Vampire: The Masquerade-New Orleans By Night (Signups)

Ah, New Orleans, the so-called Big Easy, one of America's oldest cities and certainly one of its most intriguing, especially in the Gothic-Punk World of Darkness. A hotbed of vampires, ghosts, werewolves, magi, and other monsters, all hidden beneath the shadows.

It has been eleven years since Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, and the city has rebuilt, though it still struggles somewhat. However, for the vampires of New Orleans, the hurricane's aftermath offered both difficulties and opportunities for them. The old guard of vampire elders abandoned the city with haste shortly before the storm ravaged the city and since the city rebuilt itself, a host of vampires from various clans and sects have laid claim to this former Camarilla stronghold. Even a decade later, the Camarilla, Sabbat, Anarchs, and Independent Clans all lay their claim to New Orleans and continue to fight their wars anew to this day.

It is February, 2017 AD. The Mardi Gras festivities are upon the city and many flock to the French Quarter and other tourist traps in New Orleans, both vampire and mortal alike, and it is in the midst of the chaotic celebrations and partying that the fate of New Orleans and her citizens, whether they be living or undead, shall be decided.

Alright, this is a Vampire The Masquerade RP inspired by the recent Mardi Gras festivities earlier this week as well as by the prominence of New Orleans in vampire fiction. The tone of this RP can best be described as Southern Gothic with some minor anime influences and we will be using the character creation ruleset found in Mind's Eye Theatre: Laws of the Night Revised. Below is a link to the rules.

http://technosamurai.net/nobledjinn/Vampire%20MET%20-%20Laws%20of%20the%20Night.pdf

Now, do note that we are NOT using the metaplot in any way, shape, or form, so there are some key differences between what is mentioned in the rulebook and what is happening in the RP itself. Especially since the 20th Anniversary Edition of Vampire has retconned most of the metaplot and made the rest optional.

• Differences between the rulebook and the RP
  • The Gangrel are a Camarilla clan in this RP, NOT an Independent clan as listed in the book
  • The Week of Nightmares never happened, so the Ravnos are a full clan and not a mere bloodline
  • Everything else is the same as the book says, in regards to the Malkavian Disciplines and the Assamite weakness.

As for the RP rules itself, standard forum rules apply. Other than that, have fun!

The following clans and sects are playable.

• Sects
  • Camarilla
  • Sabbat
  • Anarchs
  • Independents

• Clans
  • Brujah
  • Gangrel

  • Nosferatu

Unlike last time I'll make a sign up sheet, and once again it will be of a Malkavian. I'll make it after lunch.

I dont know that much about Vampire the Masquerade; so before I get excited and dive into trying to build something. Would this be a issue? I have of-course read your opening post and I could read the rule book but as said, I am not really familiar.

It would not be an issue, I welcome newcomers regardless of experience. Go right ahead and create a character!

Intrigued. It's a bit late now and I'm not yet familiar with this variant of the rules, but I'll get back to you.

Broadstrokes, I'm thinking a somewhat condescending Nosferatu with a pet crocodile, trying to live out his unlife in the boonies, even as vampire politics keep upsetting his relaxed lifestyle.

• Name: Aiden Powles
• Clan: Brujah
• Sect: Camarilla
• Appearance: (Written description or picture are both equally valid)
  • [1] Ignore the sword and armor.
  • Stuck in the body of a child, Aiden Powles who admittedly is a rather new vampire (13th gen and all).Standing at a meager height of 4" 6" or 140cm tall, with fair skin unchanged from his living physique. Straight but a little spiky blond hair, eternally returning to the same haircut from the vamperism. He has cold blue eyes that almost seem to make others want to believe his little lies just a little more. Generally dressed in jeans, a unkept white creased shirt unbuttoned at the top, body warmer jacket (open not actually zipped up), with a pendant necklace around his neck.

  • Apartment: Laptop, changes of clothes, some extra cash, a 3/4 sized guitar (You get a long time to practice when your dead), bicycle (Since even with police 4 a ten year old driving a car would draw attention.), backpack, flashlight, more spare ammunition and a spare gun, more concealable combat knives, a custom sized concealable ballistic vest, (police 4 go, even if Aiden doesn't always wear it!), a baseball, soccer ball and a punching bag.

• Backstory:
  • Just over eleven years ago before the strike of Hurricane Katrina, Aiden was a regular nine-year old kid in almost every sense, he went to school, enjoyed sports, snuck out with friends to enjoy himself and well maybe this is a little less normal... He had a partial blood-bond with a vampire who fed from him as part of their herd. It was kinda nice feeling actually for Aiden though if that is because he actually liked it, the conditioning he was given or perhaps a dose of awe at the creature going by the name Mormand Blont.
    • Aiden had a older brother by the name of Matthew who he was very close to growing up. Two years older he was a idol and role model for the most part, even if he had a way of ignoring Aiden. He had no other siblings and his parents names were Christina and Andrew.
  • When Hurricane Katrina hit Aidens parents just choose to wait out the storm, he however made a different decision. Sneaking out in the middle of the night and across the city as the storm approached to where Mormand made his residence. Perhaps out of fear of the storm or perhaps the blood bond he waited there with him throughout the night and into the morning, having a final and likely the deepest feeding ever before the storm hit. As the storm struck right at the first rays of sunlight. Well Aiden does not remember a lot, he was weakened after the feeding and was tired spending the night moving with his Mormand to what he thought was a safe location for the storm. It turned out few locations were actually that safe. Within the absolute devastation of the storm and surges of the nights rain water Aiden likely should have died but possibly out of wanting to keep him for feeding or maybe his humanity Morman protected Aiden as best he could during the storm. Aiden surviving a little battered and injured but certainly alive and better than many, including Aidens mortal family who had perished in the storm.
  • Over the year Aiden while still part of his herd became a retainer of Morman who also in return became his acting guardian. Aiden beginning to learn about the world of vampires outside of Morman. Being sent on errands for him, especially to the police department where Morman had a contact and even being taught how to use some firearms. Upon his tenth birthday infatuated still by the weak blood blond Aiden was for reasons unknown to him and unasked offered the embrace. A decision maybe he should have decline in retrospect. The process had occurred behest to the elders who were scattered in the hurricanes rebuilding and not observing enough to monitor what was occurring and just allowed it hastily. The turning occurred deep into the night the beast being born.
  • Aiden was tutored under his Sire and slowly discovered animosity towards him from the other vampires. From his scheming and manipulation to change everything without the elders involvement to his power lust and deceit. He aided Aiden in getting his inheritance, how to manage it so he would have some form of income aided in establishing somewhere to hide himself. In addition Aiden managed to recover the necklace with the jeweled pendant which was originally his mortal brothers and he still wears at all times now. So while Aiden gained control over the beast, his powers and established the foundations for his future connections with him he also gained the lingering animosity give to his sire.
  • Perhaps two months after the embrace all of this change however, suddenly Aiden was released without context or warning as his sire turned coat from Carmarilla to join the Anarch seemingly overnight or if it was a long-term plan it was one Aiden hadn't picked up on. Regardless Aiden was left to the fangs and dangers of the world and from now even his own sect as they believed Aiden to be a traitor as well for some time. Yet Aiden had no knowledge of where his sire had gone and had loyalty to Carmarilla in him, taught by the very same man. It was a confusing and chaotic time to be sure. One where Aidens speed and minor combat training came to fruition, his tenacity to survive being the only reason he managed to endure long enough for one of the higher vampires, (perhaps even the prince) to order and have this onslaught stopped. The animosity of his sire still remains in the back of many of their minds however, believing Aiden will turn on a moments notice as well.
  • Currently Aiden has a rather moderate yet rather innocuous apartment he lives in north of the French Quater. He does not reside alone in said apartment instead with a pair of college students, one of which using the guise and claiming Aiden to be his little brother to help with the cover and masquerade. The pair plus a few of their friends nearby make up the herd; many of them almost craving the the ecstasy of Aiden's "kiss", admittedly the feeling is understandably mutual. All of whom are more than happy to keep the masquerade and even some minor errands for the thrill and rush of it. (Nothing major, they are certainly not retainers just non-dangerous things like making a daytime delivery or getting something he is "too young" to purchase for example.) Even if none of them have yet stood out enough and are loyal enough to be called retainers or make into ghouls. (Perhaps later in the story?) Conveniently one of the in students in his apartment "Caiden Reaves" is almost a nocturnal individual; up throughout most of the night gaming and eating pizza while the other "Thomas Tonell" is on a more regular schedule. Those two alone with their friends and other members of the herd often coming to the apartment building means there is a high chance of someone being around and conscious in the haven. In one sense a worrying thought but on other, always someone on watch.

• Initial list of goals, ambition and objectives:
  • Discover what happened to his sire, why he changed sides like he did.
  • Try and change the opinions and earn greater respect within Camarilla.
  • Secure further connections, contacts and favors within the local police force.
  • Gather further monetary resources. Who doesn't want money?
  • Defend and maybe grow his herd, so he doesn't need to go hunting regularly or risk the beast.
  • Grow in power and master his discipline of Celerity.
  • More will naturally arise in response to these being completed or events that occur throughout the game.

Edit: So adding backstory and stuff and decided to change influence 2 with university to 2 herd to represent the spread out amount of mortals who have managed to convince and get addicted to the kiss. Between the immediate room mates and their further away friends it feels like a decent supply. Also hope you like he fact I am taking full advantage of the setting and the big event mention in the opening. Did a little research to discover it was actually raining and at like six-something AM it occurred. Added goals and split inventory between two locations.

Cool, took me a few tries to get a character I was happy with. As I said before never used any of the vampire systems before, and the lore I am only slightly familiar.

Want me to add my ideas for history here?

Sure, go ahead

Is there anything I need to change about mine?

I haven't RP'd in a while (thanks to my research internship and steam sales) but I can't resist a Vt M RP. I'll try and make a sheet today-ish. I'm thinking I'll go for a Gangrel...

This character sheet is a work-in-progress. If it looks a bit full in some areas, it's because when I make characters I tend to choose broadly, then narrow down to what I really want to spend my points on.

Will update this as I work on it.

EDIT: Also, two clarifications I'd like: Does the mandatory Repugnant-trait for Nosferatu also provide bonus traits for other things or is there no trade-off? And if I take Retainers as a Background can it be in the form of a ghoul-ed animal?

Usually the repugnant thing doesn't give you free points as a Nosferatu. I think so anyhow...

edited 15th Feb '16 9:09:58 PM by Lt.BGob

Sorry to double post, here's what I've finished of my character sheet. I'll finish up the backstory and goals, etc. later (either tonight or tomorrow) and probably do some editing. Let me know if it's alright so far!

• Name: Katherine Baker

• Clan: Gangrel

• Sect: Camarilla

• Appearance: Katherine Baker, preferring to be addressed as Kate rather than anything more formal, was only 22 at the time of her embrace in the early 70's and as such has retained her youth despite the years. She is approximately 6 feet tall with a graceful but well toned body like that of a dancer or acrobat. Ms. Baker is light-skined but a little ruddy in complexion. Her fingers and limbs are long and dexterous, a few light scars here and there from brawls long past and calluses on her finger tips from countless hours of music practice. She is a little on the flat-chested side but still quite feminine in a more tom-boyish fashion. Her face is rather pretty and well proportioned though not terribly remarkable aside from her slitted, cat-like yellow eyes and a distinctly carnivorous set of teeth. These bestial traits came about as a result of previous frenzies but Kate does not feel shame for them and is largely at peace with 'the beast'.

• Kate usually tries to keep her mouth closed as much as possible, or at least only opened shallow enough to speak when around mortals or the highly strung and dons a pair of dark tinted, teashades (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunglasses#/media/File:Teashades.gif) when in town. The major exception to these rules is during performances, in certain clubs or in vampiric company as few notice or care in these circumstances. Especially with the kinds of bands she prefers to play with, such looks almost expected in certain genres. Kate usually wears old, blue jeans and a white or black T-shirt under a brown or black waistcoat and a particularly dilapidated, worn set of leather shoes. She tends to avoid other colours as she cannot easily distinguish between them. While she has her long and unruly brown hair down in the wilderness she often neatly hides it beneath a tweed, brown flat-cap in towns. She retains a slight Melbourne accent though subtle enough that most can't place her as Australian, just 'foreign'. Most mortals feel uncomfortable in her presence, if only on a subconscious level - a feeling like you've just realised the 'stuffed' tiger in the room is alive, hungry and ate the key to the door.

  • Backstory
• Katherine Baker was born in Melbourne, Australia around 1952 as the youngest of three children and the only girl. Her family were not particularly well off but not poor either, her father had served as a radar technician in the last World War and used this to gain a better education, hence a better paying job. Her mother was pianist and Kate, as well as her brothers, thus gained a passion and talent for music early in life. Her mother taught her musical theory and, as Kate had a then somewhat odd interest in percussion and the bass, managed to get her the occasional lesson in them. In school she participated in band but, as such institutions were both misogynist and soul crashing, had to fight for a position and to play the ‘masculine’ instruments she preferred.

• Her parents were supportive but often had to struggle to pay the bills and for their children, Katie starting a part time job to ease the strain at an early age. In the little spare time she had she was either practicing music or bushwalking, always having a love for nature and exploration. She was always reasonably athletic and walked practically everywhere, often wearing out her shoes in a matter of months or weeks and constantly in trouble for the state of her uniform. In that time teachers were still allowed to use the strap and cane but, when ‘disciplined’ one too many times she had enough and plainly told the last offending teacher, “Touch me with that again and I’ll belt you so hard in the mouth you’ll be shitting teeth for a month.” Kate the proceeded to show him she wasn’t bluffing, landing her in suspension but miraculously not expelled. And, most importantly, she never got the strap again.

• Kate taught herself throughout much of school and when she left at 18 formed an eclectically styled band with some friends, playing double bass and writing songs. They began to get a few gigs, eventually gaining a good audience but the Australian record industry was hard to get into. They saved up what money they could and set off for America. Chasing gigs they found themselves playing for peanuts in New Orleans, Louisiana. After a while Kate came to suspect someone was watching or stalking her and her band, often seeing a familiar ominous shadow in alleys or red eyes amongst the crowds. The others thought she was just being paranoid or it was simply a creepy fan. In the early months of 1974, a moonlit night after a gig Kate had her fears confirmed and more. A trio of men took issue with the band outside the club, strange and wild looking men. They were young, cocky Sabbat and felt like tormenting some mortal cattle for their evening pleasure. They killed Kate’s bandmates and nearly did the same to her, but she wasn’t going down without a fight. Fueled by determination to survive and adrenaline she fought them off with surprising success, but they had the upper hand and were still toying with her.

• Whether to her fortune or doom, is turned out that the one that was following her for so many nights was not one of these men. It was a powerful Gangrel ancilla of the Camarilla sect, a vampire of animalistic spirit and had targeted her for their embrace. Sabbat disruptions were not to be tolerated, slaughtering the three neonates. Kate attempted to flee but the man was too fast and her struggles did little but amuse the vampire before the embrace. She was then left to fend for herself, confused and alone in New Orleans for months before her sire approached her. Finally, now that she had ‘proven herself’ the vampire, a Cajun by the name of Dirk de Blanc, undertook the task of mentoring her in the ways of her clan. While initially resentful of the man who had taken her life and then left her remains to wander the night, to say the least, Kate came to accept and respect de Blanc.

• Kate quickly mastered the arts of her clans and took to the night well, becoming a fearsome hunter in her own right. Dirk de Blanc took his leave after only a year, to wander as Gangrel so easily did. She herself was a bit more of a home body by clan standards, taking residence is the barest remains of a house at the edge of New Orleans – little more than a basement beneath rubble and the embrace of the land’s flora. After news of her band’s brutal murder had died down she began to venture into the city once more, to indulge in the music. She occasionally takes it upon herself to mentor the confused and abandoned neonates of the city, even those of other clans should they impress her but largely avoids Camarilla society.

Ok, I've nearly finished the sheet and I changed around the stats a little. Any idea when we'll be starting the RP proper?

Most likely this afternoon or tomorrow morning at the absolute latest. Sorry for being gone for so long, had some issues to attend to.

Forgot to post about it, everything look good with the extension to my character sheet?

Can I get some help on my character sheet? I'm having some trouble finding some of the traits for my character.

That's cool, man - I've been busy myself.

@watdakstomp I'm happy to help with traits and what not.

edited 19th Feb '16 10:20:53 AM by Lt.BGob

I know that his personality would be more defined, since he is a Malkavian he would have some kind of mental illness or is at the very least very insane. But anyway since he is a Malkavian does he get some kind of special mental traits also? Or would those go under the negative traits?

Ah, a their clan weakness is only the mental illness and not necessarily any other mental traits. You can add more mental traits to better define your character, negative traits as well (particularly if they are a result of the illness, they can be good for roleplaying purposes). But, that's not required for a Malk. If you want to hash out any particular traits or such for a character idea do tell.

The general idea of Malkavians is that they are trade off their sanity for insight into reality, but my main tip is that you should play a person with a mental illness - not the mental illness. If that makes sense.
