Current Those you call 'police' are nothing more than law-protected gangsters. They can be bribed, tricked and threatened to shoot innocents. Make no mistake.

Peace has to be fought for, even if the law is used against you.

Ego. Like lava it flows into a roleplay from it's maker's touch, destroying the land he sought to create. Only after Ego has been cooled, can written life spring into existence again.

"Greetings. My name is Salvyn. Would you lads care for a bite?"

The overly-dressed one turned around, distracted from his quiet contemplation and discreet observation of a certain individual by the whiff of burnt rye. Now facing a young man before him, fair of skin and free of scars. At least, as far as he could see. Blue eyes. Hmm. His hands held out a bag generously, within were the much needed supplies he sought for lunch. Oh lunch. The journey he took to this place was long and days of hardtack with salt water in the carriage was hardly a comfort, bread like this would atone for all that. He thought for abit,



"Generosity like yours is very rare these days, young man." A dry but sleek voice complimented the youngster. "Blessed be are those who give without asking." A gauntleted hand slipped out from under the poncho to draw a cross from temple to chest.

But alas, to take the bread means to eat it here and to eat it here means to take off his helm. Something he could not do now, nor did he want to sully the confection by holding it in his hand till a private moment - for maker-knows how long that would be.

"But I've had my meal-" No, he did not. "-just a while ago. Anymore and I won't be able to fit in this rusty old bucket." He said amusedly and his hand slipped back under the fabric. "Thank you still, my child."

He glanced towards the other young man who accompanied the bread-giver, he too looked slightly out of place. Slightly more squinted eyes, a skin colour between tan and fair that he does not remember seeing before. Hair as dark as night. These two were an odd couple. Most definitely. But the fact that they were here meant that they likely had skills, uncanny skills, that were required by this 'Order'.

Appearances did not matter, but the way they, or at lest one of them, - approached this knight, made them a welcomed sight indeed. If this is any indication of the 'Order's future disposition.
2) Magic and science are two separate entities that do not connect (or at least shouldn't). They can imitate one another but in the end they are completely different. As to crosses and faith it all comes down to the monster, the item you use, and your own faith. If you were to brandish a Christian cross to a vampire from a strictly Buddhist province it would do nothing. Brandish a cross made from the silver given to Judas to the same vampire and it will be a different story


Oh, so that's the premise?

But isn't Science just a concept how the universe works?

Then, in that case, what is alchemy? You mentioned alchemists in your introductions. My character makes use of an alchemical invention, isn't that Science or is that Magic? This concerns me. I'm slightly lost when you say that they are not connected here.
2. What's the nature of magic? I'd like to play a mage, but I'm really not sure how it'd fit here? Is magic a scientific thing (e.g. alchemy) or does faith play a part? Do crosses actually hurt vampires? Could you use prayers or chant verses from the Qur'an to fight a monster or cast a spell?

3. What's the Order's role in society? Social norms are pretty strict at this time period - are the Order's operatives a general exception, or are they expected to live up to normal standards of decency?@Talis

These are my opinions anyway and might not be how things are, but because you posted the question 9 hours ago saying that you were in the midst of making a character and there hasn't been a reply. I thought to chime in and help you out. :).
Darnit, removing my character profile from the Interest check!

But if you've read it, well ...erm ...your character gains +1 to dice rolls on religion skill checks? :D. Yeah.



The smell of dust, of stagnant water, of frankincense wafting from the many shops that littered the bazaar yonder...

"So this is Vatican City."

A man's metallic voice mused intrigued to himself, the fluted helmet he wore ringing and obscuring what expression he had then.

The carriage driver had twisted to look behind him as his eccentric passenger got off, apathetically anticipating that the tall armor clad figure would hit his head on the groove of the door on his way out. The large ones always do. He hesitated between letting the poor 'knight' know or listen on quietly for some entertainment of his own, but after a moment's pause and considering that he had recieved a fair sum for the journey and perhaps a shred of conscience- he let out a: "Watch your-"

...But his passenger was already nowhere to be seen, the excessive amounts of luggage were cleared from the cabin. Leaving just the imprint of where the man sat, slowly disappearing as the cushion rose back into shape.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Far within the city, in sights of a manor, a figure approached the dwelling's porch. Haphazardly drapped in a layer of jute in an attempt to to ward off the rain, the weather's dull light casted odd shadows on all caught within it.

As the figure approached he saw yet another man at the door under the shelter, or at least what he thought was another man. The shade made the being seem oddly proportioned, even a little larger than usual. "Hmm."

Till he got a closer look upclose, now no more than two feet beside the being who was indeed slightly taller, than even himself in all his own ironforged glory. He caught glimpses of the face behind the hood. Bits of a nose, the shape of eyes and hints of scarring. It was nothing much to to work with but the subject was definitely people... Or at least, people-esque.

While he seemed to scrutinize the door before them, He mused a second hollow "Hmmmm." perhaps a little more drawn out and Less jovial than the last.

Who are the players participating? There was mention of selection I recall, but no mention of names. Shall I pressume that all who made characters will be joining?
Right. I look forward to seeing your post. If you need any help with anything like images or stuff, I'm not good at GMing related things ...but html/formatting is something I can do, so ask away!


Nono, I'm sure it's during the celebrations. Mid-fireworks. He better be typing while they go off.
Yay!

Hi, I have a question.

How so we deal with secrets? Like, if there's something about my character that is in my character's history that won't be obviously apparent to everyone. Would I still put it in the character's history as per normal here?

I imagine everyone has a secret or two, especially the witches and magicians, who won't go around town yelling "LOOK AT MAH FIAHBAWL!!!" as it is the 1800s annd people were less acceptive then and there were still plenty of pitchforks lying around.

Do we trust the other players to keep the line between OOC and IC Info? Or do we PM you a seperate message detailing the naugghty bits? :)!
