I have my first two characters posted one good and well a dark and rather sinister sister soul in the city - I wanted at least one bad girl and we are allowed one Independent so I did a Setite well higher up than a newbie. Is around a shorter time than my other character but has a clan so could rise to status faster and well bringing in innocent mortals to be used and abused, making Dhamfir (not anymore) and even some lower level Kindred to the Setite cause is useful. And fun. My two character likely won't interact much a streetwise and cagey Ancilla of a powerful sect can be a tough target for her after all. But Caitiff and Neonates less savey are another story.<br/>;)<br/><br/>EDIT: I assume the ST will take into account the character background and use common sense with Age frankly few very ancient vampires are active in city politics or even care at some point about such things. I wisely took Age 1 for my two Ancilla it made sense and all. Allowing a bit of extra discipline power in there without going overboard. I will not be running any Elders at this time.
