  • -- Cephalomancy: A divination used to gain information from the head of a corpse. (Origin: 1st Iteration - I came up with it after reading about the ancient Greeks and Egyptians performing this miracle.- BZ)(Brian:ST)
  • -- Ceremonial Circle: A ritual abjuration meant to prevent catastrophic failure when working necromancy. Origin: I originally gained the necromantic ritual - Circle of Cerebus, a level one Giovanni rite after attacking and killing a household of Australian Giovanni in Sidney - circa 2037 - 1st Iteration. But, after playing with it for a while, Jamie and I deemed it too powerful and I researched this variant which is very basic.{BZ} (Brian:ST)

Proposed Discipline Combinations

This discipline combination eliminates the penalty from (skin of the chameleon) for moving faster than walking speed.

System: the vampire activates skin of the chameleon as normal and another blood point to activate this ability. When active, the movement penalty is negated for a scene, however, when the vampire moves at greater than walking speed, observers may make a perception + alertness role, difficulty = to 10 - the number of actions the cloaked vampire takes in the round. This perception role may only be made if there observer takes a full round! If successful, the observer sees the outlined form of the cloaked vampire but gains no further information about that individual unless he/she successfully sees past the hidden figure's dex + stealth.

Downtime Plans

Short Term: 1-12 months Track down and identify who got 'Germano' declared legally dead.

Establish havens and boltholes in Quebec City, Boston and Las Vegas.

Thoroughly familiarize myself with Germanos' memories and associates.

Mid range goals: 10 - 50 years

Re-establish my relationship with Kamiko as Germano.

Create contacts within Texas, the NATF and FAS, both mortal and supernatural.

Continue investigating the Giovanni, their soul caches, power structures, allies, enemies and weaknesses.

Make a play for an industry to raise my resources to a 6.

Set up an information network so I have a better idea of what's going on in the wider world.

Discus possible benefits/deficits with the upcoming destruction of Mexico City.
