Presas de Ouro


Characters


Joining any sect is mainly a matter of recognition and approval by the Prince or Ancestor. Assignment from a distant Sabbat leader is required to become an infiltrator in the Presas de Ouro game. Staying independent is much easier, but doesn’t hold much promise of getting anywhere in unlife. The Anarchs crave only freedom, and loathe the halls of intrigue and fanatic crusades of the sects. But to join any sect IC, one can assume that enough Auspex/Obligation-based observation is performed to insure a spy or genuine psycho (as in the “I like chopping up people’s guts…Masquerade, what’s that?” psychosis) isn’t allowed.

The only limitation is in Generation and Dharma, not age. No character lower than 8th Generation is permitted and no Kuei-jin of Dharma higher than 5 allowed. Though bear in mind that this is not an excuse to make a 2,000 year old 9th Generation vampire! Keep the age in standard with the Generation and Dharma. This has less to do with potential power abuse and illogical social stratification. The leaders of the sects are and always will be background NPCs that will almost never be seen (except in plotlines a player may choose to run). When submitting your character’s name to add to the TUG roster, include only the character’s sect: Camarilla, Sabbat, Anarch/Independent, or Kuei-jin.

Below is a current character roster of those PCs involved in the PdO game. Even the most basic information regarding these characters (Clan or Dharma) 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 (using the mailing list is a good idea).

    Coteries, Packs, & Wu


    The formation of coteries, gangs, wu, and packs in the Presas de Ouro game is strictly voluntary and personal. They are well-advised, both IC and OOC. Players wishing to run plots can more effectively wind them around established (or establishing) coteries instead of random characters.
