Okay, I've got several different ideas for character concepts...any idea what the group dynamics are going to be, at least for the mages? For instance, the silent loner, the rebellious tomboy, a struggling mother, club dj, etc. Also, what traditions? Are there any you just don't feel like messing with, or are they all open? I'll get some stats posted as soon as I settle on a concept.

Ok from what I know about the RP:

you'll be looking for a fellow mage who went missing so you want to have someone who cares enough to do that.

Bassdoken is playing a hermetic and snefix an Etherite.

No traditions have been banned but this is FZs first time in WOD so don't be too crazy. Most things should be OK though.

As far as the archetypes you presented (you have a struggiling mother mage?) .. any would be ok as long as they would have reason to be involved in the search for this mage.

Wow, a Hermetic and an Etherite...no culture clash there, I'm sure...what tradition is the missing mage in question? Seemed kinda Hermetic, or I guess possibly Verbena...

I'm looking at a possible hardcore-combat Akashic Brother, laying waste to the bad guys and spouting random cryptic comments.

Or, a street-smart Hollow One type, irritated at the egotistical "Council of Nine" and trying to make her own way.

Or, a Verbena activist chick; if there's a minority being violated, she's protesting it. Also a possible Ren-faire buff.

Hmmm...decisions, decisions...

Actually, the "struggling mother" concept was outlined in the old guide to Orphans, which I was reading last night. You go, individualistic little Orphan mages!

Someone at some point said they wanted to be vamp, but I haven't heard any more on that. Either way, you can switch if you want, it wouldn't unbalance it that much.

Join the vampires, all it means is there is one more vampire my guy has to kill.

The vampires and werewolves are on opposing sides, correct?

At first, yes, Andy.

So far as I know, werewolves are like the Nazis of the supernatural. They tend to think every other supernatural creature should die as scourges of the earth...

Kind of like the amish.

Pretty much. Of course, some Hunters think EVERY Supernatural should die, so they might be the better Nazis...

And IHMN, you might be in for a suprise when you take on the vampire Elder...

Why would my Rank 1 werewolf be fighting Vampire Elders?
