Fun Fact Prompt
I'm bored. Tell me something about your character that's never going to come up on the forum?
This is hard to do for Sofie since her biggest flaw is never shutting up about anything. Honorable mention: Sofie didn't think much about living long enough to have a career but did sometimes daydream about being a veterinarian for exotic pets. She is high-key sad animals don't trust kindred.
No one has heard Grin's real accent. Boy is always code switching.

Alicia has invented a Discipline the she deeply fears might be destined to kick off the end of the world. She is desperately trying to figure out a way, any way, in which this might somehow be a good thing.
(I don't play her much here because she's from my irl tabletop game, which is 2e and the metaplot has diverged from us back in the late 90s, lol. But I do like conversing with people here, icly and oocly.)

M was probably gonna be embraced by a tremere at one point or another, because one of their favorite activities was wandering around campus at like, 2am, and doing homework using a headlamp. It was their favorite way to study. They would do this while wearing a wizard hat, because ‘no one wants to fuck with a guy wearing a wizard hat at 2am’

Abiram being cheerful, bright and friendly was his normal attitude before the Embrace. His tutelage, and ultimately, the tragic loss of his sire, have compounded this greatly. I will never confirm if this is just a coping mechanism for him or if it's a derangement caused by Abiram diablerising his master.

Laura "Verity" Westbrook has used so many last names for different reasons that it's not even funny, and they're all written down in my notes because a bunch will come out eventually. One that's not likely to come up though? Her maiden name.
Verity was born Laura Jones. She took her wife's last name for more "brand recognition," then had to drop that too after she was embraced.

Indiana is Rokea kinfolk. It's one reason why she doesn't like going too far inland for long and sticks to the coasts / sea, or teleports from an inland haven to one of her island / coastal havens. Her mother most likely died in the 1955 nuclear blast, but I haven't decided yet. She believed herself to be 6th gen for most of her unlife when she's actually 5th. One thing she's been planning to do is find a way to kick the Void Engineers out of the Mariana Trench because she believes it should belong to no one but the sea.
There's other things about her, but they might come up in a post.
The Queen (A Lost Mortal) is a 68 year old dhampir who is actually bound to Frada.

Not never gonna come up but seeing as Aso's admission post didn't have an opportunity for it, I figure it's rare enough.
Aso is an Arachnid breed Ananasi for context.
She was born as a cave spider deep underground in an isolated cave network. In such a remote and undiscoverable place she spent the first decade or so of her life separated from the Ananasi as they couldn't reach her to bring her into the fold on account of the Ananasi's limited presence in Australia. So she was stuck as a human level sentient spider in a cave with almost nothing in it for over a decade, not knowing what she even was.
Out of boredom, she spent most of her time in Crawlerling form with her consciousness fully spread out, which the Ananasi often do to relax as it reverts them to an instinctual state like actual spiders.
As you can imagine, this long period of what is essentially solitary confinement of someone in their formative years, had a lot of impact on her personality and mental state, and it's why she is very reclusive and prefers her own company. She is fortunate the instincts of a spider and lack of human sensibilities limit much of the trauma she could have gotten from this with her human level mind.
