Actually that does raise a point. If a character dies can they be resurrected?

Depends on the resurrection.

Like say Character A is a vampire.  They drain Character B to death and freak the fuck out.  So they turn character B. 

Like full on Buffy resurrection?

Well, there should be consequences.
Wait, so does this mean I can have Jack 'Embrace' other characters if he feeds on them?

Well, hopefully it will be done as a mutual agreement between the two players.

The Embrace isn't voluntary in most cases though. It's as much an act of remorse as of reproduction - because you're sharing the fate of the Damned with people. And that's either a salvation or the worst punishment possible depending on the individual kindred. It's also something that if you're human, can't be resisted. The power of the Vitae overcomes all barriers. That's the nature of the cursed.

There's also no cure except the mythical Gehenna. It's why you get so many adherents to the Crone and Lancea, because the vampiric condition is a horrible horrible thing to endure without an end goal for many.

That, or you can just say bugger all, join the Invictus, and start amassing power, wealth, and followers with the intention of living forever.

Which is highly unlikely, but hey! No one ever said all Kindred were a realistic sort.
[13:38:37] Helligator: Depends on the god, but gods by definition in Nasuverse are strong because they have divine authority.
[13:38:48] Kat: Even the toilet god?
[13:38:56] Helligator: No one worships toilets.
[13:39:00] Helligator: Don't be a shitlord.

[04:32:08] Helligator: I can't make dragons in power armor like this

[19:50:12] francobull III: [...] why are you being all assive aggressive?

[23:32:37] Helligator: use the narrative as a means to convey an interesting story and cool conflicts with the openness you're allowed
[23:32:43] Helligator: not to CHEAT stories and conflicts

And then there's the Cartheans, who want to be perfect communists and shit. It's kinda weird.

I think she meant an agreement between players, not characters.

To Kaiza: I sent Grea to attack you while I hide in the back to support, just waiting on his support for the moment.
OK, can you give me some more details about Grea? Abilities, appearance, whatnot. Also, would Grea count as an NPC? If so, do I control Grea for the fight, or...?

He means Mord. One of his characters is under Downy's thrall.

I don't mind. It's been too long since something exploded.
