@Amanita - Pending reply on your debt
» Someone mourned your death, truly and deeply. You owe them a Debt.
"[...] a personal relationship or that Lilith was all wrapped up in the crime family that killed her family."
I don't know Amanita's history (care to share or add more details to your description?), but we can go with any of the options. Which one you like/fits better (friends or death by accident/casualties/someone made me do it)?

@Carmen - Pending reply on your debt
» You are helping someone realize their true potential through your visions. They owe you a Debt.
It has a lot of room for improvisation. Lilith has a Seductive demeanor and is looking for someone to kill (revenge, as her father wishes).

@MC - What do we do with my 3rd debt? (Someone bears responsibility for you becoming a vampire. They owe you a Debt.)

@everyone - I have these two to share:
1) Someone makes sure you get fed regularly. You owe them 2 Debts.
2) Someone relies on you for their fix. They owe you a Debt.

In reply to Lilith Voss (msg # 27):



I mentioned this as a possibility in an earlier post.

Amanita, are you good with what I posted before?

Carmen, is what I brought up fine? I figure unlike the other PCs you would actually know Jake's real background.

Samael, would you have hired Jake for the 'hit' I suggested?

In reply to Jake Montello (msg # 28):

Ah, sorry, I haven't seen this "Lilith, as Jake is involved with a lot of supernatural goings on, he might have hooked you up with some willing blood dolls. He knows a guy who knows a guy..."
Sure! What is Jake doing? Bringing willing people to Lilith or just their blood in a bottle?

Samael came to mortal world effectively because of his family's failed political scheme, though publicly (to the Fae, not everyone in NY) he was accused of a crime too. Which he totally did, but would not usually be grounds for this much of a punishment.

It might very well be that someone was sent after Samael, either because the punishment was not enough in someone's books, or perhaps to capitalize the opportunity when Samael was less protected. How is you debt tally looking? I am one a slightly winning side, so I do not mind being indebted to you, but how are you doing?

Well, I would think if you are the type of vamp who can do bottled blood you would not really need anyone other than blood bank donations.

Your corruption is based on unwilling victims, so I figure Jake has contacts with people who run a semi prostitution ring, but for vamps. Thus keeping the people involved all willing, with regular health check ups and medical screening. Basically the Vegas model of sex worker healthcare.

Samael, I am not sure on my debt tally because everything has not been totally worked with the other PCs. Dont worry about it. What works better for your backstory?

:)

In reply to Jake Montello (msg # 31):

Lets say you succeeded. I think I will have enough of trouble without adding some here. Samael owes you 1, because you helped him get rid of a Fae hitman, who chased Samael soon after he had arrived to NY.

Wow! This all is really forming up. I have at least two characters who have handle/have handled my violent confrontations, oracle to ponder visions with and a Vamp who stashed somehting with me. All I need is someone who broke a promise and I am good to go. Gotta love this games character creation!

In reply to Jake Montello (msg # 31):



Actually, this is how she stores the emergency rations in her Haven. But even those need to be replenished from time to time.
A blood bank is out of question. She does not have a contact in there (maybe Jake does?) and it would be odd to go there too often and ask for blood.
If you like your idea with having hookers as contacts more, I'm fine with that. Considering the above, my question stands: bottled blood from hookers or "flesh and blood" willing hookers?

In reply to Lilith Voss (msg # 33):

I figure these people are full on sex workers with the instructions that some of thier clients have exotic tastes and the need for privacy. But there are no such things are real vampires, right?

Of course, some vamps who end up killing these sex workers are delt with by the vamp community, although not nearly as harshly as a hunter would.

In reply to Jake Montello (msg # 34):

To keep her cravings in check Lilith already uses Tinder if there is no other option available. Using Tinder won't mean that she will always find willing victims.
I think the point of this debt is to have a supply which won't make Lilith mark corruption. That's why the only two choices i see are: bottled blood or willing victim.

In reply to Lilith Voss (msg # 35):

We can do bottled then. Jake just has a friend in the blood drive mobile.

In reply to Jake Montello (msg # 36):

Ok then. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I'll be your resident Aware. Basically Gigi is a convenience store employee who had a not so good whirlwind relationship with a vampire "illicit goods" dealer that ended with his slaying. Now she is embroiled in making good on some of his dealings, how much by her choice remains to be seen.

Hoping to work on my character sheet after work today. If you have any character questions for me feel free to ask.

In reply to Gigi Deshmukh (msg # 38):

Are you and Carmen both Aware?

Hey! New folks! Awesome!

Okay, my backstory is now up in my Description. Basically her parents were killed by gangsters and she and her siblings were burned to death in a restaurant.

Here's where I stand:
Someone mourned your death, truly and deeply. You owe them a Debt.
-Lilith has offered this one, and I'm completely on board. It's possible that Lilith was tangentially involved in/around/near the crime family that killed her family, and they had some kind of relationships.

2. Someone tried to get justice for your murder, but failed to lay your soul to rest. They owe you a Debt.
-Jake offered this one. What if Jake went after the guy who killed her, to avenge her death, but got turned aside? Maybe he was made an offer he accepted. Maybe his Demon made him. Or some other loyalty got in the way?

3. Someone has already come to rely on you and your powers. Ask them what unique need you fill. They owe you two Debts.
-No one yet. Anyone want to be dependent on a vengeful spirit?

I've lost a little track of who's claimed what for everyone else, but here's some ideas:

Samael:
You entrusted someone with a dangerous task. Ask them if they succeeded or failed. If they succeeded, you owe them a Debt. If they failed, they owe you 2 Debts.
-Is this one taken? It's possible that Sam got himself in some kind of trouble with bad guys, and Amanita agreed to help? Or he appealed to her compassion to help someone he cared about?

Jessica:
You consider someone a friend even though the friendship keeps bringing you trouble. They owe you a Debt.
-Certainly Amanita's friendship would be nothing but trouble, as she's a barely restrained engine of murder and she (presumably) has a whole crime family after her.

Does anyone else have anything interesting unclaimed?

In reply to Amanita Jezra (msg # 40):

That sounds good. Perhaps I rely on her powers for something as well?

In reply to Jake Montello (msg # 39):

Carmen is The Oracle, Gigi The Aware

In reply to Amanita Jezra (msg # 40):

Awesome! I have an idea. One of the gangsters contacted my Private Detective services for one member of your family (maybe they owed some $$ to the gang). I had to follow that member, write his/her schedule, where he/she lives, etc. I didn't know that the gangsters would kill all the family as a result. I'm deeply sorry as I'm trying really hard not to kill innocent people. What do you think?

@Gigi Welcome! Considering your background, I have this on my list:
Someone relies on you for their fix. They owe you a Debt.
Maybe Lilith helped Gigi get rid of the evidence that was pointing her to her ex or to some of the stolen goods? Any other ideas?
Also, I was looking over your debts, and I like this one: Someone thinks they’re protecting you, but it’s really more like you’re protecting them. You owe each other a Debt. A vamp can have a lot of ways to protect you (including the above suggestion), what about the other way around?

In reply to Amanita Jezra (msg # 40):

@Amanita: I am sorry the  "You entrusted someone with a dangerous task. Ask them if they succeeded or failed. If they succeeded, you owe them a Debt. If they failed, they owe you 2 Debts. " got already taken, it went to Jake Montello.

What I have left is the part below, and I was thinking it would fit Gigi very well.



Amanita, would you have something to offer to Samael, I want my character to be connected to everywhere =D !!

@Gigi: Would you be interested in the debt quoted above? It seems that it might fit your story to have made a promise to a Fae, which you ultimately ended up failing, because you did not understand the importance or oaths to Fae back then. Might not be a bad thing to owe debt to every other supernatural critter out there, because all the easier to collect knowledge for yourself as well.

In reply to Jessica Addams (msg # 41):
Great. We'll make strange bedfellows, as they say. And yes, I'm totally up for Jessica relying on Amanita's powers. Do you think she protects something precious to Jessica?

In reply to Lilith Voss (msg # 42):
Perfect! That's way better than what I was thinking. Is it possible Amanita doesn't even know Jessica had that hand in things? Could be a pretty sweet scene in-game, with the gnashing of teeth and the rending of garments and all that.

In reply to Samael Thornglade (msg # 43):
I'm all out! Revenant only gets three Debts to assign.

In reply to Amanita Jezra (msg # 44):


Jessica? What do you mean?
Which faction is The Revenant?

@Carmen, do you have anything for Lilith?

Sounds Great! Samael helps me interpret my visions and is my tattoo artist!




I am helping you reach your full (and terrible) potential!

In reply to Carmen Martinez (msg # 46):

Awesome! Do you have any proposals for now or we discuss the details during play?

In reply to Lilith Voss (msg # 45):

Woops! I meant Lilith. Sorry!

Revenant is Night, I believe.

In reply to Amanita Jezra (msg # 44):

Perhaps Amanita watches over an ex of Jessica's? Making sure that no enemies from her supernatural world can find and harm him?

Gigi I would like to have had a terrible prophecy about you, I think this debt works really well with the aware and helps bring her into the supernatural world.

In reply to Amanita Jezra (msg # 48):

Considering how the debt is formulated, I think we need to know each other. Maybe I met you at the cemetery when you came back, as I was crying over your grave? Could this be possible? It would make sense to me (since you owe me a debt for my sorrows). If I ever told you that I was involved with the gang or not, it's up to you. But if I haven't told you, then I needed a pretty good reason to cry over your grave (suggestions for lies?). I'm sure Amanita would ask why is Lilith there.
