Intro

Hi, I'm Alexandar. I was introduced to World of Darkness by a friend so I'm still very shaky on a lot of the rules/abilities/just the general norm of the world so good news is that if you want to take a few liberties with WoD setting and rules not only will I probably not care, I won't even notice the different. With that being said that also means I'm a total newbie at this, expect lots of questions from me (either in or out of character) as I try to make sense of the world.

The reason I'm requesting a GM is because my friend has dropped the RP......without warning.......after I've finally created a character that works in this world. A character that I've already bounded too and I don't want to end up collecting dust. So I'm looking for a GM to take up the reigns and continue the story. The first post/setup is already done, I know for some of you that might be a turnoff, but I only include it because it had such meaning and feeling/in my opinion, and just really fleshed out the character in one post. Still I believe I've left more then enough room for the GM who wants to take over this game to put in his own mark and touches.

What I'm looking for

1. No text talk, I'm not a grammar Nazi but I need to be able to at least understand your post. And descriptive posts are always nice.

2. Consistent updates. Now I'm not saying you have to update every day, god knows I'm not going to be available every day myself but if were at a scene where I'm talking to someone trying to get information out of them I expect us to be able to finish that scene in one or two sittings/days. It shouldn't take us over a month to finish a conversation.

Ex. Me: "Hey have you seen this person before?"

*One week passes before GM responds*

GM: "Yea, he was here last night."

Me: "Did you notice if he was here with anyone else?"

*Another week passes before GM responds*

GM: "Nope."

I think you guys get the picture.

3. Flexible GM, the GM I'm looking for should be open to player suggestions or requests. As writers I know we all have a vision for our story but I also have a vision for my character so I want someone who will be able to work with me so that both our visions come true.

4. My GM should seek to challenge but not destroy me, he should not see this game as me vs. him but rather a story we're working together to write. His puzzles should force me to think, but I should have all of the tools and hints I need to figure it out, and be able to acquire more hints if needed or be able to take a penalty of some kind in order to get around the puzzle. My GM should be willing to kill my character, but only if I've truly screwed up and even then their should always be a chance for me to escape/surrender/retreat. Death should be used as a way to always keep me on my toes and prevent me from taking insane risks, but I shouldn't be constantly afraid of Death or feel that a single mistake will result in my character dying.

5. No horror, I know that's ironic for WoD but sadly I don't like the horror genre. I'm looking for a GM who would be open to playing a more action/adventure/puzzle WoD game and their WoD world should be more......hope filled then norm.

#####

Well that's all, below I'll include my character Vivi's stats as well as her opening post/what my previous GM ok.

PS: I apologize to any forum moderator who has to move this to the systems RP. This isn't supposed to be erotic but I wasn't sure where to put it.

(Okay, dice rolled, you have 7 blood points in your system currently)

1) Law Info- Officer William Hogan died in the course of duty Thursday, he attempted to arrest a combative Drunk and Disorderly subject outside a bar called "Hades" and was assaulted and bludgeoned to death. The suspect is now in custody awaiting trial for Officer Hogan's murder.

2) Street Info- There's a new drug, maybe. Been around for maybe three weeks, it's supposed to be good shit, makes you feel like a king for a bit, and does somethin to ya, makes ya stronger, meaner, makes ya wannna pick a fight, and win.

3) Mentor Info- I'm going to be busy in New York for a while, it'll make staying in touch tougher, if you need anything but can't get me talk to Dalton Lee over at the Ocean View Apartments, bi of a dullard, but mention me and he'll be real friendly.

4) Family Info- Peter Zantosa has gone missing in the area, he's probably just drunk off is ass somewhere and will wander back once he sleeps it off, but if he's dead we can stop sending his allowance. If you spot him do me a favor and write home. His last letter mentioned a bar called "The Library" the local college students frequent, maybe he's passed out there.

5) Vampire Info- The sabbat has no real control locally, and they aren't happy about it, but they're to occupied elsewhere to really make a grab, last I heard they were offering a pretty hefty reward for building contacts and handing them over to the local bishop.

6) Investigative Info may be allocated to any one of the preceding points you wish to know more on.

Locations:

1)"Hades" bar


2) Sabbat Haven

3) "The Library"

4) Ocean View Apartments

Potential People of Interest:

1) Officer Hogan's partner

2) Officer Hogan's Killer

3) Sabbat Bishop

4) Peter Zantosa

5) Dalton Lee
(Ok, Peter is one of Vivi's many, many brothers. He's older then her, and despite his partying nature he's been good to her, one time when Vivi was little she had gotten lost in the city and a couple of punks were picking on her when Peter showed up and beat the shit out of them and then took Vivi home. They haven't really been that close recently given that they normally party with different people.

Hogan is a more complicated relationship, he and his partner were normally the people who arrested Vivi for some ordinance violation or another. Still they treated Vivi nicely, and Hogan helped Vivi honed her Law skills while they waited for her real lawyer sent by the family to show up.

Vivi open her purple eyes as she slowly woke up. She stared at the ceiling, particular the ceiling fan and watched it as it slowly spun around, over and over again, a never ending cycle. After a minute of this she slowly gets up and looks around to see where she was at, a routine that she did almost every day, over and over again. Vivi was a partier, and not one of those "girls just want to have fun" partier, a real hardcore orgy, drugs, partier......or at least she used to be until recently........so waking up with no idea where she was was pretty normal for her. As Vivi looks around she observes that the room she's currently in is big, it had a bed in the back left corner, which she was currently in, a desk with a computer in the front left corner, a TV in the right front corner, and a coffee table near the bed with a variety of needles, drugs and bottles and glasses of liquor.

"Holy shit this is my apartment!" Vivi says aloud with a start. Well this was certainly new, normally she crashed at the family mansion if not some random persons house, in fact she only bought this apartment as a joke and rarely if ever used it. Vivi's family was rich, extremely unbelievingly rich which is how she, and all of her siblings, and pretty much the rest of the family, were able to support their party lifestyle.

The girl stretches and yawns as she checks herself over, despite having no memory of last night Vivi was confident that she didn't have sex. She didn't have any of the normal sorenesses that accompanies sex so she was reasonably confident that she didn't have any........she wasn't sure if she should feel happy that she didn't have to kick some stranger out of her apartment or sad that she struck out. Whatever the case she was still dirty and could use a shower......she was pretty sure the plumbing still worked here. Getting up off the bed Vivi walks over to the bathroom as she strips out of her clothes, scratching and inch here and there.

Thankfully the plumbing still worked and Vivi was able to step into a nice hot shower, to help clear her head. She didn't really have to worry too much about hangovers are withdraw symptoms, Vivi was a Vampire........ok well a Revenant but its the same difference (no it isn't), the point being that she healed faster then normal humans and that included processing drugs and other harmful substances faster as well.

Suddenly Vivi's eyes snap open as she remembers something, "Wait, where the hell are my guns!?!?!?" Vivi shouts with panic as she leaps out of the shower, still naked and cover in soap foam and rushes over to her bed and clothes to begin to vigorously search them. "Here Louise, come out Que! Damn it, dad's going to kill me when he founds out I lost my guns again!!!" Their was a running joke in the family that the Vivi was the chief supplier of guns for the black market because she kept losing hers, geez, a girl sells her guns for drugs a couple of times, leaves them in a stranger's house a few other times, and drops them on the street because in her drunk haze she forgot to put the straps on right and suddenly people think she's irresponsible. Still it was major pain in the ass to replace them, and she had been doing so good at keeping these guns.......she even named them :(

In Vivi's haste soap gets in her eye, "OWWW, soap in eye!" She yelps in pain as she stumbles backwards, tripping over the coffee table and crashing to the ground. The coffee table also gets knocked over spilling the drugs, needles and bottles all over the floor. Vivi, while still lying on the floor, watches one of the bottles that didn't break and still had liquor in it spin around, and around, and around.......

*That's right, Hogan's dead*, Vivi thinks to herself as she lifts up her hand and stops the bottle. That's why she went out partying last night......lately Vivi didn't go partying as much, in fact she didn't do any of the things she used to like to do as much anymore, but she needed something last night when she found out that Hogan had died, something she KNEW she used to get from partying but she couldn't get it any more, and last night was no exception.

Vivi, still lying on the ground picks up the bottle and raises it up in the air, "To you you overworked cop, may you finally get that vacation you never had time for." She toasts as she pops open the bottle and pours the liquid into her open mouth. She was still lying on the floor so the alcohol got all over her face but Vivi didn't care. "ARGHHHHHHHHHH!" Vivi suddenly screams in pure unrestrictive anger as she throws the bottle across the room, smashing it against the wall spraying glass and liquid all over the floor but she doesn't stop there. With rage she grabs the coffee table and picks it up and begins using it as a hammer, smashing all of the needles, the drugs, the alcohols, everything that had failed to give her what she wanted, the useless pieces of crap!!!! Why weren't they working the way they were supposed to when she needed them WHY!!!!!!!

The glasses and needles break as the drugs spread everywhere, the table splinters and cracks and then shatters but she still kept beating the ground with pieces she had in her hand until finally she lets out one last roar that encompasses the last of her rage. "ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Then just like that it was over. Vivi blinks as if she was waking up again for a second time and looks over what she had done, gasping for air as she takes deep breaths. Frighten she steps back from the destruction, she had used Vampire strength, that was the first time in her life she had ever lost so much control, if she had done that in public......

*Get a grip girl! You're a Vampire (not even close) and Vampires don't feel sad when humans died and they certainly don't get angry over it!* Vivi scolds herself as she walks back into the shower, to finish getting the soap off. Still despite her self scolding Vivi found her thoughts wandering to Hogan, it was an interesting relationship they had, the cop and the delinquent, Hogan was the one who was always arresting Vivi when her party's got too wild. Most cops were assholes who only cared about themselves or resented the fact that Vivi and her siblings always got off thanks to their expensive lawyers but Hogan was different, he was actually nice to her, he treated her like a human being.

*STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM!!!* Vivi commands herself again, she was drying off now. "Vampires do not care about humans, they die every day and I was going to outlive him anyway by like a bizion years so his death doesn't matter to me. Now come on girl, channel your inner vampire!" Vivi tells her reflection in the mirror, she quickly grabs her towel and cloaks it around her shoulders and arm and then raises her arm up so that the towel covers her face from the nose down. "I am a Vampire, a creature of the night; I care not for humans, they are my food at best! In fact I control them from behind scenes and play them against each other for my own amusement, MAHAHAHHAHA" Vivi says in her best impersonation of a Vampire, as she stalks around her apartment, careful to avoid stepping glass.

The truth was thought that Vivi really didn't know that much about Vampires, she had only met two or three in her life, and by met she meant fucked. Vampires didn't really associate much with her family, and to be fair Vivi had never really cared enough before to learn more about them.
After a minute of this sad little attempt Vivi stops her play and goes over to the dresser, to see what clothes she had left here. Any real Vampire who had seen that would probably have killed her. What surprised Vivi though was that it wasn't the big things about Hogan that kept creeping into her mind, it was the little stuff she would miss, like how he would brew her a cup of hot chocolate when it was cold out or late at night when they were stuck at the station waiting on her lawyer.....he would put three sugars in it, one for the brain, one for the body and the third for luck; or how whenever he knew she was lying he would tap his pencil against the top of his desk, or that stupid big round belly laugh that made her think of Santa when she told him something embarrassing.

*STOP!!!!* She command herself again, she was taking deep breathes again as a single tear rolls down her left check. With shame she quickly goes to wipe it away, she needed help, she needed help from a real Vampire. She marches over to her computer and quickly turns it on as she contacts her online friend. The man claimed to be Nicolas Crippen, one of the most famous Vampires in Vivi's family, he was super cool and mysterious, like James Bond and dropped dead gorgeous which was why Vivi found it hard to believe that someone like him would take an interest in someone like her. Still even if this guy was a fake he was smart and he might have an answer for her.

Vivi responding back to email: Lucky you getting to go to New York.........hey Nicolas, do you remember about that cop I told you about, Hogan?........He's dead........he's my first, my first human that I actually like knew well that died...........Look I know what you're going to say, I'm a Revenant, someday I'm probably going to be a Vampire myself so I should just get over it. Humans died all the time, we outlive them by like a bizion years so as a Revenant I shouldn't feel anything by his death..........How do I do that though? How do I turn the pain off? How do I make myself go numb to it? Is their something wrong with me? Maybe I don't have enough Vampire in me, maybe the blood skipped my generation which is why this HURTS SO GOD DAMN MUCH!!!! ........Sorry, I don't mean to vent this at you. I just could use someone to talk to.

With the email sent Vivi felt slightly better, anyway she needed to do something to get her mind off this. Playing the recordings on her cell phone Vivi quickly found her distraction. Her elder brother Peter was missing. Vivi was sure he was ok, after all she had once gone missing for two weeks herself. Still it was something to do to get her mind off he who should not be named.......although she might swing by the station later to see how Hogan's partner was doing. Anyway first things first, she should go to the bar Peter was last scene at, the "The Library".

(Send RP email to Nick)

(Go to the "The Library")
 
I know nothing about GMing in the system you're hoping to use, but you would have better luck looking in the systems subforum. It's made specifically for people hoping to use table top rules, systems, etc.

I thought about posting that there but I thought that was systems/XXX content which is why I posted this in the non-porn topic section. I'm looking for just a regular WoD game with no sex scenes (well if the characters do have sex it would be just the regular fade to black/talk about it, not graphically show it scenes).
