{Vampire: The Masquerade - OOC} New York by Night

[Festy_Dog]

Ashrem, I don't mind being placed, sounds good to me

Kitana, just an idea, do you think it'd be interesting if my character lived in an apartment next to or nearby yours?

Edit: Woohoo! It worked, my char has a pic! Thx ppl!

 

[Jemal]

Ash - Place me wherever you want. I'ld think, however that my character would either be with Nathan and/or Sabrina, or out prowling.
Oh yes, and I'll be adding that Computer Intuitive merit b/c it fits in perfectly with my char. Will rearange asap.

Kitana, just an idea, do you think it'd be interesting if my character lived in an apartment next to or nearby yours?

Sure, I don't mind. I live in a building on the edge of central park, its expensive so I share an extremely TINY flat with my roommate. But I got it for the view from the rooftop and the atmosphere to write my music.

As for placing me, go for it. Depending on the time of day I will be in different locations so pick away whichever one fits your thing most or make up one that fits the idea

During the Day:

1> practicing with my rock band "Kindred Knights"
2> writing music on the roof of my tenement building
3> getting some much need sleep in prep for the night
4> giving music lessons for extra cash
5> hanging out with my roomie

During the night:

working ;p of course

1> at a jazz club
2> playing a party
3> playing at a rock club with my band
4> practicing music on the roof ;p

Just a thought

Owning a car in New York is insanely expensive and usually not worth it b/c most people take the taxi, ride on the subway or rent a car or have a limo. Most people who live in New York City (specifically the more heavily populated areas like Manhattan) rarely actually leave the city by car other than to fly somewhere by plane.

The reason its expensive is there aren't a whole lot of places to park a car in NYC. Garages run at least 40 bucks a night and trying to find a legal parking spot for your car on the street is a nightmare that boggles the mind and leaves it at high risk for being stolen.

Besides you don't use a car in New York City if you live there, usually the cars you see there are from those darned rich people or people who commute in.

I'm talking specifically about Manhattan as I've never really been anywhere outside of that part of New York City. But feel free to correct me if you know different!

EDIT: i should add that since alot of the population doesn't need to know how to drive b/c they dont have cars, they don't have driver's license either, just NY State ID cards.

blah I know I'm being a total nitpicking psychotic, but I can't stop myself.

Festy, how do you afford living in a manhattan apartment on the edge of central park by yourself with only a resource of 1? I have a tiny apartment, a roommate, and a resource of 2. Those apartments can run abuot 3 to 5 thousand a month depending on size and location. Does your sire live with you?

I have a document in zip form that I need to give out to everyone.

I need either someone to host it for me, or you can let me know what email address I should send it to.

The file size is 533kb. It is a zipped PDF file describing the city and its inhabitants a bit.

Ash - I have New York by Night, but have purposely only read about 5% of it (I read in a review that there were 4 Tremere rituals strangely contained within - what a strange tome which to put ancient rituals of power)

Should I read more, to get familiar with the City and peoples, or do you want me NOT to read it, and rely on your zip file and in-game info?

For Nikolai, I'd think he'd be in one of the 5 Chanceries of New York, it is totally up to you to choose which one he'd be affiliated with.
I'm interested in him having a little communication and dealings with the sheriff, since that's one of the ways he can practice his powers and the most likely lead for finding The Barbed Heart in NY.

The only thing I request you not read is the writeups on the NPCs.

I'm mainly using the book for ideas, so anything you read is subject to change.

If you would, go ahead and read up on the Trmere and let me know which one your character belongs to.
