Bio

Necromancy is of sufficient importance to demand a section to itself.

It is justifiable in some exceptional cases. Suppose the magician fail to obtain access to living Teachers, or should he need some especial piece of knowledge which he has reason to believe died with some teacher of the past, it may be useful to evoke the "shade" of such a one, or read the "Akasic record" of his mind.

The only minds likely to be useful to the Magician belong to Adepts sworn to suffer reincarnation at short intervals, and the best elements of such minds are bound up in the "Unconscious Self" of the Adept, not left to wander idly about the Astral Plane. It will thus be more profitable to try to get into touch with the "Dead Teacher" in his present avatar. Moreover, Adepts are at pains to record their teaching in books, monuments, or pictures, and to appoint spiritual guardians to preserve such heirlooms throughout the generations. Whenever these are destroyed or lost, the reason usually is that the Adept himself judges that their usefulness is over, and withdraws the forces which protected them. The student is therefore advised to acquiesce; the sources of information available for him are probably selected by the Wardens of Mankind with a view to his real necessities. One must learn to trust one's Holy Guardian Angel to shape one's circumstances with skill. If one be but absorbed in the ardour of one's aspiration toward Him, short indeed is the time before Experience instils the certain conviction that His works and His ways are infinitely apt to one's needs.

If this be done it must be done properly very much on the lines of the evocation of Apollonius of Tyana, which Eliphas Levi performed.

See Rituel et Dogme de la Haute Magie; Rituel, ch. XIII.

The utmost care must be taken to prevent personation of the "shade". It is of course easy, but can rarely be advisable, to evoke the shade of a suicide, or of one violently slain or suddenly dead. Of what use is such an operation, save to gratify curiosity or vanity?

Which of your pairings are you in the mood to play most as FxF?
I'm all about OWoD Vampire. Sabbat or Independent clans are my favorites in modern nights. I prefer the old version of Vampire: the Dark Ages and the Long Night era. So if it's cool, I might like to play as a vampire embraced in the early 1100s who's lain in torpor for almost a millennium.
I'm very interested in some passionate (smutty) FxF roleplays. Especially mother x daughter, teacher x student, or anything involving vampires. Please pm me if you are interested.
I am very interested. Please pm me.

Alright. So trying to make the character I was thinking of actually kind of sucks. I have nothing. I'm going to try for a slightly different and somewhat less dark approach. Wish me luck.
This sounds pretty awesome. I hope it gathers more interest than just me.
I think I might like to make a character who is a cultist. I'm thinking of him as an eccentric, rich, young bachelor who uses his money and influence to "promote global enlightenment".

Heads up guys, I am afraid I'm coming down with something. Might miss a bit of this rp if that's the case.
