Characters

The Crosswinds game is a cooperative storytelling game. While we wouldn't get anywhere without our Storytellers to run things, the game is about characters, people, and their lives. Have a look at the stories of those who inhabit the world of Crosswinds.

** Kinfolk **

Part of the Garou's world, yet not part of it at the same time, Kinfolk are those family of the Garou who never shifted themselves. Immune to the mind-bending fear inspired by their shifting cousin's presences, Kinfolk perform many tasks integral to the Garou they cannot themselves. Yet they are often all too fragile, easy targets for enemies who wish to target the hearts of the brave warriors of Gaia. These are their stories.

** Fera **

The Garou ae not the only changing children of Gaia, and each have their own responsibility and duty to Her. In times past the Garou's rage nearly destroyed some and completely wiped out others, much to the sorrow and rage of all. Since, things have been strained between Garou and their more distant cousins, yet now after their own sacred place has been destroyed they come to the Garou for aid. Here might be a chance to begin anew, and it falls to each of the diverse Fera to choose for themselves. These are their stories.
