We started our first MH Season at the MKRPG tonight; I was initially leaning towards playing the Mortal or Chosen, but then one of the other players commented on how he didn't like the Vampire's sex move, which amounts to not having sex. The conversation then went onto the idea of a geek who couldn't get laid and I suddenly saw what character I wanted to play...
So, the cast is:
Adrielle, a Witch drawing her power from her Native Amercian ancestry.
Samael, an Infernal whose parents were killed in a fire and is now brought up by a pastor.
Serena, a Selkie who has taken on the form of a drowned girl, but Samael has stolen her pelt under orders from his patron, the Burning Man.
And Samson, a Vampire who was turned in the 1950s, but then spent several decades underground (literally) and has only recently been reawoken.
Samson's schtick is his geek chic: he's smart and wants to learn everything about the modern world. All that enthusiasm to learn comes across as passion for the one he's learning from, and of course 'nerd' is the new sexy in the 21st century, so he has a number of admirers. Oh, and he's also a huge comic buff, with a deep paassion for Batman...
So, all the characters are seniors at St. Sebastian's, a high school in Clearwater Bay, Louisana, a town that is coping with some environmental pollution. We ran a few short scenes about a morning at the school: Samael planted his flick knife on one of the teachers, Adrielle and Serena discovered a dealer's stash in Samael's locker and Samson's powerpoint presentation about the history of NASA was spoiled by his rival Neil, the president of the chess club. Hopefully our MC now has some time to cook up a few threats before the next session. :-)
