Ramon still beats the streets, but now runs with a whole different kind of crowd. And if the “bad guys” he catches never make it home again, or a situation calls for the occasional collateral damage, well hey, its still a hard world out there, especially for any in Fort Wolf Posse Territory.
Ramon strives to be the absolute deadliest combination of Man and Beast: Savage but Smart, willing to fight with his head as well as with his teeth and claws. His mental stats don’t drop (except for Rapport) when he shifts, meaning he retains almost all of his human mind in wolf form.
Also notice that Ramon’s Pack Instincts, Inh. Speed and Inh. Strength are outside the Human Form trait. Also notice that all of the other named FWP members have Pack Instincts outside their Human Form as well. Man + Beast = Deathy Death Death :)
Ramon has no idea where the necklace came from, but it was what “taught” him to Beast Shift in the first place. No actual words, mind you, just sort of “growls” at him in his head. (This doesn’t have any IG repercussions neccessarily, which is why it isn’t specifically Aspected.) Ultimately the source of arcane knowledge that made the FWP and Ramon what they are today is this thing, and no one knows where it came from. It also taught him other things thru “example”, like Echoes of the Beast, Pack Instincts, etc. which he then teaches to the rest of the FWP Ramon learned to shift from the necklace and can now do it under his own power, which is why Beast Form, among other powers, isn’t under the Item of Power stats. Were it to be worn by someone else, it would grant different more basic werewolf abilities until that individual learned them himself, then would grant “improved” abilities for the subject to learn.
Regardless of anything else, Ramon is a good leader, if a little standoff-ish sometimes. Luisa was his first student, his first Love, and wolves mate for life. He genuinely cares about his Pack and takes it very personally when they are messed with unnessarily. He treats them with respect and distinction based on their individual merits, even when they challenge his authority. He’ll still take them down like a rabid dog, prefering to stay in Human form for the fight, but he’ll still respect them enough to not kill them outright if they have valuable skills or if they have no prior history of insubordination.
Enlistment is ‘For the Duration’
Please read Luisa before reading this. Ramon really, really wishes Luisa hadn’t killed the three quitters. His true love did it because it was an insult to his role as Alpha and threatened unit security/integrity… totally understandable… however, the folks in the pack are still humans too. Morale is through the floor… feeble smiles, forced laughter, fake camaraderie. Ramon has no idea how to fix this, yet. If only there was a way to … maybe mind-whammy them or something and MAKE them comply. But that’s apparently against the White Council’s rules… but then again, he’s not a Wizard…
