I agree about Rogan, but it's pretty darn close otherwise. Some of the characters were really, really spot on.
At first I was like "Al doesn't look so casual." Then I was like, wait a second, that's exactly how she'd look if she was though. Henry and Hayden were both great. The Quenton picture was even better than I imagined in my head. Cassidy's ghouls made me smile. I actually watched some Burn Notice for awhile (before I move out of country), and yes, that's a good picture for the mystery ghoul.

Unfortunately, deviantart is pretty stingy when it comes to quality pictures of menfolk. Usually the rule is Male/Well-Drawn/Wearing a Shirt [choose two], which for some folks isn't a problem, but for others...
Rogan was a problem because it's very hard to search for, let alone find, good pictures of minorities sometimes. (The word "Black" produced a lot of emo stuff and African produced a lot of badly drawn stuff). I agree with you guys about Rogan. Hopefully this picture of Samuel L Motha****in' Jackson I just found will fit the bill better. (And failing that, Samuel L Motha****in' Jackson!)
Spoiler
And yeah, suit/aviators/stubble is a HARD combo to find. I was about to go with a suitless dude before I thought to look for Mike Westen.
I'll give Cassidy Victor's picture, but I have no idea what Victor looks like, aside from being kinda big (and smelling like piss and sawdust).
Edit: Switched the two of them as a stop-gap measure.
Very nice, I added in the two fully dead kindred, left the pictures out as I am not great at finding appropriate ones.
Initially, I figured that it'd be better to leave the dead off, since, yanno, it's not like they're going to be walking onto the scene any time soon. But then again again, I did have a "Who the hell was Brett?" moment while reading the IC thread, so that's good info to have.
I'll find pictures of those fine darlings tomorrow, though I might just re appropriate Cassidy's old pic for Billy. :3
Edit: Sleep? Was ist das? Pics are there. New one for Billy too.
Okay, back to a computer, even if it's not my beloved laptop.
Thoughts: I love the look of the new Cassidy. I don't know why, but Henry Sanderson had brown hair in my mind, Mike is SPOT ON and so is Flat Face, the creepy ghouls are... very creepy, so kudos, and Brent... reminds me of Charming from Shrek. I don't know if that's good or bad.
DO THE PCs NEXT!!!!

Danielle

Wow I am really torn.
On one hand excellent work, the eyes and face capture how I could see the character looking pretty perfectly, the expression of defiant boredom fits Danielle really well, and the eyes are fantastic.
On the other hand I had initially listed long blonde hair capable of a pony tail or pig tails, and without the colour and length it just seems like something is missing.
Ah ... and now I look like I am complaining about nothing.
Nyarai, I LOVE that picture of Rick. You did a better job finding an illustration for him then I ever could. I pictured him a little gruffer, but this works out amazingly. Thanks.
On the other hand I had initially listed long blonde hair capable of a pony tail or pig tails, and without the colour and length it just seems like something is missing.
The lenght could still be right, I think. That sort of hair is easy enough to pull into a ponytail or pigtail. I should know, I have straight hair like that and wore them at that lenght for years.
If it helps, I too think that the eyes and the expression are spot-on.

It's not nothing! The little details are important sometimes.
Defiant, bored teen with long blond hair. Time to acquisition... about 30-90 seconds.

I told you guys. Fish in a barrel.
EDIT: Oho! A palette swapped challenger approaches!
Spoiler
Sadly can't go any lighter on the shade, because then it gets all washed out and gross. Also, as someone with hair a bit shorter than hers, I could totally do pigtails (if I could find a second hair tie ).
I think we're close to being done with the night. Faruq needs to get dropped off where Flockton is. Danielle and Amy are heading towards the Nosferatu place. Rick has a conversation to finish.
As for skipping forward, I think the next night will be covered in dpeth, maybe the night after that depending. Afterwards, we may skip a month or so.
Welcome everyone who's read the IC thread to a minor recurring element I just made up thinking about it. Claire will occasionally have some trippy dreams. Can vamps dream? Well she does (and hey I didn't take it but there is a nightmare's flaw so there) and they are trippy loosely made statements on the struggles she's repressing.
Though this will only be an occaisonal thing Worlok's got the permanent tripping all kinds of locked down.
Also
@Picture: Claire has brown hair (and on the darker end of that spectrum) not blonde. If I wrote that in game somewhere I really was tripping but it is in my description
Can vamps dream? Well she does (and hey I didn't take it but there is a nightmare's flaw so there)
That's exactly my thought on the question of dreaming: yes, vampires should be able to dream, otherwise the nightmare flaw wouldn't be out there.

Soras, did you say anywhere what your bestial feature was? I was curious (and you frenzied, so I guessed you should have one) but couldn't find a description anywhere.
Or is Claire (and us with her) still unaware of it?

Oh she has one I've been mentioning since it happened... namely Claire's clothes fit just fine.
Her mind simply no longer allows her to feel comfortable in them, because animals don't wear them. Chosen to directly relate to the circumstances of her embrace and first frenzy. Everything she wears will feel uncomfortable and may occasionally lead to some occasional social lapses but for an unstatted one I figured I'd could go low key and vagueish. While on the other hand the sort forced behavior she showed in the embrace to match Rogan is now a part of her thinking more permanently she just hasn't realized it yet.
(Incidentally that whole embrace actually came about by accident on the meta level. I was not originally writing Claire as getting interested in Rogan romantically, but attempting to match his casual nudism along with some rebirth and naturalistic symbolism. But our good ST went another way and I decided it made sense for Claire too.)
She isn't aware of it yet though I'm planning to make her realize it at some point. Hence the a deliberate contrasting in the crazy forest dream she's having.

I had found that a little strange, actually!

Okay, so that means that so far, we have:
-A stoner Ventrue
-A nudist Gangrel
-A Nosferatu that's weirded out by Mask of a Thousand face.
-A Caitiff with anger management issues
And while the other two seem more normal, so far, I've got no doubt that we're off to a interesting coterie.

Pretty close to what I had pictured too, except Erica would be a bit older. This could very easily be a portrait of her when she graduated high school.

Strawberries: Well Amy could likely find Danielle tonight if she wanted, or tomorrow would be grand, as potentially having a higher humanity then the others they might very well be the first to wake up.
Probably tomorrow evening will be better, but just because we'll end up blocking the other players otherwise. (Unless Daelrog decides to go ahead with them and leave us the time to wrap up things between us)
Either way, I'll make a token attempt for Amy to find you tonight. No way in hell that she is going to leave you all alone, or worse with Flat Face, as she thinks you are

So more like this?

You didn't. I just couldn't recall Claire ever being described anywhere. From the top!

(Had to search for werewolves to cut down on the number of waifs mugging demurely for the camera. )
"There's a lot of good things, Evaz. I was born at the turn of the century, even fought in World War I. "
Psst, daelrog... unless Mike hasn't lied to Amy about being born in 1922, I think you may have a typo there... it should be World War II. I'll hold up answering IC just in case it isn't a typo (I guess high-school level of education would be enough for her to remember the dates of the two world wars... so if that's really what he said, she's got to call him out on it)

So after shooting way to many fish in a barrel made of fish where the water is also fish I finally found a picture for Claire I can get behind.
Spoiler
(Fun fact I nabbed this out of an advertisement and had to finagle a larger picture out by getting lucky on file names... then had to edit it to a showable size myself)
I edited Nyarai's spreadsheet...because I have mentioned Duke in a recent post and I realised that somebody could go "huh?", since he's mentioned just in the beginning of my prelude.
So, i proudly present you the entries for Duke, owner of a shabby diner in the outhwest part of town, and Elizabeth, disembodied voice and general pain in the ass at the Nosferatu flats. No pictures, though. I'm no good at finding pictures.
