THE MONSTER OF EALING
Last night, several people reported the sighting of a "screaming red monster" in a quiet neighbourhood of Ealing. After a power shortage in the area, a building caught fire. It was then when, what was described as a "man shaped, footless creature" emerged from the flames, leaping, running, and screaming. One woman has told our reporters that the man had "teeth like a wolf, and the face of the devil". Police officers are still trying to get to the bottom of this; neither the power shortage nor the fire have still been explained. A spokesperson from Scotland Yard has stated that the "so called monster" might be a wounded person, escaping the fire.

TRAGEDY IN TOOLEY STREET
The police has found the bodies of three TFL workers in the construction site at Tooley Street. One of their colleagues raised the alarms last week, when the three workers didn't attend their shifts. The bodies of the men have been found in a deep hole, uncovered by the refurbishment works that are taking place in the area. According to the Police, the bodies were horribly mutilated, which has led to the wildest speculations. The names of the three workers are being kept anonymous, following the wishes of their families.

HOROSCOPE
MARCH 8 - PISCES
You are used to making sacrifices, to prioritising the happiness of others before yours. Even though that is a noble attitude, there are times in life where the only healthy alternative is to embrace your own selfishness and allow yourself some enjoyment. Reserve one hour per day to do something you really like. Treat yourself! Your colour for this month is blue.
Echoes from the past ring back into London. Their intensity increases until they are deafening. What once was a faded memory of a glorious time, now becomes a shocking reality. The consequences of actions taken decades ago ripple into the present, altering the lives of everybody in the City. Unguided and blind, Kindred wander around, trying to make profit out of the reigning chaos.


The appearance of four mysterious figures turned the city upside down. Mistrust and jealousy became the official currency of London. Serpents and fiends rise to power, misdirecting the blaming eyes of the Camarilla towards imaginary enemies. Only those with clear vision and the ability to trust each other strive, while the rest run towards a shallow grave.

Welcome To The Night

You find yourself in London on a dreary, foggy night like any other. But what lurks in the shadows is the stuff of fantasies and nightmares, far from mortal reality.

This game uses the cursed and immortal vampiric condition as a backdrop to explore themes of morality, depravity, the human condition, salvation, and personal horror. We are a writing and roleplaying community dedicated to telling complex and engaging stories.

Your fate is your own. Mingle among the ivory-tower elite in the Camarilla, join the fight of the discontented and chaotic Anarch rabble, or set out independently and attempt to survive in London's nighttime underworld. Anything is possible in our World of Darkness.

Okay, I made up my mind on the character I want to play, but before I submit the sheet I'd like to see if I can find some IC contact, so I can get involved more naturally. I might adjust the secondary details of my story accordingly, thereof I am opening the discussion before completing my bg.

My PC is going to be an idealist Brujah, a student from Northern Italy who joined the Resistance in the '40s and was embraced just after the war. Her sire was a Brujah of the old school so her education was influenced by promethean ideals and the principles of entelechy. While she does see the reasons of the Anarchs, she begrudgingly sticks with the Camarilla since the priority is opposing the Sabbat; she supports the Masquerade as a means to protect the humans and innocents in general (yeah, there would be no need to lie and hide if everybody were wise... but I see a really big "if" in the premise, don't you?). She has travelled the world although I haven't decided where and why yet. More details later - the general concept is enough by now, I guess.

So... anyone here I might reasonably know? Any reason why I should be in London besides "I change city and identity every so often"?

Oh and I'd need to know which areas of Northern Italy were controlled or contended by the Camarilla in the '40s (I can't find it in the manuals I have at hand!) so any information or reference would be welcome.

There are a few Italian characters, but none of them that old really. Keeper Leola Cira Mancini is from Roma and has been Toreador for twenty years, I believe.

Our newest Ventrue, Alessandra Carter, looks to be from Caravaggio, near Milano. She's been Kindred for about thirty years now.

Neil Dunsirn spent some time in Venice, I gather from skimming his bio, but I don't think you'd be too into Giovanni contacts. I've also got a Giovanni alt, named Romano, but he's not active right now.

I don't know of any other chars that have been through Italy in their character history, though. Are there any other countries your prospective character might have passed through or worked in/around, so far? I'm sure it'd be helpful to decide on those first, since Italy looks a bit lacking for now.

I'm inclined to think that most of Italy is dominated by the Giovanni, actually. But I could be wrong. I'd venture to guess that if there's a strong Camarilla presence there, it'd be in Northern Italy. Lombardia, maybe Roma and in between. Probably some Toreador presence in Tuscany.

I hope this helps!

Hey!

Something far deep down in my memory tells me, northern Italy had a severe Werewolf problem.

and I'm not sure, if it's canon, or just a memory from a chronic I played, but around Firenze, Volterra and stuff was Sabbat, that's Tuscany, i don't know, if you count that to northern Italy too ;-)

I know Milano has been a Camarilla domain since the '90s, but it was a Sabbat stronghold before that. Venice is under the Giovanni, of course, but i am not sure about other places. In the LARP I play here we have other details but they are not canon. Most of my old character had been at some point in Turin, which is considered a Camarilla domain, but I don't know if it was made up by the masters (as soon as I see one of them I'll try to ask, now that I think about it).

Anyway this is only relevant for the first years. For IC contacts nationality doesn't really matter. We might have met a few years ago in some place... as long as it makes sense and gives good perspective for RP. Mostly I am seeing who's 1.interested and 2.is a likely connection for my pc (I mean, if you are a tzimisce who's into building human centipedes, even if we are from the same city I doubt we are pen pals).

Now that you mention it... Naah, just kidding.

Maybe Max Keller can be a good contact for you. He is a Brujah, and it doesn't get more old school than that guy.
Oh no! My souffle!

Iakov spent considerable time traveling in Italy during the early 70's. Not sure if he'd play nice though. depends on what you had in mind!

Nice to hear that you will be playing the idealist Brujah. :)

Max could be your Brujah´s contact indeed.
He has lived only in Dresden though during the time your character has been kindred.
So they can only know each other if she has been in Dresden, too, for a while.

If Dresden was the last city were she lived before she came to London, then Max could have persuaded...eh convinced her to come to London, too...or he could simply have told her about London and she had the idea to go to London, too.
They could even be planning some project then that they might like to do together in London.
At the moment Max is living in both cities, London and Dresden, travelling back and forth.
But in the long run he will very likely fully settle down in London.

Just a suggestion. If you like our characters ot be connected we could discuss it in more detail by PM.

Leola is Italian, and has a good relationship with the brujah.

Unfortunately, she was embraced in Chicago and hasn't spent much time in Italy... Not since a few scattered trips home during a decade as a ghoul, which is three decades prior to now. I could create a story about her touring a vitae producer in northern Italy, at some point in her recentish past...

Aside from that, being Italians it makes sense even if they don't know each other you visit the Italian keeper at Muse ( once she's back on duty)

I play Alessandra Carter, who Matias already mentioned. Lessa wasn't even born yet, in the 40's, but no reason they couldn't have met later on, anyway. Most of the time she was in Italia after her embrace she was in Roma, but she would have possibly made periodic trips to the Milano area to check on her family. I also have time spent in both France and Germany in her background, but there could have been short trips during her Agoge to places that didn't get mentioned, as well.

All of this to say that I would be happy to be a contact, if you would like to set something up. (Though she IS the new girl in town, so wouldn't be the reason your character came to London, regardless.) She's a Ventrue, but she's a rather odd Ventrue. Second best friend she ever had, and someone she considered to be the younger brother she never had was a Brujah. While that was fairly recent, she's never really been "classist". ;)

Also, can I just say kudos to everyone for giving the REAL names of the cities instead of the Anglified versions?

Currently I am having a talk with the mods to figure out the configuration of Italian domains ... If can't find a suitable one or I have a better idea overall, I am changing the background in favour of a less historical one (same personality, thoug) and we'll see.
