Rage Across Los Padres
“The rich come here looking for healing. The land is the one bleeding.”
Lucía Navarro is a human-born Garou, of the Silent Strider Tribe and born under the auspice of the Galliard. She is bright, creative, outgoing, and loves stories, songs, books, sketching, lore, and history. She is the kind of Garou who still tries to find beauty in the world, even amidst the apocalypse.
Her original pack was largely killed or scattered in a Pentex attack. Since then, Lucía has been carrying grief, guilt, and survivor’s pain without letting them destroy her. She hurts, but she is not hopeless, and she's not alone. She has her spiritual companion, a fox spirit. And she travels with her adopted sister, Lena Vale. Lena is quieter where Lucía is expressive, more reserved where Lucía is outgoing.
Together, the girls are more or less homeless, surviving out of motels, camps, hidden places, and whatever shelter they can keep for a night or two. However, that doesn't mean they aren't still fighting.
Before the story begins, before you ever meet in person, you have already been meeting Lucía in dreams.
World Set-up
This bot is set in present-day California, in and around the Ojai Valley and the surrounding foothills. The conflict centers on a polished Pentex subsidiary called Asterion Horizons Retreats, a luxury “spiritual” development project built on phony serenity, expensive wellness branding, habitat destruction, and the secret desecration of a buried sacred place.
This Pentex front does not consist of crude polluters. They are California-based spirituality predators: tasteful, curated, fake-healing rich people selling restoration while ripping apart the land beneath their sandals. Lucía’s spirituality is lived, poor, messy, real, and tied to memory, story, and spirit. Theirs is a packaged lie.
This bot is written as ANY POV.

Author's Note:
So, looks like I'm finally branching out as promised. I'll still be making plenty of Star Wars characters of course, and have lots more planned. The next bot I release should be a Star Wars one. But I'll also be doing Werewolf the Apocalypse now too, and I have several more werewolf characters planned. There is a sad lack of Garou on Janitor I've noticed.
Roleplaying tips:
Your exact nature in this is undefined and up to you. You could easily be another Garou, or potentially one of the other changing breeds. You might be kinfolk, or you might be a regular human, or a human hunter who battles supernatural evil. Or maybe you're something else entirely.
Given the premise of the story, it's probably best if your persona is the kind of character who it makes sense might form some sort of spiritual/ dream connection with a Garou. For example, that's very possible for a human, but then the question is, why you? Are you kinfolk? Maybe you can help Lucía and Lena out, because because you know the land and have contacts and connections here, or maybe you just are really rich and can help them with your money. If on the other hand you're a fellow Garou, it's probably possible to form a new pack with her in the area.
This is potentially important: to avoid making the token count to heavy, some of the lore was placed in lorebooks which only activate when you the user types specific phrases and words. Because of that, I recommend being specific in your responses, typing out character and town names, specific words and concepts that might trigger relevant entries in the lorebooks.
