong, durable and dextrous. She can take a fatal hit and get back up again thanks to the rage that fuels her. This makes her far more difficult to kill than your average person. It does, however, make her susceptible to falling into a frenzy and tearing people apart if she doesn't have control over herself. Thankfully she has an extremely honed self-control. 

GIFTED BY GAIA - Ren is the recipient of many gifts from Gaia that allow her to do things that ordinary humans couldn't. Some are limited by gnosis - I've made these clear as Ren will have limited access to these in Rubilykskoye. A full list of her Gifts can be found here

CHARACTERIZATION

FORMATIVE EXPERIENCES:
  • The Change: - Ren was raised knowing werewolves were real. Her father was one and if she was lucky, she might become one too. She changed when she was seventeen, nearly killing her brother Lark in the process. The change was violent, painful and awful but instantly her position in society changed; in one horrible afternoon Ren went from being a mouthy kinfolk to an exciting young warrior full of promise. This gave her a purpose in life - something that made her worthwhile. Ren considers this the 'start' of her life. 

  • Rage Across the Atlantic: - Once she passed her Rite of Initiation, Ren was sent to America to go an lend strength to a sept of Garou in America. Ren had never been without her family for more than a day so at eighteen, she experienced harsh culture shock when thrown in with a group of other young werewolves and told to make a pack with them. They were all from different countries, tribes and species. She immediately stepped into the role of alpha, determined to seize her destiny of outstripping the accomplishments of her father. 
  • Johan: - Less than a year after joining the sept, Ren's best friend and packmate Johan was slain in combat with a Black Spiral Dancer. Johan had been like another brother to her since the first day they met. After this, Ren changes the pack's name to 'Never Say Die' in honour of him and vowed to destroy every single BSD that she came across. This was the first painful realisation for Ren that friends can and will die in the fight against the apocalypse. This redoubled her efforts to protect her pack from danger - often leading her to throwing herself into danger's way to protect them. 

  • Alba Jr: - For many years, Ren resisted the call for her to settle down and take a mate. Despite herself, she took a mate at 27, but they maintained an open relationship on both sides (with middling success). She eventually fell pregnant and eventually gave birth to their first daughter Alba. Becoming a mother has changed her as nothing else has. She is determined that Alba won't grow up into a world where she has to fight as Ren has, even if that costs Ren her life. Motherhood has opened a world of empathy and emotional intelligence that she simply didn't have before.


PHILOSOPHY: The lone wolf dies while the pack survives. Ren holds true to the principles of Garou society that the only way they're going to survive the apocalypse is through unity and teamwork. Being put into a diverse pack gave her an appreciation of hearing opposing opinions and methodologies. While in most situations, she situates herself to take control as a natural leader, she does so with respect for other's merits and abilities. But sometimes, you just need a big bitch to make a decision.

Fianna like Ren acknowledge three virtues; hospitality, generosity and bravery and she both tries to embody these virtues and seek them out in others. People who show these qualities are considered worthwhile to her mind. 

While she values tradition and duty, Ren is a big believer in measuring a person's worth on their deeds rather than their words or past. Ren's philosophy is quite set. It is difficult to sway her world-view at this point in her life. 

DESIRES: Be the Best - It all comes down to that. From the moment she changed, Ren had no other desire than to be the best. She has a fierce competitive spirit. 

Protect her kin - 



FEARS: The apocalypse is coming and it's going to kill everything she loves. All Garou live with the ever-present fear of the apocalypse. Ren's fear of it has only gotten worse as she's gotten older and she's gained more to lose. She worries about dying and leaving her daughter behind to grow up without her. Ren has shifted in recent years from being a glory-hound to focusing on defending and protecting those she cares about, even altering the gifts she's learnt to help defend them better. Every fight she fights is with the knowledge that she has to survive for Alba.
