Between March and May of last year, I had been bouncing the idea off
some friends of playing a game separate from our table ventures via
e-mail, IM, or text. The response I got was fairly positive, so in
mid-May, we worked out that we would try to have a game via text, and I
hashed out some quick rules and details after deciding on the new World
of Darkness.
Our Chronicle took place in Chicago, and though we didn't make it too
far into the game, I found it fun and the game actually ran for almost a
year, and could have been longer if not for an extremely long hiatus
breaking focus amongst the players.
In this series, I will be posting the character sheet and logs for one
PC per post. Along with the character sheet, I will give the background
info submitted by the player, as well as various notes from me,
including their "tie" to the supernatural, explaining where I wanted to
take the game with them. The ties were all made early on, and I'm not
100% sure that's where I would have gone with them as the game
progressed.
The logs and character sheet are presented as-is, with typos, etc. Player text is default color.
This one is for Azhure's character, Llana Larsen.

Background: Llana is a 33 year
old pharmacist with a passion for firearms. She is a little reserved and has
trouble warming up to people. Llana is an unremarkable woman except for being
somewhat short at 5'2".
Tie:
Hunter, working for a cell of The Cheiron Group unknowingly, as a pharmacist at
one of their Jones-Klein-Beauchamp facilities.
Logs
ST: work has been shit lately. Not only have there
been major restructuring of the departments, you've been assigned to selective
destructuring topicals [OOC: I'm not sure if this field exists, but basically,
selective necrosis for smoothing scar tissue and aid in removal of various
blemishes and non-fatal tumors]. The group is comprised of mostly younger or
fairly new employees
ST: Meaning that, among other things, nobody is used to each other's
work ethics/styles
Llana: I'm not
too keen on meeting or learning to work with new people, especially the younger
crowd, but not entirely unhappy with the department I've been assigned too. I
like the chance to have a hand in something that would make a difference, even
a small one, to someone
ST: the next few days are filled with math, math, and
more math, as your team begin work on topical base formulas, and your nights
are filled with light reading...the 400 page report that is your assignment.
Deep into the report, you notice that a key focus
for the project is to "cleanly" deteriorate inert organics at a
progressive rate
Llana: after spending almost
a week //with next to no sleep// pouring over text book after text book of
medical data and research, we've come up with an enzymatic gel that is
effective in the removal of devitalized tissue. The enzymes collagenase and
fibrinolytics were proving to be the most effective.
The downside being
that neither enzymes distinguish between viable and nonviable tissue.. Maybe
sometime in the future there may be a way around this, but for now, there
isn't. //All in all, a good way to end the week, I think. Now if only we could
get some decent coffee around here..//
ST: your
work during the week goes along about as well as suspected. There are plenty of
hang-ups in finding the right compounds, as one can hardly train enzymes to
target certain materials, or differentiate between them
During
the testing phases of the most viable options, visitors have been brought in to
observe by upper management.
ST: These
visitors will sometimes engage in small talk, and have ID badges naming them as
scientists, doctors, safety co-ordinators in the company, etc., but all seem to
not have the mannerisms or knowledge needed, in some cases, to convince you
fully.
Perhaps the company is bringing in private contractors or bidders, or
maybe there is a high degree of nervousness and stress accompanying the project
Next up, Maxine.
