Not sure, will have to do more extensive research, as I am new to the Mythos

Well if you need help handling any aspects of it you can call on me. I like to consider myself an expert in all things Lovecraftian.

Excellent
Now I need to roll up a character myself.
Interest in doing a Agent Mulder character!
Anime Disco Inferno
Awesome, I will probably play a biker character. Not sure if he will be Camarilla or Sabbat.

That is an interesting and original concept. I like it.

Not sure if I got everything right (I've only played Wo D twice before but both times were tabletop) but here goes. Lemme know if anything needs the ol' changer-roo.
- Name: Simon Skelton
- Gender: Male
- Appearance: The most striking feature of Simon is his deathly white skin, which has earned him the moniker of "The Skeleton" by some mortals. The name is catching, even amongst some of his fellow Kindred. He is also quite boney and his face is marred by what appear to be nasty acne scars but are the result of his Embrace. His eyes can be somewhat confusing as they are simultaneously a dull milky blue but also ablaze with passion. He adores wearing fancy clothes as they are his only control over his... "lackluster" appearance, as he calls it. He seldom smiles but is rarely found frowning, his face resting on a neutral, if somewhat excited, expression. Always carries an inhaler with him, although his asthma stopped being an issue after his Embrace. He walks with a noticeable limp, his left leg not as responsive as he’d like it to be but supports it with his cane.

Though there is nothing wrong with being transgender

Of course not. Was just wondering is all. Cause syntax.

Once we get one or two more people, we'll get the RP thread up!
EDIT: Actually, I think we have enough people to start this RP. I will start the RP today.

Ah, the sleepy town of Salem, Massachusetts. If ever there was a town full of dark secrets, this would be it. From the well-known witch trials of the 17th Century to lesser known eldritch lore and occult mysteries, Salem and indeed, Essex County as a whole, is a hotbed of dark intrigue.
Welcome to Lovecraft Country, enjoy your stay.....
Okay, this RP is a crossover of Callof Cthulhu and Old World Of Darkness, especially Vampire The Masquerade. This RP will start out with Vampires and Mortals being playable, though I may allow other supernatural creatures such as Werewolves, Mages, Faeries, and the like become playable much later.
The setting is Salem, Massachusetts (and by extension, Essex County) at an unspecified point in The '90s. The year is 199X, Bill Clinton is president, the internet as we know it is in its infancy, the original Playstation is king of the consoles, and the economy is booming for now. The Cold War is over and The War on Terror is off in the distance for now. For mortals in America, this is a time of prosperity. But beneath the surface of these good times lies something sinister and unthinkable.
The system is a custom system drawing from both the tabletop and LARP versions of Vampire. If you're not familiar with either system, that is fine, this custom system will be explained in the post and be fairly easy to grasp.
For core reference, the bulk of the actual mechanics (such as disciplines and traits) will come from the book Laws of the Night Revised Edition
http://technosamurai.net/nobledjinn/Vampire%20MET%20-%20Laws%20of%20the%20Night.pdf
Above is a readable pdf you can check out for the disciplines and clan advantages. Some of them will be explained in this post, but not all of them. Ignore metaplot fluff such as Gangrel being listed as an independent clan (In this RP, they are still Camarilla, if you must know).
An important thing to note is that we will NOT be using the metaplot in any way, shape, or form. So Gangrel are still in the Camarilla, the Ravnos are a full clan, and none of those apocalyptic Revised Edition shenanigans have happened yet(nor will they happen at all).
The gamelines Kindred Of The East and Demon The Fallen are explicitly non-canon in this RP. So in other words, Kuei-Jin and Fallen do not exist in this iteration of the World of Darkness.
Now onto the RP details. For now, only vampires and mortal humans will be playable. That may change down the line, but for now let's just focus on vampires and mortals.
The following sects and clans are playable...
As for mortals, there's the following organizations they can belong to....
Okay, as for the systems, here's what we're using. Vampires get five extra freebie traits to spend, Mortals get ten.

Mortal Signup Sheet
Key Attribute Traits
Key Ability Traits
For Trait Costs, Disciplines, Clan Weaknesses, and Clan Advantages, refer to the pdf I linked in the opening post.
