a story from appearing in the newspaper

influence.
Information
about any scenes that you have done between games:
Any
scenes that you played out between the two games should be listed here. If we
don’t find out a scene took place, it didn’t happen. Please tell the
ST’s about out of game scenes in your player actions.
Please
include the following details:
- Who
was in attendance
- What
was discussed (Point form is fine)
- What,
if anything, was concluded
- If
anything changed hands, let us know what it is
Short-term
goals, if you have any:
Should
your character have any short-term goals, list them here; also list what she
has done towards achieving them. Short-term goals should take between 4 to 6
months, if not longer, to achieve.
Long-term
Goals
Should
your character have any long-term goals, list them here; also list what she
has done towards achieving them. Long-term goals should take 6 months, or
longer, to achieve.
What
your character is doing between games:
List
any actions taken by your character between games. Please be as detailed as
you can with this. It saves us having to come back to you to get more
information.
Examples
of things you could be doing:
- Spend
time traveling around the city to learn the lay of it
- Spying
on Sir Cedric, with video cameras placed in an office across the street.
- Hanging
out in a certain location in hopes of meeting the right class of person to
work on getting influence.
The
list of things you can do goes on and on; be creative. As a general rule, the
more things you do in between games, the more stuff you will likely have to do
during the game.
Miscellany:
We
can’t be everywhere, private scenes can be missed by us, so please put them
in your player actions so we know about them.
If
you lost humanity, put that in your player action for our records.

XP
Spending:
Current
XP: 7
Spending:
- 1
XP for Firearms, because I have been practicing at the Firing Line gun
club for the past month
- 2
XP on my second level of Police Influence. I found out that Officer
Smith likes to cross-dress, so I’ve made contact with him informing
him that if he does not do what I want from time to time, the whole
department will find out. (Played the scene out with Cliff)

XP to buy the Social Trait Intimidating because of the way I intimidated
Officer Smith, and that Brujah from last game.

for any rumours coming out of Transcona using my Police x1 Influence.
What
your character is doing between games:
- Going
to the Firing Line three nights a week for gun practice
- For
Week 1
- I
follow the Anarch to his home after court on Saturday, using Drive x3
not to be seen and Investigation x2 to tell if he has seen me.
- Continuing
to investigate various police officers. Currently, I am trying to find
out more about the Chief of the Department located on Pembina Highway
across from the Safeway. I am doing this by following him and checking
his garbage.
- Throwing
myself at the ground, trying to get earth meld to work.
- For
Week 2
- Assuming
I have found where the Anarch lives, I will leave a note in his
mailbox that says the following: "You have enemies in the court
and I am not one of them. Meet me tomorrow night alone at the Garrick
movie theatre for the late showing of whatever movie is in theatre #1.
Come up the left hand side. I will be watching for you, and remember:
come alone."<.li>
- I
will go to the theatre, using Mask of 1000 Faces. (I would like to
meet and play this scene out on Wednesday or Thursday. Either week is
fine.)
- I
will also spend some time following any of the Chief’s kids around
to see if I could use them.
- Throwing
myself at the ground, trying to get earth meld to work.
Short-term
goals:
- Create
a friendly work relationship with some of the Anarch members, so I can use
them to get to be Prince.
Between
Game Scenes:
- Meet
with the Anarch from Saturday
