Persistent Worlds.

I do not think we should have a discussion about the former PW in here, it would be more productive looking forward not back.

@Inkarnate

Very much this.

World of Darkness: City of Angels

I'm interested, just don't want to be subjected to random beatings and all. Don't really feel like playing a powerful character this time, just a gun toting human.

@Grec

Plenty of room for that.

World of Darkness: City of Angels

Hope I'm not too late to the party!

Here is my application.

Lothaire

Name:

Lothaire Loyonia

Age:

Actual 67. Appears late 20’s/Early 30’s.

Species:

Kindred

Clan:

Baali

Generation:

8th Generation

Personality:

Lothaire is a calm, composed individual, who rarely raises his voice, and carries himself with an air of cool sophistication. Whilst he is no stranger to violence, Lothaire does not engage in needless sadism, and outwardly appears to be a reasonably cordial individual, with the exception of extremely tense situations.

The vampire’s gracious demeanor hides a merciless and calculating killer, who will stop and nothing to further his understand of forbidden occult secrets. In a manner more typical of a Tzimisce than most Baali, Lothaire prides himself on his eloquence, and takes great personal offence at displays of impoliteness.

Lothaire views both Kindred and Kine as his own personal playthings, and enjoys studying the intricacies of their respective societies. The vampire delights in his own analysis of the world around him, and fascinated by that which brings both pleasure and pain to those who cross his path.

Biography:

Lothaire was born in the tiny village of Yerimiheh, in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. A small and impoverished community, the people of Yerimiheh lived in an underdeveloped and ill-supplied village, rampant with poverty.

Lothaire himself lived a childhood that was fairly unremarkable for a young man hailing from Yerimiheh, struggling with famine and illiteracy.

When Lothaire reached young adulthood, a man calling himself “Zavala” came to Yerimiheh, who styled himself as a prophet of the Aztec gods; bringing with him a cohort of zealous followers. Zavala had little trouble swaying the natives of Yerimiheh into joining his dark cult, and those who refused him soon found themselves sacrificed in the gruesome rituals that Zavala and his followers performed in the caves outside of Yerimiheh.

Zavala’s cult quickly assumed full control of Yerimiheh, and began using the townspeople as lab rats in their dark experiments. When Lothaire’s little sister was whisked away in the night to be used in one such experiment, the young man brazenly confronted Zavala in a display of defiance that had otherwise gone unseen.

Zavala found Lothaire’s rebellion amusing, and had his followers drag the young man into the caves outside of Yerimiheh, to take part in what he described as a “very special ritual”. Lothaire was brought before a pit of rotting corpses, including that of his sister, before Zavala revealed his true monstrous nature to his hapless prey, and drained him of all but the faintest speck of life. Lothaire was then cast into the pit, near death, and buried beneath a mound of necrotic flesh.

Believing these to be his final moments, Lothaire used the last of his strength to rummage through the pit of corpses in search of his sisters, but when he happened upon the young girl’s body, Lothaire felt something dark and primal calling to him from within her. Clawing through the remains of his sister, Lothaire drank the portion of Zavala’s vampiric blood that the dark one had hidden inside her, and found himself reborn as a member of clan Baali.

Zavala greeted Lothaire with open arms, taking him under his wing as his newest childe, and spent the next few decades teaching him the ways of the occult, as well as affording him the education that he had missed during his childhood.

Lothaire fed off of Zavala’s knowledge, but never forgave him for what he had done to Yerimiheh. Although the vampire became increasingly inhuman as the years went by, he secretly vowed revenge against his sire, and Zavala was far too arrogant to suspect him. Once he was certain that he was starting to surpass Zavala's own dark knowledge, Lothaire trapped his sire, and his followers, in the caves outside of Yerimiheh; lighting a fire which was spread to consume them, and the rest of the village.

After that fateful night, Lothaire began traveling the world in search of greater knowledge of the occult; expanding his understanding of hellish magics, and furthering his own dark plans.

Too late, go away.

Zeke and I already hammered out a rough timelime, so that won't take long.

Also working on Yanci's CS.

Hey @Ruby &@Ezekiel! Glad to see you have a new WoD RP, and I'd love to throw my interest in if you're still accepting.

@Hallion Love your character idea and maybe we can co-partner as I have a Nosferatu in mind.

Anyway, good to see this normalized (for the most part).

@Rawk

Hey Rawk! Still accepting, sure. :)

Likewise we have a Discord!

Persistent Worlds.

We finally have some resolution on the Persistent World RP sub-forum:

Expanding Horizons will move to a regular RP thread. While we're still not entirely sure how the mechanics behind this one will work, if you're involved in Expanding Horizons, now is a good time to go in and save your content from it--just in case not every thread gets moved over. I've spoken with Mahz a few times about it in the last week, so this outcome is just a matter of time.

Many people still seemed interested in the Persistent World idea, and were hoping site staff would try the concept again with a different idea, and a different crew behind the idea. Took us some time to get user feedback, and discuss among ourselves but in the end we decided that the Persistent World idea should be tried again, not simply folded after the decision to move Expanding Horizons to regular RP sub-forums.

The two most common requests we heard; site staff should be involved somehow, and the next Persistent World RP should be a popular fandom.

Took us a little while to firm up ideas and get the ball rolling (not that anyone noticed while the site was down), but now that it's up we feel ready to announce that the next Persistent World roleplay, well, it might even be more accurate to call it a Persistent Galaxy roleplay...

The details as of now:

Expect the Star Wars PW roleplay to launch shortly after the Expanding Horizons PW roleplay is moved. (Likely two to three weeks.)

The Star Wars PW roleplay will be ran by a group of GMs. (Yes, if you GM and are a Star Wars fanatic, contact me on the site or in Discord about helping to run/plot the game. Still accepting GMs for the game.)

No, the group of GMs hasn't yet finalized a decision on which era the game will take place in.

The idea for this game is to allow most people to jump in and go if they want. For example: want to play a Jedi Padawan? Grab your lightsaber and go. Make a character sheet, post it--it wouldn't need approval for your Jedi Padawan to begin play. Want to play a Jedi Knight? Well now, that one would be powerful enough at the start to need character approval.

In the next few weeks we'll illustrate just where the line between characters needing approval, and those not needing approval, will be.

The game will be open to any RPer on the Guild: Free, Casual, or Advanced.

More details as they come. For now, direct questions to those GMs for the Star Wars Persistent World roleplay already selected: @Ezekiel, @Sep, @Heat. Likewise you're more than welcome to simply direct your questions to me.

Or come find us on the RPGuild Discord server in the Star Wars PW chat channel.

Thanks!

<Snipped quote by Plank Sinatra>

If we're going by current timeline (the RP is set in 2017), then yes, the Gangrel have long split from the Cam since I believe that happened at the turn of the 21st Century. That being said, you can't assume every clan member has, but it's also safe to say that they would probably appear to other Gangrel as "traitors".

@Hallion

Not a bad answer! But not correct for our game.

All the "Final Nights" events like Gangrel bouncing from the Camarilla has not yet occurred. The Gangrel issue, I believe, will be brought up when Henry and Yanci sit down with Founder-Justicar Hardestadt.
