Prelude Never really liked people. They're all just....bland. Everyone's pretty much the same, and the same gets boring really fast. You were surrounded by these people for years, and it wasn't until you finally graduated from high school that you found a group of....people.....that were all special somehow. Once you had completed your last class, you immediately signed up for a wilderness survival course; it was somehting new so you decided to try it. Initially, all the people were bland, like normal, but once you got into the wood, they changed. It was weird, they all just kinda shucked off their normal demeanors and immersed themselves in the woods. They absoulutely came alive, and you finally saw what you wanted most in people. You saw them without the trapping of society weighing down their actions. You went on a couple other trips like this during the summer, to you parents chagrin (you were supposed to be saving money for university). Each time you saw most of the people change when they entered the woods, and then revert to their initial personas when they left. It was bizzare. When you asked one of the guides why this was so, she merely looked at you with confusion, as though she couldn't understand what you were referring to. University came and went, and instead of learning you got a job as a wilderness guide. You learned about the woods, and studied people as you led them around the trails that had become so familiar. After a time, you began to grow tired of the large numbers of people, so you began to instead only take small groups, four people at most, into the woods. After two years of this you went on your last journey of this nature. He was a nice looking man, if a bit rugged, who had a special need: due to his sensitive skin, he could only hike at night. While a bit odd, you knew the trails well enough that this would pose no real problem for you. The two of you hiked around the trails for a few days, until, one night, a wild beast attacked the two of you while crossing a brook. It came out of nowhere, and looked like a prehistoric wolf that you'd seen on a nature show. It quickly knocked you over, and then dashed straight towards Thomas. He responded quickly by diving out of the way, but caught his foot on the underbrush. To save his life, you threw yourself between the beast and man. The wolf glared at you, and then trotted into the forest, disappearing quickly. Thomas was so impressed that he embraced you on the spot, without asking any questions. When you awoke, there was only a note informing you of your current plight, and warned you of the sun. It took you months to learn all of your abilities, and when you had he appeared to you again, asking you to guard this old forest from loggers and other dangers to nature. His reason was simple; an ancient gangrel elder was believed to be beneath the earth, and it would be in everyone's best interests to keep it there. You have continued to guard against intruders as best you could ever since. Concept You love the forest, and hate the fact that you are forced into the city so much as of late. The others in the city have yet to listen to you, and you will laugh in their cold, uncaring faces when it wakes from its centuries long slumber. Still, you promised to protect the woods, and have done everything in your power to do so, though the Ventrue have not made things easy for you.
