I'm going to join soon I just have to make a character sheet, so I should have it up by at least tomorrow.
The man of a million outdated referencesExcellent
I have interest. Just let me read through and I'll have a sheet up.
Also expressing an interest, I'll look through the rules and see what I come up with. Probably a Mage.
Can I ask how all the splats are interacting? Like are we going to be a group or...
It's really up to the players as I am taking a sandbox approach in the early phases of the RP
Name: Zander (zun-der) van (fun) der Walt (Valt)
Gender:Male
Apparent Age: 27
Appearance: He dyed his hair, just because he likes silver.
Source Material: Original Character
Venue: Mage
Clan/Tribe/Tradition/Kith: Order of Hermes
Sect/Faction/Court: Orphan
Personality: Zander is an easygoing, if dedicated man. He's intelligent, but not condescending with it, preferring to help people with his knowledge. He has a drive for learning new things, more at home learning than speaking with others. A self-admitted bibliophile, he's got a particular interest in languages. However, he never does learn from his mistakes, and can be quite stubborn when it comes to things. He can be overly proud at times, and is easily distracted by any book around him that he hasn't read. Still, one won't find a more loyal, tolerant and curious person with a wealth of knowledge. He has perfectionist tendencies, and constantly beats himself down for mistakes and failures.
Bio: Born in the Kwa Zulu Natal area in South Africa, Zander always did have an upper hand due to the apartheid regime, having a better education than most. Still, in secret, he despised the regime, seeing it as blatantly unfair to others that were also human beings on the sole basis of skin color. After he graduated, he went and studied a course in linguistics, becoming a lecturer at the Wits University. One day, studying through a linguistics textbook, he Awakened. Rather than be surprised or shocked, he relished the whole new area of study open to him. In particular, he enjoyed the order and tradition of the Order of Hermes, and so he follows their teachings.

I hate to double post, but I will be posting my character very soon, but I have to run some errands first. Watch this space.
I currently in finals week but I will make a character soon. So sorry for the delay.
The man of a million outdated referencesIt's alright. I got delayed myself
Alright, this is the signup thread for a new role-play based on White Wolf's Old World Of Darkness setting, set in the fictional city of Empire City (essentially a No Communities Were Harmed version of New York City) during an unspecified point in The '90s. This is mainly an OC RP, BUT I will allow for crossover characters as well.
For all those familiar with the OWOD setting, make note of this following paragraph. We will NOT be using the metaplot from Revised Edition in any way, shape, or form, so for those hardcore WOD veterans familiar with said metaplot, do remember that Gangrel are still in the Camarilla, the Ravnos are a full clan, the Stargazers are still in the Garou Nation, there was no Red Star, no Week of Nightmares, no Avatar Storm, or any other apocalyptic Revised Edition shenanigans.
We will be using the Mind's Eye Theatre rules for character creation and I will post links to the PDF's of the rulebooks for reference in character creation. We will be using the following rulebooks and gamelines....
The gameline Demon The Fallen is explicitly non-canon in this setting, while Kindred Of The East, Mummy The Resurrection, Hunter The Reckoning, and Wraith The Oblivion are fully canon but for NPC's only. (If I can find a link to PDF's of Reckoning and KOTE's Mind's Eye Theatre rulebooks, I will allow Kuei-Jin and Imbued to become fully playable.)
As for player options, you can be an original character (the default assumption) or if you want to play a character from another work, you can do that, but you must fit them into the context of a creature or mortal of the Old World Of Darkness.
The following splats and factions are playable....
All player characters are assumed to be basic starting-level characters such as neonate vampires, Rank 1 werewolves, and newly awakened mages.
Now, as for the rulebooks, here's what all we will be using.
Now, as for the rules of the RP, here's what is what...
As for a character sheet, I will be posting a basic frame for your character sheet and you can fill in the rest with the character creation rules in the PDF's I just linked in this thread.
From here you can post the mechanical details of your character such as attributes, abilities, merits and flaws, backgrounds, Disciplines, Gifts, etc.
