Characters Wanted
True Sin is looking for humans, vampires, shapeshifters, werewolves, psychics, users of witchcraft and black magic, telepaths and other mythological creatures. Here are some potential character ideas:
Members of the Fellowship of the Sun Church & Soldiers of the Sun
These can be devout followers, preachers, or just people who wanted to be a part of something and fell into the Fellowship. This church exists for the sole purpose of ridding the world of vampires, considering them affronts to the Lord and a threat to everything humanity holds dear and holy. This church tends to accept egregious and violent acts committed in the name of vampire hatred, taking a very "means to an end" approach to their calling.
Soldiers of the Sun are also accepted; members of the Fellowship who take it upon themselves to eradicate the vampire menace. Even though it is against the law to kill a vampire (unless it's in self-defense), Chicago law enforcement is relatively lax in enforcing it.
Vampires
Since this game is based on a vampire story, it only makes sense for us to accept vampire characters. Vampires in True Sin don't necessarily fit the mold of what we consider a vampire. Sure, they drink human blood and stalk along the night, but there are key differences. Vampires can be killed via stake to the heart (beware: this is a grisly death -- these vamps don't just poof into dust) or with sunlight or fire.
Vampires do cast reflections in the mirror, and crosses and garlic have no effect on them. According to Bill Compton (or as I like to call him, Sookie Stackhouse Love Interest No. 1), vampires claimed these as weaknesses and characteristics to help them walk among humans. "Hey, I have a reflection, so there's no way I'm a vampire! See?" Vampires can also hide their fangs, only revealing them when feeding or threatened. Other than the fangs, vampires' faces do not change when they go all "grr!"
Some vampires choose to "mainstream," which is to say they try to live among humans. These vampires tend not to feed on humans, subsisting instead on the synthetic drink Tru Blood. There is no "vampire with a soul" mythology in the True Blood universe; the distinction between good vampires and evil vampires in this universe essentially boils down to philosophical differences over what it means to be a vampire.
Drainers and other dealers of illicit materials
This game is all about corruption and the dark underbelly present in modern-day society (particularly in Chicago), and as such, we need V dealers (like Lafayette from the television series).
Shapeshifters
Either with good intentions or bad. Think Sam Merlotte and MaryAnn from the television series.
Werewolves
We will accept werewolf characters sparingly; since Chicago is a bustling metropolis (unlike Bon Temps), it's unlikely the city would have a lot of werewolves. It is entirely possible, however, for werewolves to live in the more rural areas surrounding Chicago. Refer to season 3 of True Blood to familiarize yourself with this universe's werewolf lore.
Psychics
Sookie Stackhouse, main character of both the Charlaine Harris novels and the HBO television series, is psychic. Though we're led to believe at first that she's a human being, Sookie has always had the ability to hear peoples' thoughts -- even if she can't always control what she hears. A character with this ability is welcome, particularly one who has a different philosophy about their power and a varying degree of control. A psychic is rife with creative possibilities.
Witches
No Miss Jeanette here...we're looking for honest-to-goddess witches. White magic, black magic, someone who merely follows a pagan spiritual path--we will gladly accept such characters if their backstories mesh and they bring a lot to the overall plot and feel of True Sin. We'll also accept fake witches (the aforementioned Miss Jeanette is an incredibly disgusting example).
Humans
Humans who are on either side of the vampire debate are also welcome; not every character needs to automatically be supernatural, nor do we necessarily need characters who have strange abilities (like, say, being able to hear peoples' thoughts). We want an interesting mix of people that will make for equally interesting storylines.
Get creative and see what you can come up with. Be mindful of established canon and rules, though; there are several resources online to help people who might not necessarily be aware of the True Blood canon. We'll be posting links to those resources shortly.
