He is well muscled (works out lots) (if born with a rather weedy body, atleast he tries. Think a dancer with unfocused training :). His smile is charming and welcoming and his eyes have a sharp sparkle of life/fun in them, under his almost black eyebrows. He has long black hair tied in a ponytail. He usually dresses in snappy casual attire, either robe type gowns when with his flock/pack and snappy casual (80ies type miami vice type stuff or a suit minus tie). On his chest, over his heart, he has a tao symbol tattooed on his chest (or is it child of gaia? :). Crinos: Large and still thin wolfman. Very long black furr with a healthy glisten. In this form, his purebreed radiates. Just noticable is a lighter patch of hair above the heart. Lupin: Flower like. But seriously.. A black/dark grey haired wolf with piercingly intelligent eyes. Specialities: Charisma, captivating. Equipment: Witty repaitay? Quirks: Potential loony. Believes he is one of Gaia's chosen, which he is in a way. Has become somewhat used to being treated as one of the chosen as he doesnt interact with mundanes much any more. Motivations: Initally to bring the awe of Gaia to the world (starting with the chosen). After interaction with Garou, probably to bring their glory to the world (and to fight the good fight). Age: 29. First change was at age 15 Past: 0-8 Wyrm agents tracked his father to his home and attacked. Father was killed while giving his mother time to escape. Mother went to ground, taking the lad out to the country. His mother stayed in a country town and worked in a farming supply shop. She died (accident?) and he was taken in by a local farm family at age 8. The family were strongly christian, but that was never something Jack (Ambrose) shared. 13 His first change was on the day of his 13th birthday. Always loving nature and remembering something of his mother talking to him about gaia and the wonders of nature, Ambrose knew at once that it was a gift and manifestation of the Earth. 13-15 He tried to fit in but it became increasingly more difficult. Soon he was obviously not a believer and the church lessons served to only teach him how to argue religion. He was punished by his stepfather, but somehow, any wound or pain seemed to fade. He discovered that if he was cut, then he could consentrate and the area in question would become hairer heal (partial transformation and garou regeneration). He started having attracting many of the girls at school and very soon this became a problem. When his step fathers daughter, Stacy, fell in love with him, and he with her. That was the last straw, he was chased out of home. 15 Being 15 and knowing that gaia had blessed him, he accepted it and moved on. He decided to head to the city. He was only a little surprised when a day later, Stacy caught up with him. He changed his name to Ambrose and they traveled the state. He showed her his abilities and she became entranced by him even more. 15-17 They made there way to the city and soon Ambrose's personality had made him the central figure at the squat. Finding satisfying work proved hard but Ambrose's chief asset was his charisma and that got him work in sales. Stacy got a job too and soon the two had saved enough money to move up in the world. 17-18 They met some friends from a conservation society meeting and they started sharing a house with these people. Soon Ambrose was the alpha of the house. More and more people started to collect around him and soon he was local presedent of the socity. Stacy who had just become pregnant changed her name to Mist Frith. 19 Their daughter Elsbeth, was born. 19-23 Mist was first to grow impatient with the red tape of the organistaion. Soon she suggested starting their own society. They did and soon Ambrose found himself as the spiritual center of a group that were celebrating gaia. 21 Son Gaian is born. 24 The Society is a full time job for both Ambrose and Mist. It breaks up and reduces to the core members. Turns into the quasi-religious cult that it currently is. Is now known as 'the Whole' or 'the Society'. With the reduction in numbers to those who either share the belief or who are totally under Ambrose's magnetism, the focus changes. Rationalisation of resources leads to the purchase of a communal farm in +++++ and the house in Hartwell. With the communal living and the more cult-ish nature of the new life, Ambrose is required to spend more time as leader and less with Mist. Mist (who is now working mostly on the 'admin' side of things) is overworked and stressed and almost leaves. The fortuitious arrival of Duncan (an ex manager who just dropped out of his 'normal' life one day), lead to an easing of Mist's burden and forming a strong friendship with Mist. 25 Sky (17) joins the cult. Sky is totally obssessed/enamored with Ambrose. She immediatly becomes a devoted worker to the cause and within 3 months she is a sort of religious leader/organiser for the cult and Ambrose's lover. Sky educates Ambrose in the occult and the Goddess and he has a paradime shift. The Society now moves more into religious/cult type operation (thanks mostly to Sky's pushing and focussing its belief). Ambrose finds himself even more as almost worshipped leader. Sky and Mist have a short but fanatic fling. Ambrose, Mist and Duncan form a sort of V. Sky, Ambrose and Mist a triad of sorts. 26 Son Bear born to Sky. Sky and Ambrose, Ambrose and Mist, Mist and Duncan slowly morphs into one family. Under Sky's infectious energy all fall in love. Duncan still considers Sky a bit weird and Sky thinks Duncan is too square to feel the power in the Society, but both recognise that it is mostly because of their vastly different upbringings. All thinks considered, its more like one big tribe. The Society is moving more from a communal living arrangement to a cult formed aroung Ambrose's charisma and magnetism. More mundane members leave and are replaces by 'believers'. Because of Ambrose's magnetism, ratio of men/women slides from about 60/40 to 40/60. Ambrose starts to parade around in galbro and crinos forms. First ceremonies and rituals are organised by Sky. 27 Sky gives birth to daughter Luna. Daughter Sylvian born to Monika (cult member) 28 Mist gives birth to son Laurent (father duncan). Son Gill to Jannene (cult member). Sky delivers son Ra. Member ratio now about 2/3 female. Cult attracts couple with house in caulfield. 29 Sky is 21. Bear-m 3, Luna-f 2, Ra-m 1 Ambrose is 29. Bear-m 3, Luna-f 2, Ra-m 1 Sylvian-f 2, Gill-m 1 Elsbeth-f 10, Gaian-m 8 Mist is 29. Elsbeth-f 10, Gaian-m 8 Laurent-m (Mist) 1 Duncan is 38. Laurent-m (Mist) 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now: The Whole Society They live in a large farm (really a wooded property) at +++++. They also have a large two story 4 bedroom house in Hartwell near the walking track. An old 3 bedroom house in caulfield Ambrose leads a normal life, providing the spiritual center of the Society. He is treated as head prophet and spiritual leader of the group and his charisma and magnetism attracts and holds the focus of them members. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ambrose: cult leader. Spiritual leader and magnet that holds cult toghether stats above Personality: "I dont know where it came from but I am different. I guess that I am also lucky that I have people who accept and welcome my gift rather than burning me at the stake or something. When Sky explained things to me I knew that it was right, but I know that it isnt the whole story. There are voices in my head that whisper too quietly for me to hear but I know they whisper of other things to come. You have to teach them. You dont know exactly what yet, but teaching the Society about Gaia is a start." You were always the popular one, now you understand why. The Goddess/Earth has made you to explain her message and to help her. You arnt sure exactly how yet but you know that there is some purpose for you. Bringing these lost souls together and showing them Gaia feels almost right.... but not exactly. You are questing and unsure... Attitudes: Mist: Mist is my strength. She holds this place together. Im so happy to see love blossom in her and increase so. She loved me from childhood but now she loves many people and I feel that somehow Duncan gives her what I will never be able to and that makes me joyous. Sky: Sky sees too much in me. She has taught me so much and taken my life apart and reconstructed it with the Goddess at its heart. I feel strange but I cant shake the feeling I am about to start teaching my teacher. Duncan: I wasnt sure about Duncan, but it was Sky that showed me the way. I knew Mist was worried about Sky and I saw Sky open her heart to her, so I tried the same with Duncan. Accepting him into my family and as a lover was initally strange, but when I listened to my primal instincts, I knew it was right. The Whole: I dont know why I am so blessed with this Gift, but I know now I must share it. I have to show people and give them the power of the Earth. Mist: organiser runs Society (most of work) 2/4/2,2/3/4,2/4/2 alter:2,aths:2,emp:2,exp:1,subt:2 animal:2,drive:2,fire:1,repair:3 invest:3,ling:2,occult:2,pol:2,sci:1 History: Mist and Ambrose grew up as step brother/sister. They fell inlove and ran away. Mist was the more organised of the two and was mostly responsible for much of the manovering behind Ambrose's rise in the Society. Currently she is the main organisational person behind the cult, although lately she has help from Duncan and to a lesser extend Sky. The initial heady love of her relationship with Ambrose has changed into lasting solid family type feeling (with moments of the old passion :). When Sky initially arrived, she was uncomfortable with the adoreation that she showed to Ambrose, but eventually she saw that the same was offered to her aswell. After a brief passionate fling, the two became friends and Mist's feelings opened up for Duncan (with whom she is still headily in love). Personality: "The work is hard, harder than you would think with so many coliving, but everytime I see Ambrose slide to the wolf, or Sky talking of her faith, I remember why. And those times when I see someone cry with joy at Ambrose in his largest form, I know that we are helping. It fills me with joy to know that my children know this type of life because we have built it." Mist found that where Ambrose blended into any social group, she had the ability to look at a pile to work and get it done. She gets focused and single minded when working and applies the same dedication to relaxing. She can gets a little down with all the work she has (and the fact she is surrounded by others who just bask in Ambrose's aura) but Sky's devotion to the cause and to the family renews her. Attitudes: Ambrose: Ever since we first fell in love, the power and attraction I feel has pulled us close. Although these days I have a lot more work to do. ;) Much has changed since we ran away, *grins wickedly* but he still has 'That Effect' on me. Sometimes I just marvel at his changing form and wonder what it really means that Gaia blessed us so. Duncan: Duncans help, physically he gives me the energy to keep focused on the effort of keeping this place organised. He is quiet, but he knows just what I need help with. Duncan is solid and reliable and I think I have come to need a little more of that dependability as I have grown up. Sky: Sometimes I get tired with the work, but just talking to Sky refocuses me. She is so energised and, well, almost fanatical in her beliefs. Having her in our family has focused and redifined my definition of love, and her openess is one I aspire to. I guess a few years ago I would have thought she was a nut, but a husband of mine can become a beautiful wolf and to her it is natural. The Whole: I would never have dreamed that it would turn into something like this. I feel a joy watching something I have created grow so. Duncan: ex manager. 2iC of Society (works under Mist) 2/2/3,2/3/2,2/3/2 alert:1,brawl:1,street:1,sub:2 drive:3,etiq:3,repair:2 comp:2,law:2,med:1,sci:2,polit:1 History: Born on a farm, he came down to the city to study right after school. Did economics at uni and blitzed it. Got a job at Megacorp and powered up the ladder, but something was missing. At about N years ago had a partial nervious breakdown. Lucky for him, he rediscovered his love of wide spaces and life. He drifted for a bit before winding up in the Society. He was immediatly awed by Ambrose's ability to change. It provided that element that he had been searching for in black and white. Here was the Earth showing her power and he knew for sure that it was Gaia. Unable to totally get into the spiritual cult that it was changing into he started focussing on helping where he could. He met Mist and fell in love with her. Soon, she was close to him and soon after Sky arrived returned his love. Personality: "I was lost to where we call came from, but here I *KNOW* that I am part of a whole. Part of The Earth. I never expected to have the proof but the proof shares a home with me and I can never refute that." Duncan *badly* wants to believe, but he cant seem to shake the little voice in his head that whispers 'thats just superstition'. He wants very much to have the sort of openness and devotion of Sky or Mist's clearheaded acceptance of what is. Attitudes: Ambrose: The natural leader and a focus of everything I was lacking before I came here. I was hesatant, and didnt feel I belonged, but he welcomed me into his family and his home and showed me the Earth and I found the love of more people than I ever imagined. I didnt think I would ever say it *shifts uncomfortably* but I love this man/wolf. Thanks to Gaia for giving me the proof I so needed. Mist: She was married, err I guess, to Ambrose, but she accepted me into her life too and that is more than I ever expected. This whole place is a little strange, but she still has this element of the grounded country lass in her. Sky: She has energy, I will say that for her. She is a bit simple, I mean for a bit there things looked rocky, but she just said 'lets all get live together then' as if it would just work. *pause* Well I guess it sort of has, but erm, um. Yeah. *goes quiet* The Whole: I got to a point in my life when I felt disconnected and alone. The Whole reconnected me with life and for that I owe it a debt I can never repay. Now that I feel, well, reconnected, I guess I can see it looks a little strange, but I wont ever forget the discovery of Gaia and I have a changing man to show me it is true. Sky: strongest believer. Injects most of spiritual element. 2/2/3,2/4/4,4/2/2 alert:3,empath:3,exp:4,intim:3,primal:2,subt:3 drive:2,perf:3 enig:3,occult:3,rituals:3 History: Born to middle class parents, Sky was always a little trouble maker. At school she defined 'Alternative' (although never origionated it). She dropped out of school at 16 and started drifting in dropout cultures. She discovered wicca, hippies and other assorted things and dabbled in almost everything. Her belief in something she couldnt define built until one night she ranaway and had what can only be called an Epiphiny (if spelt correctly). Her later discovery of the Society was accidental, but upon her first sight of Ambrose, she knew he was what she was seeking but could never find. She brought focus to the Society with her range of occult studies, she defined the elements that drew people there and crystalised the religious aspects of the Whole. Her absoulute devotion to Ambrose has been a catalyst for many other members of the cult. Personality: "Meaning. Thats what its all about. I always felt it was there but I could never define or see it. Until I met the prophet of the Goddess Earth. The others think Gaia, planetary conciousness, but I know. I have read about and worshipped the Goddess in many forms and now she sends Ambrose to me. I will bear his children, love him and his loves and protect him forever. This is what I was born for." You are a total religious fanatic. Ambrose is next to the Goddess and noone can argue with that what you have seen and felt and what you *know*. Your life is now totally focused on Ambrose and the beliefs that you helped him discover and define. Sometimes at night you run naked through the trees and you almost know what it must be like to slip into whe wolf and run free. You would give anything to join your Alpha as a wolf. Attitudes: Ambrose: Alpha. Leader. When I found him he was so obviously proof of all that I had known, and yet he didnt realise himself. I told him of the Goddess and of Legend and slowly the magnitude of it dawned on him. He can be thick. I remember the night he found his faith, I held him as he shook and cried and together we rebuilt his world. Now he has caught up with me and even exceded my knowledge as that which I set free blooms and I hunger to feed from what will grow there. Mist: Hope. She still has yet to fully accept it, but she is open to things. Initially there was jelousy, but I offered her love and she took the gift. She sees the Goddess and I speak to her about it but I think she has yet to fully realise what it means and to let her old beliefs slip. When she does and her whole world is reformed, as mine was long ago, I shall be here to hold her as she screams as her life is restructued by the Goddess, as I was for Ambrose when he finally realised. Duncan: I see how far he has come in freeing himself, but I cant help but feel that some part of him is held back, unable to fully grasp the sheer power of what surrounds him. He believes but somehow he still holds onto the old frame of reference. He doesnt let the consequences occur to him for fear they will shatter his foundations. The Whole: Mostly sheep. The come and experiance. They see the proof, but they just gape in awe. How can they see it and not serve it as I do? The Goddess stands before them and they just stare rather than worshipping and fighting for her!
