Qyrl (as totem)

Qyrl is a totem, of the aquatic Fera.

Overview
Some individual Rokea petition Qyrl as their totem, reasoning that her skill in hiding will serve them well (such Rokea are nearly always betweeners). This is true, but Qyrl's patronage changes the Rokea, tainting him. Qyrl's child smells faintly of the Wyrm to anyone who uses the Gift: sense Wyrm on him, and other Rokea immediately distrust him, even if they don't know why. Qyrl uses Rokea in her service to lead other Rokea into traps, to carry out missions of destruction on land, and to send out misleading messages via remora to other weresharks. The Storyteller is perfectly within her rights to disallow Qyrl as a totem.

Traits
Grants her followers +3 Stealth, +1 Linguistics (whatever the dominant human language in the area is), +2 Occult, +2 Survival, and 1 dot of Wits. She also provides food and shelter for her charges, in the form of large, tasty squid in the ocean, or in the form of lucky finds on land (e.g., the Rokea happens upon a bagged lunch that someone "forgot"). She will also whisper hints to her children about how to survive on Unsea. Needless to say, Qyrl does not require Gnosis to provide her children with assistance on land.

Ban
The Rokea must obey Qyrl's commands without question. These commands are prone to materialize at some of the least convenient times, and lead to some not-so-palatables activities. Cost 6 for a slew, 8 for an individual.
