Legends of the White Wolf--OOC thread

[InkedWolf]

Name: Katherine McGuiness

Race: Werewolf of the Iron Masters Tribe, Auspice of the Cahalith

Appearance: An athletic girl, 5'2, cropped bright red hair. Used to be blonde, but changes her colours every few months to keep from becoming noticed, often ties it back in a bandanna. Her body is covered in a series of tattoos, each one tells a tale of a city she's lived in. Carries a backpack around, will become anxious without it.

Clothing choices are often whatever comes her way. Cargo pants, hoodies, t-shirts. Most are covered in paint, charcoal or spray. Usually has a can of spray tied around her leg.

Personality: Nervous around new people, loyal to those she survived with. Often in the company of street artists, runaways, and other throwaway children. Fascinated by new art, and other artists in the community. Prefers to hide then do battle, but if her backs against a wall. Will try to utlize forms that are to draw the least attention if needed.

Bio: Katherine grew up in a broken home, a drunk for an old man, and a mother who blamed her for the downfalls. Needless to say, as soon as Kat could runaway, she did. Even in those times, art was something she was fascinated by. It gave her a view into the world she didn't know existed. While on the road, she often drew the other kids and wrote their stories in her sketchbook. She now treasures the weathered hardcover with pride. She often stayed with the other runaways, or at the shelters until she met Kade, a local street artist who saw a potential in Kat. He taught her how to make her message known, and assisted her with learning the ins and outs of getting places she normally shouldn't be. Lockpicking, alongside training to get to the highest points to create her street art.

When the change happened, Katherine became frightened of hurting her friend, so she ran. Eventually she was discovered by the Iron Mastered and enlightened to her condition. Eventually she returned to find Kade, to learn he overdosed and passed on. Deciding to carry on his legacy, she continued to create art in his name.

Powers: (I'd like your help here.)

Skills Talented with scaling buildings, picking locks, art. Capable of mixing her own paints, and often tries to craft materials to honor the spirits.

Equipment: A sketchbook with a denim wrapping, a canvas roll stashed with art supplies. .38 special, and a switchblade.

Notes: (Whatever notes you want to make about your character that do not fit anywhere else.)


Here's what i've got so far! Feel free to critique away

One minor detail is that The Iron Masters is a tribe not a clan but that is just nitpicking. I will also need a description of her wolf form. Other than that your character is great. As for powers there are allot of Gifts, some follow you tribe others your moon phase, but to make it simple what if you tell me what you would like for your character to be able to do and I will see if it is possible to do that with the Gifts available to her and if not if one can be made to fit your needs.

[InkedWolf]

Thank you.

I was thinking since she likes to bounce about and hide, maybe an ability to allow her to move silently (Umm obfuscate from vampire?) something close range to protect herself, and since she tries to craft her art to appease the spirits. Is there something that would allow her to call a spirit to aid her, or summon help? Otherwise I'm happy to bow to ideas you want to suggest for her too

Thanks again for your help.

Name:
Chi Tsunami
Race:
Vampire of the Bruja clan on the path of Honorable accord
Appearance:
Big and tall doesn't begin to describe him at seven feet tall with four hundred pounds! He tries to emphasize his size by wearing a horizontally striped ballistic business suit of light colors such as cream and light yellow. Comical yes, but the visual impression often gives him a wide berth of those around him.

Personality:
A samurai, a knight by a code of honor. He is no leader but he is a loyal solider.
Bio:
Japanese ancestry but born in San Francisco in 1800 to a pair of migrant workers. They were abused and worse while under the thumb of a landlord who owned several blocks of the seven mile city known as "Chinatown" who ran opium dens with brothels along the like. Chi never wanted to be some mule running drugs or working on the rails, so the kid tried to ear his money in street fights, this interested the landlord who bought the boy from his parents in exchange for free rent of their apartment as long as the boy was his. Now with a child to train, he began to drill and sculpt the boy into a warrior then throw him into rings with superior opponents such as older children or even wild animals. When the boy would win, he was given a special draught of dark red that tasted like nothing else and Chi always wanted more. Such as it was for two decades as the boy became a man and a leading force un the underground fighting circles when his parents moved away. They had saved enough from a rent-free life to get out from the slums to open their own shop near city hall, sadly it burned to the ground a week later leaving Chi an orphan and completely at his masters mercy.

His master keeps the young man into his 30's when he starts getting too much attention from his success as his ghoulish truth is revealed, in turn revealing his masters vampiric nature and draws a upheaval as a praxus of princes occurs all along the coastline. His master succeeds but it is a hollow victory in 1909 as the city is torn asunder, part of what is covered by the famous quake to masquerade breaching disciplines used all along the west coast at once. He and his master survive but they flee east to new your where he was embraced based upon his merits and taught the ways of honor, he knew how to fight, now he needed to know why to fight. The last century was spent mostly in seclusion in the Bronx honing his physical traits and disciplines to their peak his blood allowed while in study along with the occasional live feeding instead of just taking from hospitals.

Eventually it was time for him to make a name and use what he was taught. He didn't make it out of the state before he was caught by hunters... *insert hunter time here* Eventually he managed to escape alongside several of his sworn enemies, unified by a common goal, he swore his honor to them and keeps it to this day even as a deputy of Chicago.

Brawl, dodge, melee, Firearms

Katana, Ballistic business suit, two pistols, a warehouse he uses as a training studio.
Notes:

[Hagazussa]

Knighthawk I love your character, the only problem is that this is new World of Darkness not old. I have to run now but give me a few moment when I have the time to sit down and just go through the small changes that have to be made to fit him into the new setting for there is not allot of them and you are good to go.

InkedWolf I will go through the Gifts lists and find something that fit what you describe and give you some recommendations. I have to just post very quickly now, I wanted to get a post in, I will post more in detail later today.

[Hagazussa]

Okey InkedWolf what if your character have these three Gifts for stealth:

Feet of Mist (•)

Sight and sound are not the hardest senses for a werewolf to defeat, but even a bloodhound would wear its nose out trailing a werewolf with Feet of Mist. The werewolf’s scent fades to near-imperceptibility.
Blending (••)

An expert hunter knows the value of not being seen. A werewolf with this Gift can blend with the landscape by simply remaining still — overlooked even in the open.
Running Shadow (•••)

Sometimes, one must choose between moving silently and moving quickly. This Gift makes the choice unnecessary. The werewolf can trot over dry leaves as quietly as tiptoeing carefully.

You also already have greater than human strength in your combat form where your character is a two legged human wolf hybrid where you have teeth and claws for close combat. As for spirit communications I think that should be done as rituals so if you have two rituals for contacting and communicating with spirits, how do that sound?

Knighthawk there are no Brujah Clan in the new World of Darkness but it do exist as a Bloodline under Gangrel so if you change your Clan to Gangrel and take Brujah as a bloodline then you should be good. In Requiem they have cut it down to five Clans and then most of the specializations you would get with Clans in Masquerade you now get with bloodlines. Other than that your character is approved, Vampire the Masquerade and Vampire the Requiem are so similar that no other changes need to be made for him to fit, he is a good character.

We are playing in 2012 and the group was captured by hunters a 5 years ago or so since you said insert time here on that, it would mean that you where captured in 2007, give or take.

Expect my CS some time today or tomorrow. I am "somewhat" familiar with the WoD though only played it once and I was playing an irish CIA officer masquerading as an astronaut and ended being influenced by an Old One. XD Most hilarious game I've played..
I'll need to do a little research first too.

[Hagazussa]

Ok sounds great, I am looking forward to reading your character sheet.
