Wednesday DE: Furries, but make them spooky

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Continuing on the World of Darkness theme from last week, let's switch from vampires to werewolves.

In Werewolf: The Apocalypse, there are five Auspices, roughly aligned with different sociocultural roles and dispositions. They are:

The Ragabash, tricksters, rogues, and questioners.
The Theurge, seers, shamans, and searchers.
The Philodox, mediators, counselors, and judges.
The Galliard, bards, teachers, and lovers.
And the Ahroun, warriors and protectors.

Which Auspice would your pup be a part of, and why?

Ahsoka might be Ahroun, or perhaps had been during the early years of the Clone Wars, but she grows into Theurge. This due to both her curious nature and events in her life.

Sabine...you know I think I'll have to go with Ahroun. She is a warrior, and even uses her art as a weapon to strike out at the Empire.

Jessica Drew is Ragabash. With her empathy, she could be Philodox and has acted in that capacity before, but she just loves pulling the metaphorical leg too much to not be Ragabash.

Dog would be Ragabash as well. She teaches and supports through a trickster's methods, imho.

Tess, I'm stuck between Philodox and Galliard. I think at her true nature, she's Galliard. She sings, she's a good teacher and she loves with her whole heart. The facade that she puts on is the Philodox.

Kylo is a Theurge, what with the Force and his seeking out Luke.

Creed is Ahroun. He's always where the fight is and he protects what's his with fervour.

Yamato is, no surprises here, Ahroun through and through. There's really nothing else he could be.

Eden is either Ragabash or Theurge, and I think the coin ultimately comes down on the Ragabash side.

Theurge.

(She'd fight less if she lived in the Star Peace universe. She does not.)

Emcee is Galliard, being an entertainer first and foremost. While he doesn't think of himself as a teacher, he occasionally has the patience and intelligence to impart knowledge. And of course he is a lover, not a fighter (at least not in the physical sense).

Cassidy is Ragabash. Funny that it mentions 'questioners' because Cassidy does ask a lot of questions sometimes, and not always tactfully. Also, he's more cunning than people give him credit for.

Pam would object vehemently to being classified as a werewolf, which is why none of these really fit her. She's far too apathetic and self-serving for any of these categories. At the very least, I guess she'd be Ahroun, since she'll fight to protect herself and Eric.

Lois could swing either Ragabash or Galliard tbh. Ragabash for all her digging for answers, and her occasional minor criminal activity to get it (she knows how to pick locks); Galliard because she's creative--writing--shows people answers, and is very, very much about her romantic relationship.

R2-D2 is absolutely Ragabash. Yeah, it's usually in service to something, but rebellious cursing hacking droid who gives everyone lip and makes authority's life harder, yeah, he's Ragabash.

Vaderkin is Ahroun. I don't think that needs explanation, honestly.

Desiderius is Philodox. Despite doing Legion service, he's very much an administrator and serious about his duty to that.

Tavi, just to be an asshole, definitely evolves between Auspices. Starts out Ragabash (inventive fits, always wanting to learn and asks far too many questions, spy); goes hardcore Ahroun when war hits (Legion captain and basically war lord fighting apocalypse); and now that he's First Lord he's definitely shifting into Philodox (building alliance, new laws, new social structures, etc). He's the kind of person who very much adapts to fit whichever container he needs to be in.

Sam - Ragabash
Molly - Ahroun
McGonagall - Could work for Philodox, Galliard, or Ahroun tbh. I'm going to say no to Galliard as my McGonagall is mostly ace, so... Ahroun.
Coulson - Theurge or Ahroun, but I think Ahroun.
Snow Leopard Woman - I'm not sure, actually. The obvious answer is Ahroun, but I feel like she'd maybe be Theurge?
Victoria - Ahroun, though I'd argue that she'd also work for Galliard or Philodox - she's the final arm of judgment, the punishment.
Raoul of Goldenlake - Ahroun.
War - Ahroun is the obvious, but she's certainly not protective. I'm going to say Theurge.
Poe - Ahroun, although he'd also work for Ragabash.
BB-8 - I'm going to say Philodox, although he'd probably fit Ragabash, too.

Gabriel is Ahroun. There are aspects of him that were Galliard once but joining SEP has pretty much cemented him as Ahroun.

Reaper is...difficult. He is still of Ahroun somewhat, but with his take on judging Overwatch members I suppose he fits a twisted Philodox as well.

Khadgar was a Ragabash when he was younger. As an archmage he's mostly Galliard these days, with aspects of Philodox due to being a Council member.
