@Arkandel That would be an awesome relationship. Especially for vampires, who literally CAN nurse grudges into eternity.
I always wanted a Professor X/Magneto relationship - where two people who were very close personally had been split by ideology, and were each passionately committed to destroying the works of the other...all the time hoping that "winning" would make the other person realize that they were Right All Along and they could be besties again.
Dibs on the Ordo Dracul vs. your ... honestly, the Order can be an ideological enemy to just about any other Covenant. >.>
But they're all vampires. And vampires are terrible. 
So picky.
I'm a picky bitch, it's true! I just never got into the appeal of playing Vampire. At least, as it seems to be played on MU*s. I can see the appeal of the scrappy, newly-dead trying to maintain sanity in the face of an eternity spent playing meaningless political games with corpses that literally have nothing better to do with their lives.
I have never been able to understand the appeal of playing the corpses that literally have nothing better to do with their lives than meaningless political games, and...that's the game.
All right. Mage then? [ducks]
Only if I get to throw some goddamned fireballs.
Changeling, then. I woudln't want Paradox to outshine me as your nemesis.
Hell yeah. Changeling crazy is the best crazy, and I get to throw goddamned fireballs.
You probably would have liked my first changeling on The Reach.
Probably! I stayed faaaaar away from that sphere during my brief time on the Reach, though. Seemed like too many people were going into it with the intent to reenact OOC grudges from previous games.
Yeah. That was a thing. I was ... sort of removed from it, but in the middle. Because reasons. >.>
There are always reasons. REASONS.
Ahem. Back to the more general topic. Another type of scene I'd love to see more often is referred to, in TV Tropes parlance, as the "wham episode". Something that significantly shakes up the status quo or the assumptions, and then everyone has to move forward from there. I love plot twists. I want more plot twists, and Grand Reveals.
I love these. One of my favorite characters on The Reach (and his whole family) was secretly a dreaded cultist. His closest-thing-to-a-girlfriend and one of his best friends were both Ferals (which on TR were basically the world's response to Things That Must Not Be). He literally spent most of his time with the enemy. He loved them. He really did. He cherished them, loved them, slept with them, helped them, rescued them, was rescued by them, and in general acted and behaved like you would expect a nice guy with a bit of a violent streak but clear delineations regarding who he was violent to and with would.
But behind that facade, he was a baby-killing, infant-eating, human-sacrificing, Outer Thing-worshipping cultist.
I never got to play it out...
But I really, really wanted to eventually have it come out and have his friends--his loved ones outside his family--turn on him. Because he betrayed them. He constantly and consistently betrayed their existence and entire reason for being. And they should have wanted him dead, buried, gone.
But he was a Sin-Eater and they are notoriously difficult to put down and I would ahve loved to roleplay that--to roleplay the heinous, brutal shake up of that revelation and the subsequent small war that would have errupted, because believe me: he loved them--but he would have murdered them for his Lord in a heart beat...
... or would he?
And that would have been the best part!
