Current I'm a pretty good writer and former site staff; I still deal with imposter syndrome every time I log on. You're definitely not alone. And t's worth trying anyway.

I just finished The Secret History, a very Gen X book. Never Let Me Go before that, which I'd recommend to any writer outside the MFA atmosphere who wants to know emotonal restraint.

Well no, I mean I'd expand on the other members of the family and play them as well, but the only one I've given a lot of thought to is this one bastard. I'll get started on a preliminary draft.


Got'cha. =) Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Well, I didn't have anything big thought out. I was considering taking House Qorgyle and focusing on a bastard son of the family, but that's as far as I've gotten as far as plotting it out goes.


Just one character, and a bastard at that, is probably going to leave you with few IC options.
I can't write on coke. I've tried. My inability to sit still only got way worse.....go figure.

Xanax, Vicodin...like writing drunk, I think.

Can't focus enough to write on X.

Shroom caps, same deal.

Pot and alcohol I can write under the influence of, but I actually enjoy plotting under their influence more than writing under their influence. Poor Siri having to take plot notes from an intoxicated me so I don't forget them. ^_^
Start pulling out memes and graphs and gif charts and mfin' powerpoint presentations and I'm gonna have to ask you to take it to PMs. =p
Crofter and her Coterie's doom have been claimed, sorry if you missed out on the chance! Hopefully there won't be many others of this sort, but odds are there will be at some point down the line. ^_^

I'll let those picked know over PMs so they can start hashing out details with the GMs.

Thanks!


Name: Cameron Noel
Clan: Ventrue
Generation: 8th

Noel is no novice to the unlife. Sired long ago in the Old World, Noel spent much of his unlife as a cog in the Camarilla machine of Paris. More a path of least resistance than an actual devotion, what really inspired Noel was the opera and the way art and politics mixed so frequently in the salons of Parisian nightlife. The first time he saw a motion picture, the young Kindred knew genius when he saw it. When he arrived in turn of the century Los Angeles and the neophyte Hollywod, he was devastated to learn there were already Kindred on the scene, most notably Isaac Abrams and Louis Fortier.

In Los Angeles Noel finds himself not a young Kindred, but an elder. And though he has always been happy to spend all his time in the never-ending machinisms of modern Hollywood, recent chaos provided an opening for Cameron to strike out and end both Abrams and Fortier, consolidating his influence and power within Hollywood. Though he believes there are greater, older, Kindred secretly pulling the ultimate chords of power within Hollywood, Noel also believes he was allowed to put down Abrams and Fortier and gain that larger foothold in Hollywood by those secret elder Kindred he presumes exist. Secretly, this is Cameron Noel's reason for feeling bold enough and strong enough in Los Angeles to declare himself the Prince of Los Angeles.

After the fall of Crofter, many overt Camarilla supporters have begun to find themselves in Noel's camp, as Noel begins to build his power base in the city, casting one role after another in what Noel hopes will be his ultimate premiere.

(Questions about Mr. Noel? Want to know how he might see your faction? Want to have some history with him already, good or bad? Whatever questions or ideas you have regarding the first of the Big Pretenders, let us know via PMs!)
Wonder where the GMs stand on something? Well we're all about letting intelligent folks with varying viewpoints hash things out on their own. A little more specific? Yes, we're aware of Anemones character's potential power in the IC. We knew Anenome was going to bring in some Demon and Wraith flavors, minor a presence as they are in the setting compared to the Kindred and Kuei-jin. Fun accessory to the game, I thought. And even if I don't understand all of it, turns out I don't need to just to ensure Anemone's faction doesn't break the setting or throw off balance.

Okay, with that out of the way, onto the first of the Big Pretenders!
Speaking of stuff to do: As lead up to the Big Rant, Zach and I will be highlighting NPCs your characters, and ours, should know. These will mostly be the 'self proclaimed' bosses of Los Angeles. Each of these is both a threat, and a target, to your own characters. No matter how minute your faction may seem to you, they're after you--not after your unlife, but after your support. And they don't like taking no for an answer.

Expect the first of these, a self styled 'Prince of Los Angeles', to be posted shortly. =)
House Templeton is approved.
Oh, not done for the shock value. More trying to make a silver lining out of losing a good player with a fun character. =)
