[quote=@Alchemical Chimera] You two have your characters set, anyway. We're all going to be playing together though, right? So I may as well get in on this discussion. I'm not up on what Vampy's doing. Or if Navyvet, sloth or others are still interested. But I pretty much know I'm throwing a Tzimisce into the mix. An old Slavic pagan most likely. Maybe an old tribal Knjaz or something. I mean so far we have a warrior and a scholar between the two of you. So, I'm guessing I should take on the the social aspect. A tribal leader would fit that role very well. Via Diabolis (Road of the Devil) would certainly be appropriate for what I'm doing. And I could distinguish it from Vampy's idea by having my character take a more gallant and hedonistic approach to the road. Having been a vampiric Voivode would also be appropriate. But losing that status for some reason, would ultimately be more interesting. Perhaps a Vassal Voivode, one who came into power serving a greater Voivode and has been sent to establish a powerbase in the west, ending up in Rome. I think that could work out well. [/quote] That would be excellent. Perhaps a patron for my Capadocian, someone who "appreciates" his talents? And I don't even know if our setting is rome, the character I'm using is actually one of my originals. He's sort of danced his way through vampire games and roleplays since the dawn of time for me. I think he started as a ventrue, moved to being a tremere and now he's going to be a capadocian. He's just always been from Rome (Hence the name Marcus) which typically means he's hella old in the games i play because they take place in modern nights. So I'm hoping in this one We're after the fall of Rome (Hence the dark ages) so he'll be somewhere in his upper hundreds (I havent done the math yet but I don't want to push him toooo close to being a Methuselah so he may actually be from Constantinople after the fall of Rome depending on what year we're starting in)
