Wolff. I have mentioned Masq a few times, so I’ll bring out Wolff. No, not a werewolf. Straight up mortal. PD Detective. Not just a mortal but one that had zero understanding and believe in the supernatural. Dude gets up and flees after being shot? “Damn new PCP”. Dude gets blasted close range repeatedly, doesn’t bleed? “Check with the military about missing level IV body armor”. Just would not believe, so of course, as a result I was fortunate enough to be pulled into a lot of RP. Apparently folks liked the fact that I very much made no efforts to be ‘in the know’, and resisted as much as possible. The game at the time made it great to enjoy, I would encounter folks that could simply destroy me at a whim, and they’d purposely not do it (not that I had a clue) just so RP could be RP. I had mistakes, and I had triumphs. Mostly, I had fucking amazing RP with people there. It was mostly because of them that he was so fun to play.
Staff would mess with you (in the good way, mostly). Being dumb and walking through the warzone at night? Time to get shot at! Players also getting their licks in. The amount of times spent waking up in the hospital, and time spent RPing there due to injuries (But not being dead, yet!). Repeatedly having folks examine you for suspicion of being a ghoul, all while having NO CLUE. Always having some reason for not seeing what really happened, and often having a legitimate reason!
Car chases, drinking nights, deep cases, simple cases! Just so much fun to be had as a straight up mortal cop oblivious to what was TRULY wrong with the city.
Hell it took him being embraced (as a present to someone) to make him see, and even then he was laughing “Right. I’m a vampire, uh huh.” Just complete denial, it took several scenes to finally convince him wtf was going on. The change in his mindset, and gradual shift in mannerisms was fun and challenging, but I’ll always miss him being the mortal.
