Overview

At her bar 2013

Alias(es):
 Janet

Real Name: Yeah, Right

Apparent Age: Late twenties

Concept: Flair Bartender with Hookups; Camarilla Idealist

Physical description: Madison stands just above five feet tall, with a small but wiry frame. Her mid-length dark hair is usually pulled back into a loose ponytail, and on her own time she typically dresses in tight, revealing tops, fitted jeans, and black steel-toed boots. She dresses more formally at gatherings since taking the throne, but she still almost always sports her trademark red leather jacket with a gold metal owl pendant hanging from one shoulder. She often ties several bandannas around her left ankle. She's rarely seen without earbuds in. When she smiles it's more of a smirk that rarely touches her intense and somewhat haunted blue eyes. Her pale skin and cold demeanor suggest that her beast is close to the surface.

Quotes

By Madison:

  • "Yeah, so we're in a steaming pile of political shit. I get that. All I'm saying is how about we walk out of here with a plan once we're done bitching about it?"
  • "Look. Our sires chose us for their own reasons. If we live up to our potential then we honor the ones who gave us the gift. If we do it in our own way, on our own terms and by our own merits, maybe it'll even mean something."
  • "All anybody can tell me is that I'll get used to it. I don't WANT to get used to it. This shit SHOULD piss me off. If it's out there then I'm glad I know about it and of COURSE I'm going to fight it - but that doesn't mean I have to, or even should, accept it."
  • "They tell you not everybody survives the Accounting. That not everybody is strong enough, not everybody is cut out for this. The ones who get bit and then don't make the cut are cautionary tales at best. DAMNIT! The world shouldn't be so fucked up that good people just lay down and die!"
  • "What higher power do I place my faith in, to get me through the night? Well, I have faith that I make a mean Long Island Iced Tea."
  • "You don't measure someone's worth by how long they exist, when all they do is sit on Elysium while BETTER people go out and die for them."
  • Deputy: "Sheriff Langley, perhaps we can subdue her without knocking her out? I mean she's pregnant." - Madison: "Bro, her face ain't pregnant!"
  • "We've been grieving. And plotting. And venting. And scheming. And debating. And arguing. And asking questions that may or may not have answers we can find. And it's been loud and messy, but for what it's worth, it's been damned encouraging. So no, I don't think we'll be shutting up any time soon."
  • "When you tell me you care about something, that you're going to take a stand with me, you don't fucking bail as soon as things get hard. What do I want from you? I want you to back up your words with actions. That's what I expect from people I respect."
  • "In a perfect world, every Kindred who puts the stability of this domain over their personal agenda would be my ally. This isn't a perfect world, this domain is dangerous, and we are selfish creatures. So you tell me - where does that leave us?"
  • "I gender identify as Brujah."
  • "Remember how I said in this domain you learn or die? Welcome to the deep end, kid. Sink or swim. If you need anything, just survive long enough to ask."
  • "How have I made it this far in only a year? I look around for the Kindred I fought beside when we were all just getting started, and then I remember - I'm the one that didn't die."
  • "We can be humane without being human. Tolerance is not a foregone conclusion in our society, and we need to approach this situation with the caution of Kindred, not the modern democratic notion of freedom. We are discussing our very blood, not gay rights."
  • Archon: "What is it you want most in unlife?" - Madison: "To maintain the stability of the Camarilla." - Archon: "That's a political goal. What do you want personally?" - Madison: "I have just answered that question."
  • "In your grief and your rage, you lost track of time while the world moved on. You wear your jaded ennui like a badge of honor. Hypocrite."
  • "Ultimately it does not matter whether you find a wizard behind the curtain. We play a Masquerade for a reason: it works. And when it doesn't, removing one's mask to better view the immediate problem only further damages the game in the long run. And the long run is worth it, for we are, after all, undying."
  • "Yeah. Okay."


About Madison:

  • "I think you're trying to be a good person. I also think you're in over your head, and so you're forgetting that lately. In the meantime, though, keep yelling - it actually helps me think more clearly."
  • "In a way, my suspicions about you are like a compliment. You're pretty much the perfect Brujah. It's too good to be true."
  • "I know we just met and all, and I get that I'm pissing you off...but I just can't shake this vibe like you've dealt with worse tonight. This week. This month. So, I guess you don't have time for my bull shit, then."
  • "Who's that? She is...forceful."
  • "Did you just select who's coming on this mission based on which of us are morally capable of killing in cold blood? I - I think I just fell in love with you."
  • "So, you guys committed a faux pas in her bar. And maybe it could've been handled better, but, well...she's a Brujah. And a Langley. I mean really, what did you expect to happen?"
  • "Watching Madison literally bring the roof down on our enemies while giving them a boot stomp in perfect timing to the well laid out plans of Slash as you all came in from the air like the 101st Airborne Division, the SWAT like team from the rear quietly surrounding the exits and the BAMF Group charging in literally on fire as we drove through the front door, without a life on our side lost, should be the new mental definition of Brujah."
  • "No. FUCK that. I have seen too many neonates thrown into the meat grinder by their Elders in the name of duty. I'm not going to let that happen to you."
  • "I am proud. I see much in you, and know that you are going to be a great leader of our Clan someday....what I really see, and what I really want to continue to see, is the future of our Clan."
  • "Madison's attempt to find a balance has her walking a tightrope that she technically didn't have to walk in an attempt to find a more reasonable and honorable way of approaching a unique and ill-defined situaiton...It's good to have standards, but where there aren't codified rules or traditions -- little 't' of course in this case -- we get to blaze a trail. Or at the least, Madison does."
  • "It is fitting for a Prince who isn't a Prince but not a Seneschal either. Who has ruling over her domain but has another above. A good balance. I wish you can manage to inspire others by your example and bring consistency to the hegemony."
  • Justicar Art Morgan upon seeing Madison's formal body language in his presence: "You know you can relax, right?" - Everyone else in the room, immediately: "No she can't. And if she could she wouldn't."
  • "I am impressed with your grit and admire your capabilities of seeing things in a clear light. Not that other Brujah don't, but you've shown a lot of growth over the past couple of years and should be incredibly impressed with yourself. I don't want to see anything bad happen to you."
  • "What she said."
  • "You're no fun." - Archon Malcolm Durrett
  • "Ah, Madison. The audacity of youth combined with the zeal of a missionary. You amuse and amaze me at every turn....I hope you keep that passion and near unique ability to focus it on things that actually can make a difference. I truly do. It must be hard."
  • "You are the only reason I feel safe in your Domain. You are the reason I stay."
  • "You are the reason I am once again loyal to the Camarilla. You reminded me of what it can be. Thank you."
  • "This Domain has never been stronger or more together than it has been under your leadership. And its citizens have never feared for their safety with you present."
