Post apocalyptic game line names
I really like the idea of a post apocalyptic world of darkness! I'm planning on making a few posts about some ideas i have for what the different Post-apocalyptic game lines and how they might look or play out.
But what would they be named? I've got a few ideas, but I would love to hear some of your own!
On my part I've got:
Changeling: the Winter or Changeling: the Sorrow
Werewolf: the Redemption
Mage: the Disillusion
And Bygone: the Resurgence just because i thought i'd throw the Bygones in there to, why not?
The Numina system makes no sense to me
Like I understand one thing powers only humans can have, but I find it at least a little silly.
Seriously just do it
This goes for others like my precious severan dominate to.
Can ANY spirit possess someone?
So we know spirits of the Wyld, Weaver and Wyrm can possess people and Gaia also has spirits that can do the same. I think we can assume that all Celestines also have spirits that can possess people like Helios and Luna.
But that begs the question, can any spirit possess someone? Like, can a duck spirit possess a guy? Can the spirits of concepts, possess people, like a spirit of mathematics or something? Do you need to be a certain level of power to possess someone?
And on a related note, can Paradox spirits possess people? I know they can do things like create zombies and other stuff, but can they possess a living person?
What exactly are the limits of spirit possession?
What Pentex deals with from their subsidiaries on a daily basis
Pentex's pipe dream
Pentex is big, but hegemonic they are not.
Subsidiaries don't count, they create and buy those. I only added Endron so i could use lambda mankind
What are Pentex's relations with other wyrm worshipers?
I don't just mean the Black Spiral Dancers, i mean other groups and cults.
What do they think of the 7th Generation, WebWorks, F.E.A.R, Or all the other wyrm corrupted fera like Balesharks or the Kumo and the Antara?
Hell, what do they actually think of all the Mockery breeds that escaped but still kinda do what they were made for?
I'd really like to how all the wyrm tainted think of each other.
MORE LORE!
I wanted to flesh out some of the ideas, both I and others in the comments had in of my series about arachnid fera.
So here it is!
Ananasi relations with "other arachnids": Bonus One: Seaspiders
Seaspiders chilling(hehe) in the Antarctic because sharks can't survive there.
I mean greeland sharks probably can but they're on the other side of the world so who cares.
How powerful are Celestines compared to the Triad?
So it's obvious that the Triad is more powerful, my question is how powerful.
I assume it varies by celestines, like Helios being a star is probably more powerful then luna, but im not sure if anything says that definitively.
Anyway, my question is really how wide is the gap between a celestine and the Triad?
Ananasi relations with other arachnids: Whip Spiders
Whip spiders are good at climbing, fast when they want to be, and ambush predators, making them great at steal. Thus their fera watch the rest of creation from the shadows, giving them a unique perspective on both their cousins plans and the actions of other fera. Which is to say, they think their fellow fera could go about things with a little more forethought.
I like the idea of a fera that sees the bigger picture. Which of course, begs the obvious question of why don't they do something about it? Much like there animal counterpart, they are quite docile. I think their core flaw is that they nihilistically (and somewhat accurately) believe that even if they did point out what was wrong everyone would be too and arrogant and stubborn to listen to them. Which opens up the floor for new generations to break that cycle! Werewolf is a game about breaking cycles and building a better future after all!
But that's just what I could come up with. I would love to hear what you guys would do with them
Ananasi relations with other arachnids: Solifugae aka Sunspiders
So my idea for weresunspiders is that they are devout worshipers of Helios. Praise the sun and all that. Now for those who know about Sunspider this might confuse you, for those who don't, I'll explain. Sunspiders actually really don't like being in the sun. Solifugae literally means "those who run from the sun". So why are their fera worshipers of the sun?
Well, according to the legends of what I am now dubbing Solisequei, their creator displeased Helios. What the action was is lost to time, but what is know is that is was dishonorable and worthy of the Sun's denouncement. Thus all of the Dishonorable ones creation were filled with the innate knowledge of the Helios disapproval. Now the Solisequei work to aton for the sins of their creator and know the light of Helios with out fear.
At least that's one version of the myth.
Ananasi relations with other arachnids: Ricinulei
Ricinulei are an interesting animal, they are microscopic, Live in caves, And have no eyes. They are also really hard to find because of their size and habitat.
Ananasi relations with other arachnids: Pseudoscorpions
I'll be honest.I couldn't think of anything for the Pseudoscorpion, so I just made this. Poor Garra.
That's their cultural name by the way, Garra. It just means claw in portuguese, but I think it fits them. Claws are the main thing you know?
Fun fact, Brazil has some of the most Pseudoscorpion species in the world!
Ananasi relations with other arachnids: Whip Scorpions
I don't have any name ideas for this one i just thought it was funny.
Feel free to leave some in the comments.
Going to the doctor under different Mage paradigm
Ananasi relations with other arachnids: Mites and Tick
Ok i have figured i'd just use modified versions of their scientific names.
So turns out mites aren't really a singlular species, just a bunch that share a lot of common traits. But there is a name for this large group, and it's Acari, so im gonna go with that.
As for ticks, Ixodia(singular: ixodi) from their order name: Ixodida
Hope you like 'em
Ananasi relations with other arachnids: Harvestman
I have no idea what the harvestmens cultural name could be. With the scorpions(Aqrabu) i used mesopotamian myth. But i got nothing for the daddy long legs. If you have any ideas, let me know.
Also once again, i am making all this up as a little hypothetical. Don't take any of this seriously, unless you want to use it as inspiration for a homebrew or something.
