Characters

Joining the Court of the Storm Dragon is mainly a matter of recognition and approval by the Masters. IC, one can assume much background referencing and checking is performed to insure a spy or psycho isn't allowed into the sanctuary. That includes the prevention of Technocrat, Marauder, and Nephandi spies. When submitting one's character's name to be added to the TUGs roster, please include only his Tradition.

The only limitations are in the core Advantages: no Masters or characters with Arete exceeding 5 will be allowed. This has less to do with potential power abuse and more to do with illogical social stratification. The leaders of the chantry are and always will be background NPCs that will almost never be seen (except in plotlines a player may choose to run).

Below is a current character roster of those PCs involved in the DFP. Even the most basic information regarding these characters (Tradition, Rank) must be discovered IC. Only the name of the player of the character will be listed; contacting said player is left to his peers' devices (the mailing list is one method).

The NPC leaders are as follows, noting that they are Masters but no stats are listed -- this is left solely to the imagination of any player who wishes to use them in a plotline. Note that many times over on this webpage, mention of “permission of the Masters” has been made. This is simply an allusion to the OOC freedom of players who may wish to modestly run those NPCs to host or participate in certain individuals’ Storylines (see more below about Storytelling).
