Tell Me About Your Characters

[propergoffick]

Forget about the pages of rules and the handfuls of dice. Close the book, turn out the lights, and tell me a story about dark desires and relentless hunger. Tell me about a vampire: about her talents and her weaknesses, and you tell me what kind of challenges she faces, what rewards or perils come her way.
-- Vampire: the Masquerade (Revised)

 

Since we're all new here: let's do what used to be not the done thing at all, when I was a lad. Tell me about your characters! Open your hatch and disgorge that nourishing vampire tea.

I like the sound of Isaac- was there a particular reason his sire was raising a child in preparation for an embrace, or was it more of a "to see if I can!" kind of deal?


Ares is also quite interesting- although if I've seen anything, that whole "running from the Giovanni" thing is probably going to come back to bite him (no pun intended).

"To see if I can." Isaac's sire was a bored-as-shit elder looking for something to make his existence interesting. Which meant Isaac was more of a pet than a son, and not a particularly well cared for pet. His sire would dote on him as long as it was fun. The moment it stopped being fun - like, say, when a kid is scared or sad or in some other sort of negative mood - Isaac was left to his own devices.

And yeah, running from the Giovanni was NOT a good plan. It did come back to bite him hardcore in the chronicle he was in. I have to post the recaps I did for that game on my journal here soon...

Ah, yeah, that sounds like a super Toreador thing to do. At least it seems to have turned out less-terribly than it might otherwise have!
