Finally giving V20 a gander. Thankfully, it doesn't seem like there's too much here that what I have doesn't touch upon, apart from rule tweaks, more Natures/Demeanors, and some new Backgrounds(Black Hand Membership[NO], Rituals, Domain, Alternate Identity), none of which I see as being too crucial.
The Ability list in V20 is slightly different, the only importanat one that jumped out at me was that they got rid if the dodge talent and use the athletics talent for dodging rolls in combat.
The bigger thing I didn't notice before is that in V20 char creation, you get 7/5/3 dots for attributes and 13/9/5 dots for abilities.

Sounds like they took a page from NWoD's book there, like with most of the mechanics(for the better). Probably wouldn't need to homebrew it if I owned that. Oh well, close enough.
Going to do the number crunching, so if you need to make any changes now, feel free. I aspire to have an IC thread up soon, possibly tonight, but no rush on that until your character goes into play.

I might change my name, it had slipped my mind what Fencingsax's avatar was when I came up with it.
If you want to do anything specific with my mentor feel free, if not I should be able to come up with something in the next few hours.
Otherwise, if everything else looks legit,
Geth roll 1d10+2 for Blood Pool
Blood Pool:
1d10+27 [1d10=5]

A rebellious son of a New York real estate mogul, Deke Braithwaite smashed the glass walls of polite society with his silver spoon before he caught the eye of his Sire. Or maybe the legendary parties he threw are what caught the eye of Magdalena. Nobody really pretends to know what drives the flighty Toreador, but she Embraced Deke shortly after his 23rd birthday. Deke, a freshly minted architect with his New York state license in hand had been of a mind to settle in to his father's firm and work on the design part of the business, while his brother Thurmond managed the acquisition part. Magdalena declared this 'boring' and re-designated Deke 'boring' and lost most of her interest in him shortly after the Embrace. Magdalena, however, dragged him into the world of Elysium and its constant political squabbling, endless pissing contests, and fabulous parties. An environment Deke could thrive in, maybe, if he recovered his old spirit.

I will note that Domain does make a huge impact. Each point of Domain decreases the difficulty of a hunting roll (to a minimum of 3); so a vampire like Deke who isn't well-suited to hunting can let his Domain do the work for him. It seems small, but it makes replenishing blood pool substantially easier.

Since every character seems to have one, if anyone wants to make a change to include that background(or a reasonable one from V20), they're more than welcome to.
If so, I'll switch out a point in resources for another point in Fame since my blood pool is so low (thanks again Geth)

I have a leftover point, so I guess I'll put it in Domain. Worth noting v20 lets you put points in both domain size and security (keeping other folk off your turf).
One point is basically a house, so in universe I guess it would be about luring a victim in?

That's true, but I kind of hinted at that with Mentor 2 and Protégé. Kind of feels like I'm taking the cheap way out if I don't take the extra challenge.
That said, I'd hate to torpedo everyone else because of it, so I'll just flip my resource 1 to a domain 1

Oh is that what domain is? I think I might need to change as well, I'll also take 1 from resource

Sorry for the long intro post. Just felt like the opening scene explain your character thing, the rest will be shorter.
Just thinking, we don't have any clear appearance stuff in our bios do we? At least, I don't. I'm going to write a little section up to draw a picture (and also have other words to use when describing the character instead of just his name over and over)

I do like the dodge change though, it's an oddly specific skill.
If you like I can post the ability list. Like I said, it's like 85% the same.

I'm not really into the print on demand model yet, though. I should probably also get over that.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
Six submissions, and so: six players. Three need to make blood rolls, unless I missed them.
Grunt's Ghosts, Lizzy Hell (Malkavian) - 8 Blood (Starting)

Fencingsax, Maxwell Smart (Toreador) - 9 Blood (Starting)
Boozer, Bobby 'Bulldog' Lenko (Brujah) - 12 Blood (Starting)
Maclay, Mickey 'Mouse' McGlynn (Malkavian) - 7 Blood (Starting)

His sire's backstory seems a little vague, unless that's deliberate. Also, what is his second language?

Well, it's partly to avoid any risk of confusion, but also because I'm not actually as obsessed with the letter M as it suggests: whose avatar is Madrox, the Multiple Man with the letter M tattooed on his face...
Anyway, if there are no objections let's try:
Danny Whelan
A nice normal name that won't draw any undue attention.

Being famous city-wide in NYC presents its own problems, though.
a bunch of new Childe to play with.
What fun this will be!
Also, holy god that angelfire page for merits/flaws. I remember using that years years years ago.

I'm going to do a check to see if Lizzy has heard of the Pyramids, being a musical person.

I have no idea who this is, but I think this works as probably the closest to what I have Alex looking like in my head (sans stubble)
