<strong>The Long Night: Player Information</strong><br/><br/>Congratulations on joining The Long Night campaign! I’m looking forward to roleplaying with you all in what promises to be a fun game. I’m emailing this to everyone who’s been accepted. Please have a read so we can get things going smoothly. I’ve tried to cram a lot of info in here, so sorry for the length!<br/><br/><strong>The Players &amp; their Characters:</strong><br/><br/><strong>“Thorn” North</strong>– Female, human (non-Awakened), demon hunter in training. Shy, young, somewhat naïve and innocent (still a virgin) but shows promise as a hunter.<br/><br/><strong>Sarah Marksman AKA “Eve”</strong>– Female, human (non-Awakened), demon hunter. A proud, stubborn kick-ass gunslinger and ex-soldier. Seeks to protect humanity from the demon menace.<br/><br/><strong>Sho Adams</strong>– Male, human (Awakened), spiritualist and sorcerer. Able to sense demons and spirits and even summon lesser demons with mixed success. Seeks to use his talents to protect the innocent from harm.<br/><br/><strong>Graven</strong>– Male, Demon, demon-hunter gone AWOL on earth. A powerful predatory demon that has rebelled against the edicts of his kind. Enjoys existing on earth as a powerful immortal and opposes the invasion.<br/><br/><strong>Vandren Wells</strong>– Male, half-demon, college student. Extremely lazy “good for nothing” with dark dreams of power. His demon blood has not emerged yet and to all intents and purposes he appears as an average young human male.<br/><br/><strong>Cruor Everto</strong>– Male, Blood Demon. Left the nether world of his own will and was labelled and outcast and traitor to his own kind. Has not decided where he will side in the war to come.<br/><br/><strong>Alison Lane</strong>– Female human (non-Awakened), antique shop owner and dreamer. Unknown to her, some of her rare items are in fact magical relics and artifacts.<br/><br/><strong>Catherine Rearden</strong>– Female, human (non-Awakened), lab geek and innocent daydreamer. Her research work is soon to lead her to some shocking discoveries and the truth - the presence of the supernatural in the world.<br/><br/><strong>Leah Lucas</strong>– Female, human (Awakened but un-tapped), schoolgirl, orphan, shy but quite bright. Unknown to her, Leah possesses significant psychic powers. These begin to manifest as the End of Times draws near.<br/><br/><strong>Xilos: Marianne Hall</strong>– Female, human (non-Awakened), schoolgirl and unlikely survivor. A fairly ‘typical nerd’ from a middle class family. Has demonstrated few talents and is “average” in seemingly every way.<br/><br/><strong>The Plan:</strong><br/>As you can see, we have a lot of players, ten in total – this is almost double what I’d expected! Due to the huge response I’ve tried to open things up a little. This has meant I’ve had to restructure my plans for the game a bit. The campaign will have three stages:<br/><br/>1, Solo session for each player character with me. (Two down already 8 to go).<br/>2, Players post one or more short stories telling the story leading up to invasion/roleplay by post.<br/>3, Formal game sessions. For which the players will be divided into 2 or 3 separate groups depending on situation/dynamics. This will be further down the track at this stage.<br/><br/><strong>Primers:</strong><br/>I have written three ‘primers’ containing info on the campaign:<br/>- Infernal Lore 101 (of which there are two versions, one for demons the other for hunters)<br/>- The Most Dangerous Game: Info on demon hunters and their profession<br/>- Babylon: A Handbook Guide to the End of the World<br/><br/>Your character determines which of these you will receive. For example, everyone gets “Babylon: A Handbook Guide to the End of the World”, but only demon players get the ‘demon version’ of  “Infernal Lore 101”. If you think you’ve missed out on info that you should have, please let me know and I’ll re-send.<br/><br/><strong>Character stats:</strong><br/>I’ve worked up detailed character sheets for a few characters so far and I’m still working on more. If you have a copy of BESM 3e, know the rules and would like to create your character’s stats yourself, go for it but please follow these guidelines below.<br/>If not, don’t panic, I’ll get to your character in time and will PM you a copy of your P.Cs stats to check over and change as you see fit. Also, please note that this is not a “system heavy” type of game. Stats are more to help us define what your character can/can’t realistically do. When we start formal sessions they’ll become more important.<br/><br/><strong>Points/Type: </strong>Note – this is not a intended to be a “high powered” game<br/>“Mundane” or “regular” human: 145 points<br/>Experienced human: 175 points<br/>Heroic, “hardcore” or newly Awakened human: 200 points<br/>Half or Lesser demon: 200-250 points<br/>True demon: 300-350 points<br/><strong><br/>Stats:</strong>Min 2 Max 9 (for humans/Awakened)<br/><br/><strong>Sources of power: </strong>Supernatural, social, skilled, technological.<br/><br/><strong>Attributes: </strong>These MUST make sense for the character and fit the theme and feel of the setting.<br/><br/>Humans: The max levels on page 16 of the rulebook are being used.
