Toy Chest Test

Artwork by: Dennis Calero

This test was suggested by the Preacher to retest a quadriplegic Samedi corresponding to his abilities. The Samedi was believed to have failed his Creation Rites prior to the 1800s and remained in torpor until his discovery in 1852. Archbishop Strathcona succumbed to the Preacher's request to revive the Samedi and place him in a toy chest with another vampire who is receiving the Creation Rites. The result is a toy chest full of blood, gore and a floating Samedi who is aptly nicknamed Toy. Les Misérables took Toy into their coven, declared him Montreal's national treasure and continued to use the Toy Chest Test, at times, on their neonates which none has thus survived.

Name: Toy
Descendant: -unknown-
Clan: Samedi
Sire: -unknown-
Progeny: -none-
Embraced Age: pre 1800s

Toy is a quadriplegic kindred who was born without any limbs but "reborn" with rows of razor-sharp teeth. He went feral after his Embrace and during his Creation Rites when he was unable to claw out of his grave for decades before going into torpor. After Toy's retest, became Les Misérables' national treasue and the unofficial mascot for Montreal. Les Misérables would bring him out for fun and games such as "Bobbing for Mortals", "Taking Toy for a Walk" and "Movie Night". Currently, Toy is under the "care" of the Wretched pack, who won him in a bet, where he is mostly kept sealed in his toy chest except for feeding times.

Smiling Jack the Anarch

Name: Smiling Jack
Aliases: the Anarch, the Anarch's Anarch, Calico Jack, Rackham, Jack Hopper, Mal Content
Descendant: 10th Generation
Clan: Brujah
Sire: Mama Lion
Progeny: Dre, many others unknown
Embraced Age: 43 (1654)

Artwork by: Drew Tucker

Smiling Jack looks like your typical biker gang member with his black leather jacket, T-shirt and jeans. He travels on his huge motorcycle, possibly a Harley,
spreading his iconoclast ways to younger Brujah. His long black hair, shaggy beard and lack of personal hygiene are remnants of his Carribbean pirate life of the 17th century prior to his embrace.
Jack started his path of anarchy with the anti-Ventrue revolutionary in the Carribbeans which enflamed northwards across the United States creating some of the Anarch Free States. He has always been the true anarch, burning down anything and everything he can from Camarilla soirees to Sabbat havens to gangs of other anarchs. Because Jack travels a lot, he does not have any particular havens but you are likely to see him in biker pubs or pubs by the sea.
