Trendy Hat
Spirit · Werewolf
Trendy Hat is a spirit of cultural zeitgeist, one the Wyrm has
fostered well. Trendy Hat embodies the self-celebration of young men. Specifically young
bodies the self-celebration of young men. Specifically young
men that fancy themselves
as “gentlemen,” clinging to
outdated concepts of chivalry. The original idea of chivalry is selfish and objectifying, when these individuals present it as being beneficial it hurts the culture at large. Which makes it a prime philosophy for Wyrm emanations.
The Trendy Hat anchors itself in a piece of clothing, usually a hat. Sometimes a trilby. Sometimes a trucker hat. The wearer opens himself to possession, which Trendy Hat takes eagerly. The spirit then
spreads negativity and anguish all
about itself. It manipulates others’
emotions, it uses its Charms to
cause complications in their personal and romantic relationships,
sonal and romantic relationships,
and it destroys what they hold
dear. Then, it looks for an
opening. When the victim is vulnerable enough to allow
possession, it births a Bane to possess them.
Needless to say, Garou root Trendy Hats out quickly once discovered. Left
