Normal vampires do get paler as they age and Assamites get darker, but at the neonate level that doesn't really matter.

Added into that there are signifigant numbers of people of Middle Eastern and East Indian descent in the city and ethnicity isn't that reliable a guide (even if Assamites were all of Middle Eastern descent, an erronous presumption to begin with).

Your characters can make whatever assumptions they want, but that's all they are. And you could be very wrong.

Well than I'll PM you a background and if it's passable than Devon can go back to monkish solitary contemplation or he can be taken for questioning on the disappearance and never seen again or whatever.

Considering the fate of people who "disappear and are never seen again" in my table tops games *shivers*.

*looks around* I'll bite, sure. If it's not too late (I don't think it is.)

*looks at the other characters* Alright, my malk girl who thinks she's a mage is out... Hmmm. Hey Imp, any chance I could play my Lasombra "antitribu" from the Librium game? Only without him being a lying bastard that was only there to kill the city in the name of the Sabbat? In other words be actually an antitribu.

I'll keep thinking of ideas regardless, *grumbles about stupid Camarilla and how he still can't play a Tzimisce because of it.*

I did too, and mine was in a MTE game, quite a while ago.

Heh.

Yep. Lots and lots of fun when your job is to foment chaos without getting directly caught. Except when that one werewolf found me and fucked me up... twice.

Yes, you can play a Lasombra or even an independent Tzimisce.

Some basic info on my character.

The Lasombra Antitribu, Mark Bianci, has been a resident of Vancouver for about ten years now and a kindred for just over half a century, and for such a short time the kindred has had a rather meteoric rise in power and popularity. He is a well known kindred within the city for his constant fighting of the enemies of the city and his ability to gain power in the courts of the city. Mark has taken on the voice of his sire, Antonio Falconi, an ancient Lasombra Antitribu of some import both within the city and without. Mark's stated reason for being in the city is to help protect such an important city from the machinations of Kuie-Jin and Werewolves, but he is a Lasombra, and it is generally accepted that there are other reasons that he is there.

Mark himself is a tall and thin attractive man with short black hair and brown eyes. He is usually immaculately dressed in fine attire and has a home on the coast of the island. Despite his rich tastes however, Mark does not act like many of the aristocracy, looking down on others for the actions of themselves or their clans rather than for their manner of dress or speech.

How very interesting, indeed. This almost has a "post-End Times" sort of feel to it, in the variance in clans and such.

This is going to be fun.

Are you sure you want his house to be on the island Cyran? The city of Vancouver is on the mainland and though maybe he can afford it, taking a helicopter or sea plane or even the ferry back and forth all the time might get annoying. Just making sure you're aware.

Oh, I thought the city was on the island, my bad. In that cas he lives on the coast still but not on the island. Much easier than dealing with all that ferrying and such.

I suppose so. Don't expect to see much of him though. He spends a lot of time on his boat. :D

Vampires are unlikely to own or rent property in an easily traceable name. Those interested in tracking Kingdom might have better luck with vampiric information sources.

The phone call was an 'information network' shot in the dark to be sure, but my last act was to ask Lucky Jim, who was still at the gallery... and seemed to be the one everyone knows. I thought maybe you were dealing with Dahak before responding to my line.

Hey, you know three clans that are good at breaking into places they're not supposed to? Lasombra, Brujah, and Assamite. * :wink: :wink: nudge nudge* :D
