Love some World of Darkness. Never played a game myself, but many friends and family of mine have, so picked up some via osmosis. Problematic elements aside, I really liked the Highlander series from having people of different eras just chilling sometimes.
No, but I’ve heard about it. I browse the Wiki a lot to look at the back stories of the various NPCs that they wrote over the years. Plus I especially got into it after watching LA by Night. Kind of feels like what I imagine radio dramas used to be.
I’m trying to write an idea for a Malk character who’s supposed to be an NPC. The setting is in politics-heavy DC, so I make it a rule for myself to not have any famous Presidents as kindred npcs, only maybe one or two ones that nobody remembers. The way I kind of bend that a bit is with the Malk character, who’s derangement is that he has all the past Presidents as DID personalities. He got that way after trying and failing for years to play the President in a movie during the Golden Age of Hollywood, and his dedication to method acting resulting in that being his derangement upon being embraced. While he’s learned to control it somewhat, the different personalities can manifest themselves in response to strong emotional stimuli, like if he’s enraged, he turns into Andrew Jackson, of he’s feeling manic or excited, he turns into Teddy Roosevelt, or if he’s feeling depressed, he could be Franklin Pierce or Calvin Coolidge. I want him have a lot of comedic moments with another NPC I made, an actual former President, Martin Van Buren of clan Venture.

Speaking of Teddy Roosevelt, Malifaux has a character who’s basically ol’ Teddy, but he fights stuff like eldritch dinosaurs and demons.
Hopefully he fights them with a big stick.
His alternate model has him with a bow and arrow. Which is not only a stick, but likely allow him to walk softer than with an elephant gun.
Quite true. Plus it would be something the real TR would brag about.
