I'm Mike, aka Millarcus I've been playing VtM for ... well, far too long. Online I've been involved with the Neonates Guide, Lincoln by Night and a few others both playing and running. Love VtM , mourned big time when Vampire Requiem came. In rl I'm an artist. I'm probably on the older side of most players but who cares. Love rp, always have since D&D was first printed. I live in England in a typical village in the middle of nowhere so look to the internet for gaming. Look forward to meeting you all in game and Ooc.

Crasiuz is Mike
Mike is an inside salesman in the Lone Star State.
Played a few RP games, and never really took an interest in VtM until I saw yall! Hopefully it works to an advantage...I rather like the freedom and aspects of it.
My RL age is of young going into old but not yet there.
LARPing is definitely fun, I play one LARP that actually has real combat over here in Tejas.
As for RP games I play the MUDs from Iron Realms. All these things plus now add me to the VtM gang! woot!

Great, guess I'll just add another Mike to the pile. Must be something in the water.

Anywho, Hiya! My name's Mike and I'm currently living in Nevada. I kind of stumbled on this the other day while looking for some type of forum roleplaying thing that I could get into. From what I've seen so far, it looks pretty entertaining and expansive.

Normally, I'm more of an online-mmo player, but I've found that the only reason that I've ever really played those was that it gave me a chance to find other people that enjoyed roleplaying and to act out stories in-game. I think it's 'cause I was corrupted by an earlier game I'd played online (I think it was called Nightscape or something similar, it's since been cancelled), which was basically just a text-based RPG with stats and such, but the entire premise was roleplaying with others. I was on that thing for hours at a time before they cancelled it. Haven't really found anything like it since, though I've been looking.

I've never really played any tabletop games, though I was interested for awhile, but couldn't find any other people that shared the interest. The only experience I've had with Vampire the Masquerade was that one Bloodlines game for the PC, half an episode of Kindred (which I guess is loosely based on it), and one LARP meeting in Jacksonville, Florida which didn't turn out too well, probably since someone took me to it on a first date without telling me what it was (not a good idea), compounded by her also bringing her husband to the same LARP meeting (usually not a good idea to bring your spouse on a first date, or so I hear), and I spent the entire time sitting back in a corner watching everyone with my fingers crossed, since I was told that the resident crazy Vampire, Lord Orange, would stab me with his katana if I didn't. So, not the best introduction to the whole thing, but I've always been interested in it regardless.

Anywho, when I first started looking around here, my plan was to make a character with massive multiple personality disorder and a mild case of the crazies, and I was delighted to see a clan that actually seemed to cater to that exact character concept. Unfortunately, I noticed that in the FAQ it says that Malkavians are generally not for new players. I was kind of curious why this is and what kind of new player it was referring to? I'm not a stranger to roleplaying odd or difficult characters, and I tend to pick the characters that are more complicated and challenging to roleplay, but I might be at a loss if you're referring to players who aren't experienced with the Vampire ruleset, 'cause I have to admit that it's a little overwhelming going through all of the rules and FAQs and Wikis without any real prior knowledge. Still entertaining though. So, any help or clarification on that would be welcome.

Anyway, guess I'll stop rambling here, since this is supposed to be an introduction and not a novel. X.x
