For me loss is no stranger. I first became acquainted with loss when I was but a little girl. My mother left us due to an illness, not an uncommon thing at the time. Not a whole lot was known of medicine or diseases. After she was gone is was just father and I. He was kind and understanding but soon came to hate the Gods. He cursed them for taking my mother and soon he seemed to have lost his mind. People soon came to disrespect him as he made a fool of himself at the temples.

He became angrier throughout the years. As I got older I no longer held that childlike innocence that had protected me for as long as it had. Soon he started to hate me just as he hated the Gods. My old acquaintance of loss reared its ugly head as he became overcome by his lunacy. He came in the dead of night with what few friends he had retained which weren’t much considering they were also outcasts due to their natures. My father had decided that there were to be no more children in this world that resembled my mother.

So as they took from me my womanhood that night that brought forth the beast and with that more loss. I had to run after that causing me to lose my home. As I fled I took on a disguise by cutting my hair and hiding that I was a girl. Another loss now that I no longer had the means to be reminded of my mother through our similar hair. After becoming a boy I took to the only job that would have me, cabin boy.

We came into port in a very strange land where I was to meet the person who would become my first mate, Narve. I was discovered at last to not be a boy. My all too recognizable feminine features were now pronounced. Another loss of identity, though through these losses I had become stronger. This was something that nobody had expected and I grew to love that they were not ready for what was to come.

I soon gained my ship which I named after my homeland and Gods. Naunet Khentimentiu, or the Gods of the Dead’s Destiny on the Seas. Through this gain was more loss, crew and the like. I will power through though. I have learned from my losses and will continue on my journey through the sea. I now control the losses and will always remember that.
This is my character Thema a werewolf pirate. She is Egyptian. I do not own White Wolf Werewolf systems. Thema is mine though!
