Whether they are a homid who simply cannot get used to the idea of scent as an identity marker, a crinos-born immersing themselves in the only culture they are allowed to be a part of, or a lupus exploring the use of communication previously unknown to them, using glyphs to signify an individual can have a range of use. Aside of attributing renown or scandal, glyph-names might be used to denote ownership, reinforce rituals or pacts, or simply provide a Garou with a greater sense of belonging and presence in their culture.
This section includes the name of individual characters, packs, and septs.
Text in "quotations" is the description or comments from the [glyph's designer] or request submitter.

"Seriously, I just thought this looked cool and that was the perfect way to represent the character. The glyph replaces the top and bottom marks of Honor with Fire. So, now it's a full moon, emanating light, bathed in flame."

"Klaive or sword altered to a twisted blade. This also doubles in resembling a meat-hook, which was the character's first weapon."

[Feral Noesis]Blue-Howl
'Howl' + 'Time/always' + 'hunger' + 'air'

"So named for howls so long that he'd be starving for air, thus blue in the face."

"So named for howls so long that he'd be starving for air, thus blue in the face."
'Life' over 'metal' with emphatics from 'wolf' overlaid
"A glyph designed for a rather renowned blacksmith who helped to create many a powerful weapons and fetishes with my longest lasting character. Though his skill in a forge stands nigh unchallenged, his reputation for everything else is rather marred, and he has poor standing as a result. The wolf emphatics are used to represent the act of imbuing the metal with life is done by the garou's hands."

"I took the structure for Caern, which is Earth with Spirit, and replaced the Earth element with Travel. The emphatics on Travel show it being swift, thus Sprinting."
"This is less translation glyph as it's meant to evoke an image. In this case, it's supposed to resemble someone holding up their arms in a victory gesture while haloed in light. The arms were made with the wing marks from Falcon, which has significance for the character."
'Chase/Pursuit' + 'Dream'
"Chases-the-Dream is a Homid Galliard of Older Brother, and a member of the Indigenous Yamani Maidu tribe of California, who devotedly visits the elders of California's dwindling native tribes, collecting their stories and traditional songs, and advocating for the preservation of their languages before they are lost to time."

Dead Drop
[Feral Noesis]Dead Drop
Composed of 'hidden/conceal', 'new moon/trickery', 'help', and the 'creator' emphatics that are often used to denote a personal name
Homid (Bitten) Ragabash Glass Walker.
"Hidden help and the discreet exchange of it. Dead Drop is the name they earned from their Fostern challenge, and this glyphname also works for their word-play Cliath name, which also serves as their general human-world name, Aidan Abbett."

Echoing Tides
[Feral Noesis]Echoing Tides
Composed of 'time', the root shape found in 'story'/'howl/song'/'wisdom',the shape used in 'moot/gathering'/'the nation'/'legends/legendary',the glyph for 'cycle/recurrence' flanked by the glyphs for 'water'
Theurge Silver Fang (Unbreakable Hearth).
"Taking all of these elements together, we can illustrate the narrative of how a droplet (the modifier attached to the song/wisdom glyph; possibly connotative of the individual) winds down through the ages, making a 'splash' in the Nation, which 'echoes' out in legends. Taking the theme of echoing, we could infer that the legends, deeds, songs, and wisdom all returns back to the source in a tidal manner; flowing back and forth in turn. In this way, Echoing Tides' name expresses her connection to her ancestors and Pure Breed, and as well as her particular bloodline's affinity for allegories involving water. The almost-symmetrical shape suggests her vanity and sense of aesthetic, balanced and counter-parted in nature, rather than the artificial, homogenous mirror of the Weaver's sense of perfection."

"I built this from the glyph for "snake/serpent/nagah" but rotated and with the long fangs removed, overlaid with the rolling wave from "Through Hell and High Water" rather than the normal glyph for water, then added the glyph for magic between the water and the head of the eel, and crowned the eel with "owl".
Eel is a complicated Kinfolk shamaness with a complicated history. She is an Awakened mage, a Dreamspeaker, whose personal patron spirit is Owl, and she was born to the Black Spiral Dancers but rebelled and found a home and new family among Older Brother.
"The Kin Shamaness's handle "Eel" began as a nickname rather than a true deed-name, from long before her Awakening, but her new tribe deems it highly appropriate because she is a devious and adaptable woman who has always metaphorically swum through troubled waters. Also, her Avatar, only ever dimly seen in the deep and dark waters and fog of her dreams and visions, is deeply Primordial and seems to be some sort of enormous water serpent that speaks to her with a low and ominous voice.
This glyph is itself actually a story. In part of the near-death experience vision-quest of her Awakening, she had drowned in a deep dark ocean into which she had fallen, but a mysterious serpent took her in its coils and hauled her up to the surface and air, revived her, and counseled her to call for help. She found a light within herself, cupped it in her hand and held it aloft as a beacon, and when she did, Owl swooped out of the clouds and pulled her from the turbulent water. Once she had sealed her oath to Owl, he put his own wings on her back and taught her to fly back to her own body.""

Entwines-Smiles-with-Claws
[Feral Noesis] Entwines-Smiles-with-Claws
'Claw' and 'Rage' + 'Put together/join/build' to entwine them beneath a smile of 'Friend/ally' + 'Children of Gaia' emphatics that typically denote people or many, or in this case, an abundance of smiles + 'Gaia' inverted into an 'Umbra' reflection to imply double meanings to the smile, teeth bared in threat as well as friendship + 'blood/heart' emphatic of grinning and bearing it through violence and heartache + 'Create/creator' for the 'I am' denoting a name or self
Homid Ahroun Child of Gaia.
This glyphname was a commission made for Nicholas Walker of St. Pete By Night's Rage Across Tampa
"He puts on the face of unicorn (unity, cooperation, acceptance, healing, etc.) while keeping that blistering Garou seething just below the surface. And, as an Ahroun, he needs to command that Black Unicorn flair more often than his other Children of Gaia allies, so he'll smile wide when making a rapport or tearing faces. Hence the deed name: Entwines-Smiles-with-Claws."

'Cycle/Reoccurrence' + the upper half of 'A World on Fire', which I interpreted to mean on fire or burning, and thus preferable to the glyph for fire itself.
"Ever-Burning is a Homid Silver Fang Ahroun. Ever-Burning received this deed name after defeating a massive Furmling residing in the Centralia Mine Fire in Pennsylvania that had killed her grandfather and left his klaive apparently lost. She succeeded in avenging her grandfather and retrieving his Klaive, but the ordeal was so severe that she was the sole survivor of her pack, left with serious burn scars, and with deep scars on her soul as well, hence her new deed-name."

'Awareness' overlaid with 'darkness'Another fabricated 'wisdom' to make it work for aesthetics
"This one is a long standing character of my brother that has been dropped into quite a few chronicles. He earned his current deed name in the abyss where he saved the pack by leading them through the darkness. The glyph shares a few stylistic elements with the glyph for the Abyss. The name stuck after the adventure and proved more fitting when he became a mentor over his sept."

'Rage' is the center piece. The surrounding glyph is a modification of 'Vampire' to show consumption or devouring.

"Jenna "Follower of the Lost Howl" Maine, Glyph consists of the Glyphs "Bastet, Memory, Howl, Pain, Recovery, Stealth"."
"Gun mirrored and modified to bulge in the middle. This is for an iconic character from the Chicago setting who has ridiculously over-developed arm muscles."
'Cold' overlaid the lower portion of 'storm'
"Being a Silver Fang, this one didn't have a deed name. Instead Hail-Storm stands in as his family name."
"Being a Silver Fang, this one didn't have a deed name. Instead Hail-Storm stands in as his family name."
"The glyphs are definitely more emphatic than straight forward. The main glyph is Honor with the center piece changed from the Ahroun/Luna glyph to the Philodox glyph, and the ends turned down to make it look more like a 'hammer head'. Then the bottom piece of Klaive is used, to complete the 'Weapon' look."
"Apis modified by part of Wolf. The character is a Crinos-born with the horns deformity, so this glyph is more about representing how he looks than his deed-name."
He-Arrives-At-Night
[Feral Noesis]He-Arrives-At-Night
'Kinfolk' + 'Help' (replacing the 'Homid' component of Kinfolk) 'Road/Travel' + 'Night' (beneath its usual placement to denote that it's deep into the event, and thus quite late)
Homid Philodox Older Brother.
This glyphname was made for a Quest: Take Action! submission donating to Apache Stronghold #SaveOakFlat
"They earned it by arriving late to their Rite of Passage, but also when they arrived they brought their entire Kinfolk family loaded up with firearms and put down the whole brood of fomori while the rest of the pack attacked the bane nest they were being birthed from."

'Convalescence/Regeneration' + 'Friend/Ally' (which when put together becomes a modified glyph for Love that would basically mean 'restoring love') 'Repair/Mend' + Action emphatic + 'Rain' + 'Gaia'
Homid Theurge Child of Gaia.
"Member of the Sons of the Dawn."
Homid Theurge Child of Gaia.
"Member of the Sons of the Dawn."
'Love' surrounded by an inverted 'star' or 'light'
"The glyph is that of a prestigious Judge of Doom from the Russian Terror, a pack-mate of Silent-Trail. He had another deed name before this, but he forsakes it after completing a test to become a Judge. He joined with his own Moonshadow and forsakes taking a mate, seeing his emotion as only an obstacle to true impartiality.
Though there is a glyph for darkness, I inverted 'light' to show how the characters actions seem to drain the light, therefore cancel it out with his deeds to forsake love."

Homid Theurge Black Fury.
This glyphname was made for a Quest: Take Action! submission donating to Rainbow Railroad
"Literal and metaphorical, she has an affinity for storm spirits, and has been the catalyst for changes in other's lives.
She was a trans woman thrown together with a group of men in the Canadian Rockies during winter. They were harried through the wilderness with few supplies and she found herself having to put others in their place and help them with an attitude adjustment for not respecting her as part of the pack.
During the climax she went toe to toe with one of her superiors in a localized blizzard that she helped call and seemed to move as if she was part of."

'Air' atop 'mountain'
"This one is for one of the more accomplished cannon Stargazers character. Most Stargazers seem to have an attitude of simplicity in all things, as a meditation to return to the state of all as one. I would think they're names and personal glyphs are structured in much the same way. Of course claiming something as THEIR glyph seems to counter their attitude of non-possession as well."

"Iron Rain is a Homid Glass Walker Philodox and an avowed gun nut."
"kind one stumped me for a while. while there are glyphs for [therapy] thats kind of a uniquely glass walkery concept and glyph and ben does a lot more than just physical therapy, as a veterinarian and healer. so instead i opted to combine [help] [fix] and [friend] into something a little aesthetically pleasing to indicate that ben is someone renowned for doing all these things with grace. "
"somewhat like harper, jj’s name of knife-to-meet-you is a quote or phrase, but rendered as [lots of laughing] [knife] [blood/bleeding]. you can’t really make an english pun using pictograms like this so thats a fun extra to an english speaker i guess?? someone who didnt know jj by spoken name would interpret this to maybe mean he-who-greets-with-knives or something. scary."
Crinos-born Bone Gnawer.
"This is for a Bone Gnawer Crinos-born with the Bad odor flaw. It's supposed to resemble a Shadow Lord Glyph because he doesn't like them and the Glyph can also resemble an insult (Shadow Lords Stink), however it's distinctly different to avoid looking like he's claiming to be a Shadow Lord. The 'seize' lines are thinner and this Crinos-born only has four claws to each paw."

'Quest' + 'honour' + 'death' + 'metal' + 'monster' + 'put together'
"Even if the glyph reads 'put together', 'mender' in the name is more accurate due to the background (compare with 'quest'). The glyph of 'honour' is to emphasize the importance."

'Luna' encicled by 'star' and flanked by 'fangs' which is used to denote a house among Silver Fangs
"This character doesn't have a traditional deed name. Most Silver Fangs don't. He has a rather normal human name, and his surname is derived from a family under House Austere Howl, and is hyphenated with his mother's family name.
The fact it looks like a targeting receptacle was a happy coincidence after I found out this guy went kind of Punisher."

'Dark' (night) + 'Hunter' (one 'scratch' above the Hunt for 'master' to create Hunter) + four 'scratches' in corners to describe 'deed name'
Homid Ahroun Glass Walker.
"His original deed name was ‘Hunter-of-the-Night’ as translation of the names from Latin as well as from the hunting behavior at his rite of passage. (Garou named D. Venator (trans: Hunter) had chased and kill a BSD named Nox (trans: Night) keeping his skull as a souvenir.)
After the violation of the 1st law of the Litany his deed name was reversed to ‘Night-of-the-Hunter’ as a disgrace of his. Now, the night/darkness is representing the dishonor and the shame of this hunter."

"one-shot-one-kill is where i decided to start playing with the idea that name-glyphs dont have to be literal since they represent deeds and a lot of uncommon glyphs are proprietary and symbolic in nature anyway. harper’s name refers to an event but is physically written as [brutalize/no mercy/excessive force] [vampire], referring back to the time she smacked a 10th gen tremere so hard she burst into ludicrous gibs. hence the spoken name, but the glyph is an illustration of what exactly happened!"
Modified 'fangs' flanking the lower portion of 'stone'
"There is no real glyph for 'pearl' so I had to think what a wolf would regard a pearl as. In a simple sense, most would regard a pearl as just another stone, I thought. I was tempted to modify stone with something to register 'precious', but I felt the aesthetics of the glyph as is still flowed with the intuitive feel of the glyph language.
When I designed this, the player of the character hadn't told me the origins of the name or if he had any other names. So, I just made a glyph based on the name and what I had seen of how he was played, which was fairly straight-forward and simple. Not to say stupid, just no mind for unnecessary complexity."

'Vampire' flanked by the outside emphatics from 'rival' with 'fangs' on the undersideThe 'rival' emphatics are supposed to show the conflict inherent in his nature
"He is a prolific vampire hunter out of the Boston area. The 'rival' glyph is has more connotations to him than just the enmity towards vampires. After many disputes with the Nation and his tribe, to include his choice in friends and preference for guns over claws, has led to a reputation of someone who makes it difficult to get along with. Actually, I think he prefers it that way."

"Born in Cardiff, South Wales, and shaped by the Fianna, this Garou’s childhood was marked by disability, and they came close to death before their First Change. That brush with the edge left more than physical scars; it cast a long shadow, and the depression that followed has never truly left. But still, they fight. They fight for each sunrise, for each breath, for the hope that even in darkness there is purpose. Survival is their defiance, and every step forward is an act of courage - the quiet, stubborn kind that never makes a song of itself, but never stops.
Their deed name "Seeks-Mirth-Weary" comes from not giving up, embodying that fight, and saying "I'm not going to let my own darkness claim me"."

"Another evocation glyph since all these marks have nothing to do with what they represent but instead to make an image. Here, Lightning frames two long marks, creating an image like the lower-half of a skull filled with sharp fangs."
"I took 'Storm' and 'Story', and extended the two fangs at the side from the 'story' to the sides. I really like this one, as the 'spirit' part looks like a shield from the impending storm."
'Trail' with a modified 'conceal' overhead, the lower emphatic extended to connect the three portions as 'iron' as well, a modified 'hunger' split by 'iron' underneath the 'trail'
"This one is character of mine from a Russian Terror game. He was a lupus born and as such had two names: one from his family, the other his deed name. After his right of passage, they were combined into one long deed name, and so his glyph became complicated. He was stealthy to the point of leaving almost no trail and had a merit that made his bite more powerful."

After his right of passage, they were combined into one long deed name, and so his glyph became complicated. He was stealthy to the point of leaving almost no trail and had a merit that made his bite more powerful."
Half the 'wolf' overlaid onto 'snow'
"This character never had a proper Rite-of-Passage. He was a cub at the Sept of the Snow Leopard at the time of its fall. After he wandered into another near-by caern, the elders deemed the surviving the ordeal free of the Wyrm's touch was more of a test than any quest they could lay as his Rite-of-Passage. Thus his deed name honors the fallen caern and his breed."

'Lightning' overlaid with a reversed 'weak'
"This guy is a nearly legendary warrior in a long standing chronicle with a large circle of friends. The name is interpretive more-so than my other designs because of some of the implied messages that go with it. The reversed 'weak' is a simple claw swipe, and I felt worked because of the characters views on weakness just as much as it stands for 'strike'. The 'lightning' was the closest to fast that I could figure from the glyph language."

"That particular glyph was also designed with an additional element in mind, with the two diagonal claw-marks representing the defeat of two powerful servants of the tainted storm spirit. It was a mark of honour for my PC after defeating ancient enemies of his Caern's totem."
Honour mark.

'Wisdom' overlapping 'war' at the bottom emphatic
"The character this was done for was a prominent Ahroun. More than his pure-breed and combat prowess was his wisdom. The elders recognized early on that he preferred to think his way out of problems than blindly smashing through them. Unfortunately, this is a rare strength for his moon."

"Ah, poor, poor Randy. He actually had quite a hook as a character. He was trying to change how the Garou Nation organized itself in an effort to make the victory over the Wyrm more important by removing a lot of rank politics. It was an admirable goal, but too radical. He was killed for his views in the end. This glyph marks his 'tomb' as a reminder to others."

"with-many-shadows was an easy one as well. write [shadow] and amplify it with additional slashes to create even more impressions of shadows being cast from the source. the thin curving lines were kind of a reach for me but i think they added a lot to make the symbol feel powerful instead of just a weird spiky shape... you see them in [black spiral dancer] and [fetish] and [thunder] to indicate some kind of imperceptible forces. if the lines were thicker, they could look like some of the strokes in [fire] [bane] [aetherial realm] and so on. so... that is just how i interpreted them!!"

[Dragos]Dragonfire Vanguard
"A blend of different fire glyphs (Fire Element, Fire in the Head and Heart), over the Mokolé/Dragon glyph, then Defiance and Resilient Glyphs to represent the Vanguard, as they are the first and usually strongest to defy the enemy. "
Dragonfire Vanguard is a Pack of the Hearthfire Sept.
"The Dragonfire Vanguard is an Elder Pack which gained its origin in a Quest to the Legendary Realm, where upon they had met with an untainted representation of Dragon. Although Dragon as a Patron has been touched by the Wyrm, this aspect was presented as the untouched and legend upon which Dragon was borne. Dragonfire was used to help with the forging of a unique Grand Klaive, but ended up having the residual effect of bonding the packmates under the flames. The Grand Klaive that was forged, used by their pack leader, was used to Fight and Win against a Thunderwyrm that threatened multiple septs. It was sung that the battle was eruptions of purifying flames that seared the Thunderwyrm. In the wake of the battle, they had been called "The Vanguard of Dragon's Fire" who fought first and saw it through. Their name is a nod to that howl in victory, and respect for the allies they had lost in that battle."

'Gun' + 'Danger'
"The Hang Fire pack, which was an antagonist in my Chronicle. This is a mixed pack of extremist Shadow Lords and Glass Walkers, the pack's Walkers being drawn from the Dies Ultimae camp. The pack has ties with militias, gun runners, and cartels, and is heavily armed, which is how their pack patron St. Michael (an aspect of Clashing Boom Boom) likes it. The Eye of the Storm broke their gun running network and brought them to heel for trying to use false flag operations to provoke a civil war in the Glittering Dreams Sept that would make room for them to eliminate rivals and gain positions of authority. Most of Hang Fire survived, and faced serious consequences for their actions."
