Yeah, I spoke to how bad it would be with Artemis just being a Methuselah rising, much less an Antediluvian. (did describe one as a regional disaster, the other as apocalyptic)It's not impossible, but that would shift Artemis to antedeluvian (3rd gen) status. In that case Artemis waking up would be aYou must be registered to see the linkslevel extinction event if her peers awoke too, or at least a Ravnos-like awakeningYou must be registered to see the linksevent if she alone woke up, which was pretty scary in itself when it occurred in the inspirational material. Among other things the Technocracy called in a nuclear strike on Ravnos which he survived and then used orbital mirrors to fry him. 3rd gens were beyond the stat system and basically demigods. They're tsunami's in a human-like form. They're even deadly when they're asleep. You don't consider fighting them unless you have plot armor thicker than a battleship hull, you just try to survive. And we don't know if a super-powerful organization of technomages capable of putting down an antedeluvian even exists in this world.
For all of the Sabbat talk of killing them while they sleep in the inspirational material, it's pretty clear that Tzimisce ate the war pack sent to diablerize him in the 15th century and walked off wearing the form of their leader.
The data points do appear to be aligning that way. We don't have Artemis definitively pegged as Artemis yet, but she has the right young, waifish look, there is a frigging pagan temple nearby that claims that vampires descended from gods, and our mom is its ancient high priestess and calls herself Calisto, who in myth was Artemis's handmaiden and priestess.
That's a lovely pic of Laurie and Carmen as gun-toting & armed to the teeth leatherclad femme fatales.![]()
Documented Antediluvian deaths-
Ravnos- but then again......Chimistry and shit...(my money is on Ravnos getting the hell out of there and making a Grand Illusion that even affected his childer.)
Brujah by Troile- (True Brujah vs the rabble) (this is the only one of the four documented I believe was successful, and took place in ANCIENT times)
Salout by Tremere- but who really get's the last laugh there???
Cappadocius by Augustus Giovanni- but as Tremere above, did they really get the soul????
Supposedly dead-
I put Ravnos here again, I am not sure he can be written off given his power.
Tzimisce-yeah I am with you, he is still sleeping and or walking around.
Any and all other rumors (there is mention of Lasombra, Toreador, and Abilsimilard (Nosferatus) all having had some form of final death. I do not buy it.
I am leaning towards Titans as 2nd Gen, Zeus as 3rd gen, Artemis as 4th gen(Apollo as 4th gen-Hecate as 5th gen- Fabian as 6th gen), Calisto as 5th gen, and MC as 6th gen. Now, take out one of those earlier steps, move up Artemis..... well.... it should make for a great show!
