So, it's been requested that I put up some of my frankly insane collection of NPCs up. Walking Shadows has been going on for four years now, and I've been making NPCs pretty much all the while. If you count NPCs that have been retired or killed, I'm probably past two hundred, though the current active count of PCs and NPCs is at 166, including 34 vampires (also 4 ghouls), 29 mages, 22 werewolves, 31 changelings (also 2 fetches), 25 mortals... also some random characters like '3 selkies'. This post will be for vampires and ghouls exclusively.
I'll note that I'm not putting up all of the characters. I tend to borrow a lot of canon characters, and I have a probably bad habit of including snippets of description from NPC descriptions and remixing them. So for instance, I have a Mnemosyne named Alistair Niall, who is based on the Mekhet Clanbook character, but I gave him a writeup... borrowing a lot of Norris from Chicago's Description. The characters that are too close to being copyrighted, I'm keeping off. I think the rest are all original, but something may have slipped through.
I'm not including statistics. I'll also note that this is precisely as the NPCs appear in my game, and I have a tendency towards being verbose. You have been warned.
These are all mine, except for Nathaniel Beaufort, who was written by Dan Nagler, and Ravenser, who is Isabella's. Isabella also had a heavy input in many of these. All art (Sophie, Lydia, Rajani, Anna, David, Malik) is by Isabella.
If you like someone, please say so! It'd be nice to know if anyone will read this.
