OOC: This is an RP based on the old World of Darkness, namely Vampire" The Masquerade. If you don't know about it, there are a bunch of resources online for you to get at least a decent background of it; if you just want to be a human of some sort, you probably don't even need that, it can add to the experience that you don't know anything about vampires.

I'll be somewhat of the storyteller here; Don't get me wrong, you can do what you want, but at least the basic rules should be followed, and anything special I ask of.

The game will be set in San Francisco, a Camarilla stronghold... for now, anyways.

If you want to be a vampire, find a clan you want to be a part of(no minor bloodlines, but caitiff is acceptable), and learn a bit about what powers they have(Disciplines). Also, while I don't need a full character sheet, I would like to have a basic idea of how your character is, so I ask you to tell me this:

Prioritize Physical, Mental, and Social prowess. There are three traits in each, and each trait can have 5 total points(all start with one point). The most important one gets 7 points to add, second gets 5, third gets 3. Copy the list below, and post it in your first post, saying how many points in each trait(add the one point each trait gets)

Physical-
Strength:
Dexterity:
Stamina:

Social-
Charisma:
Manipulation:
Appearance:

Mental-
Perception:
Intelligence:
Wits:

This will let me figure out the basic strengths and weaknesses of your character, each trait should be self explanatory. Other than these rules, its mostly free-form. I just ask that you play as a Neo-nate(fairly new vampire), no older than 12th generation. Don't make yourself all that powerful, or it just won't be fun. Other than that, have fun!

OOC2: My stats:

Physical- 5
Strength: 3
Dexterity: 3
Stamina: 2

Social- 7
Charisma: 3

I am a Ventrue, 13th generation vampire.

IC:

I can feel the hunger

The city lights flickered above her. San Francisco was quite vibrant and alive at night, a Kindred's best and only friend.

It burns...

"Yo dude, when the fuck are these guys gonna show up? Shit, I could be sleeping or sometin!"

An odd scene was playing out in a non-descript alley in the mission district. Five gang members lay waiting near their pickup truck, all eyes on the nondescript man in a very fancy suit. The man, back turned to the gangsters, began to speak.

"Shut up. They will show up, or they will be sorry."

The gangsters instantly stopped talking. Time slowly ticked, with the man in the suit growing impatient.

I must feed!

"I'll be back. You wait here, and do the deal, whether or not I'm here. Anything goes wrong, I will kill every one of you slowly." The man in the suit said. Putting on a helmet, she mounted a street bike, and left the alleyway.

The man was Raslin. Only known as Raslin. On the streets, she was considered a new-age mob boss, dealing in illegal weapons, drugs, and all sorts of activities. Despite her high prestige within Kine society, the Kindred saw her for what she really was; A puny new Ventrue, with dreams of grandeur.

But she maintained the Masquerade, and helped out the Prince and his men whenever they asked for it, though this wasn't often. While she didn't claim domain over anything but her house, she and the prince had an unspoken agreement that mission was her turf, as long as she kept it under control, didn't interfere with other vampires buisness, and always submitted to the wishes of the Prince.

Raslin was starting to feel the beast, and had to feed. She went looking for a meal, the clubs being the most likely spot, she thought.

After a little travel, she arrived at 'Club Tipx', a place she visited occasionally, but not enough for anyone to know what she had planned. The owners were under her control, and never did anything to hinder her feeding.

Raslin entered, the bouncer quickly pushing others out of the way for her. Looking around, the pool of potential blood-bags was good. She was a ventrue; only ate young blood, a refined taste indeed. But there were plenty of young people in this 18+ club. It would just take some looking around.

OOC: Yeah, you can be Sabbat. I'd prefer if they didn't get too many people, but go for it.

Excellent

I'll see if I can locate my two favorite characters. A Tzimisci plastic surgeon or a Setite priest with True Faith. I had hours of fun playing both and I am sure I can remake both to fit into this with your permission.

OOC: This is all good guys, looks like we will be having a lot of sabbat making a big mess in the city. Would like some people to start making Camarilla characters though, at least, so we can have some contrast.

Myrkul (better known as Murk or Mike)

14th Generation Vampire

Disciplines:
Potence- (Superhuman Strength)
Celerity- (Superhuman Speed)
Presence- (Superhuman Charisma)


Physical- 7
Strength: 3
Dexterity: 3
Stamina: 4

Social- 3
Charisma: 2
Manipulation: 1
Appearance: 3

Mental- 5
Perception: 3
Intelligence: 1
Wits: 4

IC:

Myrkul's eyes opened, tears streaking the side of his face and blood streaking his neck. He was crouched in an alley, and nearby, highly distorted punk music was being blasted by a typical, untalented band. Under him was a girl, no older than 16. Her neck, too, was streaked with blood. The wound on her neck was much more vicious than his, and it took him a second to wonder why.

Chris. That was her name. She'd gone out with Myrkul (though, she knew him as Mike) for a few weeks, happy to have a boyfriend that was so understanding, that was so much more mature than boys her age. Myrkul enjoyed the way she let him manipulate her, like no Kindred would. And, he supposed, that, deep down, he felt something like love for her. Which would explain the wound on his neck.

For the past few weeks, he'd managed to keep the Hunger calm around her, to keep it in check... but, tonight, as they walked through the alley, the Beast overwhelmed him, caused him to attack her and nearly rip out her neck as he drank, deeply. And after he was done, after the wellspring that was her carotid artery was dry, the love he'd felt for her on occasion touched him.

It caused him to take the small knife out of his pocket, slice his own neck, and pour some of his vitae into her open mouth.

Myrkul looked at her face as a mockery of life came back to it, and leaned back on his haunches. Her eyes slowly opened, and she whispered, "I'm hungry". Myrkul grinned and helped her up, and they went off in search of easy prey.

OOC: Siring(sp?) a childe without the princes consent? Risque :)

It didn't take them long to find prey. A kine had wandered off from the concert, and staggered down a nearby alley. The young man leaned against a wall, and urinated, humming drunkenly to himself all the while.

"This will be easy, Khrista," Myrkul whispered to his childe. "Simply walk up behind him, and bite him right here," he pointed out a spot on his neck right above the carotid artery. "Clench your teeth, rip back, and drink his blood."

Khrista nodded and slowly started forward, shaking from nervousness. She walked behind the man, and tried to bite his neck, but she was too slow and tentative about it. The man spun around, and blinked drunkenly.

"What the hell are you doing?!" he slurred, and hit Khrista in the face. She stumbled to the ground, and Myrkul, who had been watching from the shadows, sprung into action. He spun the man around, headbutted him, and punched him in the throat. The punch shut the man's trachea, and he clutched his throat, trying desperately to breath as he fell to the ground.

Myrkul turned to his childe. "You must not be tentative when you strike. Don't hesitate, just do it." He pointed to the dying man. "Now, drink." Khrista nodded, and immediately tore at the man's neck, drinking deeply.
