Origin
Characters come from all different walks of life. At creation you choose an Origin from the below list. Each origin provides 2 Ability dots that you gain for free at creation. (These do not increase your cap above 5) Not all origins are suitable for all breeds. We have broken down the different origins into if they fit Homid or Lupus garou more, if you are not of that breed you may choose one of the others, but it will take a harder justification. Ostraka garou, being children of both worlds may choose any origin, or an Ostraka specific.
