World Of Darkness - Shadows Of Ireland

The World of Darkness is a world much like our own albeit, darker. The shadows run deeper and mysteries exist behind every corner. Here things do go bump in the night but most try to convince themselves there is nothing there, rare is the one who bumps back. It is the night of Friday the 13th of December 2013 in the city of Dublin, Ireland. For some reason you were walking the streets of Dublin alone on this faithful night. Perhaps you were walking home, maybe you are homeless, you could have been on the way to work or off to meet with friends. Whatever the reason you found yourself dragged into a world you know nothing about. You were knocked out and kidnapped by being shoved into the back of a van along with others in the same situation, taken away to an abandoned warehouse on the north side of the city. Your kidnappers? Kindred as some call themselves but far more commonly known as vampires, not that most people know such creatures exist as anything other than works of fiction. The coterie that took you were part of a Covenant, a group of vampires much like a political or religious organisation known as Belial's Brood. The Brood are demon worshippers and true monsters who believe they should give into the beast inside them. No doubt they were planning on using you as cannon fodder in their war against the other Kindred of Dublin. The Brood were destroyed but not before embracing those they had kidnapped, making them into the same damned creatures as themselves. There is more to the world than you ever knew and the tensions between the different groups of vampires in the city are ready to explode into full on conflict. This you'll begin to find out, the night that you die.

Information about Dublin and Ireland

Hidden:

Ireland is a lot like other English Speaking countries in the developed world. While many things are the same some things are different. The city of Dublin is very old, it started as a Viking Settlement in 841 called Dyflin. It was an important Norse settlement and when the Norman's arrived it became the focus of English rule in Ireland. Following Independence it became the Capital of the new Irish Free State. Ireland itself was partitioned following the War of Independence. This resulted in Northern Ireland which was still part of the UK and the Irish Free State which would go on to be The Republic of Ireland which was independent. Dublin is a rather low rise city, not many buildings are higher than 5 stories and it is known for it's Georgian architecture. It is often devided into North and South based on what side of the river Liffey one is one. Ireland is a member of the EU and the currency of Ireland is the Euro, it is generally neutral in military affairs. Distance is measured using the metric system. While Ireland is officially Bilingual with English and Irish both as official languages, not many people speak fluent Irish and English is the language most often used. However Irish can occasionally play into speech and many offices are referred to by Irish titles. Nobody in Ireland would call the "Taoiseach" the Prime Minister and likewise they wouldn't call the "Garda Síochána" the police.

Ireland has a population of 4.589 million. Dublin is the Irish Capital and has a population of 1.8 million if you count the entire Metropolitan area. There are a number of Colleges in Dublin. Trinity College Dublin (Trinity) is the oldest (established in 1592) and some consider it the most prestigious university, University College Dublin (UCD) is the second oldest (established 1854) and some consider it the second best university. As well as those two there are some other ones, Dublin City University (DCU), St. Patrick's College (which is mainly for teachers, normally called "St. Pat's") and Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) that mainly focuses on engineering and Information Technology.

Vampires - Separating Fact from Fiction

Hidden:

Clans

Hidden:

Nobody knows the true origin of vampires. Some people think they were cursed by god, some think they are creatures like any other that have always existed, some people even think they were created as part of some weird alien experiment. Whatever the reason, not all vampires are the same. There are differences between vampires, different vampires have different strengths and weaknesses. There are main 5 clans of vampires however there are said to be other clans too. Clans are like families, your clan is the same as your sire, the vampire who embraced you. There are also bloodlines which are like sub clans that are even more different however there is no need to concern yourself with them. The vampires that made up the Beliah's Brood coterie were diverse, there was one from each of the 5 clans. As a result you can play a Vampire from any of the Clans. On top of their strengths and weaknesses all clans also have a discipline, a vampiric power that is almost unique to their clan. There are often stereotypes related to these different clans but they aren't universally true. The 5 clans of vampires are as follows:

Daeva: The Succubi. They are emotional, sensual and desirable. Daeva are known be charming and often seductive. Their Clan Discipline is Majesty an ability that gives them huge force of personality. Their clan weakness is that they have a difficult time resisting their vice. When a Daeva has an opportunity to indulge in their vice they find they have a harder time doing things that aren't indulging in that vice.

Gangrel: The Savages. They are primal and hardy. Gangrel are known for their closer ties to the beast than other clans. They are able to willingly give into the beast and frenzy. Their Clan Discipline is Protean the ability to shapeshift and take on animal features. Their clan weakness is related to their ties to the beast, Gangrel have a harder time resisting Frenzy and their beast takes control easier.

Mekhet: The Shadows. They are mysterious, discreet and wise. Mekhet are often known for acquiring secrets and often associated with darkness. Their Clan Discipline is Auspex which gives them supernatural senses and often insight into people's natures. Their clan weakness is related to their nature as shadows, a weakness to light. They are even more vulnerable to fire and sunlight than other clans. Even particularly bright lights make them feel somewhat comfortable.

Nosferatu: The Haunts. They are stealthy, strong and terrifying. They are known for being horrifying and unnatural. Their Clan Discipline is Nightmare the ability to strike fear into the heart of another. Their clan weakness is an inhuman air they gave off. They may be physically hideous, smell terrible, have a growling voice or just have something about them that puts people off and makes them dislike them.

Ventrue: The Lords. They are regal and commanding. They are known for being aristocratic and influential. Their Clan Discipline is Dominate the ability to look someone in the eyes, speak to them and overwhelm their mind forcing them to carry out their will. Their clan weakness is that their minds are weaker than other vampires and are more likely to break down and panic or even suffer from derangements.

Prologue

Hidden:

'Take a little walk to the edge of town go across the track...'
Omar Bauer was sitting in the driver's seat of his black '67 Chevy Impala, his radio tuned into Black Magic FM, a Dublin based independent station. The Austrian checked his watch for the time, 5 past 11. Omar was a vampire, and member of Clan Nosferatu. It showed, Omar's slightly pointy ears, tall and slender structure, his long sharp fingernails, his yellow irises. But none of that was what really drove people away, rather it was a subtle sense of unease which Omar gave off. He was wearing black trousers, black shoes, white shirt, black tie, black suit jacket, black overcoat, black leather gloves and black fedora. It added to his menacing figure. He had been embraced in his 50's, much later in his life than most vampires. Omar looked as his passenger seat, Shelly was sitting there. She was his German Shepard, and sometimes Omar thought she was the only one who could bear being around him. "Where are they?" came an annoyed male voice from behind Omar with a distinct Russian accent.

Omar was the Sheriff of the vampire community in Dublin. It was his job to keep the peace and to make sure his fellow vampires obeyed the laws set forth by his prince, the leader of the vampires of Dublin. It was a position he had been in since 1961 and a job he was very good at. But every Sheriff needs a deputy, and those deputies were Adele and Viktor. Adele Dupont was a Mekhet and French, she looked like a teenager but had been Omar's deputy since he became sheriff. She was wearing a black hoodie, purple t-shirt, blue jeans and black boots. She was checking on her crossbow, she loved that crossbow. She had wooden bolts, ready to shoot them at the heart of her fellow kindred. Omar's other Deputy was Viktor Kornev. Viktor was the youngest of the vampires in the car, he was from Russia having grown up in Moscow. He had been Omar's deputy since the 90's. He was wearing a purple tracksuit top, purple tracksuit trousers, white trainers and a white t-shirt. Viktor had an obsession with 80's pop culture. He was holding a machete and a golden uzi. The gun was gaudy and Omar always wondered what strings Viktor had to pull and the money he had to pay to get it. Omar ignored Viktor's impatience. He looked out the window at the warehouse they were staking out. This was it, the Haven of Beliah's Brood. Omar had been looking for them for some time and now that they had found them it was time for the degenerates to be wiped out. Omar had heard all the vampires in Galway had been killed, he didn't know what caused it but Dublin wasn't going to share the same fate, not on his watch. Omar saw a white van pull up across the road. "They're here, everyone out. You know what to do." said Omar.

The vampires got out of the car, Viktor opened the passenger door to let Shelly out. Omar headed to the boot of his car, he opened it and looked inside. He put his hand over the AK47 in there, it wouldn't kill a vampire but being shot enough would knock one into Torpor, after that they are easy pickings. But Omar decided against it, he moved his hand and took a fire axe instead. Sharp, powerful and good for chopping. Omar closed the boot and locked his car. Omar, his deputies and Shelly headed over to the white van that had pulled up. A brother and sister got out of the van, William and Emily Gleeson. William was the taller and older of the pair, he was wearing a red flannel shirt, blue jeans and black boots. Emily was wearing a white t-shirt, black cargo jacket, black jeans and black boots. They were werewolves, Ghost Wolves to be precise. Werewolves who weren't tied to any tribe, that's why they were here. The siblings were mercenaries being paid by the Prince and being paid in more than just money. But if the siblings lived up to their end of the bargain then the Prince would live up to theirs.

"Ready?" asked Omar. The siblings nodded. "We'll go strip and then change, no need to ruin our clothes." said William. The siblings went behind their van. Omar turned to his deputies. "This is it, remember just have to knock them into Torpor, we can finish them off when the fighting stops." said Omar. Adele nodded and faded from sight. Viktor turned the safety off his gun and had it ready to fire. The siblings returned from behind the van and appeared to be half-man and half-wolf. They were massive, bestial and hulking at over two and half meters tall. Their blood lust was boiling as they were ready to rip members of the brood limb from limb. William charged at the warehouse door and bust it down rushing inside his sister following close behind. Omar, Viktor and one can assume Adele went in after them.

There were four members of Beliah's Brood in the main room of the warehouse. They were caught unaware and unarmed. They all looked liked they were embraced in their 20's but Omar wasn't sure how old they really were and he didn't care, they were going to die. There was a male Ventrue, a male Mekhet, a male Daeva and a female Nosferatu. The Daeva was the first to fall, Adele came into sight by the door into the warehouse as she fired her crossbow. The bolt fired straight and true piecing the Kindred's chest and stabbing his heart. The Daeva began to wither and look more corpse-like, he fell backwards to the ground. The siblings teamed up on the Mekhet, William pinned him down and began to cut into him. The Mekhet screamed in pain. Emily went for his head, she put her foot on his shoulder and stabbed the fingers of her right hand into his eyes and rested the palm on the top of his head. She used her other hand to grab the Mekhet by the jaw and with both her arms and all her might began to pull. The Mekhet kept screaming, the pitch growing higher and higher as his head was ripped from the body, head and body alike withered and became corpse like as he suffered Final Death. Shelly changed at the Ventrue and knocked him to the ground, she bit him in the neck but the Ventrue forced her off. He was getting to his knees when Omar approached him and activated his Vigor discipline and swung down chomping halfway through the vampire's neck. He pulled the axe back out. "Please..." begged the Ventrue. Omar ignored the pleas and swung again, separating head from body as the vampire quickly decomposed and looked like a corpse which had been dead for well over a year. The Nosferatu had chosen not to flee, she activated Celerity and charged at Viktor. Viktor held ground and fired at the Nosferatu with the uzi in his right hand. The Nosferatu closed in quicker than he had expected, Viktor stabbed her in the chest with the machete in his left hand. Viktor activated his own Celerity, he pulled the blade out with his right hand, pushed her to the ground and began to chop and slice into the vampire. The bullets had already greatly wounded the Nosferatu and the blade damaged them even more. Viktor continued to slice as quickly as he could until the vampire was forced into Torpor. Within 30 seconds of starting the fighting had stopped and the members of the Brood had been killed or knocked into Torpor.

There was only one other room in the warehouse, the office. Omar headed over to the door and pulled it open. A female Gangrel rushed out to meet him, sharp claws on her hands. She swung at him and narrowly missed as Omar backed away. He moved his axe upwards and hit her in the face with the bottom of the handle. Adele fired at the Gangrel and missed, hitting the wall. The Gangrel was going to swing at Omar again when Emily tackled her from the side. William joined in as the pair began to cut into the Kindred and rip her apart. Omar decided to leave them to it and headed into the office to see what was inside. The wallpaper in the office was old and peeling off the walls, the carpet was green and stained. There was no furniture inside but what Omar saw made his jaw drop. "Everyone get in here, now!" shouted Omar.

The deputies had followed Omar inside. The siblings, once they had finished with the Gangrel returned to their naked human form and entered the office behind the vampires. They looked at the sight the vampires had already seen. Fledgling vampires, newly embraced and lying on the floor of the office. They had been sired by the members of Beliah's Brood. They hadn't even woken up from the embrace yet and were still asleep. "Fledglings. They must have been planning to use them as shock troops." said Adele. "What should we do with them? Do we kill them or...?" asked Viktor. Omar shook his head. "No, the Prince will want to know about this. Give me one of those bolts, we'll stake them, put them in the van and take them back to the Prince. She can decide what to so with them." And so the group got to work, staking the fledglings to put them in Torpor and loading them into the back of the van. They set fire to the warehouse along with the members of the Brood still in Torpor. The group drove off back to the Prince, they'd just have to wait and see what she'd make of all this. The night wasn't over yet.

Rules

1. Forum Rules apply
2. No Godmodding. (Control other characters, determining the outcome of combat, changing the time, etc.)
3. Only post one attack per combat "turn." This being before I get back to you and post the results of your actions. I don't want to see posts like "James shot at Dennis 7 times, then his dog 3 times and then he ran up to the Alex and punched him in the face before tossing a grenade at Lisa."
4. One player character per person. You can make friends and family under relationships but these will be NPCs. I might hand over control of a character to you.
5. Try your best to use good grammar and spelling.
6. All out of character talk in hide tags after the RP starts. Hide tags that is. Double parentheses aren't acceptable.
7. Characters have to be approved by me.

9. If you wish to join after the RP has started then PM about it. On the flip side if you are dropping out or going on hiatus for a while please PM me about it to let me know.
10. I will kick as a last resort if I really have to. Please don't make me.
11. Don't be afraid to talk me about things related to the RP. I'll try my best to answer what I'm asked and willing to answer. I won't for example tell you the true motivation of a character just because you ask out of character.
12. I am still the GM. So it is still possible for me to do things with my powers that aren't listed here under rules. But don't worry, I won't go mad with power.

I'm in! Just need to discuss my character with two others as we're all involved with each other in one way or another. Will have her up as soon as it's sorted out.

Post by **Kerr** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 12:14 am

Alright. Oh, I didn't mention it above but I should say something just in case anyone is thinking about doing it. No PCs that are children, your character has to be 16 or older. The Vampire community in Dublin have rules against making Children into vampires. Now Beliah's Brood don't care about those rules but the Sheriff likely would have killed you if you were a child.

How's this? Almost sure I messed something up.

Unionhack · Post by **Unionhack** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 3:51 am

Been wanting to use Ashling as a name ever since I saw it in S&S because of how much I loved it. Since C&G is dead, going with it here.

Here's my ~~Vriska clone~~ character.

Spoiler:

I feel like I'm forgetting something but I always think that, so just let me know if I messed up anywhere. This looks really fun!

Playing as someone who isn't a chaotic good or something similar will be tough but I really need to work on branching out and doing something different. Ash, being neutral evil, should be really fun.

@Hissen: Yeah DCU has a music course although I don't think it has a course specifically for teaching Music. Trinity and UCD are much bigger, they have pretty much everything and have more for Arts than the other colleges. It looks mostly fine, I'll add you now. Any problems are minor. You appeared accidentally hit "s" instead of "a" when writing Daeva. As far as I know you can have piercings and tattoos stick around from before the embrace but if you get them afterwards then you have to keep them via force of will (reducing max possible blood by 1.) You could heal tattoos or piercings from before the embrace if you so wished, but then they would then stay healed. I know you aren't doing it but for the record dye will come out of hair and revert to natural hair colour after the embrace. Also he wouldn't go from Primary school to College. You go Primary -> Secondary -> College. In terms of America, Primary would be like Elementary school and Secondary would be like High School, there is no Middle School.

@Winter: Yeah it looks fine, I'll add you now. Dropped out of Secondary School at 18 means she probably dropped out in her last year. She'll regrow that missing eye by the way, unless via force of will she chooses not to (reducing max possible blood by 1.) It would regrow slowly on its own but she can use blood to make it grow back faster. That'll be fun to explain if she meets anyone she knows.

Kerr, could you post a bit about Ireland's police force? Just in case others want to do a cop character as well. Depending on when i hear back from the others, i may get my character ready by the end of today. Doubt it'll take any longer then the end of the week. Also, would being accepted into the police academy at the age of 18 be acceptable and would it last a few years be okay as well?

Unionhack · Post by **Unionhack** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 1:18 pm

@Kerr: Would it not stay that way because it was like that when embraced?

Post by **Kerr** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 1:20 pm

The end of the week as in tomorrow or the end of next week?

An Garda Síochána (On Gar-dah Shee-a-kawn-ah). The Irish police force. Means Guard(ian)s of the Peace; the Gardaí are often known colloquially as "the Guards". "Garda" (gar-dah) is singular (one garda = a cop) although "guard" is the common term; "gardaí" (gar-dee) is plural (two gardaí = two cops). Although the force was formed during a civil war (or perhaps because of this), the gardaí are mostly unarmed: like the British police (though unlike the police in pre-independence Ireland), firearms are not routinely carried by your average officer. Detectives and some uniformed officers (less than 10%) do carry weapons though. Their uniforms look like this and their cars look like this.

You must be a least 18 and no older than 35 to apply to join the Gardí. This is apply to join, there are of course Gardí older than 35. I think training takes about 2 or 3 years. Note however that the Garda College is located in County Tipperary, so a Garda in training would probably be there and not in Dublin. Then again this RP starts Friday 13th 2013 so most colleges will probably have closed for Christmas and there is no reason you couldn't have just been visiting Dublin for the day. To be honest I think you are better off going for a fully trained officer rather than one still in training to avoid these headaches.

@Winter. Yeah, pre existing wounds are similar to piercings I wasn't sure which way to go. Either I should fix piercings or leave severed limbs missing. I think the way I will do it is that like pre-existing piercings by default it will stay that way (that unlike future wounds keeping it that way won't reduce 1 from Max BP) but like piercings the vampire can choose to heal the wound but then it will stay healed. That might be the best way to go, it lets you heal pre-existing piercings and wounds if you want without punishing you in terms of lowering max BP for keeping the pre embrace piercings or wounds the way they were.

Alright I edited it to make him go to trinity and fixed the spelling/general knowledge flaws. You'd think all the time I spent talking to Velvet would've helped but no.

Now I'm not too sure if she'll keep the eyepatch. It was to be kinda a focal point of her appearance but if she can be rid of ot, she would probably want to. Unless she's just so used to using only one eye and brushing her hair over it.

Maybe the Masquerade would be a good excuse.

Right okay Hissen, don't worry about it.

She could regrow the eye and keep the eye patch. Just has to keep it on when she meets with people who knew her before becoming a vampire. Might even keep it on whenever she is out just in-case she bumps into someone she knows.

End of next week. She would have just finished her training and either start her very first shift or just got back from the academy.

@All hail!: Unfortunately I can't accept your sheet until you fix some problems with it.

You don't have anything down for physical appearance, your CASPIE numbers are off. Don't have (+1) just have what the number actually is. How is Seamus McDonnell related to your PC? I'm assuming he is his father but put it down.

Ah, christ. I had to retype my sheet, and I must've forgot about those. I'll fix it soon.

EDIT: Edited now, should hopefully be okay.

Yeah I think it is alright, I didn't notice anything wrong with it. I'll add you now.

Oh my--I'm so in.

Hidden:

Note; while in my background, I mentioned his teeth had fallen out, as soon as he can, Mumph will be growing them back, for the BP cost.

Baloth! Yeah, I think everything is in order. He has a reason to have such low charisma. I'll add you now.

If you want to keep the name secret from other PCs that is fine but could you still PM me the name in case I have your long lost evil cousin or something show up?

Getting more players then I thought I would. Not that I had a problem with what I thought I had, I was fine with 4. I used to think you would all fit in one average car without having to sit on laps. Now it looks like we'll have 7 if everyone who said they want to join does.

" Do not ever touch his fanny pack"

Just gonna warn you. Fanny is slang for vagina in Ireland.(And the UK, too).

Oh, no, he doesn't have any mysterious relatives that'll suddenly show up or anything. Anyone who ever knew him before his homelessness either forgot about him or died, and anybody who knew him on the street would only know him as Mumph, or that-guy-who-stabbed-someone-over-a-dirty-towel. He's going to be slurring and using somewhat broken english and grunting and...really quite bestial, well befitting his clan. Mumph is Mumph. If he ever refers to himself as anything else, it might be Emperor of Ireland, Protector of Mexico. And then he'll eat a stray cat, or something.

I'm not worried. He'll never REFER to it as a fanny pack. He'd just angrily defend it, saying "Muh BEANS! Dun touch!".

Treat him like a stray dog, if you want to be on good terms with him. He's geared primarily for survival. He can be appeased with offers of blood ("red-food!"), or money, or whatever. If he feels threatened, he will bite. If there's something he wants, he will bite. If there's some reasoning and negotiation to be done, or complex algorithms to be calculated, he'll just snarl and tear something apart.
