[QUOTE="reapersaurus, post: 622860, member: 1194"] Don't think of Nikolai as a Bodyguard like Kevin Costner in "The Bodyguard". Think of him more as a security specialist hired for particular events. He wasn't a full-time bodyguard, he was in charge of personal safety at festivals, personal appearances and such. Once they got together, he stopped being a bodyguard. And it was only a murder, that he was acquitted of. He didn't succeed in killing himself. ;) (I appreciate the work for my character - discussion is always fun, and helps me flesh him out more in my mind) I don't see, though, how you could be missing how Caitlyn's skills (and especially attributes) don't affect others in the party. Vych could probably tell you her experiences, but how I saw it, Caitlyn's Appearance and Charisma are definately comparable with Vychtorya's. I know I'll fail in getting this across right, but let's put it this way: If Caitlyn and Vychtorya entered opposite ends of the room, I'm sure almost every head would turn, and they would be torn as to which side to look at. It's just the way it is - I know neither of you are directly in competition with each other, but there are only so many personality archetypes in Vampire games, and you are both playing ones very close to each other in how they affect the people around them. It just narrows down the playfield for each of your characters if you want to be unique from each other - how many different ways can one be Charismatic and Beautiful? LOL Usually, Vych gets on the dance floor at some stage, and tries to levy favor for herself by dancing well. She's not a dancing specialist, or making that her prime character occupation, though. With Caitlyn being a Specialist Performer, it seems kind of repetitive for Vych to indulge in that aspect of her character, so I'm guessing she's trying to go more the socialite-hob-nob route. You said: that's very interesting, because while it is repetitive, this would make you a prime candidate for the Toreador and Toreador alone. Their specialty is preserving beauty and talent. To open it up to Jemal and Shalimar, I still don't understand why a Ventrue/Brujah would be that interested in Caitlyn. I'm guessing that you guys (especially Jemal and Kitana) just clicked, or had an idea to connect your characters, but as a superficial opinion, it seems obvious to me that Caitlyn would be Toreador ALL the way. Please you guys, do whatever works in the game and is fun, I'm just responding to what you're saying for some dialogue on the weekend. Don't read this like I'm pushing for you to do or change anything. I also don't know how you're going to be Embraced (with the moritorium). If you have a storyline worked out, by all means make it work, cause I'm out of ideas about that. I know I'll regret spending the time on this post, and I hope people don't take anything I've said wrong - they're just player feedback and impressions - feel fre to ignore.... [/QUOTE]
