Planning a Howl

[holtfinder]

This is just the OOC heads-up to what'll be an IC gathering. See, Moonshade's determined that if these are going to be her people now, for the moment, then she needs to know them better, and there's no better way to do that than what her tribe calls a Howl.

What is a Howl, you ask? Great question.

A howl is a gathering of the whole tribe, to share their history, celebrate recent triumphs and mourn their lost. The Wolfriders don't have a written language; what they have is stories that date back thousands of years, tracing the history of their tribe since the arrival of elves on the planet of Abode.

But this howl isn't about the history of the Wolfriders--it's about the history of Temba and those who currently inhabit it. Moonshade's basically inviting everyone to tell stories of where they're from and who they are, whether these are great historical stories or more personal small ones. Of course, there's also literal howling at the moon at these events. That's important too.

Anyway, she intends this as an opportunity to learn about those who're here, to share some of her culture, and a chance to feel just a little less homesick.

Please assume an invitation goes out on the network, but she'll also spread work in person, riding through town to catch people and let them know to meet in the open area north of the memorial (Green 19) after sundown for the Howl.

The IC post for this event will go up either tomorrow night or Saturday morning, depending on brain.

Hi, it's James!

I'm new and bringing in Ronan Lynch from the YA novel series The Raven Cycle. Except that he's from the night before his father's death and thus very pre-series, so he's much less of a disaster, for the moment. But this does mean that he's only fifteen, so if anyone wants to decide he needs an eye kept on him, feel free to make the attempt.

He is going to be lacking his best-friend, and thus probably be prone to questionable decisions while he finds his footing. He's also never really been on his own before, so he'll be trying to deal with that one way or another.

I'm very interested in Ronan connecting with other people with powers, especially of the magic type, as well as just figuring out how to have more than his One Friend. He is canonly gay, but this is before he realizes that, so he'll probably work that out in game if anyone's down for Ronan having an awkward oh no he's hot moment at them at some point.

He's fond of Latin and Fast Cars, and used to take part in Irish Music Competitions. He's sort of a nerd, though he likes leather jackets and tries to be cool. Let's plot stuff?
