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outdated concepts of chivalry.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

Rage: 6, Willpower: 6, Gnosis: 8, Essence: 20

Charms: Blighted Touch, Corruption, Incite Frenzy, Possession

unchecked, a Trendy Hat can leave an empire of Banes in its wake.
