* NaiveNewcomer: Tom is ''very'' newly embraced, and is the trigger for many an [[Infodump exposition dump]]. Amanda is pretty new to the vampire scene as well, but she hides it much better than Tom does.


Added DiffLines:

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Betty is quick to point out that the decision to [[spoiler: set a very hungry Gravenstein on the Anarchs that were closing in on the group]] was a tactical maneuver that had a great amount of thought put into it, rather than an act of cowardice.

sillier with the player characters making many more out of character jokes and pop culture references.

The premise is four vampires are forming an impromptu coterie at the behest of the Ventrue Elder Fionrenza. [[NoodleIncident After a failed mission in Montreal]], they have been sent on a mission involving a mysterious trunk and a torporous elder.

The player characters consist of:

* Jamison Keen (as played by Jerry Holkins): A arrogant Nosferatu with a taste for fine clothes and larceny.
* Amanda Booker (as played by Dora Litterell): A SpoiledSweet DaddysGirl Tremere who is irrationally treated as an expert on the occult.
* Tom Hollandaise (as played by Mike Krahulik): A recently-Embraced tattoo artist and junk food addict.
* Betty (as played by Creator/JasmineBhullar): A former Prohibition bootlegger that serves as TeamMom.

!! Seattle by Night provides examples of the following tropes:

* Acrofatic: Tom is a Brujah with Celerity and a bit on the chunky side.
* ASimplePlan: They are supposed to recover a torporous elder on a derelict ship and it turns into a ComedyOfErrors as everyone's plans pile up on one another.
* DaddysGirl: Amanda is so devoted to her father that she actually hears her Beast as his voice encouraging her to feed.
* DumbBlonde: Averted with Amanda. Despite looking like a stereotypical Valley Girl, she has multiple academic specialities.
* NoodleIncident: The mission in Montreal that apparently ended up with a bunch of bodies.
* ProperlyParanoid: The player characters have a package they're meant to deliver X-rayed. [[spoiler: It contains a staked vampire body.]]
* SharpDressedMan: Jamison is one of these despite the fact that he's a Nosferatu.
* SkeweredPriorities:
** Tom hates being a vampire because he can't keep any new tattoos for more than a night.
** Betty is more worried about her suit being ruined than accomplishing the mission.
* UriahGambit: Fiorenza is overheard saying that she doesn't expect any of the team to survive their mission but she ''explicitly'' doesn't want Betty to survive.
