occur. Drawn to darkness, they still burn with Helios’light. Midnight Suns are born between sunset and sunrise.They tend to love puzzles and paradoxes. Many act aspoets, jokers, artists, mythmakers, or guides to the dead.Without the sun to guide them, they follow othersources of light, and other philosophies. All share thesame Benefit and begin play with the same beginningWillpower, but they are the most diverse of the seven“solar” aspects. In fact, they are so diverse that they havetheir own three “midnight” aspects.• Night-Suns are born by moonlight, under Luna’s glow.They seek Gifts from the moon, calling her the “Sun of theNight.” At the Storyteller’s discretion, they may learn GarouGifts taught by Lunes.• Many-Suns are born under the stars (before the moonhas risen or after it has set). They often claim that “every staris a sun,” and thus insist that they are a thousand times moreblessed than their brethren. They follow as many paths totruths as the stars themselves, falling in love with wild ideas.• No-Suns are born under the lightless sky, during nighttimestorms or other dark celestial events. The most mysteriousaspect of all, they draw wisdom from the empty spaces betweenstars, claiming that “light is sometimes darkness.”Beginning Willpower: 4Auspice Benefit: When all is hopeless, a MidnightSun shines with courage. When a Shining Mokolé bringshumor or courage in the midst of a hopeless situation,the Storyteller may bestow an extra die to be used onany one dice pool. The Storyteller should not grant thisbenefit more than once per scene.• Decorated Suns, Gathering: When light gathers,the sun is encircled by a halo. Decorated Suns are bornwhen the sun is surrounded by rings, rays, or flares oflight (sometimes called “sundogs”); thus, they are amongthe rarest of the Mokolé. Other aspects consider themlist-makers or busybodies, but they see themselves ashardworking organizers, coordinators, or matchmakers.Younger Decorated Suns love to either draw a clutchtogether or attach themselves to a successful clutch(which would no doubt benefit from the expertise ofa Gathering Mokolé). The Crowning may reign, theDecorated Suns claim, but the Gathering actually getthings done.Beginning Willpower: 5Auspice Benefit: A Gathering may gain an extra dieto one dice pool when acting in a collective effort. TheStoryteller may bestow this die once per scene.• Solar Eclipse, Crowning: In moments of astronomicalwonder, fantastic events can occur. The rarest ofall Mokolé are born during a solar eclipse. They are theruler-priests of Mokolé society; all weresaurians defer toa Crowning Mokolé. This respect is not without a cost,however. Crowning Mokole are expected to aid those inneed, and to put the greater good of their Breed, stream,144
