Lenore / Lawrence

Toreador 12th gen

Music is everything. It is in the beat of a heart's life blood, the rustle of the leaves in the trees, the patter of rain on the footpath and the distant hum of traffic. You can feel music surging through your veins, compelling you to speak it with your cello. Being kindred gives you so much greater awareness of the subtleties of the notes, the ability to play ever so much faster and more complex harmonies, to weave a far more magnificent tapestry of sound. Recently you met Taylor, a composer with a talent like none you've ever found before in a mortal. You just know he'd be an absolute genius if only he could feel the music the way that you can with your heightened senses. Together his music and your cello would be heavenly. But in order to embrace him you must first obtain permission from your elders and Alfonse Marchetti, the city's current Prince.

In the last few days you can no longer hear the music as well as you could and it disturbs you deeply. It has added an urgency to your quest for permission so that Taylor can help you feel again. You are not the only one to lose their powers and the elders have all gone into hiding so you may never get the chance to ask. You want your powers back and the elders back and if you are the one to fix things they will be indebted to you. You will be sure to get your wish.

People you know:

Jo
A talented artist who chooses to express themself through the medium of graffiti. A rather unorthodox medium but still they do have talent and the city needs more random beauty.
Valentine/Valentina
A poet among the toreador who would have been far more at home in 14th century Paris with a bottle of absinthe than here in these times. Very intense.
Gerald/Geraldine
In theory - the voice of the Prince. In practice - a rubberstamp for Rochman's decisions, and a figurehead. Don't offend them.
Rochman
It's Rochman you have to impress in this crisis if you want to get your change to Embrace Taylor.
