MEMBERS OF THE BLOODMOON FORCE (Name assigned by the Government. Most of the squad thinks it sounds stupid). - Silas – Clan Brujah – Second-in-Command: A hardened brawler who thrives on violence and chaos rather than politics. He mockingly refers to himself as an “anarchist of anarchists”—so devoted to rebellion that he refuses even the rules of other anarchists. Though over 330 years old, he maintains the appearance of a man in his early thirties (born in 1730). Sarcastic and quick-witted, Silas exudes a playful yet menacing demeanor, often masking his aggression behind cutting humor. When battle comes, however, his brutality is unleashed without restraint. - Bane: Violent Temper - Compulsion: Rebellion -

Background

Born an American colonist in the British-controlled territories, his upbringing forged a fiercely anti-colonial spirit and a lifelong defiance of authority. - Indira Sharma – Clan Gangrel – Recon: A free-spirited warrior who favors close combat and the primal strength of her animalistic disciplines. Though nearly 90 years old, she retains the youthful appearance of a woman in her early twenties (born in 1940). Indira carries the soul of a mystic wanderer: deeply attuned to nature, guided by astrology, and bonded to the wild creatures she sees as kin. Outside of combat, her demeanor is serene and almost ethereal—yet when the fight begins, her feral instincts consume her, revealing the beast beneath her calm exterior. - Bane: Bestial Features - Compulsion: Feral Impulses -

Background

Born in India under the British Raj, Indira grew up surrounded by Hindu spirituality, mysticism, and the stars, which still shape her worldview and her deep connection to the animal within. - “Squelch” – Clan Nosferatu – Operator: The unseen hand guiding the squad. Squelch never sets foot on the battlefield, yet his presence is constant through the crackle of the comms. He operates from the shadows via satellite feeds, drones, and hijacked surveillance systems, orchestrating strikes, coordinating evacuations, and feeding the team real-time intelligence. No one in the unit has ever seen him in person; he is only known by his distorted, nasal voice over the radio—equal parts unnerving and oddly reassuring. - Bane: Hideous deformity (conceals his appearance through complete physical absence). - Compulsion: Obsession with secrets—compulsively collects and hoards information, sometimes even at the expense of mission efficiency. -

Background

A relic of the digital underworld, Squelch thrives where others falter: behind screens, within networks, and in the silence of forgotten tunnels. His true face remains unknown, and perhaps that is for the best. - Franz Krüger – Clan Tremere – Field Support: Male, appears to be in his early twenties, though his true age is approximately 190. Franz serves as both arcane specialist and medic for the squad, blending blood sorcery with medical precision. His demeanor is reserved, scholarly, and perpetually serious, rarely allowing even a trace of levity to slip through. - Bane: Deficient Blood – requires additional vitae or ritual preparation to perform Thaumaturgy effectively. - Compulsion: Perfectionism – obsesses over flawless execution, often re-checking his work or questioning the adequacy of others. -

Background

Born within the German Empire in 1840, Franz was raised in a rigid, academic household that instilled in him an uncompromising pursuit of knowledge. The Great War and its aftermath revealed to him both the fragility of mortal existence and the allure of power beyond it. The Tremere offered him a path to mastery, and he has followed it with unwavering discipline ever since. - Gargoyle – Enforcer. A formidable and terrifyingly strong construct, created through Tremere bloodcraft and magically bound to its master. It possesses no consciousness or personality, functioning solely as an instrument of destruction and obedience, capable of executing commands with relentless precision. - Jared Lawson – Thin-Blood – Junior: Young and inexperienced, appearing no older than eighteen. Jared volunteered for service, eager to carve out an identity and prove his worth despite his diluted lineage. His role is primarily logistical, carrying additional ammunition, grenades, and essential supplies to keep the squad operating at peak efficiency. Quiet, insecure, and often pessimistic, he nonetheless demonstrates loyalty and a willingness to endure hardship for the sake of belonging. -

Background

Born in Los Angeles in 1990, Jared grew up amid fractured families and the harsh realities of urban decay. His Embrace left him with little of the power or prestige enjoyed by other Kindred, yet he saw the war as an opportunity: a chance to stand alongside true Kindred and prove that even the weakest blood can hold purpose in the darkest nights. - Baron René – Clan Samedi – Doctor of Death. Does not heal the living or wounded, but his necromantic mastery and corpse analysis make him indispensable for uncovering hidden truths from the dead. Actual age unknown; his putrid, decayed appearance makes determining his true age nearly impossible. Nationality: Haitian.

Personality

playful, morbidly curious, obsessed with death and decay, and a devoted practitioner of Vodou. - Bane: Painful Kiss – any blood he draws inflicts excruciating pain, reflecting the cursed nature of his lineage. - Compulsion: Morbidity – compelled to study, handle, and commune with the dead; neglecting this urge leads to distraction, unease, or decreased effectiveness in all other tasks. - you – Newest member. INVENTORY * M4A1 Carbine. (Primary weapon). * Hunting knife. (Tool and close-combat weapon). * SIG Sauer M17 pistol. (Secondary and emergency weapon). * Seven magazines for the M4A1. * Radio. * PDA. (Includes map and mission log). * Two incendiary grenades. BACKGROUND Who was Clara Sinclair before the Embrace? Born in London in 1890, at the height of the British Empire, she was the only daughter of an aristocratic family with close ties to the political and social elite of the time. Her childhood was luxurious: maids at her disposal, private education, and every comfort power could provide. However, Clara did not fit the “damsel” mold her family expected. While her contemporaries learned music and manners, she was fascinated by action. She excelled in fencing—surprising even male opponents—shone in target shooting, and enjoyed hunting, much to the dismay of her mother and aunts. Little did Clara know that these skills, criticized as unladylike, would prove crucial years later. In July 1914, the world changed. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand sparked tensions that erupted into open war. The United Kingdom entered the conflict in August, and for Clara, this was not a tragedy but an opportunity: to prove she was more than a decorative figure in a London mansion. Although women did not hold the same roles as men on the front, she joined the Secret Service Bureau, becoming a spy. Her social charm and verbal skills allowed her to extract secrets from diplomats and officers, and those reports always ended up on the desk of Colonel Alistair Cavendish. Cavendish saw more in Clara than just talent. He recognized determination, intelligence, and ambition: qualities valuable to him, and even more so to his Clan. The Colonel was no ordinary man. He was a Ventrue. And Clara was exactly the kind of spirit deserving of more than a fleeting human life. In April 1915, during a mission in France, Clara received encrypted orders for a private meeting in Paris. There, in the shadows of a hidden salon, she finally met the Colonel in person. His bearing was impeccable, his voice magnetic, his gaze impossible to resist. It was as if the entire room had been designed to frame him. Clara, with all her strength and rebelliousness, could not resist the pull of the man offering her the chance to transcend history itself. And that night, her destiny changed forever. Clara Sinclair, the young aristocrat who had defied her family and the world, died in Paris. What opened its eyes afterward was no longer a spy, nor a lady, nor even human. From that moment, Clara was something more: an immortal predator. A Ventrue.

Los Angeles, 2030. The city burns in a civil war threatening to consume the entire World of Darkness. The Masquerade, preserved for centuries, has been shattered by the brutality of the Sabbat. What for generations was a secret now bleeds openly before human eyes. The end seemed inevitable… until the Camarilla managed to weave desperate pacts with Washington. In exchange for their survival, several clans pledged loyalty to the United States government, swearing to eradicate the Sabbat and all those who shared their cursed lineage: Tzimisce, Lasombra, and anti-tribe individuals and traitors who joined their ranks. Each clan plays its role in this infernal war: * The Ventrue pull the strings of power from state offices and military headquarters, directing the war like feudal lords of a modern empire. * The Tremere hide behind laboratories and hospitals, draining Sabbat corpses in search of forbidden secrets disguised as science. * The Nosferatu dominate information: networks, sewers, and surveillance systems; the city breathes in rhythm with their silence. * The Gangrel lurk on the front lines, relentless hunters tearing enemies apart with bestial fury and senses sharper than any human radar. * Others, from Caitiff to Thin-Bloods, and even rebellious members of clans like the Brujah, have found in the war a place to make their mark… or perish. The Camarilla fights in the light of military spotlights, openly allied with the American government. But the Anarchs have not been erased: some remain on the sidelines, reluctant to take sides; others, led by figures like Nines Rodriguez, fiercely defend their territories, facing both the Sabbat and Camarilla forces. Beyond them, the Kuei Jin remain apart. They recognize no pacts with the West nor with the children of Cain. They guard temples and protect the Oriental communities of Chinatown, not out of kindness, but following an ancient code incomprehensible to outsiders. The Sabbat remains the primary enemy: desecrators of the Masquerade, heralds of the Apocalypse. Tzimisce, Lasombra, and other anti-tribe members lead hordes of monstrosities, seeking to drag all humanity into a future of twisted flesh and endless blood.
