 Just like MacNeil, Samuel refused to become a Baron, but considers himself the defender of Anarchs who live outside of the Baronies aren't aligned with anyone. The confusion of vampires used to being led created mroe violence in those areas as conflicting gangs sprung up, but he is a firm believr in individual anarchism, and only tries to suggest the best path for them all as a people.

 As a mortal, Mark murdered the old Ventrue Primogen, and freed his wife from her blood bond. After some time coming to a new understanding of the world around them, they began to help the Anarchs, disgusted with the attitude of the Camarilla. Together, they opened Better Days, the welcome and care center for Kindred new to the city, as well as for at risk mortal families. They are highly respected within the Anarch community, and though they themselves do not have much martial power, the combined forces of most Anarch gangs would crush anyone who tried to do them harm.

 anthropology, lead a research team, and organized many of the charities the couple supported. Though she was not particularly a hippie, she
 rode the wave of feminism of the era to make a name for herself while also building a family. She was happy, and her relationship was one of mutual respect.  That was why it came as such a shock to be embraced, to be made into an emotional slave to a man who wanted little more from her than to use her to control more power in the city. As disgusted as she was, she had no choice. As much as she despised him, she obeyed and broke off her marriage in order to serve him. Three years of servitude left her bitter and cynical towards the Kindred, and the breaking of her bond by Mark was one of the happiest moments of her life. Unlike him, however, she never truly got her revenge, and has been left with a deep anger and mistrust of elders.  Perhaps because of that anger, she was the driving force behind Better Days. Though her husband focuses more on helping new Kindred get situated within the city, she works to help those with addictions, problems, and blood bonds. It is sometimes a dark business, but she firmly believes she is making the city a better place.

+**Sire:** Lyla North
+**Clan/Bloodline:** City Gangrel
+**Gen:** 11th
+**Allegiance:** Anarch
+**Age:** 25
+**Apparent Age:** 22
+**Hair color:** Black
+**Eye color:** Violet
+**Merits:** Inoffensive to Animals, Eidetic Memory, Blush of Health, Enchanting Voice
+**Flaws:** Lunacy, Prey Exclusion, New Arrival, Tic (Rhythmic Tapping), Deep Sleeper
+**Road/Path:** Humanity
+**Background**:
+Having grown up in the big city New York, Chloe's kid and teenage years were spent rather normally in one of the many middle-class families, going to school, homework, hanging out with friends, chasing after the newest trends to stay hip and cool.
+During her late teens though she felt herself drawing away from this kinda life, distancing herself more from it and her family, rebellious teenager style. She found herself more and more often in the streets, hanging out with the 'rougher kids', causing ruckus and showing those posers what's up.
+During these years she picked up a few useful skills and tricks. How to throw a punch and get out of a scuffle, how to avoid one you'd rather not participate in, both skills that came in handy more than once to avoid the local gangs and being rather quick to pick up things, she was soon pretty damn good at knocking out a fucker that tried to get too close to her.
+It was also then that she discovered her passion for music and guitar playing, often taking to the streets to perform for any that would listen. It did help that her voice and face were nothing to scoff at and she found herself with plenty a gig to get some money in the bank.
+-
+Cash that she used amongst other things to get to the Burning Man festival in Nevada in 2017. It was there that she met her future sire, one of the many performers that she followed around for most of the festival. One thing led to another, co-performances and a back-to-back brawl might have been involved, and the city gangrel, as she would later find out, took her on a wild ride that changed Chloe's life. The two travelled for a while together, her sire teaching her the essentials of un-life, but eventually leaving her with her mentors guitar, as a memento and priced possession, to learn and survive on her own.
+Still travelling for a while, Chloe eventually found a ...temporary... place in Kansas City where she worked for a detective's agency, just doing some legwork, computerwork, shadowing, etc. to help her out money-wise. But eventually she moved on again, not quite feeling that at home there. Arriving in LA she took some time to get used to the new place, but eventually found herself more deeply interwoven in Anarch society, eventually even becoming Reeve/Sheriff. With all the weird and dangerous stuff happening in LA she quickly learned to make friends and even found love. But good things never last and they had to move on to a new place, New York. And though excited about living in a place like this, she already misses the abundant nature she got used to in LA and is a bit unsure of how to continue after certain events.

+**Background**: Daniel was born to a Jewish family in Germany only 7 years after his people were given full rights under the law in the country, and he grew up hearing tale upon tale of how his family and others had suffered in the past, of how they were still suffering elsewhere. He faced prejudice often growing up, and by the time he was 10 knew that no matter what the law said, his people could be attacked at any time. He grew up knowing that one day he would have to defend his people. So when the man who had taught him how much his people had suffered offered him the ability to defend them forever, he gladly took it.
+He hadn’t expected the tools he would be given to be undeath and sorcery. But it mattered little to the young man, neither age nor time could prevent him from defending his people now.
+He was 19 when he died, and 36 when the largest war ever known to man began. Two world wars later and having fought tooth and nail to defend his people from more threats than he ever imagined they would face in the span of a single lifetime he began to grow weary.
+He still defended his people, but he began to seek out ways to aid them that leant more toward the constructive, and put aside his blades whenever possible.

+Dorathea was born to a successful businessman in 1982. Freakeshly tall and strong even as a child she was something of a social outcast and was a shame on the family as a result. Despite this Dora had a head for business and a talent for getting her way. Inevitably a Gangrel began to pay attention to Dora due to her size and strength and eventually Embraced her after she left home due to being passed over to inherit her fathers business. Initially Dora did not possess much self control and frenzied often, this resulted in pointed ears, a rough hide on her forearms and fangs that refused to retract, all permanent changes. Despite actually liking her new appearence Dora realised that if this continued she wouldn't be able to exist in society at all without breaking the masquerade, she was already pushing it, and though she enjoyed parts of the typical Gangrel lifestyle, she was not truly suited to it. Dedicating herself to developing an absolute self control, she eventually gained the iron will she desired and re-entered Kine society, opening a successful nightclub called The Beast's Den, themed around allowing ones inner animal to run free for a night. Dora herself is the Beast in question and acts as a living advertisement for her nightclub, her incredible height and  'surgical modifications' used to entice the curious in for a chance at seeing her in the flesh.
+=== Rachel Pierce ===
+{{rachelpierce.jpg?200}}

+**Eye color:** Red though wears Blue Contact Lenses usually
+**Merits:** Inoffensive to Animals, Eidetic Memory, Blush of Health, Blush of Health, Deceptive Aura, Computer Aptitude, Eat Food, Embraced
+without the Cup, Occult Library, Grand Library
+**Flaws:** Prey Exclusion, New Arrival, Arcane Curse, Enemy, Vengeful
+**Road/Path:** Humanity
+**Background**:
+Having grown up in the 1600's as the daughter of a British trading company director, Rachel had a rather comfortable life. Always the curious one, she would occasionally join her father on expeditions across the vast sea to learn of different countries and the trade itself. Though much more fascinated by the strange and new things she saw during those journeys. Always having been one to quickly pick up knowledge of any kind, she immersed herself fully in anything she could study, being especially fascinated with the sciences. A habit she held unto into her adulthood, no matter how unusual for a woman at the time. This did not only cause a multitude of scandals, but also draw the attention of a certain individual of the night.
+She was quickly inducted into the clan of warlocks under her sire, working as an assistant under him for a long time. Him having been one of the Librarians tasked with the translation and adaptation of foreign magic into the thaumaturgic practices. It was during this time that she got struck with an arcane curse while working with a certain tome. Though the incident only showed her curiosity and interest in the arcane and her sire even more so urged her to explore and nurture her creative side, instead of getting stuck in the blender of discipline and structure that the pyramid could be.
+Eventually Rachel herself managed to reach the position of librarian as well and was transferred to a chantry in New Orleans to help stock up and organise the library there.
+After the main bulk of her work was done, Rachel for the first time in a long while started to leave the chantry more regularly again. Quickly finding the night life to be quite enjoyable, she threw herself into it with her whole being. Her passion for technology and innovation flared up drastically during this time as well, and she spent countless hours tinkering on various small projects of hers. This eventually led her to meet Noah, a toreador who shared her passions in more than one way. They spent more and more time together, eventually falling in love with each other. It was truly a wonderful time for her... but a dark shadow was starting to loom over it all. One day Noah didn’t show for a date and instead a message reached her... A Tzimisce, who called himself Traian Varias, contacted her, demanding a number of arcane tomes and thaumaturgical artifacts in exchange for her lover’s life. In her naivety Rachel went to her clan for help, but they wouldn’t give away such valuable resources for a non-tremere. When she proposed going on a rescue mission, instead the regent put her under house arrest... no Librarian was to risk for such a trivial reason. It didn’t take long and Rachel learned of her lovers demise... something inside her just... broke... at that point. Completely disillusioned with the clan that was supposed to protect, help and nurture their members, this was but the last drop in the barrel for her. Throwing herself back into her work as Librarian, she studied as many tomes and texts as she could, soaking up knowledge of ages, before one night... she just left without a trace.
+-
+Years later, Rachel had managed to move on, having started to build up something for herself and enjoying life again for what it was. No longer needing to constantly watch over her shoulder and make sure etiquette and traditions were adhered to, she could finally fully immerse herself in her passions. Which lead to eventually heading her own company, as her father would have always wanted, just... in a different trade. ‘Pierce Innovations’ and its multiple branches into different sciences and products serves as a means to feed and finance those passions of hers. The recently opened office and research centre in LA is still standing strong and disconnected from anything supernatural, despite everything that happened there. Moving back to New York where she had once started to build up her company might be a blessing in disguise, but she and her animated companions still need to make sure that the newly created Anarch Tremere Chantry stays safe and prospers.
 ===== Bayridge Gang =====
+==== Aodh "Hobs" Gawley ====
+{{hobs.jpeg?200}}
+**Sire:** Unknown
+**Clan/Bloodline:** Ravnos
+**Gen:** 9th
+**Allegiance:** Anarch
+**Age:** 193
+**Apparent Age:** 27
+**Hair color:** Black
+**Eye color:** Blue
+**Merits:** Innoffensive to Animals, Bruiser, Blush of Health, Language, Iron Will
+**Flaws:** Territorial, Emotional Isolation, Eerie Presence
+**Road:** Humanity
+**Background**:
+His Life: Just a faceless immigrant from Connacht at the beginning of the potato famine, Aodh hardly remembered his mother, who died on the trip over, and hardly wished to remember the rest of his family, or the cramped hovel they lived in as his father worked himself to death. Even at an early age, it was clear what his life held for him if he chose not to change his destiny. He never spoke with his family again after he left the house at 14, and though he does not talk of these dark times, in nearly 200 years he still hasn't moved out of Bay Ridge, the neighborhood in which he grew up.
+He joined the Daybreak Boys, an Irish gang, as a young  teenager, and quickly gained a reputation for an inscrutable demeanor and fierce brutality. He earned the name Hobs, which he still uses to the present day, because of the hobnail boots he always wore that he used to stomp rivals to death. By the time he was 20, he had built a small empire of illegal trafficking and when his gang was broken up a few years later, he took over the business and began to rule Bay Ridge with an iron fist. He was instinctively clever, and a lifetime on the streets had made him perceptive to human nature, which kept him safe from the police, but also led him down darker paths. It didn't take long for him to begin having run ins with the Sabbat, but he cared little for their supernatural nature, and set his gang on running them out of his territory just the same. When he learned what their blood could do for them, the real terror for the vampires living nearby began.
+All this caught the eye of a younger Ravnos, who mistook Hobs' criminal activity for freedom, and embraced him to help keep out the Camarilla and Sabbat invading the city. Despite his Sire's misguided plan, and his death at his childe's hands soon after, he proved prophetic.
+His Unlife: Hobs's eyes were opened to a new world, but he began to run a war no different from that of his Kine gang. In the first year, he committed diablerie twice, and sent several more vampires to their final death. He cared nothing for the Sabbat's beliefs or the Camarilla's strictures. He found allies in the beginnings of the Anarch movement, but since they did little for him, he did nothing for them. It was only when the Camarilla had his childer staked and gang arrested that he finally began to make connections with those outside his control.
+Using his mortal connections, and the supernatural powers he had amassed, he formed a new gang of vampires defected from both sects, ghoul hunters, and mortals to handle day to day affairs. Along with others of the Anarch movement, they struck back, hard, and drove the Sabbat and Camarilla not only out of Bay Ridge, but out of Brooklyn entirely. Though he has a treaty with those who control other parts of the borough, and willingly fights outside influences with them, no one who lives very long turns their back on him.

+**Hair color:** Brown
+**Eye color:** Brown
+**Merits:** Concentrations, Bruiser, Bully boy, Enchanting voice
+**Flaws:** Thirst for Innocence, Recruitment Target, Old Flame, Cold Breeze
+**Background**: Michael was dangerous even before he was embraced. A stable life in a middle class family had done little to soften a
+sadistic nature. Good looking, lntelligent, and athletic, he naturally drew people to him, but never had real friends. Everyone who got close to him soon learned to fear him. His friends soon became those who would allow him to abuse them, or who were as callous as he was. He became a lawyer, got married, and started a family, all without feeling a single thing.It was his first encounter with a vampire that gave him the first thrill of his life. He witnessed a feeding, the death of a mortal, and felt the rush of his heart, the excitement of such violence. He picked up a shovel and in one blow torpored the unaware vampire. Just as it had drunk the mortal's blood, he drank its blood. That night, he became a hunter. It didn't take long for him to find an organization of like-minded people. Not much more than gangsters, but they knew far more than he. What he didn't realize was that the gang was actually run by Hobs, a vampire himself. On one of their expititions, they were ambushed, and most of his crew was killed. Only he in the end was embraced in an act of revenge, by a nameless, faceless vampire who left him to die. Hobs found him and took him in, only after making very clear to the sociopath who was really in charge. Michael now works for Hobs as both lawyer and enforcer.
