 Posted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 4:04 pm Post subject: Question on Existing Vampire Clans/Bloodlines |
 |
I'd like to take a quick roll-call on which vampire clans/bloodlines are currently existent/active in this rp community. These are characters of clans that are currently played, not those that at one time existed.
If you could post your characters and their clan so I could do a head count, I'd greatly appreciate it. Please include any information you have on their lineage including their sire, siblings, childer, etc so I could get an idea on existing bloodlines. If you currently conform to the VTR standard instead of the VTM, please post that information as well. If you are uncomfortable with publicly posting the clan/character name, please PM it to me with that notation.
I am fairly certain there is ...
Clan Cappadocian
Clan Assamite
Clan Giovanni
Clan Ventrue
Clan Malkavian
Clan Trimize
Clan Ravnos
and possibly Clan Tremere
Thank you. *smiles* |

Small clarification for someone who asked. The sires, siblings and childer that you hopefully include do -not- need to be currently active. A note saying whether or not they still are active in the Atlantic community would be nice, but the base should be your active character. I'm mainly looking for characters who actively play a vampire, which clan they are and how established/active their family tree is.
Thank you. |

Considering many who RP vampires want to keep thier lineage and heritage secret, perhaps you could explain what you want this information for?

I'm fairly certain a simple, "This clan ___________ is active as I have one," would work. I don't think she's asking you to reveal family secrets, names or birthdates. She is asking whether or not particular clans get played and are around. It's a very standard question. Now if she were asking for your entire doc-ea of who is who then perhaps I could see a problem.

No. She's not.
"Please include any information you have on their lineage including their sire, siblings, childer, etc so I could get an idea on existing bloodlines."
Asking for information about a secretive aspect of some characters is not a standard question.
I don't think asking "Why are you asking this?" is an outrageous question.

If you are uncomfortable with posting the info, then you absolutely aren't required to, Dealthagar. It was simply a request for information.
This is an OOC forum and I would -never- use such information IC.
To calm the suspicion that my original post has aroused, I will simplify my request.
If you do not belong to one of the following clans...
Cappadocian, Assamite, Giovanni, Ventrue, Malkavian, Trimize, Ravnos and Tremere
I would like folks to post or PM "I personally play an -active- vampire character of ____ clan". You do not have to give the character's name, nor give information regarding their lineage. I have no need to know anything about the clan itself as oocly I'm very experienced and knowledgable with the VTM and VTR clans. Ultimately, I simply wish to know OOCly which clans are in existence and which are not.
If you don't want to answer my request, you absolutely don't have to. I'm fairly positive regarding the existence of the clans I mentioned and am simply seeking out whether there are others I have missed. If you've got a problem with me oocly please do not allow it to taint this request or my inbox please. |

Hmmm, it seems to me she is asking for more than basic info. She said "Please include any information you have on their lineage including their sire, siblings, childr, etc so I could get an idea on existing bloodlines" I certainly don't see why asking why she needs this info is an issue. I don't even play a vampire, and I thought the request with no explanation seemed odd. I don't see that this info would be needed OOC myself, which is why a explanation would have been useful. I know I am new to the ARPC so new to how things are done here, but I've always thought asking a question is great way to clarify a confusing request. |

This is an OOC forum and I would -never- use such information IC. To be quite honest, I'm frankly at a loss by the insinuation via private messages that seem to suggest I might use it otherwise or that I might have some nefarious purpose behind my request.

For a simple "request", Ari, you wanted a tremendous amount of detailed info. You have since backtracked what information you want.
"If you could post your characters and their clan so I could do a head count, I'd greatly appreciate it. Please include any information you have on their lineage including their sire, siblings, childer, etc "
is a far cry from
"I personally play an -active- vampire character of ____ clan".
Vamps tend to be secretive. OOC information tends to wander into IC realms pretty quickly around these parts. Secrets don't stay secret. I know I wouldn't plug my information into a database or rollcall of vampires. I'd rather if people found out what other vampires I play, they found out IG and IC.
I don't have an issue with you or Bryelle, but given the level of response from the two of you, the defensive nature of your replies, and the insinuating PM's you say you've recieved, perhaps you should take stock of yourself and your recent actions.

I requested some information. I did not demand it, nor would I ever.
If you did not wish to share that information, a simple lack of a response would have been preferred.
You and I have never seen eye to eye Dealthagar, but I would ask that you respect me as a member of this community as I do you and not try and turn this into something more than it is. I was simply seeking some information on what clans existed currently in this rp community and information to show the extent as to how established their bloodlines are. That's all.
If anyone wishes to contribute, then please do so. If you would rather keep the existence of a clan an ooc secret, that's fine too.
*places a basket of chocolate, waffles, pancakes, souls, fresh meat, apples, xanax and anything else she can think of to soothe stomachs*
Let's try this again.
If you do not belong to one of the following clans...
Cappadocian, Assamite, Giovanni, Ventrue, Malkavian, Trimize, Ravnos, Tremere and Lasombra
I would appreciate folks to post or PM "I personally play an -active- vampire character of ____ clan". You do not have to give the character's name, nor give information regarding their lineage although an idea on how established your clan is in the community would be beneficial. Thank you *smiles*
*adds disclaimer* I am requesting this information, I am not demanding it. If you do not wish to share this information, you absolutely do not have to. |

There is a Toreador, though inactive. There also may or may not be a Brujah somewhere.

Jesus, let it go people lol.
What's the point in playing a vampire if it's so secretive anyways? I'm not bashing it, because I roleplayed on Cats yeeaars back with a clan of vampires who kept it a secret. But for one individual to roleplay themselves being a super-secret vampire and not writing anything OOC about it...wouldn't that be the same as roleplaying a normal human? Because ICly you're not going to act like a vampire, and OOCly you're not going to write things for your vampire. So what's the point of being a vampire?
Edit - Ariana, are we allowed to know why you want this information? Is it just something you randomly wanna know because you are interested in the roleplay lore behind all of it, in an OOC sense? Or do you have something cool planned?
I mean, something so little got blown out of proportion. So I hope it's something cool after all of that. Lol

It's a huge deal on Atlantic because when the vamp RP first started here, they kept it amazingly secretive. They would organize and plan things from the shadows. The only way you'd find out about other vampires was by being turned and being brought into it. It's not like playing a normal human, unless your idea of vamp RP is being the most stereotypical *BARES FANGS AT YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF A CROWDED ROOM* or *PULLS OUT VIAL OF BLOOD AND DRINKS IT WHILST AT TAVERN NIGHT* type of character. And last I checked, normal humans didn't have particular weaknesses they had to try and play around. |

I'm not angry until someone begins roleplaying that they sparkle in the sunlight. |
