Interested. Will take my sweet time making a good sheet for a game as promising as this.

[micelus]

Well it isn't Earth so it can't really be put into a time period but lets say...roughly 10th century Europe with some things different because of magic?

I meant this post. *Ahem*

Heil grammar Hitler and all that.

That is awfully pedantic. Suffice to say, game posta will be edited for grammar, if that's the worry here.

Here is my entry.

François Du Gris

François is one of the few grey vampires. His skin is the color of stone. His eyes are like the morning fog above a bloody battlefield. He dresses as the living do (will update this when I know more of the culture). One would think he is a minor aristocrat. His clothes are almost always dark grey with sanguine accents. François is not as gaunt as many of his whiter brethren, but still quite thin by living standards. Many of his kin believe this to be because he is a young vampire, others believe it has to do with his strange origins, but they are both wrong. François is quite old, but while many withered away, he stayed well fed. He has the look of a true vampire: a hunter.

Covenant: The Red Leech Le Brouillard Gris (Minor Covenant.)
The Red Leech was thought to be a dead covenant. They disappeared when vampires were at their peak and were completely absent during the time in which vampires power was withering. Some even claimed that their disappearance was a sign that the time of vampires was coming to an end. Now they have mysteriously returned as Le Brouillard Gris. Albeit they are smaller than they were before, but by no means a covenant to be taken lightly. Not a single gris will speak of the disappearance or of their strange coloration and abilities.

Backstory: François is an enigma. Some remember him from centuries long past. They remember François when he was a blanc. He was a gifted hunter and would never go thirsty. His brethren warned him that if he did not stop feeding so often, the living would become frantic. Then he and the rest of the Red Leech disappeared. Now he has returned from the dead as a Gris.

Claim to Fame: François was elected to attend this rendez-vous. The other Gris seem to revere François, but also tread lightly around him. Mostly this comes off as them being respectful.

I'll PM you about the rest. It wouldn't make sense for the other vampires to know of my artifacts and abilities since this is the first interaction my covenant has had in several hundred years.

Spoiler: Character sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Mardak Riltierd
Appearance: a short, thin man, with the appearance of a man in his late forties. He uses a trimmed beard and moustache, and appears to be looking elsewhere, never making eye contact, even when speaking to those who are directly in front of him.
Covenant: Seekers of the Dark.
Backstory: Mardak was a sorcerer apprentice, a mediocre one at that. He had reached the position due to the favorable place of his parents among low-ranked noblemen, and his obsessive curiosity, which was his only trait that could be called more or less positive. Mardak's meeting with the vampire folk was... unusual, at best. He witnessed the abduction of a lowly noble by a group of vampires, a fact totally unbeknownst to him by that time. He followed the abductors until he lost them, but kept investigating afterwards, without much success. Eventually, he found the now-turned nobleman, and, perplexed, he confronted him. It was almost a public embarrassment, hadn't the noble managed to evade most of his questions with some degree of skill. Still, young Mardak was not satisfied, and futilely pursued more answers on the following days. Eventually, the nobleman moved away from the city, but apparently spoke about Mardak to his partners. Not achieving much, Mardak continued his studies, eventually becoming a fully trained, yet still mediocre sorcerer. It was because of his obsessive nature, not his skills with magic, that eventually he was abducted by some members of the alliance of sorcerers. Having found what was really happening, he gleefully accepted the gift of immortality. Unfortunately for him, his lack of skills made him get shunned by most sorcerers of the covenant. As such, he came to the Seekers, where he felt at home, studying the hidden dark arts, and becoming, this time, a competent summoner of the dark things from beyond.
Claim to Fame: to increase the dominion, and hopefully the available sacrifices for the covenant.
Artifact: a sacrificial dagger, wicked and full of spikes. It is whispered that it may unleash the soul of those sacrificed with it, which can be then stored for other sacrifices or unleashed as a wraith.
Assets: some fledgling cultists.
Intrinsics: well, he is good with summoning, and with investigating things.

[micelus]

Hmm people seem to be misinterpreting what an asset is. Its an object or person. Places come under Dominions and as such no one starts with them. Besides that, everything is great.

Name: Rupert Reiher
Appearance: Standing around an impressive 180 cms with ebon hair and stark sapphire eyes, rupert cuts an impressive figure between his build and youthful look. Typically clothed in unassuming garb only his size tends to bring about attention.

Covenant: The Praetorian Guard

Background/Description: Rupert's history is long, as befitting a member of the praetorians. Firmly prominent as one of the better examples of the guard's martial ability, rupert has fought on countless of battlefields for far longer than anyone can count, and done so from the frontlines of such. Many tales abound of a peerless warrior over the ages that single-handedly wiped out entire warbands, companies and parties of warriors without ever seemingly sustaining injury.

Of course, while an able fighter, Rupert has no tolerance for intrigues and typically remains aloof in regards to such matters preferring merely to let his abilities talk. Rupert has, however, occasionally acted as a tool or enforcer in a plot. This is mostly out of part of pragmatism given that he usually offers his services to the controller of a dominion in exchange for being allowed access to such, typically staying a few months before moving on.

Two things Rupert commits to which set him apart from his peers however. Firstly is a respect for the order of the sun, given that if he was younger, he'd likely been part of that covenant himself. The other, is a little more drastic; Rupert's feeds solely on bandits, raiders and other criminals. This is some borne from pragmatism, as no-one typically cares about a murderer in a dungeon suddenly turning up dead, or the drained bodies of brigands lying next to the roads.

Claim to Fame: In part via him volunteering, and most of the others preferring not to be parted from their current dominions. Rupert himself, whilst skilled, held little in regards to dominions back west.

Artifact: All players start with at least a single artifact based on their Backstory and/or Covenant. This is chosen by the GM but may be suggested by players.
Assets: All players begin with at least one Asset. This is chosen by the GM but may be suggested by players.
Intrinsics: Attributes that are inherently part of your character that result in actual effects. Chosen by GM but may be suggested by players.

[micelus]

We've got enough people to start but the sheets still need to be finished and I guess I'll wait a bit longer so that people from other timezones might get a chance to play.

[Cheesecake]

Give me an hour! I'm still sleepy.

[Playergamer]

Uh, I currently cannot make a sheet. Give me 3 hours?

[micelus]

Of course.

Spoiler: Virgil Torelli (click to show/hide)

Name: Virgil Torelli
Appearance: Brown eyes, brown hair, a bit above average height, muscular but otherwise normal build. When out and about, he wears normal clothes. When he's on the job, he wears mostly black, hooded clothes and a cloth mask.
Covenant: The Black Knife, a new covenant based on assassination and stealth co-founded by Virgil.
Backstory: Virgil basically grew up in the underworld alongside his best friend Roger. As children, they relied mostly on burglary and mugging, and as they grew older they took on jobs from people as intimidators and even hired murderers. When they hit what they considered to be the primes of their lives, they became vampires so they can maintain their youth and strength forever, after which they promptly assassinated and disposed of their sire. For two decades, they became better and better assassins as there was rarely a shortage of people wanting other people dead. Seeing as there was no covenant based on assassination (or at least none that they knew of), they decided to found their own covenant.
Claim to Fame: Is travelling with Roger to the East to entrench his new covenant's position as an important power while there's still no competitors.
Artifact: Feather Boots, a pair of magical boots that boost the wearer's mobility, softens their footsteps, and reduces fall damage. Gained by trading away an artifact that was found in one of their target's homes.
Assets: Roger Urien, Virgil's best friend. While Virgil handles most of the actual killing and sneaking these days, Roger's the one who takes contracts, gathers information, and buys supplies. He's still decent at stealth and combat, though.
Intrinsics: Third Eye, an ability that muffles all senses except for sight. All enemies and targets within line of sight are focused on, allowing them to be picked out from crowds or from hiding as well as granting a small combat bonus against them.

I noticed there was no assassination covenant so I thought to myself, "why not?" The fluff isn't great, I know, but it's the best I could come up with.

[Cheesecake]

Finished with my sheet. It seems graveyard doesn't count as an asset, so maybe an Igor-like assistant?

[Vacio]

I am also almost done writing as well. 

Edit 1: Fianlly Finished
