Re: Is there room for Faith in Prague?

Dear Faith:

Yes, it’s been ages and I’d be really glad to see you. So why don’t you just get away from all the turmoil in Hamburg and spend some time here, I sure could help you get some gigs. In this town you’ll find all sorts of clubs and I’m sure some of them will suit your fancy.

Prague, my city, is amazing at night. It’s the hub of the country and with almost 2M mortals it sure provides for good feeding! Prague Castle, the largest in the world, is quite a sight. It’s said that it’s also amazing during the day, but we wouldn’t enjoy that, would we? Anyhow, I’ll take u sightseeing, I promise.

Now, let’s see, here’s a quick survival guide any kindred arriving into Prague should know. First things first, the town ruler (for now) is Radek Meiste, he’s your clanmate, so you’re more likely to be easily welcome. He holds the leash of Mayor Pavel Bem (mortal), so yes, he’s quite influential. Oh, and watch out for Baclav Vuorinen, liaison to clan Tremere and apparently Radek’s errand boy although rumor has it that, as any “warlock”, he’s got a hidden agenda. You’ll find the prince in… yes, your guess is right: Prague Castle. 

The National Museum, which I’m sure you will enjoy, is Elysium. Its keeper is Andreas Karsten from clan Brujah. I know what you’re thinking, but he’s the old style, idealist sort and he’s very adamant when it comes to keeping the pax vampirica within Elysium. Personally, I’ve always tried to be in good terms with him because he’s the only one who could allow me access to the knowledge in the museum. 

Someone else you’re likely to meet is Viktor Czerny, he’s the primogen of clan Ventrue and the strongest contender to the big chair. he’s the head of a secret group of Camarilla zealots who think the current ruler should be replaced A.S.A.P. so as to restore “true camarilla order” or whatever that means. Now, don’t ask me what side I’ve chosen, ok? You know I ain’t telling you that.

I’d also recommend meeting with Kazimir, he’s another important member of your clan. He’s quite knowledgeable in kindred lore. He’s not a good friend of the prince, though.

Well, old friend. I must go now, there are some weird rumors I need to look into and you know information is golden.

Hope to share a drink with you soon enough,

Tobias.

I, Wertz Krachen

My name is Wertz Krachen, I'm a Duro. I have been talented with tools and mechanical things since I was young. My community (what humans call family) wanted me to become a Jedi, but no sooner did I get to the academy in Ossus than I was told that the force was not strong in me; thus they decided not to train me. This made me feel so frustrated because I was highly motivated and I did not wanted to let my community down, but when they learned about it, they could not accept the fact that I would not become a Jedi and they did not allow me to come back home.

Although I felt (I still feel) resentment towards the Jedi order, I decided to stay there, build a reputation and become the best hero the Duros have ever had in our history, but I have to do it in a different path: Mechanics and engineering. I tried to make myself useful in the academy hangars, at the beginning it was difficult because nobody trusted in my skills, but fortunately I met Bantha who gave me an opportunity to help him modify his spacecraft, I did my best and I impressed him in such a way that he took me in. Then I became Bantha’s apprentice, not only did he improve my mechanical and engineering skills, but also he trained me in basic combat techniques. Now it is just time to prove the Jedi order and my community wrong…

CHAD VADER

Chad Vader es una serie de comedia realizada por Blame Society Productions que se ha vuelto muy popular en YouTube, la cual cuenta la historia de Chad Vader, hermano menor de Darth Vader, que trabaja como gerente del turno de día en una tienda de conveniencia (algo así como un OXXO o un 7-Eleven) llamada Empire Market. Chad atiende a los clientes y organiza a los empleados de la tienda usando diálogos y conceptos de Star wars, y tiene ciertos poderes de la fuerza.

En la primera temporada, Chad Vader siendo el gerente de Empire Market tiene como misión conquistar el mercado de tiendas de conveniencia a lado del “comandante” y “aprendiz” Jeremy Wickstrom, quien idealiza y ve a Chad como a un gran líder. Sin embargo, esto no es muy fácil ya que Clint, el gerente del turno nocturno, quiere el puesto de Chad y se convierte es su némesis. Así, Clint logra convencer a Randy, gerente general de Empire Market, de enviar a Chad al turno nocturno y consigue volverse pretendiente de Clarissa, una cajera y con quien Chad quiere tener una relación algo más que laboral. Todo esto lleva a que Chad renuncié pero no logra mantener ninguno de los empleos que consigue, así que con consejos de Ben, un fantasma Jedi , consigue fuerza de voluntad y regresa a Empire Market a enfrentar a Clint y reclamar su puesto en esa base de operaciones.

Esta serie, ya trasmite capítulos de su segunda temporada donde Empire Market es absorbido por otra cadena de tiendas, Red Leader Food; la representante de esta compañía, Margaret McCall, se presenta a la tienda, pero parece que será la que traiga problemas a Chad en esta temporada. Aparte de estas dos temporadas, hay una serie de videos de entrenamiento para posibles empleados, en tales videos Chad muestra cómo usar ciertas “técnicas” para cualquiera que quiera trabajar para Empire Marketar y completar su “entrenamiento”.

Esta serie es muy hilarante y cualquiera que ha disfrutado las películas de la primera trilogía de Star wars (Episodios IV al VI) reirá de cómo se hacen parodias a los diálogos y situaciones del universo de George Lucas en una típica tienda de abarrotes de América.

I, Soron Larco

My name is Soron Larco, I'm a Togruta, I'm from Corvala, capital of Shili. When I was so young that my lekku (head-tails) were still very short and didn't have any montrals (horns) to show, my parents sent me to Ossus to become a Jedi. At a very early age I began to show the necessary traits to be considered a candidate for Jedi Training. My parents said it's what I'm meant to be, like my distant ancestor Jedi Master Shaak Ti (the most outstanding Togruta ever) . And I will not disappoint them. I haven't seen my parents since I left and I don't know if I'll ever see them again, but I do know they'll be proud when they hear about the great feats of Jedi Master Soron Larco, in a not too distant future.

Since I got to Ossus I've been training under Master Echuu Shen Jon. I've learned a lot about the force, the Jedi code and lightsaber combat along with my fellow apprentice, a wookie named Gorwuken. He's sort of short and plump for the standards of his race but he's very strong and good with the lightsaber. He's a good friend, almost a brother. I hope we will go on a real mission together with our master. I look forward to some real combat.
