[QUOTE="ArghMark, post: 4869425, member: 83266"] I'm setting up some ideas for a Changeling game; if anyone wants to add or anything please let me know, I'm very much in brainstorming mode at the moment. Notes - Brisbane is a warm city on the coast of Australia, north of Sydney. It is for the most part a fairly quiet place where families move to. Under the surface things are different. Brisbane is quiet because the police and the underworld gangs go hand in hand. Blatant corruption is rare, and violent crime is rare, and the police and gangs like it that way. Any problems with the status quo simply get buried in the outback. Supernaturally, due to its rather hot nature and for the most part more light hours and less dark hours, Vampires are a rare commodity. They exist more in cities 'down south', being Sydney and Melbourne, but even there are by no means the prevalent and dominant orders they are in the United States. Despite its population, Brisbane only has between fifteen to thirty vampires operating at any time. Wolves are not native to Australia. The Forsaken even less so. Shapechangers tend to blend with their surroundings, becoming native creatures such as the dingo, though introduced species such as the cat or more rarely the fox are still around. Mages exist in Australia in the same number that they exist elsewhere, though they may be forced to order magical implements over the internet. There are many places of magical power in Australia, some of incredible intensity. Ghosts are strangely potent in Australia. Convict horror, settlers burying enemies, a harsh and unforgiving land. Due to many things, the Changeling population is the most dominant. It has over a hundred Changelings, and there are organisations dedicated to finding the Lost. Melancholy hills; Mount Buggery, Mount Treachery, Mount Despair. The landscape of Australia is one in which a great deal of poetry is written. As convict Changelings came to Australia, they found the Hedge had come with them. Called the Bush, or 'out bush', or 'bushwalking' by Australian changelings (Hedges don't happen here, unless we make them), there are many pathways in and out. It isn't difficult to get lost or turned around in the hills, and many people have simply.. gone. The colonial changelings were at first as confused as their friends and allies. Trees where the bark falls off instead of the leaves. Animals part otter, part duck. But they soon realised the Hedge was the same. The Hobgoblins may have a little more variety, but the inherent nature of the Gentry remained the same. In truth, it was like the Gentry they knew had come with them; imported to the country like the rabbit. And like the rabbit, they were a scourge. The Changelings of Brisbane (The River Haven freehold) and their bretheren down south felt guilt for what they had done; brought the horrors of 'home' to this new place. They weren't entirely correct - horrors also awaited them. But they had brought them. More to follow. [/QUOTE]
