Kuan-jin2: War without Mercy

Prague, 3. 11. 2002 - 28. 11. 2002


Kuan-jin is a Live-Action-Role-Playing Game, which took place in Prague already for the second time and was organized by Ivana "Branwen" Kuglerová with Sombra's help. The players wear the Egyptian sign Ankh, which indicates who takes part in the game. For the time of four weeks each of the players represents a character (a vampire, a shape-shifter, a policeman, a drug-dealer...) and whenever two players meet in their everyday life, they talk to each other and act like these characters.

Prague has been ruled by the powerful Five, the creatures who gained the magic statue of Kuan-jin, the goddess of mercy. They were: Rhían, the former Mistress of vampire-hunters (Andrea Morávková), Merlin the mage (Petr Jonák), Darion, a vampire from clan Fomoir (Martin Antonín), don Samiel Domingo, a vampire from clan Navarro (Jan Petránek) and the woman whom both Samiel and Darion loved - seňorita Ratoncita Valiente, a Navarro-vampire (Petra "Reinita" Lukačovičová). They had the goddess's blessing and power to prevent any struggle and blood-shed in the city.
But one night Darion was found dead, his blood drained from his body, and the magic statue was stolen from him. The war rages again in the streets of Prague: vampire-clan Navarro against clan Fomoir and clan SS, drug-dealers of Yakuza against gangsters of Ice House and the Dirty-ones, Greshem the technocrat seeks and destroys all the other mages, dragons spread their wings and breath fire, the streets echo the howls of werewolves, the light of lamps glitters on the swords of vampire-hunters and the guns of policemen, the catholic church tries to assassinate the pagan priestess of mother-goddess Gaia, the Guardian Spirit of Prague desperately searches for The Chosen-one, Lady Death laughs in her gloomy halls, some vampires lose their sanity and willpower and in their madness they drink other vampires' blood, the devil Mephisto makes his business... and a far greater evil stalks the streets - the Phantom of Prague, a demon that kills by fear and feeds on souls of living and undead alike.
