CHARACTERS
People don't like to talk about the characters they've created. They think people will take the out of game knowledge and bring it in game, which is technically called cheating. Because people don't like to talk about their characters, I think I might just talk about...stuff...and a little about my character(s). If I LARP with any of you guys who are reading, this...please don't bring this in game.
Dark Dominions:
This character was
terminated due to the reboot:
In Dark Dominions, I play a
Toreador (the name of a Clan) named Victoria (how original I am).
She was Primogen of clan Toreador (which is like the head) until
my friend Hank's character made a large boo boo which caused the
Prince (like the mayor) of the city to become enraged...and strip
all of us of our status and give us the negative status trait
"worthless." She is having quarrels with a man named
Marcus who tried to "take care of her" so he would
obtain the position...which didn't work. Victoria is basically
the kind of person I would like to be if I were a tight-ass,
confident bitch...I like the confidence and sophistication of
her. She is a doctor and knows what she talks about. The story
takes place on an Island that doesn't exist...and things are
relatively quiet except for strange explosions, earthquakes, and
mysteries.BUT there are police, National Security, and
investigators wandering around because of strange
occurrences...it's all a mess right about now. I can't remember.
Character (#1) in the new
run...also terminated due to reboot:
Rachael, a wraith. Her background is still a little sketchy.
Since the run takes place in Alaska, I have decided to have her
be a native - an eskimo, or Inuit. She was killed when she was
19, that was two years ago, by a polar bear. She therefore has a
phobia of polar bears, even in death. She practiced magic during
her lifetime in Alaska and one of her prized possessions is a
necklace she was buried with. It was supposedly her lucky charm.
She also loved to go into Jake's store, that was known for their
magic supplies. Jake, the owner, only a few years older, was in
love with her. She never noticed. He can still see her spirit
haunting the town. It's amazing to realize that ghosts can
die...because Rachael is no more. She was tossed into the tempus
by Greg Buckley's character who was taken over by his shadow.
The war between us and the technocrats is over. We killed lots of them and the rest have fled. yay.
When the technocrats ran rampant, plotting their evil ... plots, people were seen recording data of the wraiths they see (some have special capabilities or through a special video camera). The technocracy are people that don't believe at all in the supernatural, even though they are supernatural creatures themselves. They plan to find all supernatural creatures and capture them and experiment on them, and eventually kill them.
Now that Rachael is dead, I made another character, Sahar. She's an Eshu - a changling. A fairy. No, she's not gay, she's an actual fairy.
Character # 2 in the new run (see
above):
Her name is Sahr. She's an unceily fae. Eshu. The name actually
was an accident. I had originally forgotten to give her a name
after I created the character so when Hank's character asked me
what my name was, I turned to the closest non-gamer person in the
area and asked her what her name was. She said Sahr, and I nodded
and turned to Hank's character and replied "Sahr." Now
that the technocrats are gone ... and suddenly all the wraiths in
the area are missing ... the wonderful GMs have decided that the
fae should be the next in turn to be obliterated ... we have four
of us left ... and we're all unceily. Yay.
Character # 2 in the new(er) run:
And yet again, there has been anothe
reboot. I am a storyteller. Yay. Adam and I made up some great,
great plot this summer. Boy how I wish I could share it with you,
but i can't.
Setting: Las Vegas, Nevada. Circa 1995.
One problem with being a storyteller is that you have to stop what you're doing to run through scenes with people. They question my authority because a) i'm a girl and b) because they think i dont know that much about vampire. They're wrong. What i say goes. If they dont like it or question something, I say "fuck you, i'm a storyteller" or say "do you know my character? Do you know her stats? Then you don't know why she can do this." The otherproblem is that since you're constantly working the plot, you're switching from PC to NPC a lot. This doesn't leave much time for developing your PC.
NPC - Mara - part of a group called the Oculum Deis. The eyes of god. It's kind of a mix between the X-men and the talamasca. We watch, research, and report...and try not to get killed by all of the vampires in the area that think we're a threat. We interfere only when it is completely and utterly necessary.
PC - Julia - Brujah. DEAD People keep giving me shit because i have puissance. I used lots and lots of exp to get her to puissance. I really dont know very much about her and what her place is in the las vegas area. She's kinda goth and punky with a sort of bad attitude. She's a brujah. What else do you expect. Boy, that was stereotypical.
Ahrah plot has been ... taken care of. We move into something a little different now. It's different because i'm running it. Adam's going to be doing his own plot and i'm doing my own plot. Of course, i had some help along the way. Thanks.
Goose's run:
It takes place either in
North Hampton or Amherst. The great thing about it is that it is
in public; an actual town where there are "normal,"
every day people. There are rules (you will read about under the
Dark Dominions site) such as the Masquerade that we must abide
by, and so with normal people everywhere so...I guess it's easier
to slip into character and treat these rules we abide by as if
they actually existed. My character's name is Mona. She's a
caitiff (has no clan) who honestly thinks she belongs to clan
Toreador. She's into the Martial Arts and is basically a kick ass
character with a rather strong personality which can be
incredibly outgoing, but also forceful. You'd know about it.
She's very violent and not really into the politics and trading
of influences around town. Things are mostly "taken care
of" on the inside. It's not really something she enjoys. she
likes to beat things up and not stand around while everyone
attends meetings.
Orlando by Night (cancelled due to
the lack of interest by the GM)
It takes place in Orlando (duh). My character's name is Kazumi
Watanabe, AKA Kaz. She's Japanese and carries around a nice nice
gun, chopsticks that can be used as stakes, and rides a Kawasaki
Ninja motorcycle (enter Brandon enunciative here). Her Japanese
accent is fake ... just for kicks. She's a Toreador-antitribu
(that's bad, for all you non-gamers) and is currently joined with
a Sabbat back that's about 10 people large. That's really large.
We kill people, people in Disney costumes (It's Disney World!),
and just recently we went Trick or Treating. You have to
understand that the Sabbat version of Trick or Treating is
different from the traditional method children use today. We will
ring people's doorbells very late at night ... on a
night that is not Halloween. If the person looks puzzled and
gives us candy anyway, we say thank you and leave. If they don't
have candy or are rude, we play a trick on them. Since we are
vampires ... and we are evil (notice I made the distinction), we
don't merely leave flaming bags of poop or toilet paper their
house and car ... but rather take their car, light it on fire,
and drive it into their house, making one massive trick. Oh what
fun chaos can be.
Werewolf (cancelled due to
the lack of interest by the GM)
Judith. I think her nickname should be "Judith states the
obvious" because that's what she does. Since the run has
recently rebooted, there's nothing really juicy to report. Amanda
and I are in a pack called Uktena with Brandon and Brendan.
Brendan's a lupus and it's really great to watch him RP it out.
Brandon's the alpha...and boy is he an asshole. man oh man. I'm a
ragabash, uktena, rank 1 werewolf. I'm not sure if I like it yet.
I'm more of a vampire person, but ... you know... I guess i'm
open to new things. It seems really fun...once things pick up.
Rage n' Mage (cancelled for unknown reasons...most likely due
to the lack of interest by the GM)
Jesse. A caitiff vampire. She's a punk, filled with attitude.
She's a grad student at UMASS, never caring enough to go out and
find other vampires. A loner, a rebel. The one night she does,
she realizes vampires are a minority here while shapeshifters and
mages are predominant. She doesn't know a damn thing about these
creatures, so she tags along with them...until she discovers the
hard way that shapeshifters don't really like undead things. They
want to kill them, as a matter of fact. Meanwhile, there's
apparently a doppleganger wandering around, killing cops and
doing strange things that she gets blamed for. She almost gets
cut into pieces by some shapeshifters when the police arrest her
for murder. So...first night out...and things looking kinda glum.
Luckily within the last 10 minutes of the run I came across the
vampires...yeah that was great. But so far, things are going ok.
Unfortunately, I have to make my own fun because all the other
vampires are always off on their own adventures (also known as
plot).
