conversations.value: So long as there has been life there have been stories and fables of the other. Of helpful spirits, of playful watchers of the sea, of creatures too fearsome to behold. But they are no mere fable, as we found out when one hundred years ago the being known as Dracula demanded his kind an audience on the world stage.
  
  They were being hunted, he said, and were dying. The creatures of the dark, of the mists, would soon be extinct. Naturally such sentience and eloquence was enough to rouse the attention of world leaders and a solution was proposed by a Dr. Abraham Van Helsing which we now refer to as the Buren Act.
  
  They would be accorded segregated rights while examinations were underway to determine whether it was safe to have these other beings be reintegrated. Their own housing, employment, and benefits carefully supervised by carefully chosen specialists. All for the safety of mankind, of course.
  
  And how could Dracula protest? It was either these terms or the extinction of the fae, the werekin, the hundreds of thousands of others who lived along the other side of the world.
  
  Fast forward to 2018, and not very much has changed. Society is slowly coming to accept the existence of these "Buren", but they are still met with suspicion, scorn and sometimes outright persecution.
  
  You will be playing inhabitants of a Buren housing complex, either one of the many Buren themselves, one of their Hellsing minders, or a (required) human whose paperwork got mixed up and had them sent here. Of course the apartment complex was built over a graveyard which was dug into the heart of a leyline, so strange things happen all the time. Try to enjoy your lives and make do, whether it's through romance, friendships, or saving the world from squids from outer space.

conversations.value: The best place to get gossip or wash your underthings. Just like university, except the clothes are a little older.
conversations.prefix: The Laundry Room:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Through some machinations of nature you're mostly... something. You still walk on two legs, but maybe you have boar tusks or really hairy arms and sharp teeth. 
conversations.prefix: Werefolk:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A creature of the night, you're averse to sports but can often be found on the clubbing scene. Whether a master of seduction or a devilish fiend there's someone who wants to bang you, and that's truly frightening.
conversations.prefix: Vampire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Free folk, good friends, pictsies, or "those crazy elves" you can always be found doing some good or a little bad. Try not to punch people when they ask whether you can taste the rainbow.
conversations.prefix: The Good Folk:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: First impressions aren't always everything, because if they were you'd probably run screaming. 
conversations.prefix: The Lobby:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Running the whole gamut from teenage to great and terrible, you have a little tendency to cackle but aren't outright evil. Probably. 
conversations.prefix: Witches:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Nobody has any idea what you actually look like. You don't even know. But you're pretty damn good at charades, and that's the most important thing, right?
conversations.prefix: Mimic:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: An amalgamation of many things, but still your own creature. Encompasses Hippogriffs, Sphinxes, and the "classic" Chimera. Anyone who tries to call you an aberration will probably get eaten.
conversations.prefix: Chimera:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Born of the sea and bred of the sea, navigating the land isn't easy when you either lose your voice or use of your lower body. Still, you're staying plucky, and whether looking for love or making your way you'll have a blast.
conversations.prefix: Merpeople:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: This encompasses imps, succubi, and even full demons. You've got a wicked streak to you, but it's all fun and games when you're rolling with the devil! Just try not to sucker anybody into terrible deals...
conversations.prefix: Infernals:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're looking for romance within these walls! Whether with one of your own or someone else, you're looking for that special somebody to make life complete.
conversations.prefix: Find true love:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Ever since you were born you knew you wanted to help others, and be someone your family could be proud of. Now go out there and make us proud.
conversations.prefix: Be the Hero:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: All your life you've been bullied, bruised and beaten. But now it's your time in the sun. You'll make them eat humble pie or bring them down with you.
conversations.prefix: Make Them Pay:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Always human, specifically chosen and trained to keep the peace and enforce order. Maybe you're sympathetic, maybe you hate all Buren. Either way you're in charge here. [Limit of one Helsing player.]
conversations.prefix: Order of Helsing:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Honestly, you're not sure why you're here. It's probably a clerical mixup. Unfortunately, considering the housing office, you're probably stuck for a while...
conversations.prefix: Human:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Once your people were considered all-powerful. Now you're lucky if you can make your own wishes come true. Still, you persevere, and sometimes a little magic goes a long way.
conversations.prefix: Djinn:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Maybe it's to dust, wolfsbane, or sunlight. Whatever it is, you break out in hives or feel your throat get choked up. Please make sure you have your medicine around.
conversations.prefix: Allergy:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The superintendent of the building, a notoriously ornery man who doesn't like being bothered.
conversations.prefix: Alfred Costas, OoH Second Class:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You can see at least a little into the future, although sometimes it gives you a bit of a headache. Keep some Advil on hand just in case the mood strikes.
conversations.prefix: Oracle:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Whether natural or magical, you're pretty good at getting people to give you notice. A little wink, nudge, and maybe a word or two gets them on your good side.
conversations.prefix: Charm:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've read way too many books and know almost everything there is to know. If someone needs to fix a broken vending machine you can tell them the best way to go fuck themselves.
conversations.prefix: Wisdom:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You can turn into anything you can imagine! Try not to dream too big though or else everybody might not have an apartment to live in anymore...
conversations.prefix: Transformation:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Go on and introduce yourself to your neighbours! It's not like this could go badly... could it?
conversations.prefix: And So It Begins:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Bruised? Battered? Concussed even? No problem! You're durable as hell and can take most of what life throws at you. Well... except maybe jabs at your feelings.
conversations.prefix: Durable:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're not a people person, either because that's how you are or how life's made you become. Nobody's judging, don't worry.
conversations.prefix: Introverted:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You have an easy time flying off the handle, and you're more likely to get into fisticuffs than to talk things through.
conversations.prefix: Temperamental:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Whether it's because you're reedy or been enjoying a little too much junk food, you're not the fittest you could be
conversations.prefix: Unfit:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Maybe you're too loud, maybe you're too skeevy, maybe it's something else entirely. Either way something about you rubs others the wrong way.

conversations.value: You want everyone in the world to know your name, no matter what you have to do or where you want to go.
conversations.prefix: Become Famous:

conversations.prefix: Get Ahead:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You live in the complex but you're actually not a registered Buren. If you get caught, you will probably be arrested and who knows what might happen? So stay safe.
conversations.prefix: Illegal:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Try not to step on too many toes and get along with everybody. It'll do you good in the long run.
conversations.prefix: Be a Good Neighbour:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It's just a little conversation, right? "How's your day? How's the weather?"
conversations.prefix: Make Small Talk:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The keys to your room. Kind of important if you want to keep living here. Available for registered Buren only. Illegals have to figure out something else.
conversations.prefix: Access Key:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: Game Night!:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You are not the kind to stand heroically against all odds. In times of crisis, when all seems dark and only by your perseverance can victory be achieved, you're more likely to turn right around and save your skin.
conversations.prefix: Cowardly:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You might be a talented sorcerer, you might have potential and heck, you might grow to be the next Dark Lady one day. But for now, you are just a beginner in the dark art of witchcraft, and your spells have a tendency to mess up just a little.
conversations.prefix: Novice:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You want to increase your skill and knowledge, whether it be answers to lost riddles, or sufficient practice to pass your sorcery exams.

conversations.prefix: Resilient:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Sphinxes are mysterious in nature, loving to create and solve puzzles and riddles. They are also highly agile, being half big cat they can make great leaps and climb up some more difficult surfaces, as well as having huge great wings that can extend to metres in span and soar in the air.
conversations.prefix: Sphinx:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Whether it's pinpointing a gap in the market or getting out of a tight spot using only a yo-yo, some nails, and a handful of sawdust; you'll always find a way to take advantage of a situation. Or, at the very least, you'll have a good go at it.
conversations.prefix: Enterprising:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The infamous 'Headless Horseman' gave your kind an unfair reputation as harbingers of death. None can bar a road or path against you, locks and gates open upon your approach. You prefer to keep quiet and away from peering eyes, and gold is your greatest fear.

conversations.value: You may not be powerful, but what little magic you do have is astoundingly versatile.  And hey, sometimes it's the little things that count!
conversations.prefix: Practical Magic:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Sometimes you go along with things you shouldn't out of a desire to make other people happy.  Part of it is just being a djinn; part of it is just you.
conversations.prefix: People Pleaser:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Our fates swing like pendulums between fair and foul. The trickery of the Leprechauns allow them to nudge fate one way, but at the cost of eventually swinging the other. Many have cornered a leprechaun, blackmailing them to see a day of fair fate, only for it to be followed by a day of foulness. Their own lucky coins, inextricably tied to their beings, pin fate to the fair side.
conversations.prefix: Luck of the Leprechauns:

conversations.prefix: Wild:

conversations.value: It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to others, even to help them. Some lack this courage, and watch the world fall apart in powerless cognizance.

conversations.prefix: Shadow of the past:

conversations.value: It might have been taken from you or you may just never have experienced it. Either way, you want out of the oppression that's been forced upon you.
conversations.prefix: Gain your Freedom:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A group of creatures with powers tied to cold and snow. Whilst many share a  cold, uncaring demeanour, it is their ability to shape and harness ice that truly unites these Buren.
conversations.prefix: Ice Elemental:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Never worry about lukewarm drinks again! You are a chill person, able to harness the cold to lower the temperature of a room, shape ice to your will or even create localised snow.

conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Look, you've done these kinds of jobs before, and - you have a PhD in Parapsychology, for goodness sake! You've had to learn to notice the seemingly innocuous details. They eventually give rise to telling patterns. One way or another, they reveal the truth. 
conversations.prefix: Observant:

conversations.value: You don't plan on overstaying your welcome here; one way or another, you'll unmask the secrets lurking in this estate...
conversations.prefix: Uncover the Truth:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: While it should be clear to all that vampires are superior, humans and Buren tend to dislike this when it's pointed out. And sometimes, when they're being particularly incompetent, it can be hard to keep it in.
conversations.prefix: Arrogant:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You like to follow orders - it's what you do! After all, if they did not bring order, then they would not call it an "order", would they?
conversations.prefix: Obedient:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Where you would think of yourself as a strong willed, confident and wise individual, others would think of you as a bit of a prick. I'd say try and keep your mouth shut, but you've stopped reading haven't you?
conversations.prefix: Obnoxious:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your character is eager to to do well, and will try his best under every circumstance. While this doesn't necessarily mean he will be actively helpful, a positive attitude can go a long way!
