Weird War 2

[SageGenesis]

The year is 1949. The war is still ongoing, though in some parts of the world it rages fiercely and in others it's smoldering like an early version of the Cold War.

This is an alt-history world where the arcane is real. Nazi Germany's Thule Society has unearthed terrible powers which they use to assist the military. Dead soldiers rise once more to wage war upon the living. Sorcerers can walk through fire, split a tree with bare hands, or call upon dark spirits to spy on their enemies. That kind of thing.

Fortunately the allies have some resources of their own.

In particular, the United Kingdom has a secret society which has spent the past few centuries hunting down, capturing, and studying monsters. An important branch of this society is housed in Westenra Park, an old manor where vampires are held, tamed, and in essence rebuilt, through complex mystical means.

The war threatens to consume us all. Neutral nations are on the verge of choosing sides. There are spies, secret weapons projects, dreadfully evil rituals, devastating raids, defecting officers, and a lot more. More than England can handle on her own. So Westenra Park opened the cages and let loose some of the most dangerous agents the war has seen yet...

Jack Thompson
Born in 1910, he is a younger vamp from merica that hates the Nazis cause they're not from merica and cause they stifle individual freedom and thought and parties. in general he loves all the ingenious human creatures and their inventions, particular guns and the generic promise of technology to one day be able to cloud the sky in ash and darkness. He is more the guns and bats kinda guy.

His vampiric nature enhanched his reflexes and speed well beyond the human limit. His american bravado combined with an overconfidence in his own immortality will keep him cool under fire and in the fight when he really should be running.

He thinks himself to be a true Patriot and believes he volunteered for the war.

Experiment no. 12

He was found in France, in the aftermath of the Franco – Prussian war.
A broken child, taken in by the company to be trained to become the perfect assassin.
But humans grow older, weaker, slower.
The company decided to transform their child prodigy, so that he would only become faster, stronger and more deadly with the years.
Due to his upbringing, he's not the most socially apt vamp out there. But he is efficient when it comes to his orders.

[SageGenesis]

Interesting. Do you imagine "the company" to be the same organization that is currently based in Westenra Park, utilizing vampires and other black magics for king and country? If not, how did you get from one group to the other? Bought? Stolen? Loaned? Defected?

[MaszaH]

Same.

Het zit jullie ook niet mee he. hugs!

Wat Maszah zegt...
Sterkte!

[SageGenesis]

Good news and bad news. Or something.

The dog is still alive, the vet manage to conjure up some last-minute treatment idea. But that's something to try, there's no guarantee that he'll have a long life now. It could just be postponing the whole thing.

Still a lot of stress from the emotional roller coaster ride, plus some people to meet tomorrow, so I think I still won't have time/headspace to prep a nice session. Uh, maybe boardgames? Something fun to do as a group that I don't have to get ready beforehand?

[scroipt]

Boardgames sounds fun

[wolfy]

I wish you good luck with the last-minute treatment. Hopefully it will pan out.

For this evening, having a relaxing evening at home sounds like what I need instead of another group activity My apologies, but I will not join you this evening.

[MaszaH]

Same here. Pretty f'd up day today. With an empty phone. So I'm staying in.

[MaszaH]

Heads ip, vandaag al ziek naar huis gegaan vanuit werk. Sowieso running on fumes, dus ik ben er niet bij.

[SageGenesis]

Beterschap!
