[Cherico]

Over all....

Today has been kind of a lousy day for you, and as you open your eyes you cant help but sigh as you notice the chains around your body the coffin your in is being wheeled over some where and darkness is falling. The prince of the city is going to have a look why because you did some thing to piss people off you try to spend time thinking about history you know to pass the time.


For want of a nail options! Pick one

(X) The betrayal of Cappidocian- The leader of the clan was planning another purge of his kindred, they were so terrified that they contacted tremer and helped him dialbarize their clans founder. The loyalists were purged and the rebels bowed before the new leader and the new clan tremer

effect- Clan Salubri still exists, Clan Givovani does not
Bonus- The world of vampires is a little less overtly evil
Minus- The vampire world tolerates less evil

(X) The 300- There are only 300 hunters in the world that's a good thing the down side is that their basically all immortal reincarnating sun gods who want to murder you

Bonus- There are only 300 hunters world wide so your chance of running into them is low.
Minus- Their solar exalted so if you run into one your basically dead.

(X) The great compromise- Most of the technocracy didn't like the Nazi's at all, but the new world order went all in... the Syndicate decided they had enough of this nonsense and betrayed the new world order. A compromise was made with the traditions and the new world order was slaughtered to a man. The syndicate now stands as the leaders of the awakened and magic is slowly coming back to the world as the great compromise changes the concensious.

Bonus- More supernatural stuff and higher tecnology
Minus- your enemies can use that stuff too.


The wheels stopped why are you here why are you about to be judged.

The prince of the city studies you.

"Tell me what you know of the world."

The other vampires stare at you.

"There are three major fractions of vampire society, the Camarilia, the Sabat, and the Kuei-jin. The Camarillia is composed of Clan Ventrue, Tremere, Malkavian, Brujha, Toreador, Nosferatu. When the two were created the milatant and healer fractions of clan Salubri split with the healers going over to the Camarillia."

"Continue."

"The Sabat is composed of clans Lasombra, Assamite, followers of set, Tzimisce, Gangrel, Ravnos and the milatent wing of clan Salurbri. The Camaerilla controls portions of europe, the americas, the carabian, australia, and various out posts. The Sabat controls portions of europe, the middle east, India, and most of africa. The Kuejin control most of east asia."

The prince shakes his head.

"Why do you think you have been called here?"

"I must have failed you and the masquerade you have my apologies sir."

You look around expecting glitz and glamor and suits you know that the man is a ventrue but instead of suits and bondage wear most of the vampires are actually dressed pretty casually. The ventrue wears black slacks, and a rolled up collared shirt.

"Well....there has been a masquerade violation but its less that you committed it and more that you were its victim."

He looks over your file.

Gender
(X) Male
(X) Female
(X) Non binary
(X) helechoper

Ethnicity
(X) White
(X) Asian
(X) Black
(X) Multi racial

And sighs.

"You are not a vampire."

"But sir."

"No you are not, though you have lived as one for three months now...you have been the target of a Malchavian prank one that violates the masqurade."

He frowns.

"Normally I would have your memories removed, killed or have you turned into a ghoul but unfortantly these are not good times....the city is lets face it dying, there are a collection of tasks that need to be done and well their sucide missions."

You blink.

"Your old name is gone, your new name is Zero, your job will be to perform those tasks....I am sorry but we need some one expendable and your basically the most expendable person we have."

"Im honored."

"You really shouldn't be, that said I'm not completely heartless I will allow you a honor that most vampires never get you will be allowed to choose your clan."

The prince of the city looks at you and nods.

"Bruha."

One of the seven vampires raises an eyebrow.

"You will have to be careful, to control your temper to control your passon's."

"Our passions make us strong."

"They have also led to disaster in the past."

"Bah, we have fought for a better tomorrow and have helped topple dictatorships and tyranny and."

"Russian revolution."

The other's grimace at their princes words.

"That was an honest fuck up...and we learned our lesson after that."

The man looks at you and sighs.

"Mind following me Zero."

"My name is."

"Please dont....we don't want to get attached to you cant afford to get attached to you."

You sigh.

"My chances are that low."

The man shruggs.

"Yeah...."

"Surprised the prince is well another brother."

"Oh that...yeah dont be there are lots of brothers who are princes, the camarella values ability more then anything else and bob."

You stare at him.

"Yes his name is bob is alright for a prince."

"So what am I suposed to do?"

"The last prince the one we had before Bob was this prick named Lacrox he was a disaster.."

"And?"

"He was put in charge of La and he's dead now....no great loss point is were here trying to clean up his mess, you have a collection of 7 problems to solve, once you solve them your status of zero is gone and your a part of the communiy."

You nod your head.

"All right so as a bruha your powers will be celerity which lets you move really fast, Presence which is basically super charisma, and Potence which is basically super strength...."

You nod your head.

"Speaking of that whats my goal."

"Well um....you know about the sabat?"

"They have seven clans like us?"

"Yeah....their basically stormfront for vampires and Lacrox screwed up so bad that their kind of now in charge of the city."

You grimace.

"Yeah...so your going to have to deal with that...."

You feel him bite you and everything goes dark.

@Sailor.X Just pinging you here to see if my proposal loosely based on what I know about you is alright.

 

[Urabrask Revealed]

Quick question, do talents and misstalents exclude each other, or can we pick them anyway?

Quick question, do talents and misstalents exclude each other, or can we pick them anyway?

With experience you can bring up your weakness's or make yourself stronger, this is about your stats.

In your low stats you start out with 1s below average but not crippled.
In medium you start out with 2s which is average.
High is 3s above human average.

Lets take agents vote.

If he wins.

The charaters a guy who's kind of quiet.

He wasn't the most attractive guy, cant manipulate people cant read a room for the life of him. So he focused on solitary stuff and got into sailing. Making home maid rafts, rowing boat that sort of thing. The kind of thing that builds up your mussle. So he got buffer, built up his stamina, and when he needed to move man he can move.

Quiet guy, but real smart were talking always the smartest person at his school smart, so he graduates school valivictorian and gets ready to go to colleges but he doesn't get accepted. People take a look at him and think he's dimmer then he is, or they don't think he's a 'good fit' for their little school. He has more then enough brains to make it but he cant negiotiate the politics and so he doesn't get the scholarships that the less qualified people get and has to make money in the docks on the ships. Its not so bad. He works alone keeps to himself and one day he gets unucky and an Malkavian decides this guy would be a great mark.

So yeah your vote determines a lot about you.

So essentially, a heavily nerfed version of the guy I was inspired by? Well, I guess being as awesome as him would be overpowered.

 

[Urabrask Revealed]

So yeah your vote determines a lot about you.

Yes, but my question was more like: "Can I take these traits, even if they seemingly exclude each other?
(X) Social talents are what your good at

It was a pretty lousy moment....dying I mean.

Apparently the Tremer wanted to try out some kind of experiment, and since hey your probally going to die either way why not experiment right?

You expected a light or darkness but instead theres pain and then you find yourself in a hallway its dark and its covered in mirrors each one represents a memory a piece of your life, you stare at a one mirror and see yourself as a child dodgeball only the teams arnt even...actually its just you you against the rest of the class.

"Your going down urkel!"

Your nickname....come to think of it no one ever really uses your name not even your parents. It was a nickname that stuck, and the start of the bullying.

( Gained dodge 2)

You walk down and see another mirror, your down on the ground, its 3 against 1, why because you decided to study for class and got an A...some thing breaks and you fight back you lose of course too many of them and its really the first time you fought them but you get in one good punch to the ring leader.

(Gained brawl 2)

You see another image, your family doesn't have enough money for a computer and you know the libraries throwing away the old ones, you grab them from the dumpster and bring the slightly busted computer back home, you see yourself trying to fix it your in 3rd grade and your fixing a computer.

(Gained computer 3 repair 3 )

Another mirror , your being accused of cheating again, you didn't do it Chris Chan's parents are overbearing assholes a part of you sympathsies with him, but he cheated off you. The principle tells you that he's going to kick you out you demand to take the test again. Demand chris takes it again.

The principle glares at you and gives you a chance, the 100% you got and the 50% Chris got that tells the right story Chris crys and the principle gives him a hug and tells him he needs to do his own work. He doesn't apologize to you, and in fact you get a weeks detention for disobediance chris? He gets off scot free because he's a good kid.

Its not because your black though its because your not one of the popular kids, one of the rich kids. Prick.

Another mirror your school valivictorian, you get ready to give a speech you have earned this moment the principle who accused you of cheating pushes you out of the way. The school laughs as he gives a comment about ending the graduation early because its hot and they want to party.

You earned that speech and he took it away from you, then you start looking for scholarships and get a big load of nothing, because they want to talk to people and your not that good at it. You get nothing your parents kick you out and you get a job at the docks.

You expected to be shit on at the docks every one else has right? But that doesn't happen, the docks are deverse white, latino, black asians as long as you work hard theres a place for you, and your willing to work nights. Captian teaches you how to sail, the others help. They find out your good at fixing stuff and computers. You earn money as a side gig working on those things for the docks.

19 years old, you've saved some serious money the sailors tell you about police auctions you walk out of one with a boat a house boat, two stories apparently it was owned by some banger guy had it suped up, then he got caught and he died in jail. You see your life turning around.....

"Fuck."

(Gained sailing 1)

You come to the end of the hallway and open the door, inside you see a woman with middle eastern features.

"None of this is real."

You blink.

"Pretty sure thats my line."

You notice that your in a garden its dark but some how peaceful.

"Hmm."

She looks at you.

"You have become nothing."

You feel slightly insulted.

"I um..."

Her accent you cant trace it.

"Your not like him.... I guess some would take that as an insult."

You feel confused.

"This whole ritual was about making your blood closer to his after all."

"So this."

"They failed."

She leans back, she's beautiful in a way her eyes look sad.

"Epically really I'm impressed."

"I...."

You freeze.

"Why cant I remember my name?"

"I claimed it of course, as payment by the way my name is Lilith."

You stare at her blankly.

"Right....you know just enough to get yourself in trouble but not enough to truly know anything. Regardless I now own your name."

"But I didn't agree to give it up."

"People just seem to take a lot of things from you with out asking don't they?"

You clench your hands that hit a little close to home.

"But it is rare for people to arrive in my garden....hmm tell you what there is a vampire in your city."

"Can you be more specific?"

"A Lasombra she's been murdering little girls in my name....I'm honestly a little um how do you say it absolutely infuriated by that...if you could be a dear and agree to kill the bitch I'd be willing to gift you a boon...and well since I took your name from you I supose its fair to pay upfront but I really do want her dead."

"Um ok."

"Right."

She claps her hand together.

"Now, I like the number three best number out there so three options pick one and that will be your boon."

pick one

(X) The boon of high blood- Start as a 7th generation vampire
(X) The boon of enlightment- You have achieved Golconda you no longer frenzy and need half as much blood your vampire budda and that means something
(X) The boon of light- Sunlight just makes you feel tired and irratable it doesn't do any physical damage to you
(X) Refuse- You didn't agree to any of this, you didn't ask to come here and defiantly don't want to be anyones pawn.

 

[Hlaalu Agent]

(X) The boon of enlightment- You have achieved Golconda you no longer frenzy and need half as much blood your vampire budda and that means something

Plan, Vampire Morgan Freeman is a go.

 

[Cherico]

(X) The boon of enlightment- You have achieved Golconda you no longer frenzy and need half as much blood your vampire budda and that means something


Lillith raises an eyebrow.

"Not what I expected."

"How so?"

"A chance to bask in the sun? To feel its kiss on your face again, raw power? Instead you choose enlightment."

She pauses.

"You really are very much unlike that man."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"Being unlike caine? Its both a good thing and a bad thing."

She leans back and snaps her fingers, you scream as the pain fills your head, and you wake up and smack your face into your coffin.

"Owe."

You fiddle around and find a latch, and open the coffin, a man sits in the darkness, and then you notice that his face is burned up and looks horrible.

"Oh you woke up."

He has a slight irish accent.

"Yeah."

"You must be the new zero I was told about, I'm paddy."

He helps you out of the coffin and you crack your neck.

"Right so....first things first thanks."

"Why?"

"Had some money that you would live most people bet that you would die so I bet the other way to be contrary and all, made a good 500 dollars off of you waking up."

"Um glad to help?"

"Right so, good news and bad news, your being sent on a series of seven sucide missions."

You grimace.

"Seven?"

"Aye seven, and your not allowed to get help from kindred, or ghouls, or blood dolls or any other assorted allies."

"Why?"

"Because the prince thinks your going to die and doesn't want to risk our lives...."

You feel like shit.

"hates me that much?"

"It would be easier if he did, he doesn't he's given you a stipend out of his own pocket, and is willing to pay for your weapons, information, equipment, housing and of course blood. The prince acts like a hard man but he's a softy and he feels for you?"

"Im basically nothing."

"Yes, you are but the prince started out as a number too, um what we call the guys tasked with the sucidal stuff, he even gave you his old number."

"Zero."

"Right, so I guess I should break it down, The city is currently held by the sabat."

"The bad guys?"

"Were vampires were all by defintion bad guys but um well let me put it this way, were the Italian mafia to their nazi germany. Were not good but we are the lesser of two evils and thats some thing."

"So the mission."

"Right back to that, The arch preistiest of the Tzimisce is named Zuri Du fort, we want her dead because she murders children for her batshit religion."

"Let me guess she worships lillith?"

"Got it in one boyo! Second is the duke of the city a Lasombra named Sasha."

"Girl?"

"Boy loves guns, a lot, he's in charge of keeping the sabat well armed and does just too good of a job. Last one is an Asamite name Rasheed, he controls their assasins....we have no idea where he is."

"....thats not good."

"Your proper fucked because it gets worse. The werewolves are hunting us the prince either wants you to destroy them or find a diplomatic solution."

"And?"

"Their rage fueled murder machines with magic powers."

You blink.

"shit."

"Oh it gets worse boyo, theres a group of mad scientists callen themselves the sons of either, you have to ether reach an accord with them or kill them."

"How bad is it."

"They have death rays and killer robots."

"Anything else?"

"Group of martial artists with magic powers, right now their killen all the kindred we want them to either focus on the far worse guys or."

"Dead."

"Last one...?"

"We have a litteral demon problem boyo and thats a bit of a problem.."

"So am I um fucked."

"Right in the arse!"

You sigh what mission do you decide to do first?

(X) Make peace or kill the mad scientists
(X) Make peace or kill the martial artists
(X) Make peace or kill the wearwolves
(X) Kill the archprestist your true master demands it
(X) Kill the gun vampire
(X) Find and kill the master of the vampire assasins
