Known History

Kyle was embraced 4 years ago on 07/04/09. Selina thought it was amusing for Kyle's embrace date to be the US's independance date.

He obtained his acknowledgement under Selina's good graces, by the Brujah Prince Hendrick Kincaid of Amsterdam/Netherlands in 2011. (Free acknowledgement/Camarilla Coordinator)

Kyle always figured Life had a different side to it. Something that gave it enriched undertones and subtle hues of brilliance and contrast. The exaltation of that finding and the misery of the depth of hell it would bring me to, suffuses my life in a cacophony of highs, lows, and drunken inbetweens.

Who Kyle really is is often times a mystery even to himself. His embrace was a more exquisite torture than he had ever experienced. His human life just as strange as his Kindred life....

Following in historical family footsteps, Kyle Dwyn is a Kindred who enjoys the challenge of the night. (Roger Godberd was a medieval outlaw who has been suggested as a possible historical basis for the legend of Robin Hood.)

Social Circle

Nemesis

He calls himself the "King's Ace". Mostly to mock me, but also to create a suitable moniker for himself. In a way, it has drawn us together, as he is the brother I never had, and the enemy I wish I had never met. You see, he is someone I utterly respect, despise, and could not function without him in my life. One of my broodmates once asked me why I didn't just kill him previously, since I hate him so much. And I had to explain, within this life, it is so hard to find a decent rival to enjoy. Someone to plot against, move against, and generally have hostile feelings towards, all the while, remaining a gentleman... Why killing would be a disgrace. If either one of us killed the other, it would showcase the final victory of the deceased over the living. To resort to such a base act in order to eliminate a rival. The very idea goes against every concept of what it means to be an upright standing Thief! Oddly enough, we still meet occasionally to enjoy eachother's company. A game of Billards, Darts, or just a quiet night watching the flickering of flames in the hearth.

I hate him. I despise him. But should anyone kill him, I will utterly destroy them for murdering my friend.

Lineage

Mistress of the Night (Sire)

Selina Kyle
I'm not quite sure what clan Selina is from, or even if she has one. She remarked that she had grown past such failings as being defined by blood, and all other discussions on the topic end up in a tirade against the bias and prejudice against someone based on clan.

My Sire, Selina, was an Anarch. A bit of an extremist, but in a way, we are all in one way or another. I know she's got a beef with the Sabbat, something about her brother (blood or lineage, i'm not sure). I think he was taken in by them, and became a part of them, but she won't delve further into it for us. She's also got a beef with the Camarilla. Mostly because they're so static, it takes the end of the world to get them to do anything. She says the real monsters of her lineage though are the independants. She's okay with her kidlets joining the Camarilla, and just waits for us to realize our mistake. It's one of her belief's that while she may bail us out, it's a maturity factor to allow us to screw it up ourselves first.

One of the more interesting things is the commentaries that Selina gives regarding the various United States Domains and how they're turning bit by bit into an Anarchistic mindset. Across the US, look at how many Traditions are broken every couple of weeks by "Camarilla Loyal" minions. Look at how many Kindred (both young & old) die every year within the Camarilla. Why in the last ten years alone, she says, the Camarilla has lost somewhere between one and two thousand Kindred, alledgely "loyal" to the Camarilla.

The Camarilla isn't strong enough to be an enemy, she says, but is a weak & sickly animal that is dying and doesn't even know it. She really doesn't care if any of us kids join the Camarilla, as long as we don't drink the poisoned Koolaid.

Understanding the Camarilla

Traditions

1. The First Tradition: The Masquerade
   • This is the most important Tradition. I'm not exactly sure how "we" keep the Masquerade safe with all the tech floating about. But really, that's not my department. As long as I don't get caught, it's the Sheriff & Keeper's job to protect the Masquerade. Why anyone would want those jobs is beyond me. Seems overly stressful and more responsibility for little to no pay.
2. The Second Tradition: Domain
   • Okay. I get it. Daddy's House, Daddy's rules. The Prince is the Governor of the Domain. He sits in the big boy chair.
3. The Third Tradition: Progeny
   • Population control at it's finest. It's a little barbaric, but I guess it's like asking your supervisor for an exception or something.
4. The Fourth Tradition: Accounting
   • Apprentiship. It's an interesting bit. Don't know about that whole Supervisor get's punished for the mistakes of the childer. Isn't when you're a childer when you're supposed to make mistakes (if they're to be made in the first place)?
5. The Fifth Tradition: Hospitality
   • The "You are nothing" bit is a crock, but overall it makes sense. With all the weird stuff out there, best to be known rather than have the scourge find you.
6. The Sixth Tradition: Destruction
   • The Camarilla practices executions and socially acceptable murder. Got it. This is a creepy rule and gives me the chills.

Positions

1. Justicars & Archons
   • I won't have any dealings with them. If I do, just do whatever they say. Don't make eye contact. Don't say "no". Do not disagree with them. Do not anger them. Do not pass go, and do not collect $200. Justicar's are charged with the health & wellness of the Camarilla globally. And Archons are their investigative killers.
2. Prince
   • The Prince is the Top Dog of the area. He's not a president, or any other elected official. He's a military dictator. Basically, He can do whatever he wants, and it's legit, as long as he's still alive at the end of the night. He is Judge, Jury, and he can authorize the execution. Do not piss this person off.
3. Seneschal
   • This is the Prince's right hand person. They can be an assistant, diplomat, hired goon, and whatever else the Prince needs/wants. Typically, they're the Prince's most trusted ally. But keep your friends close, and your enemies closer can apply in this situation. Also, when the shit hits the fan, the Prince may use the Seneschal as an expendable pawn. They have the full power of the Prince when the Prince is not in the immediate area. So pretty much, their say goes.
   1. Secretary
      • Oddly enough, in the modern nights, just about every position has an "Assistant". The Seneschal's Secretary operates just like you think. Taking notes, acting as a gopher or driver. Pretty much the "extra set of hands" that the Seneschal needs. No power or authority, but a lot of responsibility. It's kinda like an internship. No pay, but it looks pretty on a resume.
4. Sheriff
   1. Deputy
5. Scourge
6. Primogen
   1. Whip
7. Harpy
   1. Lesser

Odds & Ends

Character Inspirations

François Toulour (Ocean's 12) Best known alias, “Night Fox”, Toulour is a French Baron and master thief, whose skills are rivaled only by Danny Ocean. The opposite of Ocean, Toulour specializes as a Cat Burglar; as such, his jobs are more physically demanding and seemingly carried out by him alone, whereas Ocean prefers using the 'Long Con' approach to slowly manipulate the situation to his favor.

Robin Hood (spelled Robyn Hode in older manuscripts) is a heroic outlaw in English folklore, a highly skilled archer and swordsman. He has become known for "robbing from the rich and giving to the poor". In the earliest sources, Robin Hood is a yeoman, but he was often later portrayed as an aristocrat wrongfully dispossessed of his lands and made into an outlaw by an unscrupulous sheriff.

Jack MacLean, titled the "Superthief" by cops & robbers, was known as a legend as so few knew anything about him. His life of crime made him so wealthy that when police caught up with him he owned a multi-million dollar mansion, a Hughes 300C Helicopter and a $40,000 speed-boat. MacLean is widely accepted as one of the most intelligent burglars ever to be arrested, with genius level IQ and an extremely vast knowledge of alarm systems and electronics in general.

Bill Mason is an infamous Jewel Thief. Mason’s heists were often extremely dangerous, as he reached high-rise apartments utilizing his climbing talent. During the night-time burglary at the apartment of Armand Hammer, he scaled a 15-story building during a storm. He would plan a burglary extremely carefully, researching any possible security system that could possibly thwart him, before finding ways to overcome them. Mason once stole an Olympic Gold Medal belonging to Johnny Weissmuller, though he mailed it back to Weissmuller months after the theft, because of the guilt of stealing something with such sentimental value.

Charles Peace is commonly cited as one of the most prolific cat-burglars in history. He broke into thousands of houses during his lifetime, and maintained his criminal activity throughout his natural life. He was born in Sheffield, England, in 1832, though he earned his infamous reputation for burglaries committed while living in London. Peace was also a violent individual and he committed various murders during his lifetime, and often attempted to kill police officers who took him into custody. He became a wanted fugitive after shooting a man in Sheffield following an argument. Eventually his travels brought him to London, where he committed his most skilled heists over the course of 2 years. During the day he was a well-dressed and respected violinist who performed at local concerts. By night he would burgle fancy houses while the owners were asleep. On one notable occasion, the owners woke up during a burglary and set their Bulldog on Peace, who responded by punching it in the face, killing the poor animal, before escaping.

Adam Worth (1844–January 8, 1902) was an American criminal. Scotland Yard detective Robert Anderson nicknamed him "the Napoleon of the criminal world", and he is commonly referred to as "the Napoleon of Crime."
