Splat Roleplay Expectations

General Expectations

Cross Splat knowledge is exceedingly rare, even among participants in a mutual activity. Werewolves are often times too repulsed by most kindred to even distinguish them once identified, let alone be aware of the various kindred factions or structures. Kindred are equally shunned from most Garou society to prevent a deeper understanding of most of their religion or social structure. This is not to say that knowledge is impossible, or that star crossed lovers are discouraged, but that characters should have justifications past "My friend who knows what these things are told me" for using advanced knowledge in this way.

Faction Leader Expectations

• Faction Leaders are held to a higher standard for their respective splat, similar to how Trusted Ancilla players are.

Vampire the Masquerade Expectations

Kindred society is a stratification of knowledge, with the oldest having a lion's share, and the youngest largely unable to do much better than taking the word of their elders. True knowledge of agreements such as the former Convention of Thorns or the Giovanni Promise are kept to the most esoteric scholars, and the original pens of the documents. Soft agreements and understands in spirit of agreements that are hard to understand, are the norm.

Kindred Society is held together through obligations, slavery, and ties between the sire and childe. Even the Anarch Free State is largely defined by its opposition to these things, more than a unified vision. Autarkis are exceptionally rare in established cities, and the dead sire cliche can only cover so many character types. Be a part of your clan, especially as one that generally honors it higher than sect such as the Nosferatu or Venture. Off screen characters are perfectly acceptable as sires. Minor canon character relation can spice up a character's backstory, but ten sons of Hardestadt would not be a compelling story!
