So you're thinking of making a back up for Rivervale. Well, GOLLY

Let's take a look at the kith break down

Trolls are ALWAYS in demand, there's good IC reason for them, but some might argue they're too much the favorite. The choice is up to you

Sidhe come and go, Carowyn and Brogan are there, but the former is rarely seen.. and Brogan is a kid... but we can move onto seeming shortly. Give up having any 'real power' in this setting, oh titled lady, but then you weren't looking for that

Sluagh have but two real stands outs. Lily, who cheats by being creepy adorable in two settings, and Symon the Denier, who as everyone knows is REDACTED,REDACTED, REDACTED, CLASSIFIED, INCORRECT PASSWORD and that's all you need to know about him. Another slaugh of any seeming could probably find a niche but might feel secondary to Symon in some ways

Of boggans, we have but NPCs, but at least one of them is a major power in the setting, Anne Marie, knight of Liam, finds her social work skills always in demand and that appears to be how she likes it. While some love Lucia and Ramona, and folks may or may not worry about Cleo the kid with the compulsions, they are mostly background and will likely be happy to meet any character you bring in, then gossip about them. A PC boggan would likely be welcome depending on their niche and are often seen as 'non threatening' ...which is not a challenge or a gauntlet cast, just how it is 😛

There are far less nockers. Sunny, who appears infrequently is a grump. She works needle and thread. Magdelaine SHOULD be more known, poor gal is essentially a daughter to Vali and Tiffany, but appears mostly for guns and explosion moments . Still, she's a young wilder and probably the best known one here minus visitors.

Of Satyrs we sing... well, Piper sings. The professor teaches, and woos his upperclassman. Not the only academic, a frequent visitor from Rutgers also drops by. Zane makes special guest appearances. And the sisters at the apartments are seldom in play, but there is bold Jack Flap, hero of the garden, Friend to Lord HOwlett!

And who are we to protest the mighty Centaur? In this, only one remains regularly, Layne, a childling! She just met you and she's your friend already! Then there is the sometimes view of Dame Tiara(Tara), who is part of Joust Club but more tied to CF

If you want to play a big character but NOT a troll, well, Centaurs might be your jam

(ALso home made by our own Rae)

Redcaps RULE! Okay, they don't rule. Ruling is stupid, but they're awesome! Ask Dirk, who is TOTALLY NOT SEELIE.! The Peacemaker Peacekeeper (He uses both titles) of RIvervale has become a force of 'Not Evil' , which is one of the highest goals you can give a redcap really. Originally a dumb brute kid NPC, he has become a philosophical brute wilder! Swila, a fat childling who is getting real tired of the ST talking about her weight all the time, is new, but seems to have layers. Then there's another WIlder capete who is happy to hang with goldfinch

If you make a Redcap, prepare to be disappointment if you plan to terrorize the innocent, break the helpless, eat human flesh and OTHER fun things because trolls are fascist like that 😉

Piskies are semi Nomadic. So they can certainly settle in. Currently Timmy Jimmy what's his name is the senior member, though aa wilder, but he also goes to Rutgers, currently he's living in the closet of Dagmar and Symon's place but they haven't noticed him yet. It saves him on rent! Okay, he's not doing that, but he's a decent fellow with a curse of being easy to ignore far beyond most of his kith. Then there is Serenity, our new fledge ... a former youtube star GLAD not to be in the limelight. Does she have siblings ready to burst? WHo knows. There are one or two in the barony, of course, but I've forgotten even more about them. Can't hbe too many, not enough things go missing!

There are no such thing as Pooka, sorry to say. No lying pranksters here, Not Tiffany the firefighting wife of Vali, nor Otto, the sad echo of a better pup, nor even a faithful squire and secret member of the Shadowpaw! You saw NOTHING

But if you have the energy, they're a fun kith to play

Did I forget the Clurichaun? I shouldn't, it's not like they're Piskies. Only one or two minor NPCs in the area claim this collectable. So minor that I can't think of their names right now.

Eshu are wonderful, and rare, and gone again, but if you think you can manage it, remember they can come from a lot of stock, arabian knights, Rom travelers, bikers of the road, etc. Good news about an Eshu as a back up, they can always just 'show up' at the right time.

The good news about Clurichaun and Eshu is you will stand out.

At least in THIS crowd

Selkies are no, can I interest you in a Nice River Hag?

Seriously the poor bastards need the shore and even the Jersey shore is too far off. Foam tried

Swanmays depress the story teller. All is doomed love with them to the point I need a strong drink

There are a few more, a Witchtel might fit the 'tough gal from Jersey' stereotype
