By popular demand... the World of Darkness meme!


It's a Dark, Dark World.

Mostly old World of Darkness based, but if you like the New WoD, go for it!

The world is filled with cruelty, corruption, and despair. Lurking in the darkness... monsters. Of all kinds, origins, and forms. Creatures of evil and destruction, only marginally more familiar than the unknown terrors.

And now you're one of them.


This is a World of Darknessā„¢ inspired meme! Your character transforms into one of the following monstrous creatures listed below, and suffers the plight one faces as a result.

Since we like to play it fast and loose here at We the Lost, feel free to brainstorm what your characters would be, speculate how you'd interact with each other, and maybe even thread out a thing or two, if that's to your fancy!


1. Vampire: Whether you were Embraced by another Vampire in violence or in seduction, your transformation is powerful and traumatizing. Your body craves the blood, and the blood gives you eerie supernatural powers. Powers to control the mind, to enslave men, and the immortality to set any plans into motion you so deem... how do you spend eternity in your fight against boredom?
2. Werewolf: You lived for some time with no knowledge of your lineage, of the blood in your veins. A great power awakens in you, and in a moment of unfathomable anger you white out. And when you wake, you awaken to a shower of gore, your hands shrinking from giant clawed paws to what you recognize as fingers. Now there is that ever-present primal rage, simmering below the surface and urging you towards great and righteous battle against evils and against monstrous spirits...
3. Mage: Humans have long since been known to be wise and enlightened... but when your Avatar appears in your mind and your soul, you see the face of true enlightenment. You have the powers to shape and mold reality to be as you perceive it. Do you see the world as a canvas to paint upon? Do you see it as a weaving, with threads of fate that you can remove and displace? What is your reality, and how do you influence it?
4. Changeling: The world is dark, bleak, and worst of all it is simply banal. But deep inside was something hidden, that awakens from the dream. And now, with the powers of the Fae, you have the ability to inspire and combat banality with inspiration and imagination. But is the fight against the darkness and cruelty of the world a losing battle?
5. Hunter: With all of these monsters roaming the world, what is a human to do? They're powerless to protect themselves... or so it seems. You find yourself granted the power to see these monsters, to try and hold them in place and to be resourceful enough to destroy them. If you can manage the voices in your head or the madness of seeing the supernatural, be careful to not forget that you are just as painfully mortal as you were before...
6. Demon: At your lowest moment, when you lost yourself and your soul died, your body welcomed into it a new force. Deep inside nestled a new consciousness, which absorbed everything you were. You are now that Being, and that being is You. And You recall, faintly, a great war. You remember being an angel, a very being of creation, a very concept of reality such as the Breath of Life or the Illumination of Fire. And You remember what Hell was... it was not fire and brimstone. That would have been nice. It was a void of nothingness, where You could not even sense Yourself, since the fall of reality. And you have every reason to be resentful.
7. Other: Know how the Hengeyokai work? Want to be one of the Changing Breeds? Or maybe represent for Mummy, Wraith, Geist, Promethean, or another World of Darkness title? Do whatever you like! Have a blast!

So you know how Asch is a demon? So is Nemo. He's actually pretty good at it too, he's kept his cover going for decades. Long enough, in fact, to father a kid or two. (It probably helps that he makes sure his body ages in realtime.)

So old hippie guy who occasionally works with the Veiled and has probably brought his son with him when he visits. Gosh, what if Hkat and Murai were friends since they were tiny in this?

Hkat and Murai were so totally friends since they were bitty things in the Veiled creche together. Then when she was thirteen or so Murai got promoted to being an active Hunter and sent off on her first mission and came back kind of unhinged and probably ended up right back in day care with Hkat.

These days she's in better shape but she's still mostly just trusted with low-level surveillance of the various local supernatural beings who are so inept they probably couldn't go rogue enough to be a danger without falling down three flights of stairs, anyway. Hkat probably gets to hear more gossip than he really needs to about what that weird mixed-species werepack is up to.

Hahaha. Karkat was so totally jealous when she got promoted. It was NOT FAIR that she got to do that stuff just because she was a real Veiled and not a frequent visitor who ends up spending weeks at a time in the creche while his Dad helps out the grown-ups. (I dunno why Karkat ended up tagging along that first time when he was, like, three, but I do know that Nemo always brings him now because he knows that Karkat and Murai are just so fucking tight together and this way his son can have bff time with her.)

You know that Murai's probably returned the visits a few times if the adult Veiled will let her? Because Karkat DOES still live in the commune from >Connect with his sister and cousins and stuff when he's not tagging along with his dad. Maybe she went to chill there and hang out with Karkat's cousins while she was in recovery from the mission.

Oh, yeah, I'm sure that even with how secretive and "we are ancient conspiracy" the Veiled are, someone would recognize that headquarters is not the best place for a traumatized kid. A powerful ally's out of the way farm with other kids her age would be a great place to send her to recover.

Then someone had to explain to Nepeta to keep the play-screaming to a minimum while Karkat's weird friend is around because it gives her panic attacks.

It's okay! Around the time when Murai was finally better enough to go home, Karkat had to go back to the Veiled creche with her because he'd gotten caught up in a mess with a Genius from said fanline and Nemo figured that being anywhere near said Genius while he was in recovery was probably a bad idea. So congrats, Murai, your bff is now providing your back-up on Veiled missions while pining for Mad Science but that's nothing new.
