Carmine LeDare, the Witch

quote:

Look:Guarded, Deep Eyes

Origin: Voodoun (Louisiana Voodoo)

Tell: The Gris-Gris bag that he keeps with him at all times

Hot =0
Cold +1
Volatile -1
Dark +1

Conditions:

Carry Forward:

Harm: ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
Experience Points:
( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) (advance)

Witch Moves:

[+]Sympathetic Tokens
You gain power from sympathetic tokens � items of personal significance that you take from others. Each sympathetic token counts as a string.

[+]Hex-Casting
You can cast Hexes. Choose two that you know. To cast them either expend a sympathetic token during a secret ritual, or meet a target�s gaze and chant at them in tongues. Then roll with dark. On a 10 up, the Hex works, and can be easily reversed. On a 7-9, it works but choose one:
-The casting does you one harm;
-the Hex has unexpected side effects;
-trigger your Darkest Self.
Hexes
[+]Binding- The person cannot physically harm others
[+]Illusions- Snakes and bugs: The hexed sees that thing everywhere. You have no control over the exact images or manifestations

[+]Sanctuary
You have a secret place for practicing witchcraft. Add 1 to all rolls you make within this space.

Sex Move:
After sex, take a sympathetic token from them. They know about it, and it�s cool

Darkest Self:
The time for subtlety and patience is over. You�re too powerful to put up with their garbage any longer. You hex anyone who slights you. All of your hexes have unexpected side effects, and are more effective than you are comfortable with. To escape your Darkest Self, you must offer peace to the one you have hurt the most.

Backstory:
You start the game with two sympathetic tokens. Decide whose and what they are.
One of the others caught you rummaging through their friend�s stuff, but kept quiet. They get a string on you.

Sympathetic Tokens:
Sophie Townsend, A button
Alex Stillman, A necklace
Amy Nguyen (NPC), a violin string

Strings:
2 on Coppelia Barnes
1 on Alex Stillman
1 on Adrianna Mercante
1 on Kelvin Soares (NPC)
1 on Clare Thompson (NPC)
1 on Ryan McCaffrey (NPC)
1 on Kelvin Soares (NPC)

Jolinaxas: Oct 24, 2012; I'm in the business of...
Absolution

Adrianna, the Wyrm

quote:

Character Name: Adrianna Mercante (A Name of Wealth)
Look: Expensive Look, Burning Eyes
Origin: In Your Blood (Two wrym-blooded parents)
Skin: The Wyrm

Hot -1, Cold +2, Volatile -1, Dark +1

Conditions:
Carry Forward:

Harm: ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
Experience Points:
( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) (advance)

Moves:

[+]Bargaining Ceremony
Drinking tea, sharing a cigarette, playing chess, or sitting back to back are all ceremonies.

When negotiating a bargain during a ceremony, both of you can offer Strings as part of that bargain.
This can include Strings you have on others, or new Strings that you generate on yourselves.
When you're both satisfied, the exchange occurs.

[+]The Bait
You have a collection of beautiful things � a library of books, old and new.
When you show it to someone, they inevitably find something they fancy.
They will mark experience when it becomes theirs and is no longer yours.

Also, choose one:
-They see something someone else would like, and when you show that someone the something,
carry one forward against them,
-The time has flown by and it's hours later than you thought.

[+]Jealous Coils
When someone else gets close to someone you covet and you act territorial, roll with dark.
On a 10 up, both: they lose a String on yourcoveted, and you gain a String on your coveted.
� On a 7-9, gain a String on your coveted, and your coveted chooses:
-Give you a Condition,
-You say something you'll regret.

Sex Move:
When you have sex with someone, they choose at least one of these:
-Give the Wyrm a String on you, and take something from their collection.
-Give the Wyrm a String on you, and take a String on them.
-Give the Wyrm a String on you, and receive any promise from them you'd like.
-Give the Wyrm a String on you, and a Condition.

Darkest Self:
You've become too heady, too lax, too vague. You need to dominate one of the people-things that you treasure,
let it know that it's yours, that it doesn't get to choose who owns it � you do.
You escape your Darkest Self when your treasured thing proves that you don't own it entirely,
or when you see the difference between objects and people.

Backstory:
Judge each other PC as either �treasure� or �merely currency.�
If they're treasure, describe the moment they caught your eye, and give them a String.
If they're merely currency, take a String on them. They describe something off-putting that you said to them.

Strings (On them / On Me):
Coppelia Barnes 0/1
Alex Stillman 1/2
Sophie Townsend 2/0
Roberta Clark 1/0
Carmine LeDare 0/1

+++NPCs+++
Strings on Desmond Winslow, Lou Dyer, Liz Perreira, Amy Nguyen, Carla Druwiski
On me: Kellie Yates, Michael Reynolds, Iris North, Jason Rollins

Advances:

Tell: Her breath turns to smoke whenever she experiences an extremely strong emotion (anger, fear, sadness, arousal)

Inspired by one of the other Monsterhearts thread I made these for people to put at the top of posts:

I tried to pick a font to go with the character but I had to do some guessing so lemme know if you want a different one or if they're too big or something.

Edit: Shrunk them down a little bit.

If you're watching it without the Rifftrax you are doing yourself a huge disservice. Its seriously the only thing that makes those movies tolerable.

Making baseballs out of vampires is a bad idea. Limits you to night games only, scheduling is a nightmare.

When the the cops pick up their Zapp Rowsdower hotline, roll +Volatile. On a 10+, take all three. On a 7-9, pick two.

This is mainly notes for myself, but I'm posting it because I figured others might be interested:

Alex's RP agenda posted:

Earn respect from the wrestling team. (For funsies, compare/contrast with Darkest Self.)

Earn recognition from the student body.

Learn why you were chosen for this power.

Take other people at face value unless you have reason not to. (Strings would be one reason.)

Find someone you can really care about.

Make your dad proud of you.

Hey, my bad on the failure. I got a little ahead of myself as soon as I saw bad numbers on the screen. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is Jenny's first string on Carmine.

I saw one on the chart, unless I'm reading it wrong. Which is very possible.

And no worries on the 6-, it's just not something I want to walk back when I want to go hard.

I think that String of Jenny's was put on Coppelia by mistake; ie Jenny should now have one String on Coppelia ("CB"), one on Sophie ("ST" ) and one on Carmine ("CL").

Just finishing up a post about Coppelia's evening routine before she jumps in the car and heads out to meet the others. Probably going to include some Gazing into the Abyss too because why not.

And yeah, it makes sense for others to be out looking at the lights, so Alex bumping into them is a good idea I think.

I found this in my 'listen to music at work' youtube crawl, and I kinda like it for the campaign. Shared it in IRC and some others seemed to agree, so.

Sorry about being so vague. Coppelia can carry one forward in her attempts to stay out of Sister Clarence's sights. (Manipulate Lou to stay on your side, Shut Down people who are suspicious, Run Away from people trying to catch you, etc.) I wanted to communicate that there is a target on your back and people who know you are going to be under pressure for it.

Also, the music thing rocks and you guys should keep suggesting tunes. Feel free to post them with scenes if you find them appropriate; I might even do the same. (I promise to stay away from Coin-Operated Boy, Clipperton.)
