Hiriraka

The Hiriraka are an Auspice of the Uratha associated with the solar eclipse.

Overview

Irraka changed under a solar eclipse, Hiriraka, are rare. A total solar eclipse only happens once about every eighteen months, but only in a given location about once per 370 years. Human legend sees the solar eclipse as a portent of rapid, often massive change in the world. Hiriraka exemplify this. They embody the principals of Irraka in a different manner. Instead of working through stealth to exemplify the nature of their Cunning, they work through unpredictability. They stand to protect the unknown, to surprise the pack’s opponents with tactics never before seen, with distractions, ambushes, feints, tricks, bait, and sometimes even showy displays of self-sacrifice. The Hiriraka are the proverbial eyes of storms, surrounded by chaos wherever they go.

Primary Renown: Cunning

Specialty Skills: Intimidation, Stealth, Survival

Gift Lists: New Moon, Stealth, Evasion

Auspice Ability: The Uncertain Flesh. Solar eclipses are masters of changing their forms to surprise opponents. Once per scene, they are able to change shape reflexively without expenditure of Essence. As well, they are always able to return to Hishu form reflexively without spending Essence.

The Change: Everything breaks down. Murphy’s Law strikes tenfold; anything and everything that could go wrong does. Technology breaks, things catch fire, people trip into traffic. Often too much for the new Uratha, it typically causes the Hiriraka to seek seclusion and shelter.
