Hidden Embers OOC

[Paladin Dave]

Alright everyone, we've come to a point in the thread where we are without much real direction. Cyberwing and I could certainly keep it going on our own, but that would leave Katalia, Terstan, and anyone else who joins up out of the loop. So, if someone wants to join in, now is the time!

Currently, in the setting Dramaking started us off in, we have these main organizations:

The Russian covert/diplomatic operatives(possibly military too)

The Brotherhood of Vampires

Various Mexican police, citizens, and gangs

American outlaws and special ops(and missionaries, thanks to Cyberwing.)wan

The Catholic Church's militant wing

The British SAS


As Dramaking stated in the opening, Russia and Britain are allied against America in a sort of cold war, and are trying to persuade Mexico against them. The Brotherhood of Vampires are breaking long-kept boundaries and trying to claim Mexico as their own nation, and America wants neither one to happen. The Catholic Church could care less about America, but mostly wants to ensur that the Brotherhood does not succeed.

Up at this point, a group of vigilantes led by Catholic Templar Father Van Adruian and a repentent Vampire(Stregoni Benefici) named Nicodemus Gianni, against a small cabal of Satanic Vampires that held sway over a village/town in Mexico, near the Texan border. The Satanic cell was decimated, but the non-Catholic characters all have personal demons to deal with.


To the current players: Lets start with listing the current trials and goals of your characters, and without spoiling anything, how they planned to deal with them. We need to try and integrate it all into one storyline instead of a bunch of splintered plots, and this is our first step.

 

[cyberwing]

I'll get that up as soon as I can but might be later tonight or even tomorrow. Sorry everyone.

Okay, tell me, if I am giving away spoiler Dave

Okay there's this vampire guy who is going to be my next character, but you said, Dave, we had to work on him a little. His name is Tyler.

Before giving out my plot, here is some history of what happened before:

Oscar has two siblings. One slightly older brother and a younger sister. His younger sister always followed him around everywhere. One time Oscar got really upset and hit her so hard she had to go to the hospital. He was very sorry for what he did, he hadn;t meant on doing it, either. After that though, his older brother became very protective of his younger sister and wouldn't allow Oscar near his sister, so therefore he couldn't apologize to her. Once down near a river with lots of rocks, Oscar and Tyler were there. Tyler said some not so nice words and then Oscar went into a mad rage. He thought he killed his brother, but didn't.

Tyler is Oscar's older brother. (As you know) After regaining consciousness after Oscar wounded him and thought he'd killed him and fled, Tyler went off into the woods angrily. He was going after Oscar. However, he suddenly was attacked by a creature that was supposed to only be a corny legend; a vampire. He was killed and turned into a vampire. After he became a vampire, he killed the vampire that had attacked him. His sister had come looking for her brothers... Tyler bit her and sucked a lot of blood from her. She had fainted and he left her there, then went off in search of Oscar. Ever since then he has hunted Oscar trying to find him to get his revenge. Tyler is really evil now, lol. And he has followed Oscar into mexico and at the moment probably has tracked Oscar's locataion down and is ready to pounce.

Okay, suggestions needed, you, Dave said he needed to be with some organization like Amada, or in the same one.
I was also thinking maybe EVENTUALLY bringing their sister in for a short time. Of course she won't be week Probably have like a machine pistol with ehr or soemthing like that Or...some of Veronica's cookies from the archie comics! *gags*
Warning, Could be spoilers!: Tyler, if he ever captures Oscar, being so evil and all is probably going to try to sacrafice him. Of course, he won't succed.

 

[Paladin Dave]

Sounds good. We could tie him in with that, but Tyler could also have joined the main Brotherhood of Vampires. If they learned of his (Oscar's) fight with that Vampire AND his qualm with Tyler, Oscar could have assassins on him.

I'd mention that the American law enforcement could be after him, but really I think the only way that could be used is if the Mexicans(primarily Amada's compadres) tried to threaten turning Oscar over.

 

[cyberwing]

Shall we hold off writing for a while?


Kat

Plot directions (PLEASE EVERYONE UNDERSTAND THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE, DELETION, whatever… this is just for plot development ideas so tear ‘em up if you want...):

1) She has been thrust into something she does not fully understand the scope of.

2) Kat is finding herself attracted to Nicodemus and this will cause all manner of trouble! The Catholic Sect he is a member of will be most unhappy about this IF he finds himself drawn to her. Maybe put a contract out on her?

3) *Greg un-known to anyone, has become an agent for a black ops project known only by the code. BIU (Brotherhood Infiltration Unit). This unit is to infiltrate the Brotherhood and gain intelligence on their moves for the American Government.
They recruited him upon his return to the US from Mexico.

4) Kat is going to have to fight spiritual battles from sources she did not expect. From those she thought were on the same side.

5) Kat fully intends on heading home back to her quiet life breeding horses. However will find she has a warrant for her arrest in Mexico and she can’t get OUT of the country!

 

[Quantum X]

Ah...cyberwing mentioned a plot idea for Tyler, which I like best. Greg joins the Black Ops, and Tyler is recruited as well.

 

[Paladin Dave]

Sounds interesting! I really did want to include the Brotherhood more, so this will make things work a bit better.

The Church, with word from FVA and Nico, will be upping activity in Vampire-Slaying, so we may be able to work this up to an increase in violence between Vamps and Church, and add in international espionage on the side with Russia, Britain, and America's Black Ops.

 

[cyberwing]

So right now the Brotherhood does not know about some of these other organizations? Could these organizations be trying to recruit the entire Brotherhood? Or should they be trying for select members?

Will you let us know when we can post in the thread?

 

[Paladin Dave]

Black ops would be Greg and Tyler. Russia and Britain will very likely try to influence the Vampires to make a deal with them. They want a foothold near American territory, and might be willing to help the Vampires if it means defeating America.

 

[Shadowseldil]

Well, you have me curious. Any chance I could get more info?

 

[Paladin Dave]

The best I can suggest for right now is reading the first post/page or two of the main thread. If you have more questions, I'll be happy to provide the info afterwards. I'm running it in Drama's stead, though, so I'm not sure how well I'll be able to do without going for more info myself.

 

[Katalia]

I kinda have an idea for Kathryn's brother, Devlyn. cyberwing and I thought that maybe Devlyn could join the brotherhood. That way he could get revenge on a man named Raphael (that I will put in the story later.)
that murdered his parents and kidnapped Kathryn. We also discussed a while back that Raph is cyberwing's character's henchman (I don't remember his name) and wants to kill Kathryn and Devlyn. Kathryn got away before he could kill her after the kidnapping.
Is that good?

 

[Paladin Dave]

Yep, that oughta work. Any final words, guys? We'll wait on Shadows to get up to speed, if nothing else, before we get going.

 

[cyberwing]

I just need to clarify with Katalia on Raphael's allegiance. Katalia do you want him to work for Xanco or do you want Raphael to be the crime boss for the Northern Tier of the US. These are powerful men who move and shake things from behind the scenes a lot of time and do the dirty work for the elites.

 

[Quantum X]

Oh yeah...me and Kat also talked about Oscar running into Devlyn on the street. Oh and was thinking, possibly Kathryn and Oscar getting together eventually. What do you think, Kat?

 

[Katalia]

Ok, so here's the deal. Raph is now going to be the boss of the Northern Tier of the US. I thought that would fit best. Devlyn is kinda just making his way into town and exploring when he finds the brotherhood and joins them so he could get revenge on Raph and find Kathryn. Remember that she made a deal with Carlitos too, so Kathryn might hang around with him until he's all better and they were going to find Devlyn on their own. Oscar can come too after he finds out about it. How's that for everyone? If you need something else or need anything else, let me know.

 

[Paladin Dave]

Oscar's almost thirty and Kathryn's a teenager. Not gonna work so well.

Everything else clears.

 

[Quantum X]

THIRTY? He's not THAT OLD he's 23. and it was only a suggestion

Anyway Katalia... We were talking about having Oscar bump into Devlyn a long time ago..so...???

 

[Shadowseldil]

Well, I'm still not sure I'm going to join, but even if I do, it's my policy to completely read any thread I join. So you might as well go ahead and play through while I putt around on the practice course.

Or whatever.

 

[Katalia]

Actually, Shadow, I have a little offer for you if you wanna do it. I need a few people to work for Raph in the Northern Tier. You up for the job?

As for Oscar, I was thinking while Kathryn hangs out with Carlitos for a bit, you can run into Devlyn after he joins the brotherhood if I could get him to meet up with Amada first. Is that good?
