• The recruits are your characters -- they have a variety of skills, backgrounds and reasons for associating with the Vigil; some are maimed veterans that want the implants and all the possibilities they offer, others have lost friends, family and lovers to the vampires. They are willing to undergo the dehumanizing and dangerous process of cybernetic implantation.

• No thank you on half-vampires and daywalkers. This is about the victims.

Depending what the GM things, I'd be ok with having an enemy character in the mix, so long as they aren't overpowered and any fight with them leads with constant losses.

At least balance the scales.

Question to our glorious leader: what role does the Catholic church, or any other religious organization have to due with the plot, the vamps, or our organization? And how in favor of you of firearms over kungfu stuffs?

The Eternal keep a close eye on the Catholics due to the Inquisition and previous history, but they don't fear it. The Vigil is not closely aligned with it, though it's possible they might recruit a person or two from Catholic institutions but they steer clear of leadership and any overt contact that might arouse suspicion. There is a history of manipulating the Catholic Church through thralls...the vampires have thralls in a lot of key points of influence. Not necessarily politicians themselves, but the bureaucrats and people who can make things happen and keep things under wraps.

Firearms and hand to hand combat each have their place here.

Niiiice. Second batch; I know there's alot of replacement of limbs, etc. , Cybernetics sorta shtick. What about subdermal implants though? Say, instead of replacing a lost limb, just adding or altering to what's already there? Wires under the skin, as it were?

And do any of the vampiric lore holds true? Silver, running water, counting rice, that sort of thing?

In my character I didn't want to add too much in the way of replacement limbs, but more enhanse what's already there (eg:her heart). It seems a bit illogical to cut off a perfectly fine limb when it could be repaired and mended, but that would all depend on the damage that was taken. I just enjoy seeing how far some people go with the boundaries, how much human is left, and how much damage the character can endure.
