@Ganymede What shocks me is goats. Man! On Crete I've seen goats walk up places where I can swear the slope is basically vertical to the ground. No shits given, these fuckers just go up there like it's a nice stroll.
They can't eat you alive if they decide to, though. I dunno, maybe they just haven't decided to yet because otherwise they are badass.
Dude, check out this video, and tell me if you want to go waltzing around the mountains.

Wow. I like how he (she?) stopped in mid-hunt for some kitty things. "Let's lay down on my back and stretch while rubbing this stupid collar on the ground before I go cut a bitch".
@Ganymede That is easily one of the most amazing predators ever. I love leopards.
And this is why Bastet were always more popular than any incarnation of Werewolf.
Also not having to rely on a pack, but lots this too.
I played Corax. 
Also I am loving my knitting with scales project.
@HelloRaptor I thought it was because cats are sluts.
As someone who enjoys playing Bastet when he can find a place to do it, they're not just sluts:
They're also jerks.
Imagine those guys, but with sorcery and agg-dealing claws.
I liked Ratkin and Nagah and Ajaba the best.
But if you really wanted a reason to run around trying to fuck everybody, you wanted to play a Rokea. Weresharks, in the Breedbook, are specifically said to function on a "eat, breed, survive" schedule, and the book even mentions that when Rokea take human form, they're typically horny 24/7 and want to bannnnnnnnnnnng.

I was (and am) such a sucker for Nagah. Nagah ftw, people. >>
Emotionally distant ninja assassins with scales and portable Umbral dens. What's not to love?
They aren't cute and fuzzy like Bastet.
Now I want to make a Khan named "Hobbes."

I wanted to make a Sin-Eater Prey named Calvin whose Geist appeared as an anthropomorphic tiger who Calvin just resignedly called Hobbes.

@Coin If you do this you need to find a way to include the transmogrifier.
But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?

Don't Sin-Eaters have a talisman thing that uses their power system?
Phantasmal Caul, right?

Those two things are absolutely different?
Keystone is what links them to their Geist.
Phantasmal Caul is a specific Key + Manifestation combination that lets you do minor shapeshifting and then some more esoteric, eldritch shapeshifting that drives people insane.

@Coin I know very, very little about Geists. I can count on one appendage the number of times I played one but it wasn't within the last two years.

Sin-Eater is the PC. Geist is the special ghost they're bound to.
This post has been made by your friendly pedantic former Geist-sphere staffer with a peeve. Why the fuck didn't White Wolf call the damn game "Sin-Eater" to begin with?
@Arkandel Because WW is fucking stupid when it comes to their naming convention. They mix Greek, Latin, and French words up into a single lexicon, because the game designed for Americans to play tragic-goth trenchcoat holders needs shit like that.

And nobody in America gives a fuck since our language is like Jack the Ripper to all you foreign whore-languages.
We do however give a fuck when they don't stick to <Creature Type>: The <Thing About Creature Type>. Vampire: The Requiem, Werewolf: The Forsaken, Mage: The Awakening, Promethean: The Created. Even Changeling: The Lost.
But no, Geist has to be ass backwards, because fuck Geist.
