Sciuridae (Were-Squirrels)
forgotten. This means they suffer
A few centuries ago Gaia gave
birth to the Sciuridae and charged
them with gathering spirits that have
be bound into items and returning
them to the umbra. Because of this
duty the Sciuridae maintain their life in
the Preumbra where many talons and
fetishes go missing or are forgotten.
But since the turn of the century they
have notice there are more items
being lost and forgotten in the mortal
world. The elders have started sending
small groups out to find and return
those bound spirits.
Breeding: Sciuridae breed just
like the Garou but Homid born are very
rare since the most human contact
they have is with those people who
wonder into the preumbra by mistake
and those who transvers it. It is not
uncommon for Sciuridae to enter in
the physical world to breed. Most of
the Sciuridae kinfolk are squirrels, due
to the low population they welcome
Metis as equals not as honored or
shunned as other changers do. Like
the Kitsune a Sciuridae Metis do not
suffer from deformities.
Natural abilities: Sciuridae
are immune to disconnection from
staying in the Umbra for extended
timeframe. This life in the umbra allow
them to speak and understand any
spirit.
Natural flaws: Due to their
lean bodies and light weight they find
it hard to resist damage as the other
shifters +1 to all soak rolls in squirrel
form. Also a Sciuridae can be easily
distracted when things take too long.
All extended roles are at a +1
difficulty. Their command from Gaia is
the only thing they seem to be able to
focus on easily. Sciuridae follows
Helios instead of Luna since the sun
shines the light on those lost and
aggravated damage from gold instead
of silver.
Black Squirrels are a group of
squirrels who turned their tails on their
own people and Gaia. They seek to
follow the Wyrm. Black squirrels no
longer seek to free the lost and
forgotten but to taint them and find
them a home to taint. Black Squirrels
have tainted rabies which prevent
them from rolling to resist frenzy
checks. This taint can be passed on
even to other shifters and only a rite
of cleansing can remove it. Like their
name Black Squirrels are solid black
down to the bones and blood. In their
homid hey have black eyes. It is said
that the first of their kind tracked a
fetish into the labyrinth but found it
was just a trap and when it looked up
it look into the wyrm and at that point
it turned it soul black.
