For starters, Javert in this AU is werewolf kinfolk - Silent Strider kinfolk to be more precise. His mother was a kinain tarot card reader, his father a Silent Strider Galliard storyteller who belonged to the same carnival and had a one-night stand with her. He still keeps his late mum's deck as a keepsake; which he has always had to keep secret.
Born as per canon in jail and out of wedlock on a cold winter night (the second day of Xmas ie St. Étienne); his magistrate guardian instilled in Étienne Javert an unwavering sense of duty and morality. As a result he sees the world in black and white absolutes...
Kinfolk can only learn Level One Gifts, never Level Two or higher. Teaching/Cost
- Gift is of Kin’s breed or tribe, or is a gift specifically made for Kinfolk: 15 points
- Gift is outside Kin’s breed or tribe: +5 points
- Gift is taught by a Garou rather than a spirit: +5 points
Unless a Kinfolk has the Merit: Gnosis, she can only learn Gifts that do not require the expenditure of Gnosis. This imposes a severe limitation on the Gifts available to a Kinfolk. Gifts such as Blur of the Milky Eye, Falling Touch, or Lambent Flame do not require Gnosis to invoke. These, therefore, are the most common Gifts for Kinfolk to learn. Kinfolk who possess Gnosis have a much wider choice. In theory, they can learn any Level One Gift.Since Kinfolk do not possess Rage under any circumstances, these Gifts remain beyond their ken.
Numina fall into three categories: hedge magic, psychic phenomena, and True Faith. Having more than one type of Numina, however, is extremely rare. A talented psychic may possess Psychology and Animal Psi, both of which belong to the psychic phenomena category, but will rarely know any of the hedge magic paths. Numina cost a lot to learn, and operate under different and, often, mutually exclusive paradigms. Learning too many mystical powers from disparate sources puts a strain on the character’s mental health.
