(https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=174630.0)<br><br>A-ha! I have an OOC up. Took me long enough, didn't it? If you read through and have suggestions about stuff I need to put in, let me know. I'm happy and willing to add more. Most of this is just rough information you need to have an idea where you are an a vague idea of what the power struggles are. I don't want to get too bogged down in details, and I doubt all of you do, either.<br><br><strong>Notes about Dice Rolls:</strong> My rolls for ST characters will be kept hidden from you, as well as the stats for most ST characters. Why? Because it encourages you to use caution and keep your wits about you.&nbsp; And because everyone likes a good surprise. ;)<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Excerpt from the journal of Kifah bint Tariq</div><div class="spoiler_body"> <br>I remember coming here from Mexico City many years ago, and I remember the way that, even at night, how the air shifted from a delicate heat to an indiscernible chill. Packs were being encouraged to make their homes in NYC, and of course, this was before Orozco was Bishop, so it was Careme who was bishop then, the Tzimisce who acted as a spiritual reformer for the Sabbat. He and the Archbishop Polonia (yes, the eternally sunburned Lasombra wasn't Cardinal yet; that came later when he lost focus on us and mired Orozco in New York City as he pranced off with the Fiend Vykos to take the East Coast and become Cardinal) never got along, because Careme was trying to break Lasombra dominance in NYC. I'm pretty sure he didn't succeed all that well; trying to get the Lasombra to part with power is like trying to convince a fish to breath air and walk. <br><br>Antitribu have never had a very strong presence in the Sabbat, but that's because, overall, we are very minor in comparison to the typical Sabbat clans. There is a subtle tendency for antitribu to clump together like seaweed in the tide. Oh, you see individually powerful antitribu, but you won't see most of us stereotyped the way you could a Tzimisce or a Lasombra. We end up being known more by the role we play in the Damned hierarchy than for our contributions to clan.<br><br>Sheer aggression in the past has kept New York City under Sabbat control, but Prince Michaela is slowly rising as a threat. We've seen an influx of Camarilla coteries attacking Sabbat packs. The fact they would risk their precious Masquerade in order to launch an offensive...Michaela is growing more aggressive. We can't ignore her influence in the matters of the kine; the Camarilla stoops to the lowest pawns and lackeys to destabilizing us. They lower themselves to the state of mortals. It's demeaning to see our Kindred brethren shame themselves such, and it's ever more fucking demeaning that their tactics are <em>working.</em><br><br>The pressure is on. The Ravnos Antediluvian awoke in Bangladesh, and I heard that it took a conjunction of mages armed with nukes, Kindred elders, and Kuei-jin elders to take down that monstrosity. Rumors are flying that theTzimisce Antediluvian might still exist...somewhere in the shadows of NYC. I know that it's common knowledge that it was diablerized by anarchs...but if what Lambach, it's grandchilde, said is true, Tzimisce could be right under our noses. And what does that mean if Tzimisce lives? Did they ever even really slay the Lasombra Antediluvian? <br><br>It brings up more than a few questions about the 3rd generation elder of my own clan...Haqim. The original curse of Clan Assamite was a hunger for the blood of our fellow Damned....so how great will Haqim's hunger be when he wakes up? <br><br>But that is the larger picture. Right now, we must strive to keep NYC under Sabbat control, and our influence is weakening. No one wants to admit it, but it is true. My pack and I are the odd pack out--we seem to see the situation for what it is. My sire, a Templar sworn to the service of Polonia before Polonia became a Cardinal, brings us assignments to undertake on behalf of the Cardinal. It's time to defend what is ours. It's time to rip into the soft flesh of the Camarilla, drink their weak vitae, stomp their domains into the ground, and renew New York City as a true empire of the childer of Caine. Let this city return to the violence and the blood that makes it strong.<br><br>~Kifah, June 1999<br></div></div><br>Okay, a few things starting off about canon:<br><strong>*</strong>The current year is 1999. It's the month of June. <br><strong>*</strong>The Week of Nightmares has happened already. <br><strong>*</strong>The Camarilla Prince is Prince Michaela, a female Ventrue. She's controlled NYC since 1980 as Prince, and she's been a strong presence in NYC since 1929. Michaela, like a majority of Ventrue elders, is obscenely wealthy.<br><strong>*</strong>Francisco Polonia is the Cardinal of New York and the Eastern Territories, a male Lasombra. He was only recently elevated to that status after helping the famous Tzimisce Vykos take control of the East Coast (or a strong majority of it, anyway).<br><strong>*</strong>The Sabbat Bishop is Simon Orozco, who took power in 1993. Orozco is a male Lasombra, and he's seen as a lackey of Polonia's. In other words, an order from Orozco is really just an order from the Cardinal.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Areas of NYC</div><div class="spoiler_body">NYC can be roughly divided into 5 main sections called boroughs. I'm not super particular about having a spot-on map and guide of where everyone is right this second. So long as I know which borough you're in, you're okay. Here are the five sections and a couple of useful places to note in each one. This is obviously just some REALLY brief information, and if there's somewhere else you want your character to be, by all means just tell me the borough it's in and we can use it:<br><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Manhattan</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Manhattan</strong>: (rough population 1.5 million)<br><em>Madison Square and Madison Square Garden:</em> This is between Madison Avenue and Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street and 26th Street (Madison Square); Seventh Avenue between 31st and 33rd Streets (Madison Square Garden). <br>This is Elysium for the Camarilla.<br><br><em>Wall Street:</em> (At the southern tip of Manhattan, north-northwest of Battery Park)<br>Everyone knows this to be the domain of the Ventrue, and it is the heart of Prince Michaela's domain. <br><br><em>Chantry of the Five Boroughs:</em> A Tremere stronghold, one of their chantries with five split locations. <em>Sabbat members will not be aware of these locations unless they discover them in-game.</em> It is known that they change the locations every seven years, and the Sabbat knows that this these Chantries launch significant attacks against them all the time.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Bronx</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>The Bronx</strong>: (rough population 1.2 million)<br><em>Munsee-Hudson Expediting And Storage:</em> (Henry Hudson Parkway and 254th Street). This is a stronghold owned by a consortium of Lasombra who manage it on behalf of Cardinal Polonia. This is a weapons cache and a contains a safe room where Sabbat packs can hide out as well. Camarilla members do not know the location of this area.<br><br><em>Rikers Island</em> (Off the southeastern tip of the Bronx, in the East River)<br>It's a bleak prison, but for Kindred, this actually a place where emergency blood or favors might be acquired. A Malkavian named Carter Vanderweyden seems to have numerous contacts here on the island. Sometimes it's possible to get those who know too much about Kindred dealt with at Rikers.<br><br><em>Van Cortlandt Park:</em> (North Bronx, bordered on the north by the border of the borough itself)<br>This is indisputably Lasombra territory, and it has been that way since the mid-19th century, when the Van Cortlandt family was Embraced into the Sabbat and brought their properly with them. </div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Brooklyn</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Brooklyn</strong>: (rough population 2.3 million)<br><em>Coney Island:</em> (At the southeastern tip of the Brooklyn borough)<br>Coney Island is filled with boardwalks and amusement attractions, although these are relics of a previous glory age for the area. This is the domain of Oleg Selivanov, a Tzimisce who lives in the Little Odessa neighborhood here and has ties to the Russian mob. There is a growing number of Camarilla Brujah appearing, though....<br><br><em>Bedford-Stuyvesant:</em> (Bordered on the north by Flushing Avenue, on the east by Broadway and Saratoga Avenue and on the south by Atlantic Avenue)<br>A predominantly black neighborhood, this place has a reputation as a slum it doesn't really deserve. A small but pervasive group of Setites are around, but currently this area is "shared" but a Lasombra and a Tzimisce. There are scattered Brujah and Toreador presences here as well. Ventrue and Tremere potentially see this as a place to invest in, particularly in the Bedford-Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation here.<br></div></div><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Queens</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Queens</strong>: (rough population 2 million)<br><em>Flushing:</em> (Bordered by Bayside Avenue to the north, the Flushing Meadows-Corona Park to the west and Union Turnpike to the south)<br>Flushing is an area of of NYC known for a stronger Asian population, and the Sabbat packs have a strong base of gangs here, and there seems to be a Black Hand influence as well, too. Malkavians and Assamites often take domains and havens here.<br><br><em>John F. Kennedy Airport:</em> (In southeastern Queens, on Jamaica Bay) <br>The airport is open to all Kindred, but there is a strong Giovanni presence here. They usually work through proxies, ghouls, and mortals. They usually ask for payment or a share of things that Kindred bring through the airport, losing things or conveniently delaying flights for Kindred so they land during the daylight if they aren't given their due.<br></div></div><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Staten Island</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Staten Island</strong>: (rough population 1/2 million)<br><em>The Staten Island Ferry:</em> (Travels from the southern tip of Manhattan at Whitehall Terminal to St. George)<br>This area is currently controlled by an anarch named Boss Callihan, and he claimed it as anarch domain, although this is highly contested by more territorial antitribu and aggressive Gangrel. Callihan makes it clear that any Kindred using the ferry without the anarchs say-so will be violating his claim to domain...and it will likely mean a fight.<br><br><em>La Tourette Park:</em> (Bordered on the north by Rockland Avenue and to the south by Arthur Kill Road)<br>This area is where anarchs run wild, and where they've even managed to kill a Lupine. There are no real domains staked out here, but more aggressive Sabbat members might be able to stretch there legs here and get their aggression out...and often they try to hunt Lupines here...and they adore hosting Games of Instinct here.<br></div></div></div></div><br>So, as for plot...Initially, the plot will start simple. Tariq, an Assamite Templar sworn to Orozco, will hand down assignments from the Bishop of NYC. He's also tasked to see if the pack requires a new Ductus, or if Kifah would be suitable as both pack priest and Ductus, so it's likely pack members will want to vie for Tariq's favor...or at least aid another pack member they support, whether this is Kifah or any member of the pack. So we'll deal with the internal pack struggle as they seek to eliminate Camarilla coteries. The first assignment will likely be explained in full detail when I write the first post. The first post will also take place during a Vaulderie ceremony. It's up to players to decide if this pack is just now coming together for the first time, or if they've been a pack for a while (I am willing to rewrite the pack priest's history if all of you want the pack to just be forming).<br><br>The pack knows that their actions can mean the difference between controlling their domain and retaining Sabbat control over NYC or losing out to the Camarilla. In the shadows, the anarchs and independents cause their own trouble, and may have to be allied with or dealt with accordingly. The Black Hand may show some interest in the pack as well, and it is suspected by all that Tariq may be a member. As time progresses, we will add additional factors in, such as the threat of rising elders in these Final Nights or possible Jihad involving the Antediluvians.<br><br>I will be making one more pack member, a male Lasombra, to add to the group at some point. I like the idea of a very large pack. After all, there is strength and unity in numbers.<br><br>Now, it might behoove us to figure out how the pack was formed...<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Important RP Info</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>*</strong>I have decided that I don't have a preferred <strong>stat</strong> sheet format for V20.

That's just for your statistics; I can get your character <em>descriptions</em> myself from the interest check, but AndyZ had a stat sheet already made.<br><br><strong>*</strong>For rolling dice, I prefer that you use the Dicebot here on E.

She is a deliberate and calculating predator. She sees casual violence as a sign of immaturity and dishonor, though. Premeditated pain against another is the sign of a civilized and ambitious mind in her eyes, but wanton destruction is beastly. To Kifah, all things must have a reason, although once that reason is found, she becomes an unholy perpetrator of violence and misery. Otherwise, she is soft-spoken, firm, and seems to genuinely care about her packmates, although she has a special disdain for those that complain too often. <br><br><strong>History:</strong> <br>She has forsaken what she believes to be the false morality of mortality and is a practitioner of the Path of Honorable Accord, taught to her by her sire in the early nights of her Embrace.&nbsp; Due to her clan weakness, she treats the Vaulderie as sacred and as threatning as a Blood Bond, so she does not take it lightly. She slew the last Ductus (pack leader) for treachery, and now she, by default, leads a Sabbat pack until her sire Tariq (charged with handling this particular matter) either decides to appoint a new Ductus or make her the Ductus of the pack.&nbsp; <br><br>She was Embraced more than a century ago, and she does not speak much of her former life, as she believes referencing her history as a human is pointless now that she is of the Kindred. What little is known about her indicates she was likely a Muslim with Arabic as her native language, most assuredly from somewhere in the Middle East, and she seems to be (sporadically) well-educated. She seems to be on good terms with her sire Tariq, who is a Templar of the Sabbat. She claims to have come to New York City about thirty years ago with her sire from Mexico City, although her sire will not confirm this story. If asked who the family of Kattan is, the family she supposedly hails from, she becomes very bitter and sullen, saying only that "Blood is blood."<br><br><strong>Your Kink List:</strong> The only two kinks off of the table for this character will be scat and snuff. Anything else is permissible if discussed with me in advance.<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">ST character: Richard Soveryn</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatright">(http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/133/0/b/vtm__lasombra_by_alexandernysyos-d4zkhsu.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Richard Soveryn<br><strong>Clan:</strong> Lasombra<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Soveryn is loquacious and vindictive; he's likely to take any excuse to punish kine and glorify the Sabbat, which sometimes makes no sense, considering that it was a Sabbat member that Embraced him and tortured him....but Kifah's treatment of him, more in line with the Code of Milan, has him very fanatically loyal to the sect. He has a constant urge to be in control, but sometimes pings of his old morality return to plague him, and he can sink into depressions that last for days.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Soveryn was only recently Embraced in the past year. He's 12th generation, and he's still trying to adjust. Soveryn still follows the Path of Humanity...but he's amazingly low on his path. He was Embraced when he was in his late twenties, a small businessman who was targeted by a a roving Lasombra who left him nearly as soon as he made him. Kifah took him in right after his Embrace, and Tariq slew Soveryn's sire. <br><br>He grew up in NYC, a small businessman and a Catholic, and his intellect, his ability to manage money, and that taint of sweet faith was what drew in his sire. <br><br>Soveryn was married just out of high school, and he was happy in that marriage, and even had a son, but his sire slew them both when he was Embraced. He's never really recovered, and he's still seen as legally alive...and is wanted for questioning regarding the murder of Marie Soveryn and her son, James. As a result, he's been hardened to a lot of the Sabbat's more extreme behavior, being on the receiving end of it...and he's incredibly cruel.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Your Kink List:</strong> Soveryn appears heterosexual at first, but he's been known to cast his gaze to suitable men. He'll literally try anything once, but not so much for sexual reasons as for a blatant shock factor. Scat and snuff are off of the table, mostly because I just don't like those. </div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Played by Alexstone: Tim McCallan</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Tim McCallan<br><br><strong>Clan:</strong> Ventrue Antitribu<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> The Only Sane (?) Man.&nbsp; It's a mad, crazy world most Sabbat live in, with their efforts to be monsters, to revel in their Trve Klvt monster status.&nbsp; Tim is the guy who can deal with mortals, talk to them and deal with them on a nearly rational basis.&nbsp; Of course, given the nature of the Sabbat, and the Beast, and all the rest, is he the sane guy, or the crazy one for pretending he's still something like a human?<br><br>The fact he can only feed from screaming women just doesn't help things, either.<br><br><br><strong>History:</strong> Tim was an up and coming stock broker, who had a nose for when some sort of strange deal was in the works.&nbsp; Of course, Tim wasn't really one to report these things to the SEC, but would rather cash in on them.&nbsp; The one time he ended up on the wrong side of a scam, he decided to take revenge by sending the lot involved to prison.&nbsp; As it turns out, one of those he sent up the river was on the list of a Ventrue antitribu for the Embrace, and, when Tim stole his prize away, he Embraced Tim and ditched him.&nbsp; He has no idea who he or she could be- and, truthfully, he probably wasn't intended to survive the experience, but survive it he did.<br><br>Tim did his best to continue with his life after his death, getting transferred to the nigh desk.&nbsp; But, that lasted just a few days, until his cravings struck, and he had to force himself onto one of the office runners to saitiate his Hunger.&nbsp; He never came back after that, but continued to make money on the Asia desk- he walked out of his trading firm with as much as he could steal.&nbsp; He then fell in with a group of other vampires (Presumably, if approved, the characters played by the esteemed others in the group), who have been taking advantage of his willingness to "Play Human," where he does what they think of as menial dirty work, but which, for now, he sees as challenging and interesting in accomplishing, and a chance to flex his vampiric powers.<br><br><strong>Your Kink List:</strong> <br><br>Well, I think I'd be interested in a decent into monster sort of arc for this character, if it works out that way.&nbsp; So, I'm probably looking at keeping a pretty open set of kinks, so long as scat and kids are left out of it (Not my personal scene.) I'm interested in trying a few new things, in terms of violence, like perhaps torture- perhaps even extreme sorts- and seeing where it goes.<br><br>I personally wouldn't be too interested in M/M stuff, but that's just me.&nbsp; And, well, I'm not opposed to just some plain old vanilla stuff.&nbsp; I mean, I don't have to kill a dog to have an orgasm, to borrow a phrase.<br><br>Note that my lack of interest in something isn't disapproving of it in game, I just won't be participating.&nbsp; Though, my character might be taunted about it, and that's fine.<br><br>And, at the end, this is a vampire who can't get any nourishment from blood unless it's drawn from a screaming woman.&nbsp; She doesn't have to be screaming in pain- it could be pleasure, it could be because he paid her to.&nbsp; Still, there's a couple of easy ways to do that...<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Played by AndyZ: Sasha</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatright">(http://imageshack.us/a/img543/3639/hubredhead.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Sasha<br><br><strong>Clan:</strong> City Gangrel<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Predatory, loyal to the leader but unwilling to let herself be treated as superfluous, survivor<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Sasha most often hunts down Camarilla members, and has diablerized herself down to Eighth generation.&nbsp; She's also got herself along the Path of the Feral Heart, but she has more than enough need to kill Camarilla and others who are a threat to her and her pack.<br><br><strong>Your Kink List:</strong> <br>As written so far, Sasha wouldn't be overly interested in sex.&nbsp; Of course, wrestling for aggressive dominance is a fun all its own, but not really the same thing.&nbsp; However, she's retained enough of her nature that she still breathes, maintains her pinkish hue and even gets wet at times.&nbsp; Whether someone can seduce her is a question all its own.<br><br>I'd be good with making the occasional mortal to get hunted down, though.<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Played by Geeklet: Monica DuVall</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatright">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/justafreak/ravnosAT_zpsb066bd6a.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Monica DuVall<br><br><strong>Clan:</strong> Ravnos AT<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Rebellious and capricious, though age seems to have tempered her outbursts as of late.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Originally she joined the Sabbat after being spurned one to many times by the prejudices of the Camarilla in various cities regarding her clan. As long as her anger was directed towards their enemies, most of the other Sabbat were happy. Well, tolerated her, at least. When the Week of Nightmares hit, that was when things began to take a turn for the worse. She was one of the few to survive, thankfully after the rest of her old pack locked her up until she came back to her senses. But now she was left with unanswered questions, like why the founding clans of the Sabbat claimed their progenitors were dead, yet neither one had suffered like she had. With these questions, and others like it, many labeled her a heretic, and did whatever they could to get rid of her.<br><br>But Monica was a survivor, and withstood every punishment they could throw at her. In time, she wouldn't even say anything, yet still get put into situations no one thought she could make it back from, just from spite. Someone higher up noticed her skill at surviving, and decided to direct her rebellion towards a more worthy goal, and set her upon her current path. And though she still has questions, she's learned when the time is right. <br><br><strong>Your Kink List:</strong> I'm open for just about anything, except for scat and full-on bestiality. Would prefer not to engage in excessive needleplay either, but given the nature of the sabbat and vampires, I could understand a little bit on occasion to draw blood and whatnot. Other than that, I'm willing to try just about anything.<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Played by Wargtass: Ramon Tezcatli</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Ramon Tezcatli<br><strong>Clan:</strong> Tzimisce<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Generally cold and calculating like many Tzimisce, Ramon's eyes nonetheless burns with a passion as he serves his part in the great war against the Antediluvians and their pawns the <em>Cama-ree-ah</em>. He models himself after his upbringing, the old Aztec blood and upbringing burning through his vains and he often uses his Vicissitude to model himself and his szlachtas around the mythological creatures and deities of the Mexicas. He is especially fond of Tezcatlipoca, the All-seeing Lord of the Smoking Mirror that his family took its name from, and often wears its likeness.<br><br>When it comes to the pack he gives his all. They are his brothers and sisters, kin by blood through the unholy pact Vaulderie. Whether he likes them as individuals does not matter, but those he especially like he keeps close and healthy, mending their wounds and sharing his blood with them, even going so far as to partake in perverse games of pleasure and violence combined. Those that anger him often comes to a sticky end though, pack or not. There is no wrath like that of a Tezcatli Tzimisce.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Bred from a minor Revenant family in Mexico City said to be descended from the Aztec, Ramon was chosen early on to be raised as a future childe to a local Tzimisce lord. He was constantly groomed towards that goal and goaded into acts of cruelty by his parents, going so far as to letting him torture and kill his own siblings. He was brought to secret covens underneath the city, were cults mimicking the old Aztec religion bathed him in blood and gore, praising him as the forerunner to a new Aztec Empire. The lord who intended to embrace Ramon wasn't too fond of these practices, worrying that such ideas could very well ruin the young boy for his future plans. As such he came by night on his tenth birthday and slayed his whole family before taking him away to his haven.<br><br>Under his tutelage Ramon grew into his role as sole childe of the old Cainite, studying many diverse subjects from anatomy to koldunic texts regarding spirits from the old days that remained in Mexico City. Many times he was taken to Fuente de Tláloc in Chapultepec Park to drink from its waters, which his progenitor-to-be said contained powerful koldunic energies. As Ramon became an adult he was started on a diet of blood, becoming a true revenant and finally being able to practice the arts that he had learned over the years. The cruel streak that his family had infused him with and the powers lent to him by the Tzimisce blended nicely, producing a vicious and calculating being bereft of conscience.<br><br>He spent decades in this state until the elder Cainite finally decided it was time. His embrace was rather serene, prepared for months in advance and as he rised from his earth-filled casket he remained calm and cold as his Sire herded the sacrificial vessels that would be his first meal of vitae towards him. He drank them dry and was quickly swept up and brought before the Regent for introduction. A rather dull affair, general procedure, but the aweinspiring air of the Sabbat ensured Ramon's future loyalty and zeal. What better way to spend unlife but to serve the Cause? When the offer came to serve in a pack in New York City away from his protective sire, he immediately swallowed hook, line and sinker.<br><br><strong>Your Kink List:</strong> <br>Perhaps the hardest part for me to pinpoint, given the Tzimisces' rather rampant nature when it comes to this. The classic offs apply, because really, who wants scat and kids anyway, but I am willing to push the boundries when playing a Sabbat Tzimisce. I think a little bit of everything can be tried and discussed in the OOC, so if you feel like you want to get kinky with a tentacled Szlachta or a Ramon in Horrid form, just ask, worst you can get is a no. What I am looking for is rather loosely defined, I don't keep many preferences, so feed me some ideas and I'll be very open.<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Played by Pumpkin Seeds: Magdalena Villemont</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatleft">(http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-0xWA8nPM6Nk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/o6QRVVMyj2Q/s512-c/photo.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Magdalena Villemont<br><strong>Clan:</strong> Lasombra<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Magdalena Villemont knows that she was born to become a monster.&nbsp; Born to one villain only to be raised by another, she has no doubt about her fate in this life.&nbsp; The shadows are the place where her soul is destined and the place where the beast inside her heart calls home.&nbsp; Seductive and manipulative, she enjoys nothing more than to play the hopes and aspirations of one person against themselves.&nbsp; A slow cruelty is what delights her as dreams fall apart and crumble, only to have those same people that she hurt kneeling before her to beg for another chance.&nbsp; The strings that make others dance give her delight and so she exercises such cruelty freely.&nbsp; She is a Machiavellian to her core without remorse or regret for those she hurts.<br><br><strong>History: </strong><br>At Magdalena's home of New Orleans, the war of the Sabbat and the Camarilla raged.&nbsp; Corrupt politicians were turned to the light while violence ravaged the city streets.&nbsp; New Orleans became a battleground of epic proportions that not even the most jaded and cynical could anticipate.&nbsp; Under siege was the very home of the Villemont brood where much of the wealth and power of Magdalena Villemont and her descendants were drawn.&nbsp; Investigations by the IRS plagued her business ventures; tabloid reporters visited her home and offices while immigration services sent about harassing her girls.&nbsp; Magdalena deflected much of this attention as she plied the game of politics and subtly, but older hands were at worked than she could handle.&nbsp; So she made the decision to let the fields burn and allow her empire to fall in the city of New Orleans so that she might prosper atop the towers of New York.<br><br>For a time the woman who was Magdalena vanished from public eye and accounts.&nbsp; The Villemont brood rested in prison or scattered amidst the political and financial elite.&nbsp; Quietly the woman maneuvered her pieces through the glass workings of New York as war played out over the landscape of Europe.&nbsp; Magdalena had learned her lesson well.&nbsp; While the Sabbat had taught her to be a monster, to revel in the true nature of her being, the Camarilla had taught her the meaning of the subtle.&nbsp; A vampire was no bear or lion to prowl the open landscape, but a jaguar and poison to move amidst the night air and strangle their prey.&nbsp; So she did and so she grew stronger.&nbsp; The women of the night folded beneath the auspice of the women of the morning light.&nbsp; Magdalena would hide openly among the people so that when her claws were shown they would find their mark without delay.<br><br>Jeu d’Ombre became the name she gave to the daylight world.&nbsp; A name that decorated the letter head of her modeling agency and publishing company, which decorated above the image of a simple doll blotted with black.&nbsp; Such a symbol marked the labels of fashionable clothing.&nbsp; A more punctuated one with needles and small eyes also appeared on the back of video tapes and later DVDs.&nbsp; Beneath the trappings of beauty and nobility came also her darker nature with a studio of pornography.&nbsp; An empire of beauty and sex was built beneath her fingers, tugged on strings of inky shadow while she asserted herself among the mortals and then made her debute among the vampires that called New York home.&nbsp; When at last Magdalena made herself known to her own kind, she stepped into the moonlight with all the ladies of the sun and moon behind her.&nbsp; Their secrets were her secrets and her smile betrayed only that she knew them all. <br><br><strong>Kink List:</strong> Magdalena’s interest in sex is one of power.&nbsp; For her the act is one of domination and submission, a struggle between two people.&nbsp; Bondage and domination are certainly aspects that would interest her along with being a voyeur and giving commands.&nbsp; Long use of teasing and touching would seduce her, but also a mental power play that would draw out the tension and excitement.&nbsp; <br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Played by bubby: Faith Summers</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/8/8a/Black-and-white-blonde-eyes-girl-hair-lips-Favim.com-66962_large.jpg)</div><br><strong>Name:</strong> Faith Summers<br><br><strong>Clan:</strong> 12th Generation Gangrel<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> The words 'crazy bitch' have been bandied around. 'Wild card' tends to fit as well. Even before she was Embraced Faith tended towards the extreme in her attitude. Angry, callous, short fused. One moment she can be so sweet and docile, the next she can be looking to rip your throat out. Literally. She is always looking for anything that will stir her blood, anyone who she thinks will give her a good Hunt. The more they fight, the better. <br><br><strong>History:</strong> Born and raised in NYC, Faith was always a 'weird' child. She tended towards darker things, be it in the books she read to the things she did in her free time. Fostered out at a young age as her parents were deemed unfit, she bounced from house to house, always with words such as 'unruly' and 'uncontrollable' following in her wake. She ran away constantly. <em>Where</em> she ran to was the odd thing. Faith could always be found, eventually, in some part of Central Park, hiding among or in the trees. For some reason she had been found many times surrounded by a murder of ravens.<br><br>As she grew older, school became an issue as well. She was always getting into fights, and more then just a simple brawl. Faith tended to stalk her victims, finding out what they were most afraid of, be they male or female. She began delving into the Occult, becoming a self-styled Priestess of the Night. She became a frequenter of the NYC Underground, enjoying the Rave scene, and the drugs that went along with it. More often then not, she would end her night prowling the Park, looking for pretty boys that might spark her interest. Most times those boys ran away bleeding and whining. <br><br>It was at one of those Rave's she met Severin Malkovich. He was not like any other man she had met. <em>He</em> seemed to stalk her. She would turn and find him watching, a long haired beast on the Hunt. He would follow her whenever she went to the Park, watch her as she toyed with her Boys. When they finally started speaking, he did not shrink away when she spoke of the darkness that she reveled in, of the things she enjoyed. He was glorious, and she was smitten. Then came the night, within the trees, as she fell again into his glowing eyes, that Severin attacked. Faith fought, to no avail. Yet as her heart slowed, as he laid her upon the ground, the promises her purred into her ear if she would accept his Gift thrilled her. And accept she did.<br><br><strong>Your Kink List:</strong> No scat, water sports, anything bathroom. With this char I will be opening up my 'non-con' world a bit, though I'm not into full on rape. Bondage and blood is acceptable, some torture both given and taken. I will also be open to a more submissive role in some aspects of the game, depending on who the Dominant might be.<br><br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Played by Re Z L: Alice</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/uTXjCJj.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><strong><span style="font-size: 24pt;" class="bbc_size">Alice</span></strong><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">Punk Rock Siren</span><br>12th Generation Toreador <em>Antitribu</em> (http://sheetgen.dalines.net/sheet/26212)</span><br><br><br><strong>Background:</strong><br>Originally from Los Angeles, she was brought into the fold by a young and ultimately naive Toreador neonate while she was on tour with her band.&nbsp; The goth-punk guitarist was spotted while she was playing and performing back up vocals, which easily grabbed the rapt attention of the neonate.&nbsp; He was not entirely prepared for the woman he'd granted the gift of vampirism to.<br><br>The loss of humanity, the sense of conscience and normal human emotion was enough to fracture the minds of those already perfectly sane, and for those already bordering on the fringes of human morality it was enough to plunge them into an abyss.&nbsp; Sex, drugs, and rock and roll was enough to distract her from her own darker desires when warm blood still pumped through her veins, but when those pleasures suddenly meant much less, her whole world got turned on its ear.<br><br>She was quickly bored of her sire and lured him away on a trip to Tiajuana after her band had finished playing in San Diego.&nbsp; What would have proved to be a night full of lust and blood, turned out to be only half-true.&nbsp; What began as empty sex ended in brutal diablerie after hours of torment.&nbsp; Dissatisfied with the still empty feeling within she slew the rest of her band-mates in the same evening. The bloodshed was enough to attract the attention of the police the next day, as well as the Sabbat.<br><br>Her recruitment went easily for her at first, it was a simple way for her to disappear and get away from the authorities, but the harsh realities of being a member of the Sabbat set in quickly.&nbsp; Like a blade, she was tempered by the fires that the Sabbat subjected her too until her edge became as sharp as it was beautiful.&nbsp; She lost the path of humanity in those days and found herself among the Nihilists, searching for meaning in the unlife beyond meaningless grasping onto her past, mortal life and its empty morality.<br><br>She moved from place to place quickly over the next few years until she eventually ended up in New York.&nbsp; She spends her time now doing as the Sabbat directs her to while also hosting a radio show in the evenings, under an alternate identity, just before dusk.&nbsp; Her haven has a modest sound studio which she broadcasts from.&nbsp; She's tapped into the various local music scenes in the city and goes to a number of different concerts when she can.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> <br>Sweet and personable one minute, conniving sociopath the next.&nbsp; If anything consistent could be said about her it is that she enjoys keeping people off-balance, either through causing them discomfort (mentally, spiritually, or physically) or by doing things that they do not expect.&nbsp; A creature of extremes, she seeks a balance to her life through living on edges--the torrential winds of a hurricane surrounding the balanced and calm eye.<br><br>To packmates she is loyal, though she can be somewhat disturbing to those with delicate sensibilities.&nbsp; She prioritizes her pack before most any other cause, and while she holds their best interests in mind, what she thinks is in their best interests isn't always necessarily what the individuals might think is in their best interest.<br><br>To friends she can seem aloof, or distinctly obsessive.&nbsp; Her flirtations are dangerous propositions, bordering somewhere between pain and pleasure.&nbsp; She plays on the fears and vices of her allies in ways that she feels will test them and strengthen them.&nbsp; Keeping them off balance helps prepare them for the strange events that may yet come.<br><br>Similarly, to neutral parties she can seem either disinterested, or madly inquisitive.&nbsp; Most neutral parties fall into one of two categories:&nbsp; "practice", or "perfect".&nbsp; Practice are people who have little redeeming value in her mind (a category that many mortals fall into), and can safely be used to practice any mischivous or diabolical ideas she has--be it as simple as public feeding, or as devasating as flaying them alive.&nbsp; Perfect category peoples are for her to hone and develop, either into loyal followers or into agents of chaos.&nbsp; The latter category are typically expendable resources in her mind, otherwise they would belong in the friends or packmate categories.<br><br>Enemies rarely get to see any real face behind the porcelain masque of macabre desire.&nbsp; To them she is a monster and little else beside.&nbsp; Similar to neutral people, she treats these people in one of two ways, either as obstacles to overcome, or challenges to convert closer to her way of thinking.<br><br><strong>Appearance:</strong> <br>Always fashionable, but never appropriate.&nbsp; Her clothes range from gothic, to grunge, to punk, to high society, typically skirting on extremes.&nbsp; Her hair also changes frequently, though it's natural color is black and is kept short.&nbsp; Her eyes are a sapphire blue, her skin a deathly pale due to her undead nature, lips painted red or pink or blue or any other color of the spectrum.&nbsp; Her slim, well-proportioned body is covered with a number of tattoos, most prominently a jade dragon that wraps around her left leg, up over her torso, across her back and down her right arm.&nbsp; Her piercings are fewer than one might expect, sporting an array on each ear and a single bar through her right eyebrow.<br><br><strong>Quote:</strong><br><em>"You never know the value of something until its been taken away."</em><br><br><strong>Kinks:</strong><br>Not much is really off of the table for me.&nbsp; MxM isn't really something I enjoy, but it doesn't bother me.&nbsp; Scat and the like are not negotiable.&nbsp; Anything else is probably fine, if you're not sure you can PM me about it first.<br><br></div></div><br><br><hr><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Who's in the IC, and where are they at?</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>AlexStone</strong> (playing <em>Tim McCallum</em>): The Bronx, at the Munsee-Hudson Expediting And Storage<br><strong>AndyZ</strong> (playing <em>Sasha</em>): The Bronx, at Van Cortlandt Park<br><strong>Pumpkin Seeds</strong> (playing <em>Magdalena Villemont</em>): Manhattan Apartments, in route to the Bronx<br><strong>Re Z L</strong> (playing <em>Alice</em>): The Bronx at Munsee-Hudson Expediting and Storage<br><strong>Geeklet</strong> (playing <em>Monica DuVall</em>): The Bronx at Munsee-Hudson Expediting and Storage<br><br>Other players TBA as they post in the IC.<br></div></div>

				As for myself, I like the idea of an established pack, though probably a loose one- maybe it was bigger, and has taken some losses recently?&nbsp; That would explain why they don't know each other well yet, though saves us some trouble of drawing together.

				Andy, I'll borrow that idea about spoilers. I like that idea.<br><br>And Alex, an established pack could work quite well. The only thing it would require is a brief explanation of how each of you knows the pack priest or possibly the Templar Tariq.<br><br>Oh, and to clarify something after someone PMed me, your actual stat sheets that list your attributes and abilities are what I want PMed to me, and I don't need a particular format for it.

				Ah, we have a (not very well written) IC. <br><br>https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=174630.0<br><br>Feel free to make your entrances how you like. You do not need to have your stats rolled to make your<em> initial </em>post, mind you, but you will need those stats <em>after</em> that. This scene is where all the characters are going to acquire their initial Vinculum scores to one another. Don't worry--my Storyteller POV will expand beyond Kifah after a couple of posts so you guys don't get bored, but I don't want the first posts to be overly complicated, so I decided to keep it simple.<br><br>Also regarding the Game of Instinct mentioned in the IC, when everyone makes their first post, we'll discuss a few of those games and see which might be a little fun for a Sabbat pack like this one to play.&nbsp; &gt;:)<br><br>Our pack needs a name. Any ideas, anyone? I'm awful with names.<br><br>Lastly, any of you having difficulty on your sheets or needing some input, PM me about it.

				Also, I just read the IC: AndyZ, Soveryn is not a Nosferatu. I may need to edit my post to make that clear. He's a Lasombra (who conveniently has dots in Obfusate), and he was picking up information from a Nosferatu informant on behalf of the pack priest. Can you edit your post to reflect that knowledge?

				Thanks, Andy!<br><br>And Wargtass, I'll PM you the IC link, but I will put it in the first OOC post too, for good measure. If you don't have your statistics sheet made, you can only make one post--your intro post, but it's still permitted.<br><br>Also, I accepted bubby on board, because she would like to learn about Vampire the Masquerade. She'll be playing a Gangrel neonate, that way any gaps in her knowledge IC-wise make sense, as she's not been one of the Kindred very long.<br><br>I also accepted Re Z L, and the interest check is now closed. I'll work on an IC post today, get people info they need, and hopefully get this moving just a tad.

				Gonna be on hiatus for at least a week, possibly more. Pretty ill, and not in a way where I can put something together more than a couple of paragraphs. For those of you that need stat sheets done, I still want you to PM me regarding that. I'll do my best to work with you.

				Partial update accomplished after a bout with insomnia. Hope it's not too scattered and disjointed--there are a lot of characters to account for, and I may have fucked up some details. Don't hesitate to call me out on it and ask me to correct or add something.<br><br>I still owe IC updates to Pumpkin Seeds and Andy Z, by the way.<br><br>EDIT: Also, there is a link to the IC in the initial OOC post. I thought I'd had that in, but I didn't. Now it's most definitely in. And to Wargtass and Finn, I would like to see introductions for each of you <em>within the next five days</em> in the IC. You're permitted to make your intro posts even if you don't have your statistics made (since I don't require a dice roll from you in the very introduction, something I let everyone know already).

				Gotcha, AndyZ. Sasha's IC update probably won't be within the next few hours, although I'm shooting to have a post written for you and Pumpkin Seeds' character Magdalena both within 24 hours.<br><br>EDIT: However, I'd like to add that I'm not promising. I'm still not feeling well, and only the fact I've been awake so long is contributing to my posts.

				The IC is now fully updated.<br><br>And just to let all of you know, I won't actually tell you your opponent's current health levels. You'll have to try to gauge that from the combat text you're given--so you'll know if you hit judging from what type of response I give you. I'm writing combat that way to keep it from being a set of numbers--to keep it interesting and fun. If you guys end up <em>really</em> wanting me to tell you the exact numbers of it, I will, but I like being able to set it up cinematically and letting you guys judge for yourself how effective you think you did.
