Welcome to Gaia! ::

Inspired by Daidoji's NPC thread, what about those Player Character ideas that you've had that reek of Awesome, but that you know you'll never get a chance to play (due to them probably being unplayable, or horrically game-destroying).

Mine was a Malkavian with 2 personalities - one was an emotional 10 year old child, the other a hardened sniper/assassin. The trigger to switch personalities was the sound of rifle fire.

Antonio: A Baali who's line managed to survive by a mixture of adhering to Mystery Cults and laying low. Has dedicated himself to Moloch's purpose of protecting to true names of the Children he serves, and wiping out the diluted names that could still be used to wake his masters.

Heh, that's an old Baali trick actually. twisted

Karsh, Warlord of the Camarilla. He's such a beast that he doesn't even have physical stats. To paraphrase "his body is like diamond and he chops people in half."

I'd like to see a Dhampir (from Time of Thin Blood) teenager, trying to make it through high school. Bonus points if mom or dad (whichever is the thin-blood) is still around. Perhaps one or two other kids are demi-humans as well, either as friends or enemies. It would be the most absurdity you can get without violating canon (such as it is).

First and foremost, heh...yeah.

Second:



1) You mean you *haven't* seen all the anime/childrens books/other easily digested crap that gets churned out along these lines?
2) Despite the above, that would be fun to play.
3) A cat is fine too.

Actually, I'd say embrace the stereotype. Something like Great Teacher Onizuka (which is, actually a pretty good series) and Boy Meets World. That would make a good balance.

Make it too "Disney Channel" and you'll find yourself in a rediculously boring. Make it too grown up and it won't do anything to eliviate the pressure from the two darker games. It would be best, in fact try and take as much of the supernatural out of it or at least out of their hands. Try this set up:

One player as the Dhampir
One player as the Best Friend (the nerdier the better)
One player as a young and understanding teacher
One player in love with the Dhampir (but both too shy/not what he's looking for.

NPC's:
Jocks or Preps (nobody makes for better High School villians).
Leader (M)
Leader (F)
The "Debbies" (group of pretentious girls lead by Female Leader)
The "Boys" (group of douche bag friends lead by Male Leader)

Other things to take into consideration:
-One faculty member (NPC) knows about the Dhampir's "taint" and tries to hinder him/her at all costs.
-One faculty member is doing likewise, but is just a b***h/a*****e
-"Loser" clicks are good to remember too, there could be an interesting interplay between the main character and the Goths should they learn that he is an ACTUAL HONEST TO GOODNESS VAMPIRE (or at least half-vampire)
-Having a roving gang of nerdy, yet scary, Asians is comic gold. Stereotypes will work well here.
-One faculty member should be either a Mage or a Werewolf. Comedy ensues.

That's what I would. Actually, that's what I will do. s**t, new thread time!

I got bored once and as joke to my LARP ST friend who wanted a Malk in the story, I planned out one with several multiple personalities. And by several, I mean 7. All I can remember is there was an Irish drunk, a member of the British Parliament, and a British guard. It was hysterical when I handed him the stack of 7 character sheets .... Damn I wish I could find those.
