(OOC) New Bedford by Night II

[Bennosuke]

This Post is Reserved for a List of the NPCs

# Michael Knowlton (Elodath/Hunter in Darkness): The Alpha of the Arrow Heads pack, and leader of the Brockton Protecterate. He has long shaggy dirty blond hair and a scruffy beard. He comes off as layed back and blue collar, but is a truly cunning leader and a fearsome warrior. Those who have fought along side him, almost always immediately swear their allegiance to the Uratha many simply know call Knowlton.

# Mary: One of the employee’s of The New Bedford Whaling Museum. She is very knowledgeable about the city’s history, and seems more than eager to help teach The Pack. However, there is something strangely artificial about the way she smiles and talks.

# Mr. John Farley: The owner of The Poor Hut. A middle aged man with a long grey pony tail, and a friendly demeanor. he prefers button down Hawaiian shirts and Teva sandles, and is drawing up a contract to keep The Anchor Wolves playing at his pub on a weekly basis.

# Officer Jones: The young ginger haired police officer that Kara met outside Saint Lukes Hospital. The two exchanged numbers and its clear that the man could be a useful asset in the upcoming months.

# Barney Marsh: The ex-fisherman cab driver.

# Dr. Levi: A resident physician working at Saint Luke’s Hospital. He seems to be very overworked.

# Chase: An ENT who became the host of a Nihilith. Solomon has skinned the man and is now wearing his skin like a suit.

# Zachary: Michael's friend who is a student at U Mass Dartmouth. Zachary's roommate turned out to be possessed by a Beshilu. He is now a late night DJ on the campus' digital radio station and one of Michael's best contacts in the local music scene. He has sandy bedraggled hair and suntanned skin. Of late he has been dressing very preppy.

#Brock Turner: Joanna's prey, a man from Boston, who had fled the city after committing a heinous if not deranged murder. Joanna has the impression that he was somehow influenced by a murder spirit, or perhaps is being ridden, as the murder was completely out of character based on interviews with those who knew him. Brock was allegedly staying with his cousin in New Bedford, Finney Marsh, who works as a bus driver for a local ferry company called "Sea Skipper Travels".

#Catalina: Catalina is Solomon's new love interest, whom he met at Miskatonic University in Arkham. She is short and lithe of frame, with jet black hair, pale skin, blue eyes and a round face. Catalina is smart and highly social, always going out of her way to make a good impression and make others feel heard and welcome. She enjoys creature comforts, though she does not come from money, and is the type who would rather buy a new thing than find a way to maintain or recycle an old object.

Spoiler: List of Important Spirits

Show

#King Sky Hunter: A great falcon spirit with golden brown feathers, and glowing yellow eyes. The spirit is a great hunter, with serrated beak of bone, and giant talons made of harpoons and fishing hooks. King Sky Hunter has a greed to help the Anchor Wolves, if it is granted hunting rights to The Winfield Building and Cannery and the associated Locus.

#Pequod: The personified spirit of of the New Bedford Whaling industry. Despite the industry’s decline in the last century, the local pride and identity as a Whaling City has kept Pequod alive. Pequod was trapped in the Winfield Building by the Harbor Wolves, tasked with keeping the space free of rising spirits. Pequod is resentful of its situation as an Uratha watch dog. The spirit appears as a giant whaling vessel that shifts between different eras of ship, with a figurehead of a wooden whaler complete with cap and harpoon.

#Izidakh: A mighty Iurhir that runs with a pack of lower dog spirits. Izidakh appears rather lupine, and has a square head, large pointed ears and a long muzzle filled with multiple rows of fangs. It's dark grey pelt had a streak of auburn that passed along it's spine like a column of fire. It's eyes glow a piercing emerald green. Izidakh and its pack once followed Michael, trying to guide the man when he was still just a Wolf Blooded.

#Devouring Inferno: (Currently dormant) The lead spirit of a chorus of flame spirits in The Hisil. Devouring Inferno appears as a massive humanoid wreathed in flame. He has large insectile compound eyes that grow like burning gems, and has agreed to help the Uratha drive out the Beshilu from the Hisil's massive forest as long as all water spirits are kept out of the way. He is proud and temperamental and fickle.

#Carrion: A mysterious giant Death Spirit that appears as a hunched, ravenous vulture with glowing red eyes and a worm like neck. Kara ran into this spirit briefly in the Hisil.

#The Reveler in the Vineyard: A spirit that controls the vineyard on the outskirt of New Bedford. The thing is many limbed, each appendage made of coiling leaf covered vines that undulate undulate for propulsion like a squid pushing through water. It's bulbous head/body is soft and bone white, lined with purples and green pods that hang like facsimiles of bushels of grapes. It's body is nearly all mouth, a twisted grinning toothless orifice. It has made a deal with Blaze to assist them in removing the Beshilu, if they will continue to play it their music.

#Walks with Truth: A knowledge spirit that appeared to Blaze. It takes the form of a small boy-figure cobbled together with bones (likely whale), fishing wire, and draped in rags that may have come from a sail. The skin of its face is like parchment, and covered in black ink text with strange letters. It traded knowledge Captain Drips for knowledge about the Idigam with Blaze.

#Data Bolt: The computer spirit that Blaze has befriended and transferred to his Laptop. In the Hisil, the spirit appears as a small almost cartoonishly proportioned boy, built from wires and circuits and green silicon microchips. It's eyes are two green computer screens, and it's mechanical mouth filled with square keyboard keys for teeth.

#Atant: The cellphone spirit attached to Kara's phone. It speaks with Kara's voice and seems to represent the most superficial, social media addicted side of the Cahalith.

#He Who Obliterates Breathing: The King Plague Spirit brought to power by the Beshilu of New Bedford. He Who Obliterates Breathing is indescribably powerful. It's presence can be recognized by the terrible shrieks that precede its arrival, like the death throws of a thousand mortal children, or perhaps that of the loudest lamb trying to scream at the top of its lungs while drowning. Once fully materialized, the spirit appears as a behemouth collection of eviscerated organs wrapped around a hodge-podge of bones, forming a large quadriped monstrosity dripping blood and mucous. It's head is covered with a large black shawl and masked in a giant Plague Doctor's mask. Blaze has recognized it's Bane to be "true herbal medicines".

#?The Spirit of The Field: Though it's true name has yet to be discovered. The spirit of the field was the guardian of the tannis root planted by the Harbor Wolves. It appears as a giant slimy black worm, covered in wriggling vines. Blaze has promised to replant the tannis root field for it.

#Ponlo: Ponlo is a lesser water spirit in the service of the Great Sea King. It has a wiry body of sticks and driftwood, a ceramic mask for a face covered by a mop of floppy wet seaweed. Despite Ponlo's status as a lesser spirit,

#The Great Sea King: The Great Sea King is the literal spirit embodiment of the New Bedford Bay, responsible for maintaining the health and balance of the waters in The Hisil. The pack have made a fledgeling alliance with The Sea King to fight against The Idigam and the changes its presence is bringing. It appears as a great serpentine creature covered in dull green scales that ripple with electric jolts of Essence. It's maw is filled with rows of giant shark teeth, and while it has blind empty sockets, a series of tentacle like proboscis fingers extend from its flaring nostrils.

#Chris Wentworth - an orphan from Boston, his relatives were all wiped out in some kind of supernatural attack. Nobody knows if it was vampires or something else, but fourteen year old Chris is the only survivor. Rather than enter into the Foster care system, he relocated to live with distant cousins up in Portland. Description: Short and frail with shaggy brown hair and pale sallow skin. There is something about Chris that either repels people, or convinces them to give up their deepest darkest secrets. His piercing brown eyes seem to stab deep into a person’s soul and lay bare their deepest darkest secrets. Chris is a cunning individual, having survived this long through a mix of his quick wits, and disarming personality.

#Ciara was born to a long established line of werewolves. Realizing that she would not be joining her kin as a true Uratha was a harsh blow for her, but she kept her head high, and pushed to find her place in a pack regardless. She found it with Bear. Strong in both mind and body, the fiery red headed woman fell in love with the passionate Rahu, and he with her. The pair have been trying for a child recently, though so far without success.When asked about cementing their relationship with a formal marriage, they just shrug and say they'll get around to it eventually. Description: Short, voluptious and undeniably a red-head. Ciara has a fiery, wild personality that can be intoxicating. She prefers form fitting urban clothing that highlights her curves but help her still fit in with the pack of Rockers. Along with her burning hair and emerald eyes, Ciara is often noted to have a particularly lupine scent to her, not necessarily of wet dog per se, but an odor that even mortals can pick up on.

#Pine - A somewhat masculine woman of indeterminable age, she is the stout and reliable technician/mechanic/chauffeur of the pack and band. She owns a large Winnebago style RV that can store not only the band and their instruments but she has been slowly rigging it to be a sound-system that the crew could in theory play shows out from. Named for the green pixie cut she always sports, much of all that's known about her is that she was the best friend of a dead werewolf. She's proven time and time again she can keep a secret and owes some huge debt to the pack's forebears. Her late friend was a Blood Talon (auspice unknown) and though she seems to keep a little distant from the pack, just treating this as a gig, she has shown some affection for Juno in as much as teaching her how to drive. She moonlights as an Uber driver from 11 to 5 on weekdays in order to stay in money and means.

#James King was born and raised with two brothers in Detroit by a single mother who worked three jobs to make ends meet. When he was eighteen, he knew he wanted to makes something of his life so he enlisted in the Army and was trained as a medic. After his term of service was complete, he spent a few years working as a paramedic in Portland - as his mother had since passed away.
This is where he met the Band, and after a while he transferred to the new city to work on the hospital there - and to assist the Pack if they need some extra medical attention.

#Mitchell Sanders; band manager. Mitchell had his start in the music business selling Band t-shirts in the 90's, slowly filling out his metaphorical address book with names of promoters, DJ's, aspiring musicians and even a fair bit of "chancers". He performed some minor hits as a drummer in an indie band and still fondly remembers his chance to play live, even when he also feels the bad treatment of their act and the constant pressure was the catalyst for the band break-up, despite what some of his former band-mates would argue. He quickly took to producing, promoting local night sessions and eventually management, setting up his live agency with the intention of giving fair deal and chance to fellow indie bands. Mitchell is not particularly greedy and quite competent, but certainly has made himself a name as a hard-ass that makes many prospective bands jump through hoops to earn his honesty and support. Cry Wolf is seen in the agency as a pet project of his, which have drawn some jealous look and bitter comments from other bands that have been fully put into the ringer. Lately, he's been delegating a bit of the work due to the upcoming birth of his second child, but is eager to get his hands back in business, specially the new angles that the technological advancement of social media have brought into, though he sometimes struggles at understanding it fully.
