Kinfolk
Slouch’s closest Kinfolk connections are more of the found family variety than any sort of blood relations. Both are Bone Gnawer Kin, streetwise survivors who have each carved out their own way in the underbelly of the world.
Nate Rourke
Nathan is an older, world-weary grifter who’s been running scams and side hustles for longer than Slouch has been alive. He’s got a sharp mind for schemes and a deep distrust of authority, always ready to pass down hard-earned lessons about how to survive when you’ve got nothing. He took Slouch under his wing early on, teaching him the art of pickpocketing, finding safe places to crash, and reading people’s angles. Gruff but protective, he sees Slouch as a little brother (even if he'd never say it outright).
Jesse Alvarez
Jesse is closer to Slouch’s age, a restless drifter who bounces from city to city, making and losing fortunes on a whim. Jesse thrives on chaos—hustling pool tables, running street cons, and sweet-talking his way into (and out of) trouble. Where Nate is cautious, Jesse is reckless, and Slouch often finds himself stuck between the two—one urging patience, the other pushing him toward the next big score.
Mentor ~ 2
Bobuck Jacobs
Whispers-Through-Walls is a no-nonsense and pragmatic Ragabash Bone Gnawer Athro, currently living in Seattle. Bobuck Jacobs has a deep respect for anyone who can show the grit to survive. His mentorship is about creating warriors who can survive the Wyrm’s forces without getting caught in its snare. He will occasionally Moon Bridge into town to smack Slouch upside the head or impart some sort of valuable lesson. Or both.
His advice to Slouch is often blunt:
“People aren’t the problem. People are the solution. Don’t let your own fear stop you from taking what you need.”
“You think you can just hustle and run forever? At some point, you’re going to need to stop and plant your feet. Don’t wait until you’re cornered. Make your own way.”
“Always be the one who walks away. You want Glory? Start with your head, not your fists.”
