Tribebook: Mockery Breeds

Introduction
Every conflict in one way or another is caused by the multinationals, the businessmen
buy from governments, manipulate the psyches of the international collective, poison
our food and play god by genetically modifying plants and animals; any company today
could buy entire nations if it wanted to. The influence of trademarks is such that many
of them are sources of worship, they are beyond a lifestyle, they are a philosophy. The
enormous tentacles of Pentex are present in all commercial areas and have absorbed
these psychic emanations from mortals, unwittingly and thanks to the collective
unconscious they have given life to a new being, an entity with unlimited power, a
reflection of the most perverse side of society. Every product, every trend that Pentex
produces is a solution to the needs of today's humanity, mortals have become empty,
they no longer believe in governments or gods humans only follow those who can satisfy
their increasingly strange pleasures and the Corporate Father is the only one who can
fill their spiritual gaps. With mobile phones and gluten-free burgers.

The Mockery Breeds

The last great achievement of Pentex and a new horde of monsters from the World of
Darkness, this new army is slowly spreading over the planet preparing for the arrival of
the apocalypse, its birth could be considered an omen for the Wyrm so the Garous must
hurry up and put an end to this new threat.
The Mockery Breeds could offer a higher risk for Gaia's followers as they do not suffer
from the mental disorders and deformities of the Black Spiral Dancers in the first place.
Second, some of the mockery breeds may create a larger number of members, such as
the Yeren. And third and not least, these monsters have been born in the cities, they
know better than anyone else how the world works, the Dancers are lagging behind and
only a small faction of them have adapted to the changes, the Dancers are waiting for a
final battle carried out by two armies that will define the destiny of the cosmos but the
Garous of the Wyrm are wrong, the final battle will not be the consequence of the clash
of two nations, the last great war will be fought in the stock market and the most astute
buyer will be the one who claims the throne of this world both physical and spiritual.

Merits and Flaws
At the Narrator's discretion the Parody Races can select most of the merits and defects
of Werewolf except some exceptions like Metis Cub (The Yeren can't have this Flaw),
Strictly Carnivorous or Mark of the Predator (The Kerasi can't have these flaws). The
Narrator must check which merits and flaws are according to the concept of each
Mockery Breed.

Merits
Anuran/Bandia Handsome (Merit 4pts or 6pts, Anurana and Kerasi only)
In your Anuran form you maintain a very human-like skin color as well as facial features
allowing you to pass as a human. However, in Anuran you will lack body hair, even if
you don't look monstrous a completely hairless subject will look very strange, also when
in contact with your skin it will feel strange, like touching the skin of a frog. Also in
Anuran you will have to hide the parts of your body where your amphibious features are
manifested. The aim of the merit (for both Anurana and Kerasi) is to look as human as
possible, a closer inspection could reveal the Anurana and Kerasi. This Merit for
Anurana costs 4pts.
The version of this merit for the Kerasis works very similarly. In Bandia form your skin
and facial features look very human, although the nose looks abnormally puffy, the best
part of this merit is that you don't cause Delirium to mortals. A Kerasi with this merit
looks like a guy who practices bodybuilding at extreme levels, for many people you will
look grotesque with so much muscle. This merit for the Kerasi costs 6pts

Wyld Adaptation (5pts Merit, Anurana and Samsa only)

You've already spent many years away from Pentex and the areas where the Wyrm lives.
You have adapted to the most inhospitable environments on the planet and for some
reason Gaia has tolerated your existence. With this merit you are able to recover gnosis
in natural areas free of the corruption of the Wyrm. An Anurana can inhabit natural
swamps or lakes without any problem. This merit can only be selected by Anurana and
Samsa who do not follow the Wyrm. Even so, any power that detects them will still be
perceived as being from the Wyrm, unless they are affiliated with some Totem of Gaia.

Kinfolk Parent (7pts Merit, Anurana, Samsa, Kerasi and Hellhounds only)
You are one of the lucky few who have managed to pass on their supernatural heritage
to their descendants. Thanks to this merit you have access to up to 2 points in the Kinfolk
Background. These relatives are exclusively human and like the other descendants of the
shapeshifters these relatives are immune to Delirium. These relatives have several
problems: Most of them are still minors, they are at most 16 or 17 years old, so their help
could be very limited and most importantly, Pentex is completely unaware of the nature
of these relatives. If Lycaon learns that you have relatives, both you and your progeny
would be forcibly taken in to be victims of painful experiments.

Rokea Pact (7pts. Merit, Anurana only)

You and your pack have completely moved away from the influences of the Wyrm and
the Rokea are the only followers of Gaia who have recognized this quality. Your pack
has made a pact with the Rokea in which you and your companions can learn gifts from
the Rokea's list as long as you give loyalty to the Shark Men. This alliance works much
like the enhanced Anurana with the Balefire Sharks. However, this alliance is very weak,
the Rokea still treat you and yours in a very hostile way, they demand very difficult
conditions to fulfill in order to impart their magical knowledge, they usually send the
Anurana to suicide missions or tests of mystical knowledge very difficult to pass. In spite
of all this, your pack feels lucky, these mistreatments do not come even close to Pentex's
deals. The cost of these gifts are Gift Level X 5.

Fertile (4pts Merit, Anurana only)

You were born with the blessing of being able to reproduce with any human without the
need for that human to suffer the corruption of the Wyrm. This merit is not to say that
you do not have the same difficulties in reproducing yourself that all other Anurans
suffer, yet achieving engendering is still 15-20% effective.

Insecticide Tolerance (7pts Merit, Samsa only)

This merit works the same as the werewolf merit called "Tolerance to Silver" with the
only difference that it is applied with the insecticide and similar products.

Psychiatric Treatment (4pts Merit or Defect, Samsa only)

You are one of the lucky few Samsa who has managed to find help for her mental
disorders. With at least 4 days a week of certain psychiatric medications and therapeutic
treatment at least once a month the difficulties in resisting the effects of your mental
disorders are reduced by 2. It should be noted that if you leave medical treatment for
more than a week you permanently lose this merit.
Psychiatric treatment as a defect gives the same benefits, but the problem is that Samsa
is under treatment by Pentex. You are under the consumption of a dangerous drug that,
although it helps you with your mental problems, has generated a very strong addiction.
This dependence on the drug is equal to Addiction Flaw. Unlike the merit of the same
name if you stop using the drug the difficulties to resist the effects of your mental
disorders increase by 2 (Maximum Diff. 10) and you get Addiction Flaw at its highest
level towards that drug.
Finally, whether as a merit or a flaw, psychiatric treatment has a very difficult cost to
pay for an ordinary citizen. A Samsa to be able to afford this treatment must have at
least 3 points in the resource background.

Flashes of Sanity (5pts Merit, Samsa only)

You're one of the few Samsa's who doesn't suffer from more than one mental disorder.
With this merit you only start with Paranoia disorder.

Spiritually Invisible (2pts merit, Kerasi only)

You're hard to magically locate by your enemies. The difficulty in identifying your true
nature or corruption of the Wyrm increases by 2.

Armored Faru (3pts Merit, Kerasi only)

In your rhino form you're more resistant to damage. In Faru form you get +1 absorption.

Psychic Powers (7pts Merit)

You are a unique member of your species, either because of your spiritual hybrid nature
or some nanotechnology implant you have developed psychic powers. With this merit
you have access to the psychic phenomena described in Sorcerer Revised. Unlike the
sorcerers described in that book, the shapeshifter does not start with any points to deal
with psychic phenomena, he has to pay for them one by one as indicated, each level of
psychic phenomena costs 7 freebie points. For more information about these powers,
consult the aforementioned book of Sorcerer Revised.

Simiform (4pts Merit, Yeren only)

You have managed to develop a third form that consists of transforming yourself into a
small primate, usually a chimpanzee or some tree ape. In primate form the Yeren is no
taller than 70 cm and weighs more than 45 kg.
In primate form the Yeren has Strength +1, Dexterity +4, Manipulation -3, Athletics
+3. In Primate form Yeren has a bite and claw attack equal to Strength +1 Difficulty 7,
lethal damage.

Party Addict (3pts Merit, Yeren only)

Year after year of wild parties have made you more resistant to the consumption of
certain substances and practically immune to withdrawal symptoms and hangovers.
With this merit reduces by 2 the tests to resist the effects of alcohol and drugs, this merit
only has an effect on non-supernatural substances. The yeren with this merit can halve
the time needed to recover after excessive drug intake.
Beastly Power (4pts Merit, Yeren only)
The Yeren when in Crinos is able to do more damage with its natural attacks. With this
merit his claw and bite attacks do aggravated damage rather than lethal.

Gigantopithecus (3pts merit, Yeren only)

In Crinos Form you're taller and heavier than the average Yeren. With this merit the
Yeren in Crinos form gets an additional level of bruised health. In Crinos you get to
measure approximately more than 4 meters, this merit reduces by 1 the difficulties in
skill tests related to strength or stamina. But being so big it increases by 1 the difficulties
in skill related tests.

Garou' s Blood (4pts Merit, Hellhounds only)

You are the product of a selective breeding of dogs and wolves with the aim of mixing
with the garous packs. In the shape of a canis you look very similar to a wolf. For a
garou to give away your lie you'll have to do a roll of perception + subterfuge or wits +
survival, Difficulty 8. This merit only makes you look like a wolf, any sample of blood
or hair will still show you for what you really are, as will the use of any supernatural
power.

Pack Leader (3pts Merit, Hellhounds only)

All shapeshifters cause discomfort and fear of other animals, but some Hellhounds have
managed to develop a particular ability to keep dogs and other pets calm. With this merit
when you are in shape Canis other dogs will not be scared by the effects of Rage, other
pets such as cats, mice or birds reduce by 2 the difficulties in testing to resist the aura of
fear that causes rabies Hellhound.

Barghest (Merit 4pts, Hellhounds only)

Thanks to your heritage Garou has access to the Hispo form. In Hispo form (or better
known as Barghest form) the Hellhound looks like a giant dog with dark fur, bright red
eyes and huge maws. The Hellhound in Barghest form does not look like any existing
dog breed but what stands out most, besides its black fur, are its eyes that shine like fire
and a dense fog that emanates around it. The Barguest form has the same features as the
Hispo del Garou form. The Hellhound in Barghest form causes Delirium just as in his
Crinos form.

Flaws
Viscous (3 or 5pts flaw, Anurana only)
You can't stop producing drool through your skin, this substance has gotten you into a
lot of trouble interacting with people, this drool makes you look completely unpleasant
as it is a very thick substance that is quite different from sweat or water. Its highest level
of the flaw generates such an exaggerated amount of slime that it makes it impossible for
the anurana to pick up objects, it also hinders the eyes making it difficult to see and the
worst thing is that the frog man generates so much slime that it leaves huge puddles
where it passes by making it very easy to track.
The lower version of the flaw causes the subterfuge, empathy and leadership tests to
increase by 2. The higher version of the flaw apart from including the increased difficulty
in the skills already mentioned increases by 2 the difficulties of alertness, stealth and the
skill tests related to the use of objects, if you were to fail a skill test by manipulating
objects these will be thrown out of your hands because of the slime. This drool cannot
be removed by any conventional means, a point of willpower nullifies this secretion for
a whole day, the higher version of this defect with one point of willpower per day reduces
the defect to its lower version.

Terrestrial (6pts flaw, Anurana only)

Maybe it's that your human genetics weigh more or you're just a monster that should
never have been born. Unlike other Anuranas, you lack the ability to be amphibious,
which means you can drown like any other living thing on earth. Such a disability makes
you a liability to your pack and to Pentex, so you will have to find another way to be
useful to your allies and superiors.

Insatiable Hunger (4pts Flaw)

You have a hunger that is impossible to satisfy, no matter how much you eat you'll keep
choking to death. Each scene you'll make a roll of willpower, the difficulty will be equal
to your reserve of Rage and get at least 3 successes. If you fail the test of will you won't
stop until you find something to eat, no matter what the state of the food is, you won't
stop eating.
For every food binge that is more than one kilogram you will do an endurance test +
athletics difficulty 7, each failure will cause a level of heavy damage and each miss will
be a level of lethal damage. By eating all the food in the room you are in, you will be
able to do another test of willpower like the previous one, but this time the difficulty will
be increased by 1.
You can spend one point of willpower to control your hunger. But if in any test of
willpower you slip up, you will automatically go into a frenzy and not only search for
food but kill everyone you come across in order to feed yourself.

Vigorexia (3pts defect, Kerasi and Yeren only)

You have an eating disorder of the same name, and no matter how hard you exercise
your body, you will always feel like a wimp. This disorder will cause you to use all sorts
of substances to build up your muscle mass, no matter how hard they try to convince
you, you won't stop exercising. To obtain this defect the character must have at least 4
points in Strength and 3 in Athletics.

Devotion to Pentex (3pts flaw, Kerasi and Hellhounds only)

You've been so terribly brainwashed by Pentex. Your indoctrination is unwavering and
I would give your life for the company. No matter how dangerous or absurd the order,
you will follow all the orders of the company to the letter. You get automatic success
and the difficulty is reduced to 2 against mental powers that force you to act against
Pentex.
From a certain point this defect could also be considered a merit since under no
circumstances would you seek to conspire against Pentex, but more realistically this is
still a defect, since within Pentex everyone seeks to kill each other in order to move up
the corporate hierarchy.
Your fanaticism makes it impossible for you to see beyond this and realize that you are
only being used. Once you are on stage, you will be able to do a test of willpower,
difficulty 8 in order to act coherently; this does not mean that your devotion to the
company will change, you will simply recover your common sense and will try not to
die at the whim of your superiors.

Canine Mind (5pts flaw, Hellhounds only)

Despite your company training you still act like a dog or at least the worst of these
animals. You are overly affectionate with those you consider your superiors and friends,
often invading personal space and being very suffocating. You could also be very jealous
of those you consider your allies and be very violent with strangers as a guard dog. In
certain months, just like dogs, you go into heat, constantly touching your private parts
and harassing the people you are attracted to. You can't stand being alone, if you are far
from your "pack" or your "owners" you enter into an anxiety episode and start eating
compulsively and destroying things.
In general, you have a very anxious nature and develop very exaggerated feelings of
attachment to those you consider to be your leaders and friends. These are the only
canine traits that this defect presents, the point of this flaw is not that the player acts in
a ridiculous way, that is, that he barks, chases cats or walks on all fours, remember that
it is World Of Darkness and you should not break the dark atmosphere of the game.

Spiritually Marginalised (flaw 3 to 7pts)

Even though you are technically a shifter for many spirits you are still an aberration.
Once per session a spirit, whether from the Wyrm, Gaia or Weaver (at the Narrator's
discretion) will secretly sabotage any attempts by the shifter to walk sideways, activate
gifts or fetishes.
At the beginning of each session the player rolls a reserve of dice equal to his permanent
Gnosis score, the Difficulty equals 10 - flaw Level, each success is converted to a reserve
of dice that the Narrator may use once per session, for each success is two dice.
Once per session, at the discretion of the Narrator, when the player wants to walk
sideways, activate gifts or use fetishes he must do a test of Will Power against the
Narrator's dice pool, the Difficulty equals 2 + Flaw Level. If the player fails this test, his
attempt to use gifts, walk sideways, or use fetishes automatically fails and he loses a
temporary point of willpower and gnosis.

Pentex Addict (4pts flaw)

Your bond with Pentex is so strong that you cannot live without the company's products.
You must consume Pentex-related products on a daily basis. These products include
food, medicine, and cosmetic products. This defect works similar to the Addiction flaw,
in addition, each time you abstain from consuming Pentex products you lose a
temporary point of Gnosis.

Lord of the Cockroaches (4pts flaw, Samsa only)

You're a cockroach magnet, no matter where you go, dozens of insects appear and
they're always around you. As much as you want to hide it, it's obvious to everyone that
you're the one who attracts cockroaches. Luckily for you, the cockroaches appear little
by little, and after a minute in the place where you are, your defect is completely evident
and you will be forced to flee.

Yeren vs Yeren
In recent years the first meetings
between the real Yeren and the Yeren of
Pentex have already begun, the former
having succeeded in assassinating
several of their leaders in China and

attack from a distance or secretly guide
others who, if they can eliminate them.
