Shifter/Theme
Some Garou are all about the pack, sept and tribe. Some Garou work within the traditional confines and thousands of years of history. Those are not the Garou here in the Twin Cities.
There is no Sept, the nearest one was destroyed decades ago.
There are virtually no packs.
Want to be friends with a Vampire? There are no elders to stop you.
Want to shack up with your Cousins belonging to the other shifting races? The spirits will judge you.
Its not that the Garou have given up, but as a whole the Nation has decided the fight here isn't worth it. This leads to freedom for forward thinking Garou. You can live as you choose, alone or in small clusters. You can fight the good fight how you think is best. But you are on your own, even the spirits look at those in this land as questionable at best.
The Changing Breeds have found this place to be a safe haven. The Garou that are present are outnumbered. Like the Garou, they have found no sacred places, but they have found respite.
This is a modern city. With creatures of all sorts that can be friends, enemies and sometimes both.
It is a lonesome city. But it is a city where you decide whats best for you. Rokea and Lupus buddying up? It can happen. You only have the judgement of your peers and the spirits.
A Nagah and a Nuwisha finding themselves as lovers turned mortal enemy? Without elders, is there anyone to put a stop to it?
There aren't any elders to nag you to follow this way or that.
There aren't elders around to learn from.
The spirits here are angry and disillusioned.
Which means the Shifters can live as they want.... For now.
