[Vincent V. Kerensky]

A new tournament is looming on the horison. I know I am going to fight in it... Are you?

If you are looking for a Clan Wolf lorebased group to drop with, look no further. Why not drop into our Teamspeak, get yourself some Sibko tags and get a feel of how it is?

I will be dropping as a warrior of Clan Wolf once I get my clan mechs. I unfortunately inadvertently chose a Clan Coyote bloodname when naming my pilot, but I will change it to something more appropriate as soon as I am able to. I mostly play after 9PM PST, so I will be looking for a group that is active around that time. For now I will be dropping as a Lone Wolf (no pun intended).

Well, we are waiting for you. A potential new warrior is always welcome.

I have lost Jaroth Corbett's list of bloodnames, is Steele a Coyote-exclusive Bloodname? If not, you could just say you have been taken as a Bondsman by Clan Wolf from the Coyotes And, after all, the Coyotes were allied of the Wolves.

Steele is a Coyote exclusive bloodname according to Sarna, true I could be abtakha.

Abtakha is a honored rite.

And what is to say that I would not win a trial to earn that honor?

[CoffiNail]

I mean to say that it is a honor to be abtakha, not that your could not aspire to one, or are one. I was meaning that in a posative note, but I feel you took it as negative, quiaff?

Do not rely on Sarna for your lore, but in this case yes, Steele in a Coyote exclusive.

You do not win a trial to become abtakha. The Clan Council votes on it or the individual that took you as a bondsman can make the call himself.

Heresy,

The Bloodname Steele is one you can rightly be proud of, a history of great deeds and exceptional warriors.

Why else would the Wolves claim you as bonsdman to reinforce their own touman.

Hold your head high mechwarrior, and show the Wolves how a real warrior can fight.



EDIT: Besides, Wolf and Coyote go way back together. They BFF

Indeed. They share Kerensky genes as do us Ghost Bears.

? How so?

[CoffiNail]

Please elaborate. I thought the wolves guarded the Kerensky genes sacred. I was under the impression only the gene of Andery Kerensky and Dana Kufahl and only Wolf can have the Kerensky as gene mother.

[Jaroth Corbett]

True but it still means the Coyotes have warriors with Kerensky genes in them even if they cannot claim the Kerensky Bloodname, as do us Ghost Bears. We did a genetic exchange with the Wolves. Our warriors have the genes of the Founder himself.

I am interested in the source of this information Jaroth. Some small snippet from somewhere, quiaff?

I knew the Coyotes and Wolves had some sharing of Kerensky genes (although the Coyotes cannot contest the bloodname) but its the first I heard about the ghost Bears.

In the Warden Clan Source book which is up to 3061 I cannot see Clan Ghost Bear making any claim to Kerensky DNA linkage.

Is it post that? Wars of Reaving or something?

EDIT: I guess the reason I ask is that afaik, Ghost Bear and Wolf are more or less feuding over the whole Wolverine saga, so for about 250 years or so. I don't understand how it could be a consent thing in that background.

Funny you should mention that Craig. It is in fact from the Warden Clan Field Manual, Pg.99



Come now Coffi. I did say in the Training Theory manual that "our genetic legacies are constantly sought after by the other Clans because we produce the finest warriors."

Did you think it was just embellishment?

The Wolves, Coyotes & Ghost Bears all have warriors with Kerensky DNA in them.

I am embarrassed that I forgot about sigma Galaxy' write up. I remember how awesome it was to read about that. It would sound like this Sibko would have been 3020-3035. This is why I not only enjoy Jaroth' friendship, but also respect his knowledge of Battletech Lore.

Well there you go. I did stop after the history and military section of the Clan expecting something so major would be in those sections but it is quite clearly there in the deployments / toumans.

So in canon, Ghost Bear did have one 'Kerensky' left from a single sibko who failed his Trial of Position and now serves as a Galaxy Commander from an armoured vehicle after being given a second chance at being a warrior. Do Ghost Bears commonly grant a second chance at Warrior?

EDIT, Didn't the Jade Falcons scientists combine Keresky DNA with JF to create all those young warriors that joined the touman after teh refusal war. I remember the book talking about their Clan Wolf physical appearances? They did graduate as mechwarriors if I recall correctly, and fought at Coventry. I wonder how many "Kerensky's" Clan Jade Falcon has?

[Jaroth Corbett]

We do but not in the same field. For example, Khan Bjorn Jorgensson failed his initial ToP as a mechwarrior but passed his second one as a pilot for the aerospace wing.

Additionally, who is to say we did not make more sibkos with the Kerensky DNA? It is not like it is a one time deal.

As far as Ed goes, he could be one of the warriors that has Andery Kerensky's DNA in his genetic makeup which would make him an ideal candidate as abtakha for the Wolves. See how it all works out?

EDIT: Added the Khan's name.

Aff, I misunderstood your intention. If Clan Wolf were to take me as a bondsman and then accept me into their warrior caste, that would indeed make me abtakha. The backstory would be quite interesting, a bloodnamed Clan Coyote warrior taken by Clan Wolf as isorla, yet still respected enough to be allowed into the warrior caste, quiaff?

A Kerensky / Steele sibko?
