My Houston Chronicle

So, J1NX I will be slowly adding here what im doing in my game due to what my players are doing.

Current Players:

Ben Averill: Tremere
Jacob Raider: Gangrel
Justin Raider: Nosferatu
Cassie O'dell: Toredor
Alex Evans: Ventrue/Brujah

***************************************************************************

The game setting is being placed inside Los Angeles due to it's vast size and ability to fully absorb the new players into the "masquerade".

Prince of LA: Exosus Carnifex

(female malkavian I had created while talking to you J1NX. Super Soakers and all.)

Exosus Carnifex in latin means "Hateful Executioner"

Her Derangement is the inability to appreciate anyone but Malkavians.

Main NPC's atm:

Nicholas M. Wolfwood
Mordrid Grey
Kurushimi Izumi
Elias Rincewood (Nosferatu Elder)
Marianne Fitzhuse (Tremere Elder)
John Caldwell (Malkavian Elder)
Brook Simmons (Brujah Elder; MIA)
Elijah Rodriguez (Ventrue Elder; MIA)
Victoria Cheng (Gangrel Elder; MIA)
Gabriel Vater (Toreador Elder; MIA)
Alexa Traz: Renowned mage among the different races throughout Los Angeles.

The Basic idea that I was looking at is that Exosus is currently being controlled by Alexa to assassinate certain clan leaders in LA. Why you ask? Because many of the camarilla sects in the city were encroaching on the werewolves living in the forest. The werewolves offered Alexa an amazing deal in order for her to help them remove the most threatening clans in the city; the teeth of all the vampires she helped to kill would belong to her in exchange.

The clan leaders you see with MIA (missing in action) does not technically mean that the clan is already exterminated in the city, it only means that the leader has disappeared in order to make the clan more vulnerable.

Kurushimi, Mordrid, and Nick are basically going to act as buffers for Exosus, they will handle any and all people stepping in the way of the prince. Why are these PC's in the city though? Exosus called in some favors on the malk network for people seeking good pay, and a "good time". After they showed up in the city, Kurushimi was offered access to all of the vampires in the city for any form of "beautiful" torture. Mordrid was given the right to certain "real estate" he sees as valuable along the coast. And Nick was given free reign in order to do whatever he wants inside the city, who is this DJ/Partier to deny an open city with new minds to corrupt?

Not sure about the middle yet, I can't exact lead to far into it because I have no idea what the people in the game are going to chose to do, but I have a few ideas for big conflict before the end of this chronicle.

Exosus is somehow going to break free from the control Alexa has over here, not sure how im going to write that out just yet. And then an all out war will be declared between the vampires and the werewolves/Alexa in the city. An almost hopeless cause. But an ultimatum will be given to the werewolves, the vampires will either go to war, where many werewolf lives are sure to be lost, or the vampires will stop all forces into the forest, and will help to kill Alexa, in which case the werewolves will be able to raid her stocks and take anything they want. Sides have turned? Unfortunately for Exosus, she had the majority of the elders murdered or put into torpor while she was controlled, and has no recollection of where they are, plus now Mordrid, Nick, and Kurushimi are working with Alexa because she is now the "highest bidder"; offering them positions of complete power in LA after the vampires are put down.

While the forces are rallied for the vampires willing to fight, that aren't demoralized due to the disappearance of their elder, I will send the players out to gather all information they can on the missing elders, and to try and find them.

Once again, the current point is up to the players.

But basically what im looking at is a finishing in the end where the elders of the city return under Exosus and help to do an epic showdown (imagine "Your Heroes Are Dead" playing when they return) with Alexa and the other vampires who decided they would go with her due to the higher "odds" of her winning.
