This thread is intended for out of character conversation.

  Hello there. The character names give some hints, but some of us are still settling on breed/tribe/auspice, to say nothing of smaller details. What has everyone nailed down so far?

  Ghost is a Lupus/Silver Fang/Galliard, but I can shift the auspice to Ahroun or Philodox if that would be a better match.

And I'll go ahead and mention that you guys will be operating in the scope of a larger pack; so, while it would be useful for you to be able to break off and form an independent unit by yourselves, it's not mandatory the way it would be if you were by yourselves. It really depends on what style you guys would like to run as a unit.
My planning won't be affected by whatever you choose, so have it the way you want! :)

Jimena's a homid Black Fury from East Austin, involved to some extent in anti-gentrification community activism and general radicalism. She's got friends who are campus radicals at UT, but college was never going to be in the cards for her.  Auspice is a little up in the air at the moment beyond "not-a-theurge." The basics of the character would work pretty well for a ragabash, philodox, or ahroun, but in any of those cases she's got the Furies' stereotypical skillset of brawliness and attitude. Chips on both shoulders and such.

FWIW, I live in Round Rock (just north of Austin up I-35) and taught in Austin ISD for a while. I should be good for info on general things about the metro, but I can't tell you where to get the best street tacos downtown, or which of the clubs on Sixth Street is the best place to hit up on a weeknight.

Are we using merits and flaws in this game?

  They're part of the standard rules, so I guess so?

  I'd don't like the flaws that amount to 'you get some points; the negatives hit everyone' though. ('You have an enemy' ones are an example - the enemy is now a problem for the whole pack, not just that one person.)

We meet again, Ghost-of-Silver! ^^

I will be your small and runty metis Bone Gnawer scavenger, be it Ragabash or Theurge. They call me Big Sister because I take care of the other Metis, and because Gnawers have a lovely sense of humor. Although I might earn the name Trash-Talker some day.

Ah...Big Sister. Played with you years ago, I think...long enough that I can't remember which character I was playing at the time. Vague suspicion that it was the game I bowed out of because players were getting vicious about the whole "alpha" thing. (I know that doesn't always narrow it down. ;) )
