LARPing and tabletoping and online, oh my!

Hey everyone. My name is Sarah and this is the place where I will be ranting about my games. You are probably thinking video games, right? Wrong. This blog will be about my adventures LARPing(Live Action Role Playing) and tabletopping. I might even post art and photos though they will probably be related to said games.

Gene AKA Djinn

Name: Gene Harris Taylor

Hero name: Djinn

Age: 23

Occupation: Student

Powers: He gets his powers from three artifacts that have been entrusted to his family for generations.

Ring of Arcane

Choker of Unliving

Armband of Summoning

Bio: Gene grew up with magic. His father had the artifacts before him. On his fifteenth birthday, he received them. The story goes that his ancestors were members of this order that protected the Center. The Center created the artifacts for its guardians to use to protect it. The artifacts were tied to a single bloodline and only direct descendants can use them.

He joined the Justice League of America under the wing of Zatanna. He has many enemies.

Thanks to the last game, Djinn is in some deep shit. While trying to channel the Seven Deadly Sins through his body in order to lock them away in the Rock of Eternity, he accidentally pulled in the spirit of the recent incarnation of Captain Marvel, who had been sacrificed.

When he felt Marvel's spirit pass through him he said "Shazam" on an impulse. While this shoved the man's soul back into his body, it transferred Captain Marvel's powers to Djinn. His own powers where merged with the Rock of Eternity and he became Captain Marvel, much to his dismay. Thankfully his buddy Jack O'Lantern grabbed a piece of the Rock as it started to break down around them.

Lets hope Gene can get back to being Djinn and not be stuck as Captain Marvel.

Alicin AKA Cin

Name: Alicin AKA Cin

Age: 27

Virtue: Fortitude

Vice: Gluttony

Accord Status: 3

Accord Position: Quartermaster

Bio: There is one person on this Earth that I would do anything for and that person is my little brother Ny(Pronouced Knee). He lives with out Grandma, who used to be a nurse. Up until 5 years ago he lived with me in a tiny apartment in Downtown because our parents had passed away when I was 18 and instead of Ny going into the system, I took him. I was in College majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Music. I was also in a band, a small local band that was rising. You know, getting more gigs and the like. Five years ago Ny got really sick. Doctors were \'cautiously optomistic\'. Some kind of rare bone thing with a really hard to pronounce name. They said that the treatment would be painful and expensive. Insurance helped some but I had to take the rest of it out of my trust fund that my parents left me. They left Ny one as well but I wasn\'t going to touch it. The thing is though, Ny didn\'t get better. I held shows where all the money earned went to my brother\'s treatment. Two years after he got sick, Ny had some kind of complication that kicked the disease into overdrive. First to go were the strength in his legs. His bones couldn\'t hold him up anymore. First he had to use a cane, then crutches, then a walker and before I knew it he was in a wheelchair. And the pain? He spent most of his time doped up on morphine. When Ny got worse, I went into a bit of a spiral. Downwards, of course. I couldn\'t face the fact that the only person who mattered to me would spend what few years he had left in a wheelchair so doped up on morphine or so delirious with pain he couldn\'t even recognize his own sister. I surrounded myself with pumped up energy of crowds. My own shows or other concerts or even raves. I was always listening to music if I wasn\'t at one of those or with my brother. Then the doctors gave up. Said that the treatments weren\'t working anymore and the only thing they could do was make him comfortable. So he left the hospital and went to live with my Grandma, who used to be a nurse. They might have given up but I hadn\'t. I couldn\'t let the only person who mattered in my life die. So I did some research. Lots of research. Charms, talismans or spells to extend one\'s life or heal sickness. Ways to fend off Reapers or even bind them. Then I got really desperate. I was really losing it. In my research I found a way to summon and make a deal with a demon. Ha, dealing with the devil. Seemed like a last resort but then... I had no choice. Ny was getting worse, he couldn\'t even write anymore. And so I summoned the demon. I made a deal with it as well. The use and protection that a human host can provide, in exchange for him healing my brother. And so the deal was struck. It was slow going of course. Ny couldn\'t just be healed overnight. But over the past year he\'s been getting better, going through physical therapy and all that. I\'m glad he\'s better. The demon doesn\'t ask for too much, I guess. Nothing I can\'t handle anyway.

My occasional bodyguard Frank brought me into Accord to fight the Truth. Some of the members don't like me, especially the Cell Leader who is an Exorsist(talk about awkward). Now I'm the Quartermaster.

Obeah Manikin

Name: Obeah Manikin

Clan: Nosferatu

Sect: Camarilla

Age: 113

Looks: 27

Generation: 11

Bio: Obviously Obeah is not his birth name but he will probably kill you if you found out his birth name, he hates it that much. Obeah was born in New Orleans in 1900. He was born an albino in a place full of practitioners of Voodoo which was a dangerous thing considering the Voodoo culture believe that albinos have special powers. Because of this, Obeah was never schooled because it was too dangerous to let him out of his home alone.

His father ran a general store and his mother died in child birth. Obeah was attracted to the world of Voodoo against his fathers wishes. At 13 Obeah ran off with a Voodoo priest by the name of Bones to the Bayou were he spent 7 years learning from his master.

At 20 Obeah decided he wanted to see the world. At this point of his life he could speak three languages, English, French and Latin and could read and do simple math. So he goes to Chicago in 1920 where he is snatched up by a minor mafia family as a Cleaner and Healer.

Seven years later he decides that the outside world is fucked up and goes back to the Bayou where he asks his master to Embrace him.

Obeah spends the next 83 years in the Bayou as a Voodoo Priest.

In 2010 Obeah decides it is time to see the world again. His travels take him to Richmond, Virginia where he decides to settle down. His first official gathering happened to be the one where the current Prince was killed permanently.

For years Obeah was the only Nosferatu who wished to be seen.
