Editing Character:Phillip MacKenzie (section)

== Character Description ==

There actually is kind of a specific background that goes with this particular character, but when I played him, he was pretty much based on Randall from ''Clerks''.  The idea came when I was chatting with a friend about what vampires really would do with eternity. When we played, vampires were constantly killing each other and embroiling each other in life-or-death schemes which made me wonder how, frankly, anyone could manage to hit the 1000-year mark. We came to the conclusion that the safest bet would just to take an out-of-the way job and stay away from things that actually kill you for good. The picture we came up with for a Brujah was closer to Randall, the philosopher-hockey player, then a revolutionary freedom fighter.

Amusingly enough, the stat that makes for good comebacks also helps boost reaction time and the stats that help play hockey (including checking) make for good combat stats. The way he's set up, he can argue philosophy, punch someone in the face, and makes a good all around starting character for a PC. Of course, he makes a more fun NPC since most players have better things to do then manage the night shift of a convienance store in a bad neighborhood.
