| News February 20th, 2005 6:37 PM Posted by: Josh Niagara Larp is over. It has been many good years with many more good players who have come and gone. I must admit I will always miss the Golden Age, but the simple truth is that we may never see those times again. The final event was a bloody success. It worked out very well for those who survived. For those who didn't well... they had fun. The final leadership of Toronto is written up under the "Positions" on the right side of the screen. With the death of the Gangrel primogen Jared Alexander and some other staff changes this is the final leadership for the Greater Toronto Area, spanning right down into Hamilton. NEW Niagara Larp also to be known as "The City of Broken Dreams," will be taking place in the Niagara Region instead of Toronto. The game is still in the works and so there will be no good old Larping for a while. When the new game will come into affect I can not say, but it also makes me sad to think there may be no game for some time. That does not mean though that I no longer crave your bios. I will strive to complete this damn site one way or another. Including pictures in character as well as acurate bios which include at the bottom where ther character is now, and what their current status is. ~ Storyteller Josh out ~ Mr. Ash: "Oh not to worry Monsieur Fenix. We would never do you any harm what-so-ever.... Would we Albert Collins?" Albert Collins: " *Gasp* Banish such thoughts Mr. Ash!" Mr. Ash: "As I had previously stated, Albert Collins and I would never do anything to harm you. But your havens... are...well...missing." Albert Collins: "Such a shame." EVENT SUMMARY Posted by: Josh (Teach the Nosferatu's perspective) Summary of the Event The game was held at Montabello Park. We met at 7:30. The game itself began at 8:10pm ran till 10:40pm. The Gathering Location The kindred gathered under the banner of Magistrate Draco, in his Domain, which also happened to be named Elysium (little did it matter). For a gathering that was supposed to be so protected, a lot of violence and unexpected visitors showed up. There were more violations of the traditions than Toreador gossiping. Basically which either way you look at it too few people respect the Magistrate�s own Domain or they are simply just beyond the abilities of Draco to control. Neither of which reflect well on what the city it self must be like. The gathering itself was in a large warehouse near the older docks not far from the harbor front. Not a lot of mortals around, and from the outside an abandoned piece of trash. Parking was less than a block away or just about anywhere you felt like stopping. Mind you although the outside made the place look like a pile of refuse, the inside was done up very nice. Chateau Draco was quite expensive and very well done. There was everything from wooden floor to mirrored ceilings. Although I was enjoying the facility even I thought it was out of place to have the number of animals running around as there was. It was sort of disrespectful in a fashion. With either Jared our Keeper prancing around in his kitten form, or just the amount of animals brought along by my clan mate Preacher there was enough fur flying around that I know the Toreador were having a hell of a time picking it off their nice clothing, which is the exact reason I will never protest a few good creatures on the prowl. The Number of Kindred I made a count of at least 30 dominant kindred running around with less than a dozen more moving around in the background along with Draco�s men. A full house, or at least close enough. Not surprising with the kindred over population in the city. There must have been a handful requesting acknowledgment this night. Of course rumors has it that there are twice that number refusing to seek permission to be here from that Ravnos; once Sheriff; now �Magistrate� I wonder about him truly holding things for Prince Kharn, our missing leader. It would be much easier of we declared another Prince, but a Ravnos in place of Prince might find himself thwarted by outside forces sooner than I am sure desired. As long as he maintains the illusion that Kharn is still around, and supports him, there is little that many will do to stand in his way. If not for fear of Draco him self then the residual fear that Kharn really is just indisposed and wanted to watch how his fledglings would rule in his stead. Elders do have funny ways of doing things, so I hope this is not one of them. I will now bring up an issue I have heard floating around the gathering. Especially amongst the Brujah it seems. Many seem to believe Kharn will be back, as it was not uncommon for him to leave for months at a time. Others feel he is gone for good, and Draco is abusing an empty husk of a former leader just to stay in power. There are those that talk of Primogen ruling the city till this leader returns, and even more that just want to move on. Those simply stating that if Kharn does return he will just take power when he gets here. I suppose it matters not. I will record the histories no matter how they take place. The Toreador Primogen The Toreador Primogen played his standard jack assery amongst all those who listened to him. Although I will give him this, he has been proven stable for business. Domain? Who gives a damn? One perks of the night was one I stumbled upon randomly actually. In a fit of rage Gangrel David Gaul frenzied on Adrian Raymant. It was not long till everyone saw our �brave� scourge back away from battle time and time again. Until David was put down by numbers standing in his way. Oh yes, before I forget, there was no Keeper anywhere to be found in his Elysium. Draco handed out some lame punishment, and everything continued as normal. Mostly everyone ended up witnessed the fight (except for Jared of course). I really do wish people would not interfere so often. Maybe give them a chance to beat the hell out of each other, then have the Keeper deal with punishments and get involved. I mean that is his job isn�t it? So far a pretty title, no more. Perhaps I am giving this Keeper too hard of a time. Looking up to more noble officers from the past like Lorenzo Santiago or Dr. James Samuel. In case anyone had not yet heard, there was a car explosion while Jared�s truck blew up into little bits. A clear attack on him, but what made the explosion worse was the massive amount explosives and ammo he himself kept in the back. Luckily he was parked by nothing important. Fire Fighters managed to clean up the rubble, while the Magistrate�s men got rid of the evidence of any ties to Jared himself. Played it off as some fluke to be lost in the archives of the mortal bureaucracy. Just so EVERYONE knows. Shanti Oh, and I can�t forget our new Malkavian primogen. She spent most of her time moping around as if someone would pay attention to her just so she could cry more about her lost Mansion. An estate, which was burned to the ground by her fellow visitor Clan Mates. I cannot say I look forward to her future plans. Missing Kindred Hoshiko Through several kindred I heard rumor of the confirmed attendance of several kin, which brings up a small question. Where the hell was that Toreador skank Hoshiko? I know she had business to attend to this evening that she would not want to miss this. Arlene O�Malley Now I come to those visibly missing from the gathering. Miss Arlene O�Malley who was witnessed to be hanging out with Jared quite often has gone missing. Not exactly surprising with her unstable personality. With the way Mackenzie used to play with her it is a wonder she is still alive. Eric Gallows Last we heard of the Gangrel Eric Gallows, he was seen fleeing from some Lupines according to the hunting pack who was with him. As far as I am concerned he is a write off, but so far there is nothing confirmed. So I will not write him off forever. After all look who else has come back from the dead. Adrian Ostrosky Oh have I mentioned Adrian Ostrosky still has not been heard of since his attack during the Primogen council and being stripped of all his status. His clan and council removing him from his standing so Shanti could fill his place. The Magistrate promised to take care of him, but regardless the kindred has not been seen in months now. He still may be avoiding the gathering or perhaps that scab picking fool is long dead. Persephony Persephony. Sure she was dead. Everyone saw her killed. She showed up a few months ago ever so briefly, and we have not heard from her since. Perhaps it was complete bull, but perhaps not. Need I remind you of the whole Orville Godhew incident? Jordan Toan Another example is Mister Jordan Toan. Claimed to have been killed in a Tremere magic thing gone awry. He was walking around the gathering in seemingly perfect health, despite of a ritual that cost him a limb and a lot of blood. Hmm� a thought. I wonder if he knows I have his arm? New Kindred Wolfram Roderick Phyre A new face in the city of Toronto was the Old Brujah. He seemed a bit different. Spending most of the night talking people into violence or doling out gifts. I noticed in him a hint of some VERY old Brujah views of the world. Makes me wonder on how ancient he really is. Or at least who his teachers are, because he talks about Carthage like it was Bloody Sunday. Lex There was the Brujah chick Lex, and from what I heard the 3 tighly clad Brujah girls were hers. Childer from outside Camarilla territory trying to find a place in the city is my best guess. With Draco�s �strict� hold over acknowledgement maybe they will go to the corner store and back with a paper. That seems his standard exchange for acknowledgement these days. Rumor has it that she may have even more childer around. We shall see. Maggie Lawson There was this new Ventrue who seemed to hang mostly by her Primogen. I am not certain if she is a visitor or a new resident. Her name is Maggie. Beyond that she played very little importance, aside from one interesting bit. She seems to have some sort of history with our Scourge. He tried to throttle her. She just smiled which is a good sign of some sort of past victory over him that could prove useful. If nothing more than trading that information to someone who would like to humiliate him. There were a few more kindred like �Fenix,� and a handful of others I never spoke to. They took more to themselves than anyone else, but rumor has it that they can be bought. Good to know. The Tremere As secretive as always, they came to the gathering speaking little to those out of their clan. Especially that girl Serenity who moves in what I feel is a mock shyness. Their Primogen Cadaiver could be heard preaching his political views of Toronto. (Who is often right, if it was not for the automatic distrust for his clan I wonder how far he could have already moved in the city rankings.) Part way through the evening a Ghoul approached the Magistrate Draco, his name was Marquis I believe. He spoke only to Draco, and then he as well as all of clan Tremere departed with some Clan Lord to speak to deal with some clan business. What they spoke of I will not say here, but it was obvious enough Jordan Toan was not pleased. He returned in a state I can only describe as, �Pale as Death,� if that term can any longer apply to any of us. Regardless Mr. St. Cloud seemed rather pleased. Neither the Ghoul nor the Tremere Lord named Islington returned. Distrust for the Tremere On a side note I would like to mention this. Everyone has made it quite clear that do not want the Tremere in power for fear of what they may do. Yet many of these same people promote Kharn�s rule. It is as if they have all just forgotten Kharn was one of the most powerful Tremere amongst them. That these Tremere served him, and that this was a Tremere dominant city for a great length of time. When I bring this up though people shrug it off as if it was nonsense. Clearly, DeAMoN KhaRN was no Tremere, he was DeAMoN KhaRN. Slipper the Harpy The one welcomed amongst our ranks that looks just a bit too mortal for my tastes. Well actually that is exactly my taste, but he has the protection of our society it seems so he is given all due respect. Anyway he came to the gathering now missing one arm and one leg in what would appear a very grievous accident. Well if he does come back with them I guess that will answer the mortal question once and for all. Visitors There was a brief visit by a few of Toronto�s past residence. For a brief moment Ray the Setite stopped by with Charlie. Such was the Setite business way as we only spoke briefly. A point I could not help notice was how they both ignored the magistrate. The pair spoke to a select few people and left just as quickly. It is time I got into the Highlight of the evening, From what I could gather Seneschal Sebastian St. Cloud & the Harpy Slipper determined the our good old Auddie was Demon herder Audra Daina. I have my doubts still, but I understand their caution. I mean if the Daina & these demons could interfere with Kharn�s rule then sending the current group into havoc would be a joke. Anyway the two got support from the others like Draco and his lackeys. They brought down Daina after a bit of a coo. Or at least they thought so. They brought something down anyway. Draco managed to get some of the blood from the thing in his system and he freaked out. Someone, whom I will not name, actually shot the knees out from our good Magistrate, but not before he staked the reborn Jordan Toan. Things settled down after that pretty much. Draco promised a whole bunch of stupid rewards to those involved, and things carried along like normal. Oh aside from the Strange figure in a cloak who entered the gathering. He took two syringes of blood from Audra and left. People were calling him �The Hunter.� I mean what the fuck kind of security do these gatherings have when mysterious figures come and go as they please. I can only assume this cloaked individual had some inside help, but if this �Hunter� can get in, then who else could? We might as well lead a small band of Lupines in for kicks. You know, just to weed out the weak fools. Natural Selection and all. I did manage to catch a few choice words between Gaul and Joey. Well, sort of. David Gaul was pretty pissed, and Joey just sort of took it. On one side, Joey was the only one willing to defend Auddie before the attack. Perhaps it pertained to that. Or perhaps just to Mr. Gaul�s �Other� business. Audra Daina This whole affair with Auddie has reminded me of some of the losses this city has taken. I am reminded specifically of the Deaths of Talon & Red & Archon Ulixes Iovi. Some very powerful people. I am reminded eve more so by the disappearances of those like Will Mackenzie, Orville Godhew and even more. The Warlord of the Camarilla has not been heard of much since that time. The Brigadier has gone underground, or so it is rumored. Talk of Lorenzo Santiago�s disappearance has even more people wondering. If this Daina was responsible for all this, then what more could he do to turn Toronto into turmoil. * NOTICE * If thered is information you feel is missing from the website please give me the information to put on it. I will gladly get it up. I think I have this whole JAVA thing worked out. |
