Brainstorming/Plotting post

Let's world build!



So I had a few ideas for things but most of it was linked with Duo's history. We were pretty vague about the city so how did you want to play that, just sort of set it in a random city much like our own world and leave it at that?
From the way we played it I'll say it's obvious that vampires and werewolves and so forth are known to the rest of the world, so everybody knows it's dangerous to go out at night, so I imagine it's a pretty lawless place after the sun goes down.

I can imagine certain parts of the city having, like, vigilante groups who protect normal citizens from anybody who wants to mess with them? and maybe there are certain areas of the city that are mostly for vampires or werewolves, like pack territory.

In terms of how vamps and werewolves work in this world, as you probably guessed I was sort of dropping hints that Duo was a werewolf, and I had some thoughts for how they could work in this setting, so maybe if I work out the wolves and you work out the vamps?

So I'm going to jump in here. Since I'm the party crasher, you guys can let me know if this fits into what you've been thinking or not.

But I figure Quatre will probably be human, but a witch. Much to the displeasure of his predictably prestigious high-profile family. Quat's out on his own anyway, running something of a safe haven for people of all species in one of the rougher parts of town, trying to keep it neutral ground. But he'll defend his place and his people if he has to.

So witchcraft in this instance I imagine is a mix of some inherent power and a lot of spells and charms and talismans. That sort of thing. Probably has the greatest effect on regular humans; other critters with magic have varying defenses/levels of resistance, etc.

Anyway yes. This is what I've been thinking.

Sure they can have met! I'd be up for plotting out how or threading a flashback.

Quatre and Trowa have known each other for a bit. Trowa's player and I have been working that out. :)

That works yeah! His place probably has a reputation so Duo could have been directed to it or Quatre could've stumbled across him and invited him.

Basically running the Hotel Transylvania.

Sounds great.

Question though: what's he going to do with all those strays? lol

Excellent question.

At least one of them he's going to feed apparently. :D
