is a pissed off hick who works at everyone's favorite, Wally-world. She dips Red Man Chewing Tobacco and drinks Jack. She is 30-ish, smart enough to know that her life sucks but too dumb (or hard headed) to do much about it. Jose is her regular guy she turns to when she is bored and they hook up at the bar one night. Later, when she is relaxed, she breathes deeply and picks up the scent of one of her girl friends. Jose has been with her. Janie looses it. When she comes too, she is in a field and Jose's body is laying near by. The local pack has surrounded her, some viewing her with compassion, others contempt. They take her in and clean up the mess. Several days later, Janie notices a news report that mentions Jose and her friend have gone missing. What did she do?

More Kentucky Werewolves
I have spent several more nights creating characters with my new Werewolf: The Forsaken group and I thought I would post them here.
Tom is a know-it-all librarian who dabbles in the occult. He is from Kentucky (which will benefit him later) and has always longed to see what was really going on. This is fairly difficult growing up in the middle of the Bible-belt. One night, while riding home on his man-scooter, he sees a large oak tree growing in the middle of a road he has traveled down daily. As he watches, the tree is burning but not consumed and it is attacked by chainsaws with arms and legs (think Alice in Wonderland). Several nights later, he dreams of the tree again and this time he can here it screaming for help. Tom attempts to pull the chainsaw spirits of pain off of the tree with his...paws? They attack him in return and when he awakes, his sheets are covered in his own blood. He is later adopted by a pack who has been searching for a new rite-master.
Janie Michaels is a pissed off hick who works at everyone's favorite, Wally-world. She dips Red Man Chewing Tobacco and drinks Jack. She is 30-ish, smart enough to know that her life sucks but too dumb (or hard headed) to do much about it. Jose is her regular guy she turns to when she is bored and they hook up at the bar one night. Later, when she is relaxed, she breathes deeply and picks up the scent of one of her girl friends. Jose has been with her. Janie looses it. When she comes too, she is in a field and Jose's body is laying near by. The local pack has surrounded her, some viewing her with compassion, others contempt.

Kentucky Werewolves
A while back, I let the blog world know I was on a werewolf kick. I started reading the World of Darkness and Werewolf the Forsaken books published by White Wolf. I really like the fluff and I an getting used to the system. The rules are much more focused on the story, rather than power combinations and it should be a nice change of pace. I have converted my DnD group and we are currently creating characters and running them through their first Change experience.
A.J. Diggory (Diggs) was a High School Quarterback in a small Texas town. All the pressure was there to take the team to state finals again. His parents were pressuring him to choose a good school and his little sister looked up to him as a role-model. Diggs girlfriend was pressuring him to get his act together and not jeopardize their future.
During his first Change he experienced dreams loss and felt that his football team was against him. The local pack found him and, after a quick fight, offered him a break from the pressure. His mustang was later found wrapped around a tree and covered in his blood, though no body has been found. Diggs parents have accepted that their son is dead and only wish there was a body to bury. His younger sister holds out some secret hope her brother is alive, though it is based more in hero-worship than reality.
Picture to the right is from here.
Releste is a 30-something college philosophy professor wrestling with questions of her place in this world and the true order of things. She has studied Eastern Philosophy and continually seeks to put the pieces of belief together in a way that makes sense. She had dreams of running over her territory and encountering "Others" that pushed her out and defiled her land, unbalancing the natural order. She also dreamed that she as an aging Alpha faced with the decision to either belly up and beg for scraps the rest of her life or go out fighting and accept her death. When she was denied a tenured position due to her age, brashness, and maturity level, she goes off on her own. The local Boston pack finds her when they are all in the full wolf form. She Changes and runs with them, experiencing pack like she has never felt community before.

I want one!
Well, I have been busy with the new job and have really only had time to read blogs, rather than write my own. However, I had to add this. recently, Crusherjoe over at Ultramarine Blues posted a link to Toymallet 40c. Below is one of the pages from her fully functional parody. Take the 5 minutes to read the "rule book" and admit you want to play it!
Anyone else notice the claws and other fun kitty stuff?!! The models can be anything you want with these rules and the book is funny and well illustrated. Check it out =)

Update
Just a quick update: I got the Job at Best Buy and I have been in training for the past week. I am one of the people who stands at the front and helps people return/exchange etc. Just remember, be nice to person behind the desk; they may blog about you!
I have been painting my Warmachines and I am well on the way to meeting my September 30th deadline. I will post pictures later. I have recently learned (sort of) how to wet blend. Check out the great videos here and here.
Later!
