So I like the general direction of your app.

But I am worried about the quality of it as a reflection on your role playing ability. Have you read the IC? Generally every IC post is expected to conform to the quality of posts there. I say this because RPing is an investment in time so I don't want you to invest yours then end up not liking it. So right now I'd ask that you revise it a little and maybe expand on it a bit more since it seems to be very minimalist. Minimalism is fine if its concise (several apps here are pretty concise), just right now its too minimalistic where its very bare bones to the point were I can't accept it as is.

Any questions feel free to ask, TG me, or hop on the discord and message the group chat or me directly.

Cheers :D

Imperial saw this already so I'll be putting it up

Name: Sage Astorias
Age: 500+ years, looks like in his late 80's
Species, Clan, Class: Human Mage, Obrimos, Archmaster
Appearance: Astorias is at first glance an elderly man around his late 80's. His height's been reduced to half a healthy man's by age, his big nose is dotted by a few warts. He's remarkably not bald as his long hair is always tied to a shape of a spindle to keep it away from mess and his very long beard is almost as long as his body. He's mostly seen wearing green and red robes, with red tippets draping from his shoulders down. He always brings with him a large weaving pole that fuctions as his walking stick and staff.
Personality: A lot of people who have met the Sage would say that he is rather a happy-go-lucky person and has a streak of obnoxiousness. During his youth, he was rather a lecherous man and this trait still persist till today. He's more fond of women than of men, but has a distaste of the generic perversion that people thought he would have. Sure, he was a flirt but he cannot do such things. Of course he wouldn't have his title of Sage without sagely wisdom and advises, one that he is famous for in the world of mages.
Biography: A rather hidden fact from those who knew the archmage is he was a historical figure: Saint Ignatius. The machinations of his awakening wasn't very clear. Most theorized that his extreme faith led him to the Supernal Realm of Aether, where the angels led him to the tempest heart for him to eat and be awakened as a mage.

It was a touchy subject for him, and most knew well to not speak of it to him for his sensitivity on the subject. On the matter of his awakening and his piety, he saw this as a gift from the Most High and set forth to use this new gift as a way to spread His word. As magic wove with his words and his piety with his determination, he was able to reach out to the hearts of men and women, and has gained to suspiscion of the Inquisition because of the unusual happenings during his preaches at the time when he hasn't got any degree for it. The Inquisition found that Ignatius was an awakened, yet his true convictions proved him to be a valuable asset.

His ability for speech and affinity for what the Inquisition saw as the magic of the divine led them to secretly take Ignatios into their ranks. With this he became a missionary and founded the Jesuit Order, spreading Catholicism and purged demons and supernaturals in which ways he went.

But his status as a mage made him a topic of suspiscion everywhere he went. The Inquisition doesn't trust him that much. A lot of them still sees what he does as an act of heresy despite all his piety and miraculous efforts. And thus he deviced a plan. Faking his death by using a grand illusion of sickness, it was a foolproof plan as he too was growing old. Years went by and he was now forgotten by the Church, only known as a holy dead man.

Astorias was considered a Pure Sovereign, a mage who achieved pseudo-immortality through sheer mental and physical honing through magic. Through days and nights he went into a state of meditation, in a secluded cave where he fasted, prayed and communed with the Angels of the Aether.

He spent the next centuries with mages of every ilk, learning and learning and learning with every step. He was considered an Archmaster of the Arcana of Prime yet these days he only spends his time alone in his modest home in Los Angeles as a resident tailor, and a go to mage for the other supernaturals to hire. He mostly offers services such as enchanted weaponry and charms or even trade old tomes of magic for things of the same value. His name Astorias comes from a region of Spain where he spent most of his mage life in study with the Order of Mysterium.

Recent events had him lend his residency as a safe haven for those who needed shelter from the crossfire of supernaturals. During the Bloody New Years, he accepted the surge of the Camarilla vampires who needed to hide from the massacre, as well as the injured supernaturals that came with it. Of course, despite his newfound mercy for the denizens of the shadow world, everything has a price. Mostly, he asks for old tomes of magic, knowledge of the arcane, or sightings of Hallows.
NPCs: None as of the moment.

Name: Rob (No Surname)
Age: 91 Appears 39

Species, Clan, Class: Kindred, True Brujah, Gen 7

Appearance:
Image

At 5'9" 153 pounds with brown hair and eyes Rob looks like just about any middle aged white man the world over and that's part of what makes this particular kindred so dangerous. Being so easy to overlook makes this freelance covert operative's job just that much easier. The only thing that really sets this vampire apart from most people is his cold and calculated demeanor, so calculated in fact that it seems as if even his most subtle movements are planned several seconds ahead of time.

Personality: As a kindred embraced into the Bloodline of True Brujah he suffers from the opposite curse of his 'usurper' cousins. While the modern Brujah clan is all fire and passion those who call themselves the true sons of Ilyes are detached and cold. Those rare moments when Rob feels any emotions at all are muted and fleeting but are secretly treasured by the vampire. He seeks whatever emotions he can from both himself and others which often ends up manifesting in a sort of wry and mocking form of dark humor when addressing others and in extreme cases has lead Rob to taking actions considered extreme even for the damned. His lack of emotion does provide a few advantages in his line of work - the ability to perform even the most heinous or extreme deeds without even a twinge of remorse or regret is invaluable for someone like him.

Biography: In Eastern Europe Rob is known as an anarchist, a mass murderer, and a diablerist, but that narrative is only partially true. Rob was born in 1926 as Robert Weber and was the youngest son of a very large second generation "Dutch" American Family living in the American midwest in the halcyon days of the roaring twenties. He had eight other siblings on the homestead where his family raised wheat and corn as sharecroppers. His first foggy memories are of the dust bowl and the Great Depression where Rob and the rest of his family endured the loss of their farm and their home followed in the next few years by their mother and would be youngest sister due to congenital complications. Even after the depression Rob endured the loss of his two older brothers at Pearl Harbor and the Philippines after the Japanese attacked the United States and dragged them into World War II.

Rob was only 16 years old when he left high school to join the US Army, lying about his age and registering as Robert Weaver - taking one further step than the rest of his family to disavow his German Ancestry. Being young, rugged, and used to hardship and sacrifice helped make Rob a model soldier and he found his way into a Ranger Paratrooper unit that was deployed in Operation Husky. His service record in Sicily caught the attention of certain members of the civilian government, notably the chief of the newly formed OSS and Rob Weaver was recruited into the ranks of America's first intelligence gathering service. In the OSS Rob was given a crash course in espionage, demolition, and tradecraft before being sent back to Europe behind enemy lines. No official records of what Rob was directly involved in exist but hearsay puts him with a group in the City of Berlin shortly before the Soviet Union captured it from the Nazis.

After the OSS Rob was folded into the ranks of the CIA where his skills in espionage were refined. He was taught to speak Russian and Czech almost as fluently as a native and the intricacies of the regions culture and assigned to a new long term mission as a spy embedded in the Soviet Union's Politburo He fed information to the United States through a network of contacts until 1965 when his trickle of information suddenly came to a complete stop; he was assumed dead, they were technically right. Rob had been embraced by an elder vampire named Gerard Benedict who had been embedded in the upper crust of Russia since the time of the Czars who was disguised as Marat Glazkov a member of the Politboro.

For ten years Rob learned what it was to be kindred and his conditioning from a lifetime of following orders was reinforced using a combination of psychology and disciplines. Already a great soldier Rob became a nearly perfect soldier, never questioning the elders, never feeling remorse or pity for the things he was sent to do. By being trained in the disciplines of his clan as well as the Gangrel disciplines of Fortitude and Protean he was turned into his own weapon with no need for tools like firearms or blades - aside from the rare Assimite Rob became known as the greatest Camarilla Assassin in the Soviet Union and was often lent out by his sire in return for favors and power within the world of darkness but his loyalty ultimately lay with Gerard and his bloodline. In the early 2000's Gerard finally decided it was time for him to take control of the city of St. Petersburg

Short version: Rob is betrayed by his sire who calls a bloodhunt for murdering a prince and after a couple of years Rob comes back to kill Gerard and diablerize him. His weakness is technology; he is learning (he can operate a smartphone and do a Google Search, use a GPS, etc.) but anything more advanced than e-mail is beyond his grasp.

Disciplines: Potence 3, Presence 1, Temporis 4, Fortitude 3, Protean 2

Out of time again.... I get busy in spurts.

(WIP)

Out of time to finish this but I'll get back to it. Basically Rob's sire uses him as a spy/assassin for himself and then 'gives' him to the Ventrue Prince of St. Petersburg After helping to dissolve the USSR Rob eventually assassinates the Prince and his Sire his installed into power then calls a blood hunt on Rob to hide that it was all a plot. Betrayed, Rob kills his way through the vampire court and diablerizes his sire for revenge then vanishes from Russia. After that its mostly rumors until he shows up in LA. The question: who does he work for?


I like this so far

Personality:
Tyler is a cheerful, smart guy and He likes researching things. One of the things he researchs is paranormal activity. He's also good at negotiating and likes programming things, history, computers, science, math, rockets, nuclear fission, engineering, nuclear fusion, food, paranormal activity, old music, and old movies. He's also a little crazy and likes to do things solo.

Biography:

childhood

Tyler was born 31 years ago. Since he was born, he has always liked science, business, engineering, math, and programming. He also has a brother named Michael who he likes playing with and doing stuff with. He's mostly been the top of his classes all through his childhood. He also likes to do things solo. He went to William Halley elementary school, South county middle school, and Thomas Jefferson high school. When he was 11, he started to get interested in paranormal things, mostly, vampires. He did some research on them when he was 14 and has been interested in doing even more research. When he was 17, he got attacked by a vampire. luckily, he got away unharmed. Now the attack made him go a bit crazy for a year. Until he was 18 pretty much, he researched all about vampires. He started to relax soon after the attack. He went to Stanford university for college and was mostly the best student in his classes. At Stanford, he loved the engineering, and science courses. He was almost always the best in those classes but, he liked to do everything in them solo. He graduated college when he was 25.


His Business

After college, he immediately started a small business. This business sold Information technology and built rockets, buildings, bridges, Etc. and It was started near San Francisco. Now some his rivals are Microsoft and SpaceX. Microsoft because well, its a tech company, and SpaceX, because Tyler wants to get to mars before them. His business was able to grow rapidly into an even bigger business. When he was 27, he bought another office building for his business in LA. Right after then, he decided to move to LA. About a month after moving to LA though, he was attacked again by a vampire. He was lucky again because he got away unharmed. Now this did harm him mentally a little. Luckily, he's okay but he's now always trying to find out who's a vampire and who isn't though. His business has also grown even more and its gotten pretty big. He currently has 987 office buildings for his company and growing. His main dream is to own the biggest company in the world!


Personal life

Tyler has always rather liked to play games and stuff by himself or with his brother, Michael. He likes to play board games and video games. When he's not at work, he might be playing video games. He mostly likes the video games that he's created but there are others that he likes as well. His favorite types of games are games with mythical creatures, RPGs, and sandbox games. his favorite game is a game he created called total sandbox. He also likes researching vampires and has a entire bulutin board of people who he thinks are vampires(like I said earlier, he's a bit crazy). He hasn't had many dates in his lifetime though he likes to dress up in formal clothes. He also likes to go on vacations and experience, life. He goes to party's sometimes and if he does, there usually formal or at least semi-formal. He can get angry really fast and if here's absolutely furious at someone or one of his employees, he can make them cry.


Some more about Tyler

Tyler always likes to donate to people who don't have. He recently donated $10000 to a charity. He also has set up a charity to help people who don't have. Also, His first home after college was a small town home near San Francisco. He now lives in a much bigger home in LA. Also, There are some vampires that he is friends with and he'll be nice to vampires that are friendly and don't bite, but he doesn't usually like being around vampires. Also, he is a liberal democrat who really hates communism.

NPCs: none yet but some may come...

Half this app is about as vague as the average Nova Scotian, and I've seen chavs format essays with more effort... And he has more 'casual' interests than Thomas fucking Jefferson.

"He was born 31 years ago." he's thirty one. Revolutionary.

"His rivals are Microsoft and SpaceX." Those are some very different rivals.

"He can get angry really fast and if here's absolutely furious at someone or one of his employees, he can make them cry." That's a HR and PR nightmare. I'm surprised the executive board hasn't fired him.

It needs work man.

So, uh...Boejoe, I'm going to offer my critiques on it so far.

The Physical Appearance is lazy. I mean that in all seriousness. First off, please use full sentences. "Formal clothes", also, is rather vague. It would be acceptable if you had an accompanying picture, but as you do not, I'm going to be extra harsh here. No offense to you. How long is his hair? How is it kept? What body type is he? Do not, please, state "big head, long legs, long arms, big shoulders". Say that his head is slightly bigger than the norm and that he looks like a gangly, awkward preying mantis or maybe something to that effect. How much musculature does he have?

The Personality is colorful, to state the least. Liking that many things is extreme, though him being crazy I would not be surprised if he did very few of those things well. However, doing all this...working solo isn't really an option unless he just likes to look at the Wikipedia pages every now and again or something. I also note a mis-capitalization here and there, so you might want to look into that or something. If you need an idea on what to state here, think of a few questions. What is his religion and how does he interact with it? How does he deal with failure? How does he fare with deceit? Can he, himself, lie? Does he consider certain things honorable or dishonorable? And, keeping all this in-mind, don't answer those questions in a test-style. Do not...and I say this in all seriousness...say "He is Catholic. He's not serious about it. He deals with failure well. He doesn't take lying well. He can't lie. He does not think lying is honorable." That is not good writing in any sense of the word. Try to...maybe pull-together a few sentences on each topic, perhaps.

The biography is...how shall I say this. You do not need to format things like this at all. As far as I can see, it's a rather small biography that does not seem to differ greatly from the one you entered previously. As such, the same issues apply. Your..."His Business" section is so very starry-eyes it makes me want to cry tears. You do not simply make a company and it suddenly rivals the giants in it's fields. You simply do not make a company out of nowhere and have it rival Microsoft. Hell, if they saw you were doing something good, they'd have bought you out or performed a hostile takeover. I recommend either more struggle or, you know...not having that section.

Your "Personal life" section is...well, it's nice he plays videogames. I doubt, heavily, that he has the time, though. After all, he has a massive company (Or something). For the most part...and by that I mean the entire thing on videogames, I do not see how that applies in the slightest to the game at hand, no offense to you. That portion just doesn't seem to matter. Him not having many dates is damn, damn, damn doubtful. Unless he's shit at talking to people...which should be included in his personality...he would have Gold-digging ladies all over him. Him making individuals able to cry should not be in this section; it should be in the personality section. If he does have mood-swings, that should also be included in the personality section along with whatever triggers said mood-swings.

The "Some more about Tyler" section. What do the people not have? This is an honest question. Does he donate to people who don't have condoms? Homes? Apartments? Children? What does he donate to. Also, for someone with a large company (Or something), donating $10,000 seems pretty damn little. That can cover someone's living expenses for...half a year. And again, which charity.

I will also state that "Also, he is a liberal democrat who really hates communism." is the most cliche-style line I have ever read and that I kek'ed hard at it because that is so very bad. It just...comes out of nowhere and doesn't mean crap. Hating Communism? Congratulations because that basically means he's an American.

Being young, rugged, and used to hardship and sacrifice helped make Rob a model soldier and he found his way into a Ranger Paratrooper unit that was deployed in Operation Husky. His service record in Sicily caught the attention of certain members of the civilian government, notably the chief of the newly formed OSS and Rob Weaver was recruited into the ranks of America's first intelligence gathering service. In the OSS Rob was given a crash course in espionage, demolition, and tradecraft before being sent back to Europe behind enemy lines. No official records of what Rob was directly involved in exist but hearsay puts him with a group in the City of Berlin shortly before the Soviet Union captured it from the Nazis.

After the OSS Rob was folded into the ranks of the CIA where his skills in espionage were refined. He was taught to speak Russian and Czech almost as fluently as a native and the intricacies of the regions culture and assigned to a new long term mission as a spy embedded in the Soviet Union's Politburo He fed information to the United States through a network of contacts until 1965 when his trickle of information suddenly came to a complete stop; he was assumed dead, they were technically right. Rob had been embraced by an elder vampire named Gerard Benedict who had been embedded in the upper crust of Russia since the time of the Czars who was disguised as Marat Glazkov a member of the Politboro.

For ten years Rob learned what it was to be kindred and his conditioning from a lifetime of following orders was reinforced using a combination of psychology and disciplines. Already a great soldier Rob became a nearly perfect soldier, never questioning the elders, never feeling remorse or pity for the things he was sent to do. By being trained in the disciplines of his clan as well as the Gangrel disciplines of Fortitude and Protean he was turned into his own weapon with no need for tools like firearms or blades - aside from the rare Assimite Rob became known as the greatest Camarilla Assassin in the Soviet Union and was often lent out by his sire in return for favors and power within the world of darkness but his loyalty ultimately lay with Gerard and his bloodline. In the early 2000's Gerard finally decided it was time for him to take control of the city of St. Petersburg

Age: 91 Appears 39

Species, Clan, Class: Kindred, True Brujah, Gen 7

Appearance:
At 5'9" 153 pounds with brown hair and eyes Rob looks like just about any middle aged white man the world over and that's part of what makes this particular kindred so dangerous. Being so easy to overlook makes this freelance covert operative's job just that much easier. The only thing that really sets this vampire apart from most people is his cold and calculated demeanor, so calculated in fact that it seems as if even his most subtle movements are planned several seconds ahead of time.

Personality: As a kindred embraced into the Bloodline of True Brujah he suffers from the opposite curse of his 'usurper' cousins. While the modern Brujah clan is all fire and passion those who call themselves the true sons of Ilyes are detached and cold. Those rare moments when Rob feels any emotions at all are muted and fleeting but are secretly treasured by the vampire. He seeks whatever emotions he can from both himself and others which often ends up manifesting in a sort of wry and mocking form of dark humor when addressing others and in extreme cases has lead Rob to taking actions considered extreme even for the damned. His lack of emotion does provide a few advantages in his line of work - the ability to perform even the most heinous or extreme deeds without even a twinge of remorse or regret is invaluable for someone like him.

Biography: In Eastern Europe Rob is known as an anarchist, a mass murderer, and a diablerist, but that narrative is only partially true. Rob was born in 1926 as Robert Weber and was the youngest son of a very large second generation "Dutch" American Family living in the American midwest in the halcyon days of the roaring twenties. He had eight other siblings on the homestead where his family raised wheat and corn as sharecroppers. His first foggy memories are of the dust bowl and the Great Depression where Rob and the rest of his family endured the loss of their farm and their home followed in the next few years by their mother and would be youngest sister due to congenital complications. Even after the depression Rob endured the loss of his two older brothers at Pearl Harbor and the Philippines after the Japanese attacked the United States and dragged them into World War II.

It is possible he was lent to Anna, whom has recently exited the gala which Max was hosting. Meeting her upon the road is possible, as would meeting her in her home once she arrives. I would suggest getting onto the Discord so we can all happily talk on it or something.

So is this a merger of the Old World of Darkness and Chronicles of Darkness? The various clans and factions say Old world but since a mage comes from one of the groups from Mage the Awakening is here makes me think this is a merger of the two is involved. Also nice to know mage characters are allowed.

I was going to do that a while ago, but I got distracted. I haven't got much reason to actually join the RP now, either.

Also, looking at the IC, it appears that some nice surprise-character death has occurred (seems a bit passive-agressive, but whatever). :p

It is a mixture of Old World and New World. Old World vampire clans and factions but incorporating New World lore.
