I have a question: Who did the MC think he saw when he visited Callisto?
Also, since I've read this is similar to VtM, with some characters possibly linked/based on that, anyone know where I could read about VtM to get a solid background on it. Always been interesting vampire games and the like, so I'd like to know more aboue the lore. Appreciate it.
Vampire the Masquerade is an inspiration for the work. There is absolutely Zero connection beyond some similar powers and similar type clans. No Caine, No Sect Wars, (wellllllllllllll god wars count I guess...) No shared origins.
The mythology for the vampires is through Sumerian not Judeo-Christian myth. Which actually begs the theological question, since Judeo-Christian myth borrows heavily from Sumerian mythos, however, Caine and all that are not here.
Nos are the most flagrant match with VtM which took it from elsewhere itself.
Sharon is similar to Ventrue, as is Roland and Eloise.
Malia is most likely Toreador like, as is Astrid.
Fabian is semi like Tremere, but really more like the more ancient sorcerous clans.
Calisto has sorcery, and the MC will develop it in a few decades/hundred years.
Just google and read the wiki on World of Darkness and VtM NOT VtR or the 5th edition rot. Nothing past the 20th Anniversary editions has much inspirational value to this game.
There is an example of Gangrel like, at Roland's house.
Marcius and his thugs are Brujah like.
Malkavians.... yeah inspiring too. lol.
Anyway, the MC/Calisto/Inanna are not from VtM at all. Calisto is a name used in VtM, but has no bearing here.
Peace
