The Kine only pay attention to their immediate lives, and they only ever care about themselves. The poor and degenerate live in the worst of housing, and are so easy to feed off of. Hell, get me to a night club! Nobody even notices there if you take a few bites, everyone is so wrapped up their social networks and virtual reality. And us? We rule the night, we rule the day, we rule everything! The mages pander to us. The wolves protect us. The changelings are our servants. The sin-eaters and hunters? Bad memories of nights long past. What could possibly go wrong?"-------This is a recruitment thread for a NWoD Vampire game. It takes place in a cyberpunk future (2038) where vampires now (still secretly) rule over humanity, in a fictional city.[sblock=About the Rules]For rules, this game will be making use of the New World of Darkness Storyteller rules and Vampire: the Requiem rules, with a  mix of the Clans and Disciplines from Vampire: the Masquerade, using the<a href="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=86202" target="_blank">Vampire Translation Guide</a>. I also make use of game hacks from Mirrors, Danse Macabre, and Armory: Reloaded, and, although I will be restricting people from making anything other than Vampires, Blood Bathers or Ghouls, I will be allowing any rules from most any edition of Vampire, and any NWoD book. I will not be using bloodlines however, and I've made changes to the clans. My next post following this one will have more notes about character creation. Although players cannot play them, you should know that I will be using rules that include Geniuses, Immortals, Superheroes, and possibly other supernaturals.[/sblock][sblock=Setting Synopsis]Located deep in the Rocky Mountains is the town of Pendros. Long ago it was known as Silvertop, a silver mining town primarily made up of Mexican and Chinese miners. It was almost lost to history when the United States no longer supported the Silver Standard, had it not been for an inventive miner named Lorenzo Pendros, who perfected a method using magnets and heat to purify the surrounding mountain's considerable Zinc deposits. This saved the mining town, and was renamed Pendros in Lorenzo's honor. In the 1940's a considerable amount of Uranium was also found near Pendros. In addition to bringing in more business to the town, Pendros's mayor, Alex Runner, opened up a University dedicated to mining, refining, and researching the material. To encourage growth, he was able to pass an initiative to allow gambling within the city. The tax revenue was invested into the school, and even though gambling was outlawed again in the 1970's , Pendros University had established a name for itself.Tonight, in the year 2038, Pendros is now known for being the place for the growth of the cybernetic industry, home to both Barkovia Industries and Thinkbest. (BI makes cheap cybernetic devices and software, and also specializes in transportation technology. Thinkbest is like the Apple of cybernetics, and is sleek, expensive, and overly hyped.) Pendros is also known for it's Casino scene, reopened in 2024, nightclubs, college, and tourism related to the outdoors. It also more well known because it lies on an huge ley line intersection, making it a number one destination for the supernatural world. It's most notable feature is that the city is located on top of miles and miles of natural caverns, the largest and most developed section of these caverns are known simply as 'Underpendros' where the people of the supernatural world can live without the masquerade.The city's dark ruler is a Vampire Queen who came into power in 2009. While her real name is unknown, she goes by Sasha Fierce, a name that elects a giggle from those who know the reference, but do not know of Sasha's power and influence. Sasha, a Zelani Carthian who overthrew the previous vampire prince, Alexander Runningwater, she lives it up in the city's nightclubs, and is actually known for allowing quite a few breaches of the old laws to go unpunished. Meanwhile, the Kindred rule the city, and even the least powerful vampire has some sort of economic control. And they have the supernatural population in their grasp, using werewolves as hunters and bodyguards, changelings as servants, mages as their grand architects, sin-eaters as pest control, the list goes on and on. And as for the Kine, they are now zombies to corporate control. They live in corporate housing, go to corporate schooling, live and die by private law. The public sector is virtually non-existent.This is the way it is, and this is the way it has been for many nights.Many say that this cannot continue. Many say that a change is coming. Many say that soon, the Kindred must pay for their abuses.But the Kindred laugh and just take another sip.[/sblock]"I remember it like it was yesterday, before our current sadness, before being thrown into the limelight, before all the madness. Back when the night was a time of eternal bliss, back when we all 'lived' in prosperity. But those were the final nights of prosperity, those were the final nights of joy, those were the final nights of our 'innocence'. Those...Those were the Nights of the Kindred,"</blockquote>
