Pulp Scripture/Moral Victory (Contemporary Supernatural/Horror) (oWoD)

[Caliban]

Since we now have an official Changeling venue, please pick a Banality rating for your character.  This should be within one point of the number or range listed for a typical creature of its type:

Average Banality Ratings:
Marauders: 0-2 (average 1)
Childling Fae: 1
Mystics (Verbena, Cult of Ecstasy, Hermetics, Dreamspeakers): 2-4 (average 3)
Fianna; Wildling Fae: 3
Children: 3-5 (average 4)
Red Talons, Uktena, Children of Gaia; Wraiths: 4
True Believers (Nephandi, Celestial Chorus, Akashic Brotherhood, Euthanatos, most Craft wizards): 4-6 (average 5)
Get of Fenris, Black Furies, Wendigo, and Garou otherwise not listed; Grump (i.e. adult) Fae; Drunks and Lunatics: 5
Malkavian, Ravnos, and Kiasyd Vampires; Silver Fangs and Shadow Lords; Demons: 6
Humans: 6-7
Modern Cynics (Sons of Ether, Hollow Ones, Virtual Adepts): 6-8 (average 7)
Glass Walkers, Bone Gnawers, Wyrm Creatures (including Black Spiral Dancers): 7
Mummies: 8
Most Vampires: 8-9
Technocrats 8-10 (average 9)

Kithain can sense someone's exact level of Banality by rolling {Perception+Kenning} difficulty 8.

Banality:
0-1: Banality 0 is the level of the most insane of marauders.

2-4: Insanity, almost child-like immaturity. True, profound belief in imaginary things to the point of hallucinatory response. Marauders typically posess between 0-2 Banality. Fae Wilders (adolescents) begin at banality 3.

5: Borderline insanity for human adults, borderline psychological maturity.  May believe in wild conspiracy theories, have imaginary friends, live in elaborate delusions or rampant paranoia.  Mortals may unknowingly see chimerical objects at this level.  This is also the average level for "Grump" (i.e. adult) Fae.

6: The mindset of a creative artist. Such an artist is poised between mundanity and the maddening call of her muse. Seeing chimerical objects is out of the question without enchantment.

7: The state of mind of the average mortal. Practical, sensical, and cautious. A person at this level of banality keeps extra food in the fridge, cleans his dwelling regularly, rarely stays up past midnight.

8: This is the frame of mind of a "Heavy Sleeper" (i.e. not a Dreamer) or a weak Autumn Person. Truly banal people resist dispair and mistrust by becoming obsessive and anal. Anyone who is not similar is a threat to them.

9: This is the mental state of an Autumn Person. Faeries find that prolonged exposure to this type of individual can actually be physically painful.

10: Humans at this state of Banality lose most of their emotions. THey are oblivious to the joys of life and gain an inscrutable affinity to tedious things. Childhood has been forgotten, love is an impossibility, and only the stupor of intoxication can offer a temporary surcease from the depths of sorrow.
A changeling who gains 10 points of Permanent Banality is in severe risk of being Undone.

Equipment: Sawed-off shotgun (including explosive, armor-piercing, dragonfire, and silver ammunition), two Colt revolvers, "modern cowboy" wardrobe (checked shirts, blue jeans, cowboy boots, fancy silver belt buckle, Stetson hat, string tie), Ford F-series pickup truck with camper shell and a lot of suspicious and illegal equipment (handcuffs, bulletproof vest, M-16, AK-47, incendiary grenades, flash-bang grenades, night-vision goggles, police scanner, body bags, hunting/gutting knives), cell phone with speed dial to the prince, local independent Gangrel, and several Garou.

History: William B. Williams was born in Virginia in 1846.  He fought in the Civil War as a Confederate cavalryman, and after the war, like many ex-rebels, headed west to become a cowboy.  He had a relatively typical existence until he was Embraced by a wandering Gangrel around 1876, and he wandered the world -- or at least North America -- for over a century after that.  Eventually he ended up in South Florida as the Sheriff to the Prince.

Scene: Garou "campfire circle" in the middle of the woods, somewhere in southeast Florida. This is a large clearing with a bonfire in the middle.  (Gauntlet rating 5)

All the approaches are watched by guardian spirits, and most of them are also watched by kinfolk as well -- humans in rough outdoor clothing, carrying firearms and hunting knives; most look like Native Americans.  (If you want your character to approach without being detected and challenged, please speak to the Storyteller.)

The campfire circle is technically on the territory of the Seminole Indian reservation, and the easiest way to get there by vehicle is a dirt road from a fenced-off construction site next to the Seminole Hard Rock Casino.

[Caliban]

The Millennium Club is a well-known and exclusive private club for movers and shakers in the city -- and it's also a front for the New Hellfire Club, which is a rather . . . decadent . . . organization; and in turn, the New Hellfire Club is a front for the Council for Defense, an organization of benevolent supernaturals.  (Note: Every supernatural that "Mr Grey" trusts is invited to become a member of the club.)

The Club has an imposing granite edifice downtown, looking like a bank or a government office. There are two bouncers in tuxedos at the door, as well as a doorman (who is also a trained bouncer) and a butler who checks every arrival against the guest list.  Anyone who is not a member or employee is taken to the waiting room off the hallway just inside the door, and must wait until a member arrives to escort them.

The top level of the club is reserved for members' private rooms, and for storage.  It's decorated like a British gentlemen's club from a century ago.
Next is the ground floor, which has the waiting room, meeting rooms, and general club rooms where the members sit around in overstuffed armchairs and harrumph about the state of the modern world with motor-cars and wireless. The ground floor also has a dining hall (almost never used) and of course the waiting room.

Below ground level looks like a Las Vegas nightclub from the 1950's, with many small tables and booths. Larger tables can be brought out to accomodate larger parties.

An astute observer would notice several unusual things about the nightclub area.

The walls of the nightclub have several balconies on them, with private booths.  These are balconies for private parties, which can be reached either from the floor of the nightclub or from the upper floors.

There are also fixtures along the walls, and several places on the floor of the club, where things can be attached, such as . . . chains or manacles.

NAME: Péricles Vasconcelos da Rocha [convention designation: Agent BR43)
CONCEPT: agent of the brazilian federal police
CONVENTION: New World Order
METHODOLOGY: Searcher
NATURE: Investigator
DEMEANOR: Crusader
BANALITY RATING: 9

Péricles is a brazilian federal police agent. He was born in the small state of Paraíba but changed to Rio de Janeiro city as soon as he passed the selection trials. Son of a very poor family, Péricles has had a somewhat defective basic aducation, however, since very tender age he has shown an special knack for observation and deduction. Few things escaped his cunning sense and accurate senses and that has put his parents in embarassing situations all too often in the past. Those abilites compensated the somewhat low amount of raw scientific info he had stored in his head and thus he managed to pass the police admittance tests.

Péricles mother died when he was pretty young. Pérciles father never really recovered from the shock making the relationship a rather troublesome one. When
Péricles moved to Rio to attend his newly acquired job, his father decided to stay put in the house he once shared with his deciesed wife. Soon after joining his new job, Péricles was given some small cases on which work, all of them he closed remarabkly well, using almost only deduction, observation and a very  thorough search through clues, crime scenes and files. His knack grew and evolved as he went through and eventually he start dealing
with ideas and concepts that were rudimentarily enlightened.

His techniques called the attention of the higher ups. And he was invited to attend a graduation course to enter a special division of investigators. An appearently ghost division, connected to the federal police and the Abin, the brazilian inteligence agency.

Soon after his training, he started to receive classified assignments from an office in the ministry of public security. Without personnel signatures and a brand forgery-proof from the Union. He wouldn't know what was that about until his first encounter with Reality Deviants during a classified investigation of child abuse. The horrors he saw opened his mind, and he was commanded by his hidden supervisor to take a second graduation course.

This time, the Union educated him properly. Speaking about reality deviants and cutting edge science. This was his first step into the Technocratic Union.
Stunned, Péricles took vacations early. He spent most of it with his girlfriend Patrícia.

During vacations, Péricles got engaged to Patrícia and he spent his salary bonus (given by his trainers) on a trip to Fernando de Noronha ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_de_Noronha ). When he got back, however, the horrors hadn't gone away from his mind. He was irrevocably tied to that world, now. And bound to defend it from that nonsense. Up on his
desk was the case that would forever change his life. A usual classified investigation assignment from the Union. A bolivian narcoterrorist called Herrero González was working with his contacts in Rio and Miami to assamble the greatest drugdealing network ever conceived. Had this been built, narcoterrorists groups all around america would see their coffers filling up with dollars, reais, pesos... And their hands filling up with power and weapons.

The plan was far too well assamble and critical pieces were moved far too fast. The higher ups smelled trouble. His investigations almost nailed González and
desmantled his network. Though the man escaped, his businesses in Brazil would take some time to regain their momentum and because of that, Pérciles was
praised.

Days later, Patrícia was shot seven times when arriving home from work. And Péricles knew what he had to do. it had become personal. Devastated by the
death of his fiancee, Péricles reported to his superiors and reopened the investigation and pursuit on González. It took seven months of painful wait, but the authorization eventually went out.

Two weeks and three days later, Péricles was entering on a plane to Miami. With an FBI assistan investigator ID, an address he would ocupy while there and the name of his supervisor. The hunt had begun.

One of the most important plot elements in Pulp Scripture / Moral Victory is the treaties between the Garou, Kindred, and Fae.  There are many elements, including player-characters, working for and against the treaties.  Here is a basic summary of the treaties:

1. Both sides agree not to attack each other. This means both organized war, and also no individual member will attack a member of the other group.

2. They agree not to kill humans except in self-defense.

3. South Florida is divided into different areas. Some are vampire territory, some are werewolf territory, some are fae territory, most is neutral.

4. Both sides agree to "work together against their common enemies" and "work together on projects of mutual benefit, and not engage in any projects which would harm the other."

5. The leaders of each side agree to meet in person at least once a year, and to communicate at least once a month, plus if there is a breach of the treaties they agree communicate with each other before resorting to violence.

Moon Puts On Its Best Show of the Year Tonight

(Jan. 29) – Tonight's full moon will be the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. It offers anyone with clear skies an opportunity to identify easy-to-see features on the moon.

This being the first full moon of 2010, it is also known as the wolf moon, a moniker dating back to Native American culture and the notion that hungry wolves howled at the full moon on cold winter nights. Each month brings another full moon name...

We held a Moot for the "wolf moon."  Everyone who attended got 1 experience point; everyone who actually participated actively for at least half of the moot got another experience point.

During the Moot, Nadja (Shadow Lord Ragabash) told the sept about the "evil circus" that was  in town, and also about a man who claimed to be literally a fallen angel escaped from Hell -- er, I mean "the Abyss."  She asked for and was given permission to form a pack for the purpose of investigating and dealing with both of these.  The following volunteered to join her pack:
     Alexander Slayer-of-Legends, Silent Strider Philodox Adren
     Spits-the-Truth, Shadow Lord Ragabash Adren
     Joshua "Honors-the-Old-Ways" Talltrees, Uktena Theurge Fostern
     Draws-the-Net, Glasswalker Galliard Fostern*
     Moon Knight, Shadow Lord Ahroun Cliath
     Sybil, Black Fury Theurge Cliath*
     Nefelimore, Black Fury Theurge Cliath*
     Will Emberstone, Uktena Ahroun Cub

* = "Subject to the limitations of their other duties"

Joshua Talltrees suggested that this would probably be a good opportunity for Will Emberstone's rite-of-passage challenge. ("Overcome servants of the wyrm including a fomor, a leech, and at least three different types of bane.")

Renown awards for the Moot:
Nadja got 0.1 Wisdom for each of the two targets she suggested to the sept: the circus and the "fallen angel."
Everyone who participated in the Four Quarters (Nadja, Joshua, Nefelimore, Alexander) got 0.2 Wisdom for summoning their tribal totem avatar.
Everyone who participated in the discussion about riddles and prophecies got 0.1 Wisdom and everyone who actually came up with an idea got another 0.1 Wisdom.
Everyone who was in some sort of official capacity at the Moot got 0.2 Honor; the only PCs who did that were Draws-the-Net and Alexander Slayer-of-Legends.
Sybil loses 0.1 Wisdom and Honor and Moon Knight loses 0.3 Wisdom and Honor for being disrespectful by talking (and in Moon Knight's case by mouthing off) during the Moot ceremony.
Everyone who told a story at the moot gets 0.1 Glory and 0.2 Wisdom.

From Changeling: The Dreaming:

• Imbolc, February 2nd — The balefire is the most important feature of a freehold, keeping out the cold wind of Banality and preserving the Glamour that maintains the freehold.  Imbolc is a festival celebrating the balefire and its replenishment after the long darkness of winter. Also known as Bard's Day, Imbolc marks great competitions among bards and other performers. Originally sacred to the Celtic goddess Brigid, patroness of fire, smithcraft and poetry, Imbolc honors the creative spirit.

   On Midwinter's Night, special travelers, called firebrands, set out from Tara-Nar, carrying lanterns that contain fire from the Well of Flame beneath High King David's palace. The lanterns are used to replenish the balefire of every freehold during the Imbolc ceremony. It is considered a bad omen if the firebrand fails to make its appearance at the freehold before Imbolc.

Imbolc, or Candlemas, is an important holiday for the fae and also for the Fianna garou.  To celebrate, the Fianna -- including fae, kinain, and kinfolk -- are putting on a big party at a camping site, and almost every non-hostile supernatural will be invited.

The campsite itself will have a huge "balefire" in the middle; the entire area will be enchanted and all normal routes in and out will be guarded by at least two watchers at all times (either kinfolk, kinain, spirits, and/or chimera).  This means all the dirt roads and hiking trails to the campsite will have guards keeping constant watch, although the rest of the woods will only have occasional patrols.  (In other words, if you want your character to enter without being detected, please talk with one of the storytellers!)

At the campsite there is a long canvas awning covering the equally-long table that holds the picnic food.  The theme is Irish/Celtic cuisine -- or Irish-American -- plus anything appropriate for a winter tailgate party: barbecued beef, chicken, and pork; corned beef and cabbage; hamburgers and hot dogs and bratwurst in beer; steamed sauerkraut; potato salad, macaroni salad, and cole slaw; and chili.  (Characters should feel free to bring whatever they wish to share.)

South Florida is the fae Duchy of Trimaris, which is a part of the Kingdom of White Sands.

[Caliban]

The Sabbat venue of Pulp Scripture is based on everything I've been able to find about the Miami Sabbat in "canonical" World of Darkness works, including the Vampire: The Eternal Struggle card game.  I have adjusted some of the characters' traits in ways that are compatible with canon, e.g. by assuming certain characters committed diablerie so we no longer have anomalies like a 10th-generation Archbishop giving orders to 9th- and even 7th-generation characters.

Quick summary: There are at least twenty-eight Sabbat in Miami including one elder, six ancillae, and twenty-one neonates, plus lots of shovelheads.  This means they outnumber the Camarilla in South Florida by more than four to one.  However, the Camarilla have a treaty with the lupines which means the fuzzies go medieval on the Sabbat at least once every full moon.

Kin / family:  N/A.  His kinfolk girlfriend left him after his rite of passage, which he blames on her seeing him humiliated during his wrestling-match with a leech.  His efforts to find another mate among the kinfolk women on the reservation have failed, which he attributes to them being "stolen" by wyrmbringers with their flashy clothes and lots of money.  The fact that he's so filled with rage, self-centered, arrogant, and condescending toward them doesn't enter into his picture.

The player-character garou have formed a new pack named "Cirque du Slay" in Moral Victory (the Pulp Scripture garou game) and they are arguing (both IC and out) about what their pack totem should be.

Meanwhile, they took down a pack of pornographers in Miami who were live webcasting a snuff film, and rescued the victim just in time.  They also found out the pornographers were associated with a pack of Sabbat vampires.

Here is a list of totems that have been suggested for the pack:

Totems of Cunning:
Coyote
Crow (Tribebook: Bone Gnawers, Revised Ed.)
Raccoon (WW Player's Guide)

Totems of Respect:
Pegasus
Sphinx (WW Player's Guide)

Totems of Wisdom:
Chimera
Fog (WW Player's Guide)
Owl
Raven
Uktena
Unicorn

Totem of War:
Black Unicorn

[Lycan Queen]

Current Name: Ariel Euthalia
Tribe: Ceilican
Pyrio: Twilight
Rank: 1 - Tekhmet
Breed: Homid
Nature: Manipulator
Demeanor: Wanderer

Notable Traits: Her hair is red now, and her eyes have always been a sort of hazel color. Her build is relatively slim. Wears a tube top and long, flowing skirts when she's not working. Crinos form has medium, thick shaggy brown fur, and her cat form looks like a large alley cat. She usually wears a few rings on her hands, most of them the cheesy fake rings you get from vending machines.

History/Background: Ariel was born as a blond Casey Briar in 1989 in a strange little town...she forgets the name now, but it was a nice place. Her parents left long ago, and the people at the orphanage weren't so bad. She was well fed and loved, playing by herself and daydreaming outside, as she hated being kept indoors. The First Change came as the sun touched the land, with her inside her own room. She left the orphanage that day, and found her mother waiting for her. For that year, her mentor taught her the ways of the Bastet, and the ways of the Ceilicans, listening to the messages of the Silent Way. Finally, she became Ariel, and wandered away from her mother and began her life.

Rumors: Wandering exotic dancer, working from club to club as she travels.
