More RPG Stuff: If the Door Is Closed, Go Through the Window
I've thought of an alternate approach to playing a Daughter of Cacophony without actually playing a Daughter of Cacophony should the staff react with horror and fear at the proposal. In the spirit of my whole "The Daughters of Cacophony are a Ventrue Bloodline!" crusade, I could play her as a proto-Daughter of Cacophony that is the childe of the childe of the DoC Progenitor. Which ... I believe would make her 9th Gen. I could add another "Childe of" if necessary I suppose. Because all bloodlines come from somewhere, most aren't created when a new person is embraced -- rather they transform, and there is so little known about the DoC origin, it's perfectly reasonable that the very first DoC sired a childe, or childer before she had evolved so much as to become the first of a new bloodline.
Mechanically and socially what we are looking at is a person who can only trace her lineage back to the childe of the DoC founder due to the fact that the founder remains a mysery (no doubt through excessive use of Dominate -- thus further supporting the Ventrue claim). Possibly she could go back further sighting Ventrue in her Lineage but missing a few generation steps. She would have the Ventrue clan flaw, and the disciplines: Presence, Fortitude, Dominate, plus I will take the "Additional Discipline" merit in the Cam book to add Melpominee. I know that the staff can't be TOTALLY against it, because there are presently PCs in play that have the discipline. Most likely, she will also have Toreador clan status, and will be treated as Toreador socially -- an adoptive member of the clan. The reason she would not call herself Ventrue, is because the Blue Bloods are SO extremely meticulous about their lineage, and male dominated, that they would not knowingly tolerate a bastard bloodline of their prescious blood of all women to be made known.
I will make multiple charater sheets with starting stats, and then add my EXP from Domani once Willa tells me how much I have to apply. I'm anticipating about 40 EXP. The merits I plan to take are: Additional Discipline (if Ventrue), Enchanting Voice, Ability Aptitude (if not Ventrue), and possibly efficient digestion or calm heart. As for flaws I plan to take bad sight (if I have it OOC I might as well get the points for it), and disfigured (embraced hairless, and weak from chemotherapy). I will also add the Derangement: Synesthesia. Again, if I have it OOC, I might as well get the points for it as it will be played out. Humanity will be at least 7, possibly 8 or 9. And... I think that's it.
