Julian Preston's page

Hearing Morgryms tone with the boys in blue, Julian steps off to the side closer to the group of mortals and slips into their conversation. While talking to them, he will keep an eye on the rest of the groups situation, but if things went badly, he was happier off to the side.

Julian actually breathes thanks to his Master of the Masquerade trait, so no worries there.

Julian throws up his hands. "Well, we are off then! But to where? Chicago is a big place afterall."

Seeing an opportunity to find some place in kindred society Julian jumps at the chance. "The Windy City! I have a weakness for new places and people. Count me in prince Modius, it would be my pleasure."

Same here, happy to go off to whichever city makes sense/ is easier.

Perception+Alertness: 4d10 ⇒ (6, 6, 3, 4) = 19 Fail
Perception+Empathy: 2d10 ⇒ (5, 10) = 15 Success
Intelligence+Politics: 4d10 ⇒ (10, 5, 5, 8) = 28 Success

Julian nods to Dalton and Lucian. "That is her. and did you see the look on Modius's face when she arrived? To be a fly on the wall in that room.."

Julian takes in the spectacle with amusement, then moves over to Dalton Rick and Lucian. "Um, any idea what all of that was about?"

I'm very sorry. Starting this saturday after a brief stay at my family, I will be accompanying my aging father on a road trip of over 1300 miles to retrieve two dogs and 'some' furniture. With Holiday traffic awaiting our return trip no doubt.

During this i will not likely have internet, so we're looking at 8 to 9 days when I will be unable to post.

I will try to get some in, but it seems unlikely I will be able to. Please bot me freely.

Have a good trip Shane!

Julian's eyebrows go up in surprise. He smiles to himself and steps back, taking no action. Would NOT want to interupt this spectacle. he thinks to himself.

Yep, I'm happy wherever you decide!

Awesome, have fun! Feel free to spill the beans on what the new AP will be!!

Julian approaches the Prince and bows his head slightly. "My apologies. I was transfixed by the beauty of your carved mantlepiece. Such fine craftsmanship. You know how my kind has trouble letting such a magnificent piece escape our gaze. Julian, in embarrassment, seems to actually blush. Anyway, a happy new year to you Modius. I am honored to have been included on your guest list.

Perception+Alertness: 4d10 ⇒ (1, 10, 10, 6) = 27

Julian turns his head from the prince just long enough to see the new comer. "Hmm, look what the cat dragged in.."

Preston, not Prescott. :-P

Julian smiles at his new friends. "James and Patrick, the pleasure is mine. Your presence would certainly be a welcome one at the Firefly."

Julian turns to the Nosferatu; "And George, I'm glad to see you made it through the doors. I didn't think the goons up there had the spirit of 92 on their list. Julian Preston." He says by way of introduction and reaches to shake Shanes hand.

Thanks everyone. Trying to get caught back up on my games now.

Hey all, I had a family member pass away over this past weekend, so my next few days will be full of family and funeral stuff. This coming weekend is also commencement at the university I work for, which generally takes up a chunk of my time. My posting will be a bit spotty this week as a result. I’ll still check in and post as I can though!

Ooooh, forgot about that. Been a while.

Shouldn't that 7 be a success?

As Julian and Lucien head into the ballroom, the Toreador muses. "Lucien, what do you think is going on here tonight? I've never known Modius to call an "All hands" type gathering before. I also can't help wonder what is with all of the workman types, staffing the party. I suppose it could just be a matter of convenience. They are probably already on the payroll after all."

Edit: I thought Dalton went into the room for some reason. Sorry for not saying anything to you in my earlier post!

"Dalton! I haven't seen much of you at the Firefly recently. Jenny has been asking about you. She says you must not love her anymore or some such. I swear that girl is a black hole of attention."

Jenny Lane is the bartender of the Firefly and as much the "face" of the place as Julian is. I picture Jenny to pretty much be Jeanette from the VtM Bloodlines video game if you are familiar.

Julian passes his coat over to the attendant. "Make sure you don't get any cobwebs on the cashmere." He adds with a smile. When taking his ticket though, he passes the attendant a 20. He may have been smiling, but he wasn't joking.

Once in the foyer, Julian smiles at the gangrel. "Happy New Year Lucien. Did you read the invitation? I would've thought we would be watching our final sunrise in the morning if we refused. "All who dwell in his territory" indeed. Anyway, it's nice to get away from the Firefly for an evening. Why would I think it would be a good idea to spend the rest of my nights running a bar anyway?" he adds with a chuckle.

"Also playing the part of 92... after midnight,it's 'say good night, Gracie'" Wryly

Julian smiles and winks to the Nosferatu. "See ya in there George."

Julian checked his appearance for the third time in the compact that he carried before exiting the limo. He figured this would be his first impression with many of the kindred of the city. You only get one chance and all that.. Before making his way to to the manse, Julian looked to his driver in the front seat. "Oh Harry, at this soiree will be some... mixed company. Remember to wait for me, but you may not want to open your door for anyone that you don't recognize. Enjoy your crossword." he pats the hood of the car and heads toward the party.

Approaching the door, Julians eyes go wide at the sight of Shane. "Oh god!" He remarks with a wry smile. "I had no idea there would be celebrities in attendance tonight Mr Burns." Looking to the door attendant; "Julian Preston, sir."

** spoiler omitted **

Hooray! I'll start looking over my sheet to make changes soon.

Hope everything is alright with the kiddo!

So, I redid Julian's stats on a form fillable sheet and none of it saved. I'm going to redo it during my lunch break today.

How are you all doing the dots with the bbcode on your sheets?

I'm cool with Milwaukee or Chicago. As far as WoD goes, I don't know anything about either, so it's all the same to me. I've also never been to either in real life, so there's that.

Also, would it be alright if I used this merit from the Lore of the Clans book? It's in the Toreador Section on page 200, if you've got the book.

Revised is very similar to 2ed so it should not be too hard to adapt.

Sure, you can submit him just tweak him based on the Recruitment as noted above. Looking at the original Recruitment, I believe these licks will be a bit more potent than the original build you had.

Yes to owning the Nightclub (I believe there is a Merit for that - 3 Points you should take). Do you want it near or far from the Succubus Club?

Domain is NOT a Background in 2ed just an FYI so two of the three points you would need for that Merit are freed up right there.

Gotcha, I'll dig up my revised books and redo his stats.

What is the Succubus Club? Is that something I should read up on?

Traveling vampire nightclub venue, popular spot for neonates to mingle and hear the latest rumors. The DJ is the developer of the game.

Ha ha, neat. Thanks for the info Jesse!

Morgrym; if you were skipping out on going Toreador on because of me, I can switch Julian to Ventrue. I'm really not tied to that choice at all. Either way works for me.

Manipulation 3 + Subterfuge 2 5d10 ⇒ (8, 4, 8, 9, 3) = 32 Three successes.

Cassandra laughs lightly.
"Not anymore, I'm not. Lead the way, Julian."
Jenni looks up briefly from shaking up a martini and catches your eye. "Four.", she mouths- meaning that room four upstairs is open.

Taking the lovely Cassandra by the hand you give her a tour, culminating in a walk up to the second floor and the private rooms.

And these, my dear Cassandra, are the VIP rooms. The waiting list to reserve such a room is typically..

Julian will continue to try try to seduce Cassandra , feeding on her in the heat of the moment. Two blood points will do. A well timed beep from his watch will remind him of his important guest that is arriving. He can't believe how quickly her presence has made the time pass and how sorry he is to leave her this way. She should certainly come back to see him again soon though.. Let me know what to roll.

"I do. And here probably, I own this establishment." Julian plants a soft kiss on the back of Cassandra's hand.

"So, may I show you around or are you.. waiting for another guest?" He lets a look of slight disappointment cross his face as he asks the last part.

Julian glides over to the table with a fresh mojito and a smile.

"Jenni tells me that you've been sitting here alone tonight. My name is Julian. Let me show you around." Appearance + Subterfuge 6d10 ⇒ (1, 6, 8, 7, 4, 1) = 27

Julian will be showing the kine one of his exclusive back rooms.

After three tries, Julian settles on an outfit. It was a brand new black suit that had arrived from Italy only a week prior. Julian's tailor had the perfect eye to match his tastes.
"God bless that man." Julian shakes his head after allowing his gaze to hang on his image in the mirror for a bit to long. You've got arrangements to make, can't stare at yourself ALL night.

Picking up his cell phone, Julian selects Jenni from his list of contacts, represented by a rather scandalous picture that he had snapped of her late one night. She hated that he kept it, but it provided no end of entertainment when he felt like teasing her.

After Jenni picks up. "Jenni my dearest, I'll be arriving early for my meeting with Qadir. I'm hungry and I'm sure you are too. If you could find it in that lovely heart of yours, pick out some lonesome creature and make her drinks a little extra strong.. and for christ's sake Jenni, do try to pick someone at least a little attractive this time. I nearly lost both of our dinner's attempting to drink from that last warthog that you chose last time."

With that and one last check in the mirror, Julian heads off to the Firefly for what should prove to be an interesting night.

Works for me! Blood Points 1d8 ⇒ 3

Is Soho a good place for Julian's night club?

Great, thanks guys. I'll get to work on filing out my back story soon.

Hey James, I've got my stats locked in, would you mind going over my math?

Still working on Julian. He's a rich trendy type, so I think he'll be living here.
