00: Rules, Truths and Sheet

Home Rules and Assumptions

• Zack is built as a standard vampire player character.
• The setting is vanilla Santa María, in US Florida State’s east coast, present time.
• I alternate the Action Roll and the optional Moves as mood and situation demand.
• I use oracles more often than not, but I will jump at good ideas without doubt.
• Every now and then I repost Zack’s current stats (Harm, etc) to inform the reader.
• I write on the present tense, third person, with a rather quick narrative style.
• I avoid out-of-character writing as much as I can outside of rolls.
• I intend for Zack to reasonably survive and thrive, but I obey fiction and rolls.
• I avoid gore and sexual RP, and I curse sparingly if it makes sense.
• Zack is imperfect and his opinions and actions do not reflect my values.
• I aim for each post to contain 500-1000 words.
• This is a pet passion project and I don’t have money to spare, so I use AI for character art. Sorry.
