OPEN CR MEME.

It's our first CR meme. Apps aren't yet open, so this is mostly a place to jam for anybody! If you comment to this meme, you have an invitation. Please use this space to talk about characters you're interested in apping, while I use this space to figure out how big the first round might be.

Please note that you do not have to app whatever characters you mention here, and you are not inextricably tied to whatever vampire abilities you discuss here. You're free to change your mind between here and apping.

The tentative open date is OCT 10, with apps opening OCT 05, so I figure we've all got plenty of time to get our ideas in order before then.

A reminder: This is a vampire-focused dark fantasy musebox. Please check out the faq (and feel free to ask me questions on the FAQ as needed!) Don't forget to join our discord server if you're feeling it, but you don't have to.

Some spoilers so you have things to plan around:
1. An ancient god has contacted you with terrible purpose.
2. Two pious clerics will aid you with their lives, if necessary. Will you make it necessary? Get to know them in the free demo below.
3. A maze, deep underground. The sun hides from you.
4. Hunger churns. Will you be able to keep your wits about you when prey is finally in view?
5. Feel free to ask for more questions about this below, though I don't want to spoil everything, I do want to give you something to plot around / look forward to.


CHARACTER INFO:

[personal profile] adnoto 2021-09-29 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
WHO: Carolyn/Kadath (Too Many Carolyns)
CHARACTER / FANDOM: Inquisitor Amberley Vail/Warhammer 40,000

VAMP ABILITIES: Pretty sure on Coffin Sleeper & Night Senses (for maximum handicap during the day and because having to deal with a religion that isn't hers will be Fun.) Could go either way on Long Fangs/Shark Fangs, because Amberley is 100% the kind of person who'd slit a throat and catch it in a glass even if she had dainty fangs.

CHARACTER DIRECTION: Amberley has almost certainly condemned entire worlds in her career as an Inquisitor, so killing is no problem. She'll find the blood cannibalism part abhorrent but will do it because she'd regard it as her duty to survive and call down the wrath of her peers on this place. What happened to her afterward wouldn't figure into her calculations. She has strong faith and a moral core, they're just a faith and morality incompatible with any kind of non-awful setting. The time frame of the game is probably not long enough to readjust her perspective unless there's a major metaphysical reveal that she finds trustworthy.

tl;dr she thinks she has to murder everyone here for the good of humanity, but it's nothing personal and she'll feel regretful about it

WANTED CR: Amberley's default "oh shit" mode is to pretend to be like 20 and flaky/in over her head so people underestimate/help her. Characters who buy it and characters who don't buy it are both great.

Also: Have you heard the word of our Savior, the God-Emperor of Mankind?

ANYTHING ELSE? warhammer is terrible, stay away

I can't believe we finally get to play together in this the year of our lorde 2019 !!

Also AMBERLEY ya ruthless, damn. Sad to say Dettlaff is deffo going to fit into the 'character who is going to buy the flaky act', but if nothing else, it's not like the ruse is hurting anyone.

....except for humans or whatever.

You don't get to be an Inquisitor without being willing to break a few billion eggs, okay. (It is hard to overstate how shitty the Warhammer universe is.)

Amberley's suuuuuuuuuuper racist against non-humans, but capable of seamlessly hiding it. She also compartmentalizes really well so she could even start liking him especially if he's useful.

I think that Nicte is the kind of person who would not buy this 20 flaky act but would be absolutely delighted by it

Amberley loves having people around who are onto her but acting like they're not onto her. When you've erected an enormous edifice of psychological distancing to protect your sanity from the horrifying reality of your job and the crapsack universe you live in, everything's a game!

I would love it if Lucifer fell for the act for a hot minute until there was any cause to doubt at which point he'd be like "oh wait hello" because what's not to love about a clever lady playing the angles?

but if she gets all religious then he'll be like uuughh, -5 respect, he thought you were cool

Warhammer religion is pre-modern Catholicism except God is a giant undead skeleton in a magi-tech life support chair and they pretty much churn out extremely violent "angels" in power armor via genetic engineering and cybernetics. Also Hell has a bunch of war fleets and keeps attacking planets.

Plus aliens.

No, your universe is weird.

Amberley's not conspicuously pious (the implication is she finds hyper-religious types tedious), so it's not likely to come up unless someone asks why all her cursing seems to involve this "Emperor" guy.

Also she knows precisely nothing about Christianity, so if he introduces himself as Lucifer she'll just be like "that is actually a perfectly normal Warhammer name, nice to meet you."

Oh nice nice. That's delightful. I'm really looking forward to CR where his name has zero street cred, and considering he's into watching movies and tv in canon I imagine he'll be tickled by sci-fi af religion as a concept once it's clearly not anything he's related to.

Whether any of this comes up or not, I'm interested to see where their cr could lead!

Please call her out on it sounding like Dune, which it does because Games Workshop unrepentantly stole the God-Emperor thing from Dune.
