Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Soft-Spoken Sadist]]: Played with. His voice is very high and soft, and he rarely yells, but most of his dialogue ''seethes'' with barely-constrained rage.

{{quote|'' Everybody comes in here's got to have to a shot - house rules: inhibition's the first thing to go. Two more of these, and you'll be telling me your nastiest, dirtiest stories; I am your Beat Priestess, and it's time to confess.''}}

** "GET OUT OF YOUR SEATS AND ONTO THAT FLOOR, YOU WANKERS!"

* [[Dude, Where's My Reward?]]: Only the first time. After her second quest you can become co-owner of her club (and gain a costant flow of money).

* [[In-Series Nickname]]: The Malkavian PC calls her "Love Goddess". [[Classical Mythology|For a good reason]].

* [[Kick the Dog]]: You can also accept Boris' proposal and kill her instead, but you'll lose Humanity.

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Normally educated and soft spoken, she drops one regarding Boris.

A Japanese demon hunter who runs a noodle shop in Chinatown, currently hunting for the demon who murdered her Sensei.

* [[Gratuitous Japanese]]: Albeit used incorrectly in some sentences.

* [[It's Personal]]: She's after the Hengeyokai Zygaena, who devoured her master.

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: White top, cute face, black miniskirt and possible panty shot? Hell yeah!

{{quote|''As you burn, tell them it was Gunfeld Bach who sent your damned soul to that lake of fire! All agents of Satan shall return to whence they came!''}}

* [[Hero Antagonist]]: In a manner of speaking... ''you'' are the blood-drinker here, after all. Mind you, you're only going after him because he kidnapped someone.

* [[Get Back Here Boss]]: During the boss battle he will snipe you from far away with his gun, and if you get too close he will blind you with his [[Holy Hand Grenade|crucifix]] and will run to another location.

* [[Just a Stupid Accent]]: He speaks with a very audible German accent.

* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Wields one like all the expert Vampire Hunters.

* [[You Killed My Father]]: Apparently, LaCroix murdered both his father and his grandfather.

A fat security guard initially assigned to guard a Santa Monica art gallery- up until you break in and vandalise the paintings. He's then reassigned to guarding the Venture building for Prince Lacroix.

* [[By-The-Book Cop]]: Blocks the PC's way while spouting very specific regulations. Can backfire on him if the PC has a high enough persuasion rating.

** By persuading him, it becomes obvious Chunk [[Delusions of Eloquence|has no idea what he's talking about and is just pulling out random regulations to sound smart]].

* [[Dumb Is Good]]: Aside from being one of the nicest characters in the game, he is also one of the few ones completely under the illusion of the masquerade.

* [[Nice Guy]]: He's just so adorably earnest.

* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: During your first meeting you can use the Malkavian's Dementation skill to make him feel like a worthless shit. Literally.

A dealer of prosthetics and medical supplies living out of a basement studio in Santa Monic. He's actually a serial killer.

* [[Grievous Harm with a Body]]: He attacks you with a mutilated arm. Probably his own.

* [[Mugging the Monster]]: Luring you into his lair wasn't his brightest move.

* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: Along with his love of prosthetics and amputation, Gimble actually finds the Malkavian speech patterns quite charming.

* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Under that cheerful, smiling exterior is a merciless killer with a fetish for amputation.

{{quote|''You and your kind may play mortals for weaklings and fools, and that may be fitting for some... but you underestimate '''me'''...''}}

{{quote|You have shown considerable mental and physical accumen... and I'm quite perplexed as to how something that should be ''dead'' can possess such strong survival skills.}}

* [[Bullying a Dragon]]: Makes the mistake of experimenting on Kindred at least twice, with disastrous effects. In the first case, the test subject is Barabus - which gets Gary's attention; the second case, ''you're'' the test subject, and it finally comes back to bite him. Possibly literally.

* {{spoiler|[[The Dragon]] to Ming Xiao}}

* [[Mad Scientist]]: He's studying vampires and their many weaknesses - {{spoiler|at Ming-Xiao's request.}}

* [[The Man Behind the Curtain]]: Up close, he's not much of a threat.

* [[Shout-Out]]: To [[Fu Manchu]].

* [[Silver Fox]]: From what little you can see of him, he clearly has white hair, and he's at least middle aged.

An enthusiastic black-market salesman, he operates out of the back of his truck, selling just about anything to anyone - though getting to his special stock may take a few favours.

* [[Fat and Proud]]: The Malkavian will even call him "Fatman" without Larry so much as reacting.

* [[Honest John's Dealership]]: Subverted - Larry may seem like this at first, but his wares are perfectly serviceable. Plus, he gets very irritated when you suggest it.

* [[Jive Turkey]]

* [[Shout-Out]]: In order to gain access to his special stock, you have to retrieve a mysterious briefcase - the contents of which Larry only describes as "[[Pulp Fiction|beautiful]]."

The merchant in the Chinatown area, Tseng inherited his family's herbal medicine store and is more than happy to help you with good herbal remedies for all your Tong-related problems. [[Most Definitely Not a Villain|He has most definitely never been involved with the Chinese Army.]]

* [[Eyepatch of Power]]

* [[Most Definitely Not a Villain|Most Certainly Is American Citizen, God Bless Allegiance Flag!]] That uniform is from the ''herbal'' army. The things he shows you are fine herbal remedies for any ailment, such as Persistent Gangsters, and he will refill many high-calibre prescriptions. Also sells many edged or blunt herbal tools for the discerning melee customer! All of it completely lawful and legitimate and American, as he will tell you at the top of his lungs every time you ask.
