Home Philosophy What to play for Channel Rules Character Creation Game Info

In many channels I played in I couldn't find a reason to play other then to pretend I was a vampire.  All the cool political positions were taken, and I was left to scavenge for any meaningful SL's I could find.  I want to change all that, so now I'm going to give players a reason to play.  There will be rewards for a multitude of things.  Here is a listing of some of the potential gains a player can accumulate.

Out of Character Prizes

Extra Character Slots

When you start out you get a total of 2 character slots as you get to prove yourself a player you will be able to increase this amount.

Unique Character Slots

With the amount of people wanting to be unique and such there will be this reward for only the best and most entertaining role players.  Pilot characters are also included in this and as the channel includes different races you will be on the top of the list to try them out.  These won't come easy however, as this is rewarded by excellent play.

Referee Approval

Since the ops can't be there all the time to make sure everything in the fights go according to the book.  You can be approved to ref fights in the ops absence or maybe if the op just doesn't feel like being a ref at the time.  Bare in mind you'll have to ref like the ops ref so we can remain constant to a set of rules and ideas

Opinion Counts

After a while you'll be asked from time to time on what direction you'd like to see the channel go.  Once things start to progress this will depend more on the ideas of the players and as such you will have a direct effect on the channel

 

In Character Prizes

XP

Everybody likes experience points.  So we will be rewarding them based on a yet to be determined method.  But bare in mind we will be trying to award XP based on role play quality.

Political Power

What if you were manipulative enough to pull the strings behind the scenes? Affect the way the kindred in your city live?  You can do it here by garnering favor with the right people.  If your really good, you can be the type of character that people will be calling the "right" people. 

License to Kill

There are some positions where killing another vampire won't be punished.  The Prince being the most noted but there are plenty of other positions as well.  Assamites in general were made for killing and if they take a contract out that's cool.  The Prince will be making the call on that stuff.

Princedom

This is basically the ultimate reward for being a good role player.  This is the culmination of good ally management as well as threat assessment.  This position will not be rewarded per se, but taken as a trophy for all who are willing to deal with the risks associated.  We would prefer a person who was online a lot and able to defend their position.  If you go idle as the prince for an extended amount of days, be prepared to be dethroned when you come back.

Diablerie (Assamites mostly)

Lowering your generation will greatly enhance your character.  Maybe not so much as other channels as we will all be playing 8th - 13th generation characters.  But the rewards are still there.  Remember, diablerists are looked at with distrust and sometimes hunted down.  A Prince who lets diablerists run wild in the city will be viewed as weak.  Assamites almost always have black veins in their aura and probably won't be hunted down, unless the diablerize the wrong person.
