I geek out on this kind of stuff.

Sorry if there's lots of irritating questions about it.


When I hear housing development I keep thinking “housing project”.
I assume we’re talking about suburban sprawl…. i.e. lots of different similar looking houses with slightly different themes. Some (most?) of the houses have fences but the developments themselves don’t. Am I on target?
You are on target, there are mock fences that denote each development... although Mile High Palisades is gated.

50 sqm means that we’re talking about 7.07 sq miles on a side, right?
So the furthest point from point to point (i.e. diagonally) would be 10 miles or so?
(Obviously not exact, just wanted to get a feel for it).
Yeah this sounds about right.

In terms of wealth level are we talking American Beauty or higher up the scale, like the richer side of Desperate Housewives? (i.e. to people cut their own lawns or have someone do it for them?)
Hillside Heights is American Beauty... Mile High Palisades is a little higher then that, homes in the Palisades start at the high end of Hillside Heights.

Are the stores spread through out the area or clustered somewhere?
Clustered closer to the mall.

I will handle the Ban, I have a decent idea of hat I want it to be :)

TW, the knife drake got from pops, I put a bit more background dots in it, so it's a klaive 4 now, to beef up the fighting ability of the pack.

I was thinking something that looks like a survival-bowie knife kinda thingie, but when activated it grows to the size of a sword, and looks as frightening as possible, giving the holder an aura of fear (intimidate +2? +3?).

I've put one background into totem, and used the 3 xp to buy survival at 1 dot.

Now I'm at work 'til the weekend , so could anyone help me out with the things like initiative and such, 'cuz I only have the werewolf book with me? And where's the RG? thanks.

Background:

Drake O'Connor is from Irish descent. His mother tried to take care of him and his four siblings. He never knew his father, and it is not a matter that is discussed in the family. He helped in granddad's pub, working in the kitchen, helping at the bar, cleaning glasses. His education was in the hands of a lot of 'uncles', travelling singers that played at the bar for a few nights, then travelled on, making the circuit. He learned to play guitar, to sing, how to set-up sound equipment, how to drink, smoke, fight, steal and flirt with women. Only thanks to his mother did he still go to school, and surprisingly didn't do all that bad, taking everything into account.

One night his world turned upside down. When he was out watching a concert, the pub was robbed, and something went wrong. The police never told him what exactly happened, but the place turned from armed robbery to a massacre. His grandfather, mother, two brothers and sister got butchered. He never saw their faces again, they had to be buried in closed caskets. They used a blood sample and dental records for identification.
The pub got sold to pay of the debts.
While rummaging through the stuff of his mother, he found some things presumably belonging to his father : a big knife,a guitar, and a picture from a mountaintop, showing his mother in her early twenties and a fierce looking, unknown man.

For the last years Drake has been roaming the states, making his way from town to town, singing and playing the guitar, or working, in bars, as a seasonal worker, moving around, looking for a mountaintop and a fierce looking man. His music is strange, haunting, full of sorrow and loss. He keeps writing more and more songs, some of them in what he thinks is old gaellic, a language taught by one of the weirder uncles. He is restless, and sleeps as little as possible, for his dreams frighten him, and he fears that he is slowly going mad.

Drake is tall and fairly handsome, with long blond hair tied in a ponytail, and thick bushy sideburns. The year on the road has made him thin, and there is an uncomfortable wildness in his eyes. He walks around in well-worn jeans and stout hiking boots, with his guitar in a reinforced case and his knife in a holster between his shoulder blades, tucked away onder his jacket but still easy to reach. He has a small bag with a change of clothes.

Toki it hasn't been used yet so I was wondering if I could drop the Barfly merit? Thinking about it, it doesn't make sense for a 16 year old who honestly looks rather young to have it, I would just put the freed up point into mentor so that I'd only be 1 exp away instead of 3.

Since they go to the same high school, has Faith run into Kim? Or heard of her? I know we wouldn't really stand a chance against the 3 sisters, but it is our territory so they probably at least introduced Kim to us since she is in our territory daily, right?

+2 to all rolls of Intimidation sound fine to me on the Klaive, give it a cool name :)
Could the klaive dedicated? I'm imagening something like a knife in human form, a sword in the inbetween form, and a twohander in the garou form, and just disappearing in the wolf forms, just leaving a palpable aura of menace, as a name I'd suggest 'Dragon's fang', with a hilt of carved ivory depicting a dragon.
 

Camera has rite of dedication so dedicating it to you is not a problem.
[edit=rest of comment wasn't useful. nuked it.]
 

Here's how traits are derived
Defense= lower of Dex and Wits
Health=Stamina + Size
Initiative= Dex + Composure
Harmony = 7
Size = 5
Speed () = Strength + Dex + x
for human form x = 5
Willpower = Resolve + Composure

Starting Essense = Harmony (7) I think
