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.

[First time making a character here... any tips or reviews are welcome! :) ]

Player Handle: StakedSteak

Name: Juan Pedro Rubiera, a.k.a. "JP"

Age: 48

Place of birth: Granada, Andalusia, Spain

Age of embrace: 27

Clan: Ravnos

Sect: Independent

Species: Vampire

Derangements: Clan flaw - addicted to heroin

Disciplines:

Appearance: JP is a tall, slender man, standing at 6'3" ft and weighing approx. 165 lbs. His complexion is pale yet mediterranean, and his spiky black hair is shorn on the sides. He has languished hazel eyes, thick stern brows, a wide nose, small lips, chiseled jawline and a slightly protruding chin - a usually mean-looking face completed with a thick, wide soul patch. His slender, slightly hairy body is unremarkable except for its rather muscular calves and long wingspan.
JP prizes outfits that balance comfort, flexibility and protection, without forsaking a bit of style. For that purpose he wears a long, dark leather trench coat on top of a black sweatshirt, black jeans, and thick waterproof boots. The sweatshirt has "#YOLO" stamped on its front in white bold letters. JP's jewelry consists of basic silver rings on both ears, a silver crucifix necklace and a dark grey tungsten ring on his right ring finger.

Haven [WIP]: JP has just moved to a small studio flat, in Blossom Lane, Enfield. It is poorly furnitured, but as long as power and internet work, it suits this Ravnos' needs. JP's studio overlooks the Lavender Hill Cemetery.

History: "So, you would learn of JP Rubiera, the Deceiver from Andalusia who miraculously survived the Week of Nightmares and has now arrived to London? Very well, but mark my words - nothing is for free..."
"I was born in the city of Granada to a humble housemaid; never met my dad, and the one time mother ever spoke of him she said that he vanished before I was born. As such, we always struggled to make ends meet, but it was a good childhood, if not a merry one. Of course, it all changed at the age of fourteen. That was the year when my mother fell ill, as well as when I first started smoking. It was the beginning of a dark journey; one that inevitably led to my demise... and my rebirth."
"When my mom died, I went to live with my grandparents for a time. They helped me finish school and land an honest job as a delivery boy. For a while that worked well: I was able to rent a small studio and live on my own. When my smoking addiction became too obvious, however, the boss decided it was best to fire me, and I found myself unemployed at age 21. For the next five years, I would take on short time jobs - janitor, valet, cashier, tow truck driver, and even police officer! - to pay the bills. I went to rehab a handful of times, only to end up relapsing in a matter of weeks."
“I started dealing drugs at age 26, after being fired from yet another job. My cut was good - it allowed to sustain my place and my lifestyle perfectly - and the job was not overly dangerous, though I always carried a piece to make sure. The police caught me only one time, but they let me out once I gave them information on my associates' rivals; a clever move that earned me a position of power among my associates. Our boss, Alberto Montoya, made me responsible for the heroin transportation. I never failed him once."
"Nevertheless, this was no life for me. I was hooked to the nicotine, and it was gonna kill me sooner or later, in a slow, painful way. Thus I made a fatal mistake: attempted to kill myself with heroin. I remember nothing, really. I was already unconscious when Montoya showed up out of the blue and embraced me into Clan Ravnos. That night I became a vampire. Cool, huh?"
"Not really, no. I struggled very much with that change. It appears the mortals can't know us for what we are, and the others shunned us for our clan. There's no justice, I tell you... anyway, I served Montoya for three more years as his right-hand man, until the Week of Nightmares put an unfortunate, permanent end to our fellowship. I never approved of his decision to embrace me, and he certainly got what he deserved - but he was a friend to me, the only one I've ever had who shared my... condition."
"I've been traveling around Europe since then, expanding the business Montoya started, of which I still hold a small share. I've been cautious enough to avoid other vampires; Ravnos are rare and scared of each other since that damned week, and the other clans still have trouble accepting the possibility of peaceful coexistence. Nevertheless, I have hopes that London will be different. The state of the Jyhad there should allow me to blend in more easily, and maybe even make some profit on top of the cut I get from my cartel associates; that is, before the more self-righteous vampires (or just about any Gangrel) decide to drive me out with a stake. If the local Ravnos are unwilling to help or non-existent, I will ponder throwing my luck with the Anarchs; for now, I should remain inconspicuous and try to find the Ravnos community in this city."

- Juan Pedro Rubiera

Notes: - In terms of personality, JP is usually cool and collected. He is outgoing, even if his expression may seem rather unfriendly.
- JP carries a USP pistol in his trench coat at all times, as well as a switchblade in his jeans' pocket. He's a skilled kickboxer and student of the Keysi fighting method.
- He speaks Spanish (mother tongue) and English (limited proficiency).
"To have died once is enough." - Virgil
