Thinking more about the how the Coterie would set up their Elysium. I've only really seen discussion just on who the Prince would be, but there are other court roles in Vampire the Masquerade. Since this is the first Vampire campaign for D20 and not all D20 fans may be familiar with the system so I'll say who i think gets the role and how it ties in to lore.

LaVonte as Prince: I feel like this one just makes sense he is the political front at the moment and he also has all of the buisness experience and has the vision. Also traditionally Ventrues tend to be Princes due to their ambitions.

Hj as Seneschal: The Seneschal is the one working closest with the Prince and helps with the business end of things and promotes the Princes vision. I think this role is perfect for HJ as we already know how close he is to LaVonte. I also dont think HJ would be Prince as his behavior seems too erratic and not to mention his social stats aren't as good.

Madelaine as Harpy: Harpys are like the social force and keepers of information. Since Madelaine is very effective at socializing and also making people fall for her, she would likely be the best for this role.

Zaeth as Keeper of Elysium: The keeper is the one responsible for protecting the Elysium and also setting up meetings with the Prince. Since Zaeth is currently in his responsible era I think he would fit this role nicely.

Mitch as Sheriff: The sheriff upholds the rules of the Prince and the Masquerade. Mitch was made for this rule given the whole justice thing and I think would he the best for the title.

Vesper as a Hound: Hounds are basically deputies appointed by the sheriff. I think she works for this as she and Mitch already have the superhero sidekick duo thing going and thats why I put her in this role. However, I do hope that by the end she views herself as more then a sidekick and to be her own hero if that makes sense.

Interested in other's thoughts, though I do think when they do set up Elysium they will probably do something funny like making Ghorse the Prince or some other classic D20 shenanigan

I was not aware of all the rules of VTM! This is so cool!!!

[wisconsonptoad]

so much of city council of darkness so far has been the spiritual successor to that one episode of neverafter where not a single one of the party's social interactions went even the tiniest bit okay and it's incredible

[0biivionn]

Madeleine doing some really heavy lifting to lift up the social score for them

[unseenbox]

I can't stop thinking about how HJ and/or LaVonte throw each other under the bus to win shady business deals often enough that even when LaVonte does it after fighting with him, HJ is completely, 100% understanding and supportive because securing the bag comes first, we all know this. Like that's how much they operate on the same wavelength.

Ally and Lou I am in your walls.

[0biivionn]

They make me sickkkk

[0biivionn]

This right after HJ takes his shirt off??

[thecheshirerat]

“do you ask HJ or LaVonte?” its giving which parent do you think is a sucker

[brennan-lee-mother]

Simply cannot stop thinking about the fact that HJ and LaVonte are Sire and Childe and yet seem to have no hierarchy between them at all. HJ unquestionably treats LaVonte as his equal and LaVonte feels perfectly comfortable yelling at and physically assaulting HJ, both of which are kind of unthinkable under the social rules of the Camarilla. It’s LaVonte’s name first in Worthy and Wingstreet Industries. They are Sire and Childe but more importantly they are partners.

heartbreaking: your problematic power gap yaoi actually respect each other as equals

Agent Clark was a whimp, my girl Nancy Danderhoof would've caught on to the Hilda Hilda/Wanda Childa scheme in an afternoon but wouldn't have published it because fig would tell her so much dirt about everyone else

[bioloyg]

HJ having almost negative rizz, MECHANICALLY, is maybe the funniest shit. Because it means his unsettling weirdo vampire swag is what won LaVonte over. That vampiric intensity and hunger. LaVonte looked at that and went, “forever sounds cool, let me do the talking though.”

And they were roommates

[museumgiftshoperaser]

I like to think Tyler figured out they’re all vampires his first week on the job. He’s lived in purpee all his life and weird shit happens there all the time. They’re not exactly subtle about it.

But he’s already got two Rolexes and a promotion out of it so he’s not about to say anything.

[islandoforder]

there’s something about the way that siobhan is essentially playing an entirely different game to literally the entire rest of the table like madelaine is just soooo optimised to being a cool hot sexy vampire

[0biivionn]

So yk how in most vampire hunter fiction the vampire is either some oppressive force or just always roaming in the shadows? So that when the hunter manages to kill the vampire its either a victory for the town or nobody notices?

Yeah wtf is Aaron's plan??? Because at this point in ccod, these vampires are well known and especially well LIKED! All things considered, they have been a net positive for Purpee. If they suddenly go missing or are found dead, wth is Aaron's plan? Its not like nobody will care that the group of rich philanthropists in town all suddenly and inexplicably disappear

[0biivionn]

Every so often I go on dropout just to look at cloudward ho! like a former lover i haven't gotten over yet

[nosnexus]

Hey, YOU KNOW IT!

City Council of Darkness episode 7

[0biivionn]

Once again Madeleine proves that the Camarilla could have sent her to Purpee by herself and she would have done just fine

[0biivionn]

I love how everything about HJ and LaVonte in theory screams powerful, influential businessmen, however practically they cant help but shoot themselves in the foot.

them <333

there's basil in your fucking coffin! get that shit out of there!
