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

Some things I wanted to point out after looking at the pc character sheets. Some of them have a few features they haven’t used yet and that I’m curious about.

I noticed HJ has Ugly level 1 which isn’t that important but I just thought was funny. Like he’s not even ugly, Ik it’s just a feature but damn, why’d they do him like that. 💀 More importantly, I noticed he had prey exclusion, which, I might be wrong, but we haven’t seen him have any difficulty with only being able to prey on a certain type of person. We’ve only seen him seek out his preferred type.

Speaking of Prey exclusion, Madelaine does not have this feature for some reason, despite the fact that she’s clearly inflicted by it. We know she can only prey on people of status. I figure it’s probably just because we don’t have access to their entire character sheets because I don’t see “Preferred Prey” listed on either HJ or Madelaine’s lists. I also noticed she has level 1 “Check the Trunk,” a feature we haven’t seen her use yet. This skill means she had an easy access to armory so if it’s convenient, she could just whip a tool out for something. Less surprisingly, Darkness Man also has this but at Level 2.

Last thing I noticed is that she has a flaw called “Stigmata,” which means at hunger level 4 she’ll begin to bleed out of her hands, feet and forehead. This will probably become important soon considering the fact that Madelaine hasn’t fed since like episode fucking 1. She’s consistently been rolling really well on hunger so she’s only been on hunger level 2 for the past several episodes. I know Siobhan was curious about whether or not she could feed off the Whittakers or Douglasses but I don’t think we’ve seen her try yet. Either way, I wonder how that’s gonna play out.

Couple things I noticed abt LaVonte is that he’s Stake Bait. RIP! Stake bait means that they have final death if they’re staked in the heart. I think it’s caused by some sort of curse or blood defect. I wonder how he got it 🤔. He’s the only one in the lineup who has this flaw. (I read that it’s kind of a dumb flaw cuz it just instakills your PC but I want to assume it’s related to his backstory and that it’s included for an actual reason.)

There are a few features he has that I’m actually unclear on what their purposes are. He has level 2 minor boon but I’m not sure what that means, even when looking it up. It seems like he can call in a favor if he needs it? Which he’s utilized a bit. He also has eat food! Helps with blending in with humanity although I don’t think he’s ever actually done it on screen. He also has prey exclusion which again, we haven’t seen that come up but maybe I missed something.

Honestly, I think Zac has utilized a lot of Zaeth’s advantages with one blaring exception: Fame. Meaning at some point, Zaeth was famous among mortals, so people might recognize him. He actually also has “zeroed” which is probably a foil to fame. Zeroed is an advantage where all record of his existence has been wiped so he’s off the grid. I imagine his sire would’ve done that for his safety so it makes sense. I think those two things present some interesting backstory. Maybe he was famous in his mortal life and when he was turned, he couldn’t be that person anymore so his sire had to get him off the grid. (He also has illiterate level 2, lmaooo checks out.)

Both Vesper and Darkness Man have been employing the largest amount of their skills and have been affected by their disadvantages the most. Really milking every single part of their character sheets. Also HJ has one more dot in dominance than LaVonte…. do with that what you will.

Edit: I was informed that HJ and LaVonte have prey exclusion cuz they’re consentualists! They need to ask permission to drink someone’s blood so ignore that part of this post lmaooo (thank u comments!)
