  Name: Moyo
  Race: Elephant
  Gender: Male
  Age: 22
  Ethnic Background: South African
  Alignment: Principled
  
  Spoiler: Nature: Penitent

  The Penitent exists to atone for the grave sin she commits simply by being who she is. Penitents have either low self-esteem or traumatic past experiences, and feel compelled to “make up” for inflicting themselves upon the world. Penitent Archetypes are not always religious in outlook; some truly want to scourge the world of the grief they bring to it. Repentant sinners, persons with low self-esteem, and remorseful criminals are examples of the Penitent Archetype. Penitent Kindred include those who scourge themselves of the Beast like medieval monks, vampires who stand up for the rights of mortals, and those who subsist entirely on the vitae of animals.
  — Regain a point of Willpower whenever you feel that you have achieved absolution for a given grievance. This redemption should be of the same magnitude as the transgression — the greater the crime, the greater the penance. The Storyteller is the ultimate arbiter of what constitutes a reasonable act of reparation.
  Spoiler: Demeanor: Guru

  Your enlightenment draws others to you. You may be a mentor of a particular Path of Enlightenment, a priest with the Church, or merely an idealist. Whatever the case, your presence motivates and moves others to engage in spiritual or ideological pursuits. Your peers view you as calm, centered, and “with it,” even when you are preaching violence as a means to an end. Cult leaders, Zen masters, and Pack Priests are examples of Gurus.
  — Regain a point of Willpower whenever someone seeks out your help in spiritual matters and your guidance moves that individual to an enlightened action that he normally would not have taken. Also, regain a point of Willpower whenever you achieve an epiphany that relates to your personal philosophy.

  5 Good Things Your Fellow Teammates Know About Your Character!
  1. Big and strong does not equal slow and dumb. Moyo may not be as quick witted as Toby, but he can hold his own even against the smart little guy in Moyo’s favorite pastime: board games!
  
  2. Moyo has a guilty pleasure: The Young And The Restless. Yes, he loves his soap operas, and does his best to never miss a show.
  
  3. He hates to use guns, and while he understands that there are those that show remarkable skill with them, and that there are times that a rifle in the hands of a skilled sniper can make a huge difference in combat, he would rather go bare handed into a fight than pick up a firearm.
  
  4. While there are times that a person must be fought to stop them from harming an innocent, Moyo is very reluctant to use deadly force. There at some people that leave you no choice, but he will try to resolve any problem without killing if at all possible. If it ever happens that he does cause the death of someone, he will be filled with regret over his actions.

  3 Maybe-not-so-good Things Your Fellow Teammates Know About Your Character!
  1. Despite his best efforts, Moyo struggles with a bad temper. He frequently can be found meditating in an effort to find some inner peace and control his anger. He lives in fear that he will lose his control and cause someone he cares for to be hurt by his great strength again.
