After the disaster that was Hakamichi Kurloz, I tried making a "Contrasting Sequel Main Character." As Kurloz was a Physical Primary, I decided this next character would be a Physical Tertiary. Nosferatu Vampires don't quite allow for much that isn't "Social Tertiary unless you build really super-specific," but I wanted a social Nosferatu and damn it I was going to get one.

Originally, the plan was to make a Werewolf and play Werewolf. But, people voted Vampire instead, and the idea of Tiffany "Oiracul DuFour" Krieger being a Werewolf enemy of Hong Kong's Ordo Dracul was tempting but passed up. I was still leery of engaging in PvP within the Chronicles of Darkness system, as it bit me in the ass last time.

I told the Storyteller of my past with Vampire, and made a Sequel Character with the potential for Kurloz as a Mentor / later Touchstone. Her name was Higashikata Lillian, because I wanted to at one point make a JoJo protagonist; and, I had not heard of anyone on Giants in the Playground doing a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure homebrew campaign. She was an edgy Circle of the Crone initiate (in Hong Kong, Cruac was referred to as "The Vermillion Mysteries" and the Circle of the Crone bore the nickname "The Vermillion Herons"), with a weird looking pompadour to be her physical representation of her "Nosferatu Bane." As a Yagnatia, she basically could not sire childer without specific Cruac rituals (I didn't intend to sire anybody; Kurloz didn't either, but siring does have penalties which meant that you could non-Standard-Game-Over if you did it en masse). She adopted one of her friends (Nijimura Anzu, a blind Nosferatu from a different bloodline where Sound powers were supreme) and a professional chef who got caught up in a potential Masquerade breach (a Human Touchstone named Tonio, who I started out with as the first Touchstone).

I was the only consistent attendant of this Hong Kong campaign, and the Storyteller eventually had to go for professional out-of-game reasons. I had promised to come back, whenever it was possible, but the Hong Kong game was disbanded on Roll20 some time ago. I also stopped using Roll20, for a lot of reasons, and tried branching away from Vampire anyway.

Higashikata Lillian is a cool concept in of herself, as she specialized exclusively in Heavy Weapons Fighting, but only had a Dexterity of 1. If she got into battle, she would basically have been a glass cannon. She had a dot of Auspex, Nightmare, and Dominate each (two of these count as in-clan/in-bloodline), so her focus was more on Mental/Social situations. She probably would have attempted to become a one-person coterie, like Hakamichi Kurloz before her, but at least the reasons for doing so would have been legitimate as opposed to "caused by people being too Goth/too Munchkinny" (a one-player Chronicle is already a little sad, but it was a truth for a while; some people tried to get into it for a session, but the schedule had to be rotated so hard that I was still the only person who was a mainstay in this game).
