We might be close to reaching Peak Alice in the party. Daeva would probably work for you, Gilgamesh

Yeah, looking at the different clans, daeva seems to fit perfectly - manipulation with a side order of stabbin' if that doesn't work. Hmm, I'll change her name from Alice to something else. Victoria. That sounds upper-class enough.

You know, I think I'll rework my character, since upon thinking about it Jimmy Ng doesn't seem to be that much of anything.

Oh, I know! A Nosferatu named Alice. Sounds good!

Everyone shall be named Alice.
Alice A, B, and C, assemble!

Though my chracter's called Victoria now.

What a shame. Imagine the awkwardness! We'd have to refer to each other by our last names exclusively. It'd be like a sci-fi novel, but with more vampires (works dedicated to space vampires notwithstanding)!

You're right, that is kind of disappointing.

"What's your names?"
"Alice."
"Alice."
"Alice."

EDIT: do we also have to choose a bloodline with the clan?

Plot twist: The cult was actually named The Cult of Alice.
Not really, though.
I'll start as soon as we get another player or two. I'm still waiting on someone who said they'd be interested.

Okay, new character concept worked out (although perhaps linking it again wasn't entirely necessary). It's Alice, she's a Satanist lab tech, and she had a friend named Alice who is not the Alice who already is another PC. Now 50% more rich in character!

Also, I chose clan Nosferatu and picked Composure as the favored attribute - that just means adding an extra dot to the attribute in question, right?

Also, as a side note, I'm sorry to say that, starting next Monday, I will be gone for about twelve days, maybe a few more on top of that. If you get more players, maybe you can start me out a bit later?

I'm interested. Give me a bit to make a sheet.

Yeah, I can't resist, my character's name is restored as Alice.

The Alices will defeat all.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to undermine the game just yet... but I think it's entirely conceivable that Alice Drinkwater would want to take on an edgier name once she realised she was in fact a vampire, so it might not end up as silly as it could be.

This reminds of one school I went to when I was a kid, I was in a class with five Lauras.

It does seem reasonably plausible, kind of like there being three Johns in a group of people. Improbable, granted, but plausible. I suppose I could change my name if you really feel it's undermining things badly enough. I just really felt like railing against the One Steve Limit.

Well, yes. We will probably take on more interesting names later on if the need arises. And yes, Laura is another really common name in many parts of the world.

The character I have in mind is unfortunately Spanish, so it will have to be Alice, Alice, Alice, and... Alicia. Thank you, Behind the Name.
