Special Thanks

Alex (Storyteller) ❧ Alex, you're basically Loci's other mom and the Vice President of the Locinna fan club. Thank you SO, SO MUCH for inviting me to this game - it's made me, Cam, and Declan's lives so much brighter! Thank you for running this amazing game and putting in the obscene amounts of work and research you do to make it so fun and interesting! Thank you, also, for not just letting me play such an amazing character, but for helping me make her so amazing. Also, big thanks for your drunken history lectures and constantly shitposting with us. Sorry not sorry we adopted goatman as the party mascot and you've been forced to RP Generic Roman Man.
Super duper special thanks to Alex also for writing the setting part of this page!

Cameron (Aneksi) ❧ Cam, thank you for joining this game with me - honestly, it's been so much fucking fun playing with you! You're an amazing player, way too good at predicting what's gonna happen, and I'm so happy that we got to make Locinna and Aneksi sisters! ;u; (But.... I will never forget Stinky Fial, Cam. Never.)

Stir (Servius) ❧ I wasn't expecting to meet one of my most favorite people through a game. Stir, thank you for all the amazing n fun art you draw, thanks for the adorable Discord emoticons of the crew, thanks for how dedicated you are to playing interesting, compelling, and fun characters (you're amazing at it!), and thank you for being part of my life outside the game. I'm really happy we met - perhaps it was Fate? ;P Thank you, too, for all the character talk you do with me, and for sharing so much awesome behind-the-scenes Serv and Mokole McTwodicks stuff. :D (Also big thanks for tolerating my shipping heart... Serv x Loci is the Good Good ship...)

Pleti (Ria) ❧ Pleticus my darling.... thank you for being an amazing roleplayer (Ria is the BEST wildcard), thank you for that wonderful Servius and Loci picture you drew me n Stir, and thank you for being such an awesome fellow player. It genuinely makes my night when you and Alex "bicker" and talk, and also seeing all the wild shit Ria gets up to / into. (Also I greatly amused every time she botches rolls she shouldn't botch. It makes my night too. I'm so, so so sorry.)

Declan (Rigalos) ❧ Deaggy!! Thank you for joining this game when we had an opening; you're an awesome artist, a beautiful writer, and you've made a fantastic werewolf with Rigatoni! Thank you for always sharing gorgeous art and music for the game, thanks for drawing so many beautiful pictures, and thank you for not beating our asses for being such fast and chatty motherfuckers in-game. XD

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What's all this, then?
A. Hello! I'm nobody important and this is my Werewolf the Apocalypse character Locinna. She's a werewolf in 130sAD Roman Britain and is possibly werewolf Boudicca mixed with a bit of Cassandra? Who's also the Chosen One? We don't quite know yet but Loci is my darling baby girl. My sweet beautiful angel. I love her so much. This page documents as much of her story as possible, and her library contains edited archives of our in-game roleplay. I hope you enjoy. :)

Q. What's Werewolf the Apocalypse?
A. A tabletop roleplaying game like Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder but with less math (usually) that uses the Storyteller system. While the setting is has a lot of issues (with sprinkles of racism, sexism, and Edgy bullshit wrapped up in "woah, First Nations cultures and religions are cool, let's make a game inspired by them") that unfortunately draws edgy assholes like flies on honey (no offense to all the good WTA players out there), our game's setting is in antiquity and it's run by an actual classicist and all-around Good Person, so we avoid the worst bits and have lots of fun taking the setting and ideas behind the game seriously!
I don't know if I'd endorse or even recommend WTA as a setting to you, personally, dear reader. Most games you'd be able to join would be set in the modern day (though there are Wild West and Dark Ages settings, I haven't seen any games for them), and thus you might have to deal with the heavy-handed and edgy bullshit of the setting. Like I said, our storyteller is a good, reasonable person who throws out the nasty stuff - for instance, I personally had to ask her to throw out the metis wyrmthrall stuff because it's nasty. (TW rape: White Wolf basically made a ... rape mechanic. As a survivor, it's incredibly distressing for me.) I've talked with other STs who wouldn't throw out that mechanic for their games, and thus haven't joined any others. You'd need to find a group that will throw out the nasty crap and that won't play into the setting's worst qualities, and that's a lot of work.
Of course there is stuff in the setting that quite honestly makes it worthwhile for me to play, personally - it's a dark "epic" setting suited for tragic heroes saving the world (which let's be real for some people is super fun), and one of the core aspects of the game are disabled werewolves, which mean the world to me as a disabled person. (The setting doesn't treat metis quite right, but it's one of the only games where if you want to play a specific option you're required to play a disabled person, and again, as a disabled person that means a lot to me. We don't get a lot of disabled heroes. Part of the reason I made Loci is to have a disabled hero.) It also has tons of interesting ideas to work with and a massive amount of stuff you can play with, and if you're a baby bat like me White Wolf's existential gothic horror is appealing!
So: mixed bag. I love this game and its exploration of empire, war, and the possibility to change fate, but I lucked out big time in ways you might not be able to. If you're interested anyway, you may be able to find games on Roll20.net. I'd suggest picking up the W20 Corebook before you apply for any games and start reading, making notes of things you're uncomfortable with as you so you can ask potential STs whether they'll toss that shit out or not. You'd also do good to have a concept ready (if not a character) and be prepared for shopping around for a decent group, since online games tend to be hit or miss.

Gnosis ❧ Spiritual essence that Garou can control at will.
Metis ❧ Garou born garou, who are at best social outcasts and slaves, at worst destroyed at birth. Locinna is metis. Not named after the First Nations tribe, but the French word for hybrid, half-breed, or of mixed race. (Thanks, White Wolf, it still sucks!)
Homid ❧ Garou born human. Servius is homid.
Lupus ❧ Garou born wolves. Aneksi and Rigalos are lupus.

Wyrm ❧ Originally a primal force of balance between chaos and order, the Weaver wove the Wyrm into its web, driving it mad. It now longs for the destruction of all existence. Basically, an eldritch god of death and destruction and suffering and the primary antagonist of the Garou.
Weaver ❧ A primal force of order that weaves reality into solid form. It weaved the Wyrm into its web to keep the Wyrm from destroying its excess order. Most Garou are wary of the Weaver. It loves humans...

Inventory (On-person)

Bronze pocket mirror ❧ A bronze palm-sized mirror given to her by the Warders of Men, which she used for her first step sideways. On its back is a howling wolf.
Andraste's ancestral paint grinder ❧ Given to Loci specifically by Andraste, it is proof of her favor.
A crutch ❧ A solid, thick crutch that allows Locinna to walk around much more easily. She rarely uses it, however.

A sling ❧ Swiped off an Auxilia as part of Loci's ragabash training. She’s got about six rocks on hand to use with it.
Two hand-carved masks ❧ Extremely simple (and kind of ugly) wooden masks Locinna carved herself. They fit her homid and crinos forms.
A fetish backpack traded from Red Sands, payment (the pack's story) still waiting to be paid ❧ Within she keeps an axe, a carving knife, some pumice stone, bowstring, two spools of thread (50ft each, one light, one dark), a spool of twine (50ft), a sewing needle, a handful of small bells, two long ropes, charcoal wrapped in wax paper, candles, a handful of different-sounding whistles, animal glue, a bedroll, two thin blankets, two different hair brushes, a variety of hair decorations and ties, some jewelry, dice, a few hand-carved holy symbols, a pocket knife, a whetstone, a sharpened flint stone + a piece of pyrite, some small bells, a canteen, a fishing net, a wedding veil, and a few different sized bags to organize everything.

Most items on her person she either made, (cleverly) traded for with items she made or sold, or acquired through trickery. The rest were given to her.

Transportation

Currently borrowing a dun-colored mare named Gourio ("Curly" in Brythonic) from Broccomaglos. Occasionally Servius (or another packmate) will carry her around.

Home & Hearth

She currently has no home.
Previously lived in a cave on the grounds of the Aurochs Horn Sept then bunked with others at the Sept of Dawn's Grave.

Appearance

Homid ❧ A short, underweight girl with a mess of bright red wavy hair and strange green eyes. She has thick eyebrows and a gap-toothed smile. Her body has a mess of freckles all over, concentrated especially on her cheeks, shoulders, and back. Her left leg is visibly deformed: from hip to toe it's a purple-pink mess of scarred skin over thin, weak muscle, with jutting bones that have an unnatural curve to them.
Crinos ❧ Much larger than one would expect, she has more muscle but is still lithe. Locinna's crinos form is unnatural-looking even for a garou: her red fur has an unnatural orange tint, she has white "star" markings in the middle of her forehead and chest, and her fur and hair retain their messy waviness. Her lame leg has no fur on it.
Lupus ❧ A small, thin red wolf with long, wavy fur and white "star" markings on her forehead and chest. Her lame leg has no fur on it.

Fashion & Style

Her normal outfit is a tartan cloak held in place with a brass wolf pin over a Roman tunic with a ribbon bound round her torso and leather lace-up shoes. Her hair is normally kept in two braids tied with leather strips around brass hair ornaments. She wears Roman-style leather underwear. Occasionally she will wear woad.

Motifs

Fire, faerie fire, wolves, the moon, stars, foxgloves, heather, dog roses, sea thrift, cornflowers, deer skulls, wolf skulls.

In-Character Trivia

• Her First Change took place on Samhain (October 31st). She considers it her "rebirth" and thus Samhain her birthday.
• The Aurochs-Horn Sept tried starving her to death, but Loci survived long enough on gnosis alone that they eventually gave in and started feeding her.
• Her kin only let her live so long because they planned on sacrificing her.
• Once, in the vast, suffocating darkness of the cave, Locinna heard a voice in the darkness beckoning her to join it. She doesn't know whether that was real or a hallucination, and she honestly doesn't want to find out...
• As Locinna grew older she began braving the cave's entrance at night, and would carve her dreams into the rock walls by moonlight alone.
• While she lived at the Aurochs-Horn Sept, Locinna never cried even once, no matter what happened. Her kin found it unnerving.
• The first person she told her name to was Aneksi.
• Her favorite colors are pink, purple, and blue.

Out-of-Character Trivia

• Locinna's design is partially inspired by The Last Unicorn movie. (I have been accused of making this game my Last Unicorn fanfiction and - can confirm. :P)
• I came up with Locinna while I was reading the WTA Corebook. A lot of stuff about the garou rubbed me the wrong way, but then I realized... I could make a character who wants to change that. I'm honestly super grateful Alex let me take the concept of a garou who disagrees deeply with her own culture and well... run with it.
• Nothing about this RP went as expected! I originally planned to have Locinna be a more chaotic neutral character who tries to manipulate her pack into helping her change the Garou Nation, but she turned out to be too kind and honest to do that. I originally expected her to be the pack omega, but she ended up being acknowledged as leader before her pack even formed. I thought she wouldn't stand out at first, but consistently, she's influenced the game and the other characters greatly. :D
• She totally had a crush on Andraste the second the Howler touched her hand during their Rite of Passage. Loci's type: Beef.
• She immediately developed a crush on Servius when he got his hair cut. She doesn't quite know it yet, though. His actions while she was sick and he relieved her of leadership cemented how much she likes him.
• White Hart is based off of the Irish Elk and is thus kind of terrifying.
• Locinna has a north country Yorkshire accent!
