Vampire: The Masquerade OOC (Screaming not recommended)

Long ago, a man named Cain killed his brother Abel. For this, God punished him with a thirst for blood, forever having to cling to darkness, and immortality. Along with this curse came a beast which feeds on fear and anger in every vampire. Long after, in the modern nights of the twenty-first century, vampires (referred to as "kindred" by themselves) now pull the strings of the world around us. You take control as one of the creatures of the night; recently made or more tempered, it is up to you.

Character Sheets:

To each character sheet there will be a few qualities you must decide. Gender, name, generation, clan, alliance, personality, physical appearance, traits and style. Along with it should be how you deal with your inner beast.

Generation:
Generation is how far from Caine you are; second generation and third generation are all asleep, and most Modern Nights vampires are generation 8 and down. Around twelfth generation, vampires without any special powers are born and labeled "thin bloods", some rumored to be able to reproduce. The vampire you make will be a generation below you, the vampire that made you is a generation above you, and so on and so forth in both directions.

Clan:
There are Thirteen clans to choose from:
Assamite (Assassins, typically), Brujah (Warriors), Followers of Set (Worshipers of Set and serpentine), Gangrel (Animalistic, Giovanni (Necromancers), Lasombra (Shadow-warpers), Malkavian (Maniacs), Nosferatu (Ugly, warped, and sneaky), Ravnos (Criminals), Toreador (Charismatic beauty queens), Tremere (Blood wizards), Tzimisce (Flesh shapers), Ventrue (Kings, imperialists).
To each clan there are special abilities, to be later listed.

Alliance:
These are simple; The three major factions. The first are the Camarilla; they enforce vampire laws to uphold the "masquerade", thusly hiding from mortals. The second are the Sabbat; they want vampires to be known to all humans and essentially be proven better, making humans livestock. The last are the independents; They operate to their unique goals.

Personality:
This is essentially WHO your character is on an emotional level; how they'd react to certain situations. This can change rather easily or difficultly, depending on how naturally stubborn they are.

Physical Appearance and Traits:
How your character looks and anything special they have; tattoos, piercings, the like. Also anything emotional or mental, such as disorders or conditions.

Style:
This is how your character looks/dresses typically. Goth? Geeky? Suave? Their musical tastes and other things associated with certain cliques or groups in society would fit here.

The Beast:
Typically a struggle, some people choose to live in "harmony" with their beast, feeding it at some times while keeping a simultaneous control over it. Others become more humane than average humans, thusly sating it beyond almost all exsistance.

Here, a list of abilities exsist with the clans they're related to. I won't post specific powers for the sake of uniquity. You must use stored blood to USE these abilities.

Feeding
Quality over quantity; a rich person's blood feeds you faster than a bums, and thusly they drain slower.
You can create "ghouls" by feeding a human your blood at regular intervals.
Vampires are made by draining a human, then putting an ammount of your blood into the exsanguinated body.

Lovely. Will work on a sheet. Calling Alexander Anderson.

Name: Victor Bonadetti
Gender: Male
Generation: 7th
Clan: Giovanni
Alliance: Independent
Personality: Aggresive, arrogant, womanizing and altogether interesting in anything attractive and female.
Physical Appearance: 6'0" exactly, black hair, light grey complection. Lean to muscular. Brown eyes. Italian in descent.
Traits: Bipolarity (manic depressive), HLS (hyperactive libido syndrome), diamond stud earrings.
Style: Rich, clubber. Classical music.

This is how a good character sheet looks. BTDUBS all vampires are meant to be pale; closest you can get is this really weird grey that you get if you're chocolate or darker skinned.

UPDATE: You CAN agree to have a "sire" or "childe" in the OOC; this is a bond similar to a parent and child, though in some cases it leads to murder. The agreement must be on both sides, otherwise it's jackassery and godmodding.

I'd be interested (mainly from Marik Plays Bloodlines) but I'd like a little more detail on all the different clans.

Well, seeing as you know a bit from bloodlines it's a bit hard to put it. Really, more information can be found in this link http://whitewolf.wikia.com/wiki/Clan_(VTM) if you simply follow each seperate link following your interests.

Sorry I've been gone as I explained in Catalysts, I'll get working promptly.

Name: Kataryna Lupei. (Romanian for 'Pure Wolf').

Gender: Female. (Of course, because mwah).

Generation: Ninth.

Clan: Toreador. (Yup, these notes are gonna be here all over, like she will be...)

Alliance: Independent.

Personality: Well she's a bloody Toreador! (No pun, seriously, I said no!). You can't really expect much deviation from the crazy girl who just can't resist a good Piccaso or a Van Gogh.

Physical Appearance and Traits: Let's see now, she's got stark red hair, because who can't resist a reddie, I mean really? Scars running along her body, right from her irresistible neck right down to her ankles, beats permanent tattooing I guess, especially with all the lovely patterns that poor human gave her. Needless to say he didn't get much more than a look at her in the natural, and a mercifully quick death, without revival.

Style: Aim for the neck, grab the shoulders, trick the victim into assuming kiss which is replaced by bite. Jokes, leather leather leather! Anything that will grab the good blood, as long as it doesn't expose any of her upper chest. Hips prove to be more of an incentive from her experience. Oddly enough she is yet to watch The Matrix

Of course, being a Toreador, she's a real sucker for anything 'groovy'. Favourite hangout is a 70's themed restaurant after all, it's a good indicator that she's walked by if you've got 'Thriller' ringing in your ears. Just be sure to keep your distance if she begins the choreography...

The Beast: Beastly beast. She seems to keep it under control in general, being very specific as to who she picks off. ANYONE who has a T-Shirt for Michael Jackson might as well be her best friend, if you remember to always wear it while she's around that is. Uncontrollable thirsts are pretty rare for her, usually only coming when a pop revival concert is in town.

Powers Auspex, Celerity, Dominate, Presence and Serpentis. (For good measure you see).

((I won't have home internet back until the day after tomorrow, so I'm just gonna post in the IC before I have to go in anticipation of approval)).

Quick question, are we limited to the powers we get in our clan, or can we have more than those three, so long as it is not too many? o:

You CAN have more than three but you have to entirely drink all the blood of another vampire who has that power. i.e. for Serpentis, you'd have to drain a Follower of Set. o3o So other than that, yes you're approved Medokie.

Alright, I will begin my sheet. owo

Excellent; side note your characters ARE clinically dead. You have no pulse, your stomach DOES NOT digest food, nor do you have natural bladder type deals. o3o Sex no longer provides as much pleasure as it did when you were alive (no stimuli et cetera)

So, the majority of my post is irrelevant in the end.

No, a LOT of it was good you just added on extra abilities. Also why "obviously because mwah"? And they CAN have sex; they just don't enjoy it as much as some people do o3o no orgasms n stuff.

I have no idea to be honest. As for the abilities I'm just leaving options open and such, since she's a later generation I figured she would have more abilities, they'd just be weaker.

Nope; clans share the three powers. o3o if anything she'd be weaker in those.

Humm. :/

Name: Twitch
Gender: Male
Generation: 8th
Clan: Asamite
Alliance: Independent
Personality: He has an express interest in his own survival. He will keep himself alive and prosperous by any means necessary. He will kill, burn, etc. Woe are those on his bad side. His friends he regards highly.
Physical Appearance: He is five feet eight inches in height. He is lean, and not very muscular as a result. He covers as much skin as he can. He wears black jeans, combat boots, and a leather jacket.

Accepted because going from the norm but not ungodly too far.

Our of the norm? How?

Assamites have this caste and very familial thing; being on your own-ish makes you unique o3o

And dislike of cold is just a random thingy.

My guy's pretty much a Dean Martin look alike so fuckin' hell.

Well fuk. I've been seen.
*run like hell!*

Let's not spam this OOC.

What a coincidence, I am quite a big fan of 'Hunter: The Reckoning', which is also made by White Wolf. : D
