(2007-2008)
Found bloodied and retching in the bushes outside of a suburban home by Chris Moorehead, Riley Larson was taken back to the Glasswalker safehouse after a quick survey of the home confirmed that he'd just firsted.
Slow to fit in, Riley was insecure and hesitant for the first several weeks of his cubhood, until forming a close bond with Dagny Eriksen, Cael Rutherford, and Matt Spackleheimer and joining the ranks of the proto-pack Mischief. After opening up some, Riley was revealed to be an often light-hearted joker amidst his friends, but showed the typical ragabash disdain for the Garou ranking structure, leading to many altercations between himself and Chris Moorehead. His mouth got him into trouble constantly, and during one tense evening, resulted in him being subsequently shot in the knee (He is no longer an adventurer like you) with a silver bullet by Chris, putting a strain on any further interaction between the two.
In late March of 2008, he was sent upon his Rite of Passage along with fellow Mischief packmate Ishmael Chavez, where the two were tasked to remove the taint from both the physical world and clear the bane that was tainting it from the Umbra. They were successful, and Riley was granted the deedname Stares-Down-Death-To-Evacuate-The-Fallen - which was summarily shortened with the nickname, 'Evac' in honor of their harrowing near-escape from a swarm of furious weaver spirits.
His promising, if slightly defiant beginnings hit a rough halt when close friend Cael Rutherford was slain in an attack by Black Spiral Dancers before his very eyes. Unable to detach himself from the guilt of having been so close and being able to do so little, his humor soured, his bitterness and anger coming to the forefront more and more. His condition did not improve with time - it worsened, sending him to the very depths of Harano. Despite the efforts of close friends Dagny and Ishmael and the sympathetic tribe alpha, Mouse, he showed no signs of coming out of this severely depressed state. In desparation, Mouse decided that her best course of action was to send the ailing Cliath away until he got his act together, flying him out to stay in New York City, where he remained for the next three years.
(2012- ? )
When Riley stepped off of that late-arriving Greyhound bus, he was changed. New York had been a positive experience for him. In addition to finally shaking his crippling depression, the additional years immersed in Garou society had toughened him, thoroughly quashing his tendency for teen angst. As a result, he returned both a warmer and more committed Garou - even if there was little to be done for his occasionally sarcastic wit.
Shortly after he'd settled in, he was approached by Slug, who had once served as friend and weapon teacher to him in the form of Basil. Slug was putting together a group to pack up and seek the graces of Cockroach, including Ishmael Chavez, himself, and Cheese Doodle. Pleased at the opportunity to pack up with some of his old friends, Riley swiftly agreed. After a totem quest which sent them far into the Umbra to cleanse a tainted village, they attracted the attention of Kyril, a Peregrine Falcon, and the pack Skyline was formed - with the exception of Cheese Doodle, who was heartbroken that they had not managed to receive the blessings of Cockroach and could not bring herself to pack under another. To make it up to Riley, she offered to teach him a Gift. The two began to hang out more, becoming closer friends.
(Insert important gender-related Feb Revel stuff here)
In Harbor Park, Riley met Val, a corax and an invaluable source of information. Val soon tipped her off to the tainted Plasticorp building on the outskirts of town. Through the deception of a shapeshifter assuming the form of a trusted Kitsune, Riley (sans liver), ended up having to sit out for the final battle, a point of particular frustration for her. Nevertheless, the threat of Plasticorp was seen to.
Val's next tip for Riley involved a series of grisly murders that was being performed by a werewolf - though Riley sorely hoped it was the work of a Spiral, the method of the killing and physical description pointed back to a less savory answer: One of their own, a Red Talon. Val provided him with a hair sample, and Riley hit the street, visiting the scenes of the crimes in an effort to try to turn up more on the killer's identity, but to no avail. Just as the case was starting to feel cold, Val received a tip that Little Silvertip, the sept Alpha, had uncovered the identity of the killer. Riley rushed at the opportunity to find out more, and sought out Little Silvertip immediately.
After a less-than-courteous sharing of information, Riley ended up empty handed and furious at the idea that justice wasn't being done. Fearing more murders to be a certainty, he sent out a mass E-mail to the Glass Walkers to set up regular patrols, but instead received an immediate reply that gave her exactly the information he needed. Jack, a philodox, revealed that not only did he know the name of the killer, but he would assist Riley in bringing her to justice. They left immediately, using the name, hair sample, and the Rite of Questing Stone to track the Red Talon Finds Death down to the deep woods. When they caught up with her, the girl was remorseless, her reasons for the wholesale murder of entire families insufficient for Riley to accept. Seeing Finds Death as too great a threat to the area's humans to leave alive, Riley executed her.
