Nicholas Chang
Toreador (antih.ibu by Embrace, but politically neutral) · Gen 12
In the nights of rampant Sabbat presence inNew YorkCity, somecainites chose who they wantedfor the Embrace and asked questions later. Nicholas’ sire chose him out of boredom and because she thought his lifestyle would be a pleasant diversion. Soon after his Embrace, Nicholas’s sire in turn grew bored with him and left him to his own devices. He chose not to follow his pack, instead keeping the company of the mortal racers with whom he had more in common than the debauched Sabbat. Until his Embrace, Nicholas had been a warehouse worker, loading and unloading trucks for a food service company. He lived at home and devoted his paychecks to modifying his Honda Civic with Jackson Racing aftermarket parts. After his Embrace, the only things that have changed are his diet, his car and his occupation. Nicholas now runs an after-hours garage at the edge of Brooklyn that specializes in Hondas. He drives an Acura Integra Type R. Like most of the Midnighters, Nicholas loves to race, and he has since he was 13 years old. He is the nominal leader of the Midnighters Kindred, but only because the others are younger and look to his experience. Nicholas has dealt with other Kindred before at one point he even ran tainted Setite blood across all five boroughs for the Ventrue (without meeting his true employers, of course) and carried the last surviving member of the Five Dragons pack of Sabbat to a hidden haven. As a whole, he finds the Kindred interesting as individuals but doesn’t have much use for their politics. He’s worried that in the NEW YORK BY NIM 92 nights to come, he’ll have to choose one side over the other. This doesn’t bother him as a matter of politics, because he knows several Kindred who claim their “allegiances” and do what they would have anyway, but he’s afraid that certain things will be expected of him that will take him away from his passion for racing. For the time being, Nicholas makes his money from the garage and for working “no questions asked” for Kindred who have courier duties they need undertaken anonymously.
Roleplaying
You thrive on excitement and on the making of the deal. The race is every bit as important as the prize. Whether you’re racing for cash, pills or title for title, you have a sense of how it’s going to go down, and that analytical outlook carries over into other dealings with people. The change in the Cainite political climate of the city doesn’t mean that much to you but it can. You’ve got no qualms about throwing in with this new organization so long as it’s worth the time. For you, it’s driving, but everyone has something they do well. Now that all these new Kindred are coming to town and they’re not foaming-at-the-mouth religious freaks like those Sabbat, it’s good to have a chance to see what these others can do besides make threats. You’re not completely averse to this Camarilla situation, but it’s going to have to be worth your while. Otherwise, what’s the point? You do fine as it is and are looking to the Camarilla to help you be more comfortable, otherwise you’re not interested.
