GM- Joel
Current characters in red
PCs
Unknown- Played by Natasha - Prey, has a pet Raven, quit after 1st session due to Natasha getting severe glandular fever for 3 months.
Unknown- Cogs - Boneyard guy, I can't even remember anything else about the char, only that he had boneyard and ended up using it all the time which basically meant cog's character just sat there concentrating and didn't do anything in the sessions. He quit soon after.
Richard- Pete's character - A Torn Gatekeeper soldier, died in Afghanistan, Geist is a little girl who died in crossfire in that same war who is inexplicably white and called Emma because Pete didn't think it through. He likes to shoot things and has Pyre-Flame and I think Stigmata keys? Some sort of shroud or caul. Quit.
Mary/Mara/Mairi, let's just call her Mary - Zoe's character - An ex-fundamentalist Christian who killed herself by jumping off a cliff and drowning. She is in her mid-20s and was married with a child but has abandoned them after she died, and is now unemployed. Rather mousy-looking and plain, long brown hair, mirror necklace. She is an alcoholic and still believes in God but has left the cult she used to be in and is suffering somewhat of a crisis of faith, while she explores the many things that were forbidden by her religion. Rather loud for one of the Silent, a Celebrant (possibly turning to Advocate), with Silent and Tear-Stained Shroud and Caul. Her Geist is a drowned sailor who demands her to drink and sacrifice things to the sea, including lives. Mary prioritizes Mental skills and stealth, but due to low social skills people think she's a weirdo, especially when she starts talking about Jesus.
Kay - Rachel's character - a delinquent 17yo girl. After living a life of middle-class grade-A boredom, Kay was mugged and killed by a desperate heroin addict. Her Geist is a thin man full of needles who is always hungry for substances, and encourages hedonism. A Torn Celebrant, Kay is now the star of the party scene and can get into all the best clubs in town. She is always up for risky adventures, wanting to live her second chance at life to the fullest. Kay is quite attractive and has high social skills but is rather squeamish for an SE, and utilizes the Passion and Cold Wind Oracle and Marionette. She works at a Sin-Eater bar as a barmaid.
James, James's character - A twentysomething ex-conman who cheated at cards to win big at Vegas, and seduced rich ladies and took all their money. A Forgotten Celebrant who died when, after narrowly escaping the fire that consumed the casino he was in, he slipped on the stairs of the fire exit, cracked his head open and died. He uses the Pyre-Flame and Phantasm Marionette, and his Social skills to flirt and con his way through life where money won't ease the way. Quit.
Dr Victor Deacon - David - An extremely intelligent but rather arrogant physicist at the University of Sussex who died in an explosion. This Torn Necromancer uses the Stigmata and Industrial keys and Marionette and Oracle manifestations to manipulate ghosts and learn as much about life after death, deathly powers and the underworld as possible. He'll exploit anyone to get it, kicks homeless people and is generally a huge dick. Apparently he also knows Kung Fu??? His geist id apparently some sort of Jester.
NPCs
The Pantheon- The largest krewe in Brighton, they have amassed much power and many enemies. Led by the enigmatic Theo and his bodyguard Mr Grey. Peter's character was known to flirt with the twin elderly receptionists. A horrific mass murder recently took place at their HQ.
Matt- a stoner who owns a junk/magical artifact shop and helps out the PCs a lot. Kay flirts with him. He was recently murdered but the PCs brought him back from the Underworld and he has left town. It is hinted that he has had run-ins with vampires.
The Barman- A mysterious man with no name, he is Kay's boss and gives the characters information and gossip, though he doesn't always know very much.
Big Russian Guy- An ex-Russian Black Ops soldier and one of the Silent, he used Lemure's Lure to summon ghosts to a hotel on the seafront. He left when interrupted by Kay- he's a Mourner and just wanted get his emo on.
Mysterious Scraggly-haired Revenge Guy - When drunk in the bar, he asked Kay's advice about what to do to get revenge on your enemies. The next day 4 members of the Pantheon were murdered and their leaders had fled to the Underworld. Mary observed him using the Silent Caul.
Jacques - Jacques is an eccentric French Sin-Eater who hangs out with vampires and knows a little about them.
The Ghost of the Haunt - She committed suicide after becoming bankrupt. She wanted nobody to move into her old house. The PCs acquired her house at a steep discount rate due to haunting, promised to leave it empty, and moved her on. The house then became their haunt.
The 4 murdered Pantheon members. Not much is known about them as their bodies were horribly mutilated by what appears to be a bear.
Mary Williams- the ghost of Wild Park, she was murdered, possibly by a vampire, and wants revenge. The police do not have her body and have her on file as missing.
Stabby the Unnamed Vampire - The vampire who killed Mary Williams with a knife- he seems to have no fangs. He is a "loner runt", and he possesses the Dominate discipline which he used on Dr Deacon.
Hobo Pete - A drunk hobo who saw Stabby and gave the PCs info on him. He sees vampires as "foreigners".
Ashley Smith - another victim of the vampire.

Jan. 11th, 2012 08:59 pmPlayers present - Joel, Zoe, rachel, David (Observing)
We had to decide whether to attempt to follow up on the deaths of the 4 pantheon members or to find the ghosts listed in the Argus obituary section in Twilight Network code. We decided to do the latter because Rachel need more plasm if we were gonna go a few rounds with the killers.
We followed up on the ghost in Wild Park, and after going up the "Murder Path" near the woods, we rolled to detect and found suspicious marks suggesting that someone had dragged something large and heavy into the woods. We followed the marks and found a ghost but she kept running away from us and wasn't saying anything coherent. Mary stealthed up to her, succeeded, and tried to et her to talk but it still wasn't working so Kay established an emotional link with her and got her story.
Mary was stabbed to death within the last month or 2 by a pale man in black who was preternaturally fast and didn't seem human. She wants revenge on him and will not settle for anything less than his death.
We asked around in the bar about vampires and the Barman said not to mess with them. We discussed various (silly) solutions to our problem and eventually the barman put us in touch with Jacques who knew some and agreed to ask around about the one we saw. Mary used Distant Vision to check up on Russian Guy (who was in another town) and Scraggly-haired Revenge Guy, who was, as always, in pitch black. We had to roll intelligence to find out where that could be and failed.
