So, I’ve got my four players who are going to play in the game of Vampire I’ve got set up. Half of them are ready to play. The other two need to put their characters on paper. I’m pretty excited about it. I think that the storyline and setting I’ve gone with are pretty versatile, in that just about any character will find something to do in the city.
As two of the characters haven’t made their characters yet, I am not divulging the setting and date. When that’s known to all, then I’ll post more on it here.
In the preperation for game, I started flipping through my game books. In one of them, I found Severin Geringer. If anyone from my boy Justin’s game is reading this, they’re gasping or laughing out loud. See, I played thi character for two years. When we started our hiatus, about a year and a half ago or so, I couldn’t find him. In our circle of players, he was one of the very few characters to have lasted since his conception. He’s gone through ghouls like you wouldn’t believe. One lasted all of about 5 minutes, as he was in the apartment building when the van of explosives hit it. Poor Steve Schwartzman.
Severin is a classical guitarist from Vienna who was embraced in 1850. He and his ghoul, Gunter, left Vienna, a viper’s nest controlled by the Tremere, for the new world, specifically san Francisco. There he was tempted with the idea of being a Primogen, and later earned the title. Many a time in game Justin has done things to Severin that have invoked “The Chris Face.” This is a look that must be seen to be believed. It is the perfect harmony of shock, fright, horror, and “Oh Fuck.” I believe that the van of explosives brought about one of these faces.
Severin isn’t entirely a pussy, though. True, he has been punked around by many, but in the end he’s the one that is still alive (undead?).
After moving twice, I had almost given up any hope of finding him. Then I looked in the back of one of my books, and there he was. I honestly danced with glee.
Now if that game would just start back up again…
