Sometimes some really neat stuff pops up out of nowhere on forums. In a Sla Industries discussion somebody who evidently worked on Vampire: The Requiem offered up the origin of the Strix in exchange for insider info on the new Sla Industries truth stuff.
So far the Strix origin has been offered up but not the Sla info. Anyways so here is your Strix origins:
You ask the wolves, they'll tell you humans don't have any spirits besides our own souls. Spider spirits, rat spirits, no human ones.
That's because we scared them off.
In ancient times, humans were all action. We hunted, we gathered, we fought. We were smart, yet, but we lived in the moment. And our spirits liked it that way.
But then we got our shit together. We learned how to harness fire, we learned to believe in things. They didn't like that. So our hearths drove them back, our religions tormented them, and the sun our crops grew by paralyzed them.
The Strix... they could have been us. But we went our own way.
Kind of interesting, definitely explains them a bit more. May have to steal the base of this idea for other games I run. I'll update IF they ever cough up the Sla info which I doubt they will do.
