Real Name:

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 her appointment to Seneschal, but she still almost always sports her trademark red leather jacket with a gold metal owl pendant hanging from one shoulder. 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.

Known History
Mortal History: Madison is a childe of the modern nights. She had a typical upper-middle class American upbringing and studied Political Science at Lehigh University. Rather than chasing a 9-5 career in the field, however, she dropped out, couch surfed for a while with various underground bands and traveled around the country. Eventually she decided to go to bartending school and lived it up in the nightlife scene. Her charisma and connections caught her future Sire's eye, along with an intense, if yet unharnessed and undirected, passion.
Introduction to Kindred Society (Spring 2013): During her Accounting and the year following her Acknowledgement, Madison was quietly running her own establishment in Allentown. Her flair talent and expanding network of mortal contacts earned her some small amount of personal fame. She made an appearance at the Glitter and Gloom event of 2013, where she started networking. New enough to have missed most of the Year of Fire, Madison found herself in the aftermath of events she didn't really understand. Locally, she emerged in a domain that had a complicated history and reputation - and a distinct lack of Brujah. There was also an alarming lack of city officers or Camarilla structure. Madison began working with local neonates and ancillae to restore a stable Camarilla court. Energetic, passionate and idealistic, Madison was ready to make a name for herself.
Early Political Career (Summer 2013): Madison jumped into the fray of Lehigh Valley mayhem with both feet. Her first big fight was against some sort of evil mage who was wielding maddening magicks and attempting to summon mythological monsters. She used her network of connections to gather intelligence behind the scenes before helping to eliminate the threat. For her actions, Prince Kelly named her *Connected and publicly thanked Clan Brujah for her. Madison aided in the aftermath, hunting down all manner of creatures including (rumored) her own doppelganger. Prince Kelly recognized her again as *Loyal and named her Sheriff of the Lehigh Valley. In the first month of her tenure as Sheriff, Madison conducted an investigation that implicated several Tremere in horrific crimes related to these early battles. Angrier, colder and more ruthless, Madison relentlessly fulfilled her new duties.
Picking Up Speed (Fall 2013): Madison was seen traveling quite a bit. She was present the night Eddie Dervish was destroyed in DC, and then again when Prince Cross claimed Praxis following Prince Greggor's destruction. She also attended Nonclave, where Prince Mattias named her *Passionate for her assistance with an investigation during the festivities. Not long after, she answered Prince Tatiyana "Anya" Pyotrevna's call for assistance against the Sabbat in Hartford. Anya named her *Brave for her role in leading one of the strike teams against a blood feast. She also visited the Northeast gathering, where she received a suspicious delivery of a dozen roses before co-leading a team against a lupine threat - in a burning building - in heels. Soon after she helped host her home domain's annual Tourney, where she was seen arguing with the "resurrected" Lucien Rex and investigating suspicious apparitions plaguing many of the guests. When Prince Simon "Slash" Ashe asked for assistance against the Sabbat in Cleveland, she answered immediately and literally brought the roof down upon their enemies. By that point, the constant immersion in violence, especially for one so young, had taken an undeniable toll.
For the Duration (Winter 2013-14): Prince Ashe lost his Praxis and was killed. Prince Anya lost her Praxis and is missing. At home in The Lehigh Valley, Madison faced disappearing Elders, Masquerade breaches, holy hunters, continued apparitions of Lucien Rex, and most concerning: mounting evidence of a Sabbat incursion. She traveled less, but kept in touch with regional allies. She also maintained ties with her Clan that culminated in an impromptu Rant hosted at her bar, attended by mostly "the next generation" of Brujah who were sick of watching their Elders get killed off. During another period of local political upheaval, Prince Kelly promoted Madison to the position of Seneshal. Around this time, The Lehigh Valley saw a surge of Brujah residents, most of whom quickly maneuvered into Officer positions. Having pulled herself back from the brink of wassail, it remains to be seen how Madison will adapt to her new role...

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?" - Madison's first Clan meeting
- "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." - advice to a fellow neonate
- "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." - reflections on other things that go bump in the night
- "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. Give me evil mages and elder gods and demon cats and all the rest - sure, okay. But give me one angry, lost, lonely kid who just doesn't want to do it anymore...DAMNIT! The world shouldn't be so fucked up that good people just lay down and die! So, I guess I'm going to keep fighting, because what the fuck else am I going to do?" - grieving for a fellow neonate who ended his own unlife
- "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." - when asked about her religious beliefs
- Rook: "You are one bad night away from that Final Frenzy, Madison." - Madison: "They are ALL bad nights, Your Grace." - on Humanity
- Deputy: "Sheriff Langley, perhaps we can subdue her without knocking her out? I mean she's pregnant." - Madison: "Bro, her face ain't pregnant!" - A typical night at work
- "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. Brujah who step up are getting picked off, and a lot of us in here are their proteges and childer and allies. We're not going to stand for it anymore." - Madison hosts a rant
- "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." - Madison arguing with an ally
- "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." - John Q. Public
- "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." - Eddie Dervish
- "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." - Giovanni con man, upon meeting Madison
- "Who's that? She is...forceful." - Visiting dignitary to the Prince, five minutes after observing Madison
- "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." - boot squad member
- "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. So there's that. I mean really, what did you expect to happen?" - Jayden Black to the local Anarchs
- "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." - Cleveland 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." - Slash
- "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." - Anya
