Character Creation

I'm assuming we're not past the fledgling state that long, young enough not to be out of touch with today's society. So... 2-5 years or so? For my Gangrel concept it wouldn't make much of a difference, but for the Nosferatu it would, he should be able to use a smartphone. :)

Yeah. You're young, though no longer under your sires thumb for those who know them, and have had time to get at least familiar with one another.

Soooo...... Are we ready to begin making our coterie, or has the plane stalled and is it heading to the ground? :D

I hope so.

I'm kind of suffering from severe choice paralysys when it comes to character creation.

Any information I can give that could help?

Also came up with a third option, though not sure if it would fit some char concepts. Starting as fresh just out of the grave fledglings. Literally.

Yeah, sorry, I've had a couple of crazy weeks that haven't given me as much time as I wanted to think character creation. I'm hoping next week will ease up a bit

I'm not much for the fresh fledglings idea. Those games tend to be too railroady in my experience.

So I threw a bunch of common goals out there for a cornerstone to build a coterie around. What do you guys think of those? Recapping, they were:
-Anarch railroad
-Crime
-Carving out a Domain (and each of us can have individual goals within that area)

Popping up a discord link as may help with faster discussion. I used it for various game, so when you pop in I will need to add you to a role before you can see the Aylesmouth stuff.

Carving out a domain is likely going to be a running theme in general, so you can attach other bits to that. Or just have the 'trying to survive in this new world' being the main focus to start.

And fair on the fledglings. Would hope it would be railroady but understandable

*Dominate* "You will join us at the Discord."

You reply:
1. "I will join you at the Discord."
2. "I will join you at the Discord."
3. "I will join you at the Discord."

Sorry for being somewhat absent recently.

About the Anarch railroad thing... I'm not familiar with it, and the little that Google turns up suggests it's based on the Underground Railroad that helped slaves escape in the American Civil War era.

It's interesting, but I'm not sure it works without the vast geography of the USA, and also doesn't really work in England which IIRC is basically Anarch terrain with just a handful of Camarilla footholds and freedom from the Camarilla is basically just an hour's drive away.

Anarch spies/infiltrators tasked with gathering intell and sabotage seems more realistc if anti-Camarilla is the way we want to go.

I like the idea of being spies/infiltrators, it works quite well with the character I had in mind

I will say I had plans you guys at least being native to the city, though Anarch whisperings could definitely have got to you. While the Prince likes to claim Aylesmouth is Anarch free, there is no doubt sympathisers/those who cannot speak their alignment out loud for fear of death.

Carving out a domain and trying to get by can easily be a backdrop for any other focus the coterie takes, as you are relatively new in a city that is went to be a Camarilla stronghold
