I know this question has appeared numerous times, but since I am highly interested in making this possible, is anyone particularly interested in a communal area that will be player created and invested?
The ideas I have is to have a warehouse set in either the Thornhill District or Spring Heights sections of Halifax (Debating whether the setting should be "nitty gritty" or sorta "clean"--opinions?) where a small group of NPCs loners have renovated enough in order to house a large number of Luperci at once. As far as NPCs go, here's a basic skeletal idea I have for them:
The Bartender, 5 years old, Male - Rather silent, seemingly serious in appearance, but has a good sense of humor. He is a good listener, and will be willing to hear a sob story from a drunk and giving small comments that may not really be helpful for their situation. Usually the one to break up any fights if they happen, unless it gives him a good laugh. Easy to trade with, his inventory mainly being alcohol, but knows a bad deal when he sees it.
The Performer, 2 years old, Female - Beautiful face, dancer, and singer. She can be a real tease on the stage, but if someone catches her off of it, finds that she has a very down to earth personality, Southern grown and polite. That being said, if advances are made to her, she knows how to deal with the ones she doesn't like--daddy taught her best, and she is able to knock down a grown wolf to his knees. She is a respected figure among the bar's/club's owners despite her young age, and has a dream to make herself worldwide famous, and using this bar/club as a hopeful start.
The Musician, 8 years old, Male - Younger days gone and went, he settled down with the group and lends his diverse musical talents. His music can range to very soulful blues, to very up beat tunes that can set a crowd on their feet. Collaborates closely with the performer, and is almost a fatherly figure for her, and to a greater extent, the whole group. When not performing, he can be seen enjoying a drink. He is the most friendly of the group, and can give wise advice to the stranger to ease his troubles.
The Manager, 4 years old, Male - The man who made it all happen--he is the leader of the group and was the one to bring them all together. He leads the bar/club with an iron fist, and has a no-nonsense policy when it comes to business concerning his place. He has crass, and will give other nicknames such as "sweetheart" and "hotshot" that aren't as endearing as it sounds. That being said, he has a very sharp intelligence, and can see foul play brewing and will break it up when he spots it--sadly, he can't be everywhere at once, but gets pretty pissed and will break up fights himself if he doesn't throw himself into the tumble himself out of annoyance. He is a drunkard, and very hard to get along with him without losing your patience.
Now, I am stuck at whatever this idea should be considered a bar or a club--while they will be alcohol, the area will be actually be used for a "rave" kind of deal, if you know what I mean. Like, a whole bunch of people having a good time at once. So like a club? 8D That being said I don't think crowds of Luperci would actually go there nightly, since they have their own craft to work on and families and themselves to feed and stuff, so at times there will be only a few, and that would be for a drink--hence the "bar" term. On the fence between both, so gimme opinions!
Again, I don't want to set this in motion unless enough people is interested in it (Cause, hey, this is for you guys to use!), and I want this to be a multi-member idea, so throw in some ideas if you have them!
