In order to make sure all characters have an easy hook into the plot of the game and the themes we want to run, Anarch character applications should pick one of the following backstory aspects. If you do not like any of these aspects, you can collaborate with staff to write your own hook into the story, but we will need you to have a direct "in" to be approved:

  • Lopez Imports: Your Occult interests have landed you in Baron Lopez's international imports company, and in your nightly grind you sometimes see the 'sensitive' goods -- bodies and baubles alike. Whether as an actual employee, a courier, or security detail to protect its 'interests', your history of operating on a need-to-know basis has led you to believe the breadcrumbs wind inevitably to House Carna. Of course, it's not like those renunciates are going to come out of hiding for your curiosity's sake. Maybe you're here for the pay, maybe you're here to leverage something out of whatever scandal has to be buried in the occult connections Lopez makes with his clientele. Either way, you're well-positioned for the night that some unique cargo gets "lost."
  • Hired Gun: Lopez brought you here to rip and tear until it's fucking done. Your role as a mercenary within Lopez's barony has tied you in with either the Hells Angels MC, the Mexican Mafia or both. Your contracts to move goods and bust heads sometimes pairs you with the likes of MS-13 and the Sureños, leading you to inherit their rivals (the Norteños, BGF and MOD and among them). Although those of your own anarch gang are usually the only vampires on the block during your night-to-night, the Anarchy's allegiance with the Mafia will occasionally open up work with the Sabbat-infiltrated Sinaloas. Makes some contracts into some lucrative-ass adventures. Play your cards right.
  • New Rich: You're the fucker who bankrolls the fighters. The Camarilla lords over us with its 'intergenerational' wealth and network of undeserved friends in high places. Meanwhile our ranks aren't exactly as privileged as the ivory tower, you feel me? So you're changing that. Whether the money's clean or the money's cleaned, there's millions to be mined out of San Francisco real estate and all that tech funding spewed at the startups. You've thrown your lot in with Kyle Cooper's tech and real estate investments, a partner (in crime or on paper) of Architect Securities.
