Twilight Faction

"[The Twilight Faction is] the edgy, rebellious teenager of the lupion family. And we'll tell you that without hesitation."

- Connie Arrna

The Twilight Faction (alternatively the Twilight Clan or, in High lupion circles, Twilight Raiders) are a nomadic "clan" of lupions who range across the central United States. Rather than fully integrating into human society or taking refuge in a niche, they travel from one hidden camp to another, living off the land as best they can.

The Twilight Faction is composed of a variety of individuals and families separated, sometimes banished, from their home villages or clans; as well as their descendants. It is considered to be the "middle ground" between High and Low lupions, and is generally viewed with suspicion by both. Its population currently fluctuates between about 30 and 70; numbers have been dwindling as surviving only on natural resources has become less viable.

Faction members are identified by a special tattoo, usually on the upper right arm, depicting the Faction's symbol. This tattoo shows both in a member's natural form and in their human form.

Society
Due to the history of many of its members, the Twilight Faction as a whole has abandoned many lupion ideals and traditions. Individuals may adhere more or less to them. Most embrace a more "modern" appearance than even their integrated counterparts, and can fit seamlessly in human communities. Many do eventually fully integrate.

The community is led by a "chief", currently Chief Harron Winn, whose main role is to plot the logistics of the Faction. A bare-bones legal code is in place (i.e., "don't kill people"), but in general, individualism reigns supreme.
