Thin-Blood Alchemy 1
-Distillation Method: Fixatio
Prefers to cook on an exhaust manifold, but a hot plate or electric stovetop will do in a pinch.
-Formulae:
TBA 1 Haze. Exhaust fume infused blood, cooked down and filled into a custom one-hit atomizer; vaping vampire-style.

Celerity 1
-Rapid Reflexes

Flaws

Branded by the Camarilla

Clan Curse (Toreador)
K likes things that are personalized or modified from the standard - custom clothes, from bespoke tailoring to self-bedazzled; unique buildings, from obviously personal paint color to murals and graffitied walls; customized cars, whether mechanically modified or just sporting a bumper sticker.

Vitae Dependency

Merits

Lifelike
Part of my idea for K is his naïveté towards the full horror of being a vampire; he lacks many of the physical transformations that mold the unlives of full-bloods, and takes this for granted.

Day Drinker
Sunlight halves Health tracker (rounded up) and removes vampiric abilities such as Disciplines and Health benefits, but has no other effects. Hunger is unaffected. If Health drops below current damage levels, suffer the effects of Impairment or torpor until clear of sunlight.

Discipline Affinity (Celerity)

Flaws

Bonding 1 - Bond Junkie
Adversary 1 - Neonate (his anonymous Sire)

Looks 2 - Beautiful
Fame 1 (street racers)

Backgrounds

Some ideas

“Hate the game, not the player.”
-Hastings, rival street racer. Much better financed, she often beats K through sheer mechanical advantage; while the two don’t like each other, they respect each other.

“Everybody’s got a shot.”
-Tina G, ex-girlfriend from his teens. Applied herself at school, got scholarships for college and law school, and just got hired at a prestigious law firm in the city.

“Always back your team’s play.”
-Dante Green, Tina G’s brother and fellow member of the HK Grads. Went along with his crewmates despite disagreeing with a job, purposefully got caught by police to allow others time to escape when the job predictably went awry; currently serving time in Hill Correctional.

True Age 26
Apparent Age 23
Date of Birth 08/05/1996
Date of Death 08/05/2019
Appearance 80s retro: clean-cut, customized varsity and bomber jackets, jeans, high-end sneakers, sunglasses.
Distinguishing Features Good looks, 80s style, ‘HK Grads’ varsity jacket, aggressive positivity.
Random Bits HK Grads varsity jacket has patches for every kind of car he’s stolen; loves stand-up arcade and pinball games; favorite car is the 1987 Pontiac Trans Am GTA; learned early that folks are more attracted to someone who’s willing to dance with them; customization is key - ready made is for suckers; favorite movie is the 2009 anime Redline.

History Grew up poor in the city, juvenile delinquency led to recruitment in the HK Grads (Hard Knocks Grads,) a local chop shop crew. Learned professional car theft, car mechanics, street racing, and getaway driving. Known professionally as ‘Outrun’ - originally coined by his crew due to his obsession with synthwave and retrofuture aesthetics, it’s relevancy expanded with his turn as street racer and wheelman.

Was rashly Embraced by an unknown Toreador to serve in an ill-conceived attack on rival vampire; operation was a disaster, but K survived through skill and luck. Survived on his own for a time, finding another Thin-Blood who taught him the basics of Thin-Blood Alchemy and told him the basics of vampire society. Deciding the Camarilla were the Big Name in vampire affairs, K presented himself to them for probationary membership.
