==Premise==
Pittsburgh was once a city of steel, where factories were raised like cathedrals and union men worked in assembly lines to forge the great ‘Arsenal of Democracy’. Everywhere there was opportunity to be seized and profits to be made, and the kindred of the city found little resistance as they slithered their way into these vast systems. Who was worried about the unusual sleeping habits of their contractors, or moneymen, when there was a new world to build? The Court of Pittsburgh swelled with wealth and importance over the decades, their only dilemma a family of Giovanni that resisted expulsion, time and time again. Eventually the Court simply resigned itself to the interlopers. There was, ultimately, enough to go around.

By the 1980’s, three out of every four foundries in the city had closed their doors. The dream of wealth survived (for some), written now in glass instead of steel. With every year more and more Elders found themselves befuddled, nestled in the hearts of systems that they could no longer comprehend. By the turn of the millennium most Elders had retreated into a long sleep, turning their empires over to their children until they returned.

Pittsburgh is a city of glass and lightning, one where the powerful still dream of building new worlds. Some kindred will find it impossible to survive in a world that seems to grow smaller every day, with an eye watching every street and ears in every pocket. Others will find it has never been easier for one person to bring a city to its knees.

Voice:<span style="font-family: Arial Bold; font-size:14pt;"> Hard though they are to meet, it is not at all difficult to convince the Dreaming Tyrant to make contact. Speaking through telepathy, they speak with a gentle, feminine voice. At times they are friendly, content to offer advice to young neonates, or even perform a favor or two. Others who approach them find them cold and curt, with a barely restrained fury behind their every word. </span> <br>
Path: <span style="font-family: Arial Bold; font-size:14pt;"> Even through Telepathy, it is obvious to any who speak to them that the Dreaming Tyrant does not walk the Path of Humanity.

<center><span style="font-size: 30pt;">The Mask</span></center><br>
Quiet can be dangerous. Grandmothers in Pittsburgh remember the lessons of their grandmothers and play loud music through the day. Anyone on the night shift knows to whistle while they work, knows that standing in the howling wind is better luck than the quiet corner. A small few remember the reason why, know that in the kind of silence that makes the rest of the world seem very far away, it can be difficult to tell what thoughts come from your own mind.

Sometimes you meet someone with a feverish intensity to their work, someone who doesn’t quite seem to be listening to the same world that you are. You see their bloodshot eyes and clammy hands, and you wonder if this is someone who listened to a voice that sounded almost like their own, whose dreams were colonized and whose mind now belongs to the Dreaming Tyrant.

==Premise==
Pittsburgh was once a city of steel, where factories were raised like cathedrals and union men worked in assembly lines to forge the great ‘Arsenal of Democracy’. Everywhere there was opportunity to be seized and profits to be made, and the kindred of the city found little resistance as they slithered their way into these vast systems. Who was worried about the unusual sleeping habits of their contractors, or moneymen, when there was a new world to build? The Court of Pittsburgh swelled with wealth and importance over the decades, their only dilemma a family of Giovanni that resisted expulsion, time and time again. Eventually the Court simply resigned itself to the interlopers. There was, ultimately, enough to go around.

By the 1980’s, three out of every four foundries in the city had closed their doors. The dream of wealth survived (for some), written now in glass instead of steel. With every year more and more Elders found themselves befuddled, nestled in the hearts of systems that they could no longer comprehend. By the turn of the millennium most Elders had retreated into a long sleep, turning their empires over to their children until they returned.

Pittsburgh is a city of glass and lightning, one where the powerful still dream of building new worlds. Some kindred will find it impossible to survive in a world that seems to grow smaller every day, with an eye watching every street and ears in every pocket. Others will find it has never been easier for one person to bring a city to its knees.

==Premise==
Pittsburgh was once a city of steel, where factories were raised like cathedrals and union men worked in assembly lines to forge the great ‘Arsenal of Democracy’. Everywhere there was opportunity to be seized and profits to be made, and the kindred of the city found little resistance as they slithered their way into these vast systems. Who was worried about the unusual sleeping habits of their contractors, or moneymen, when there was a new world to build? The Court of Pittsburgh swelled with wealth and importance over the decades, their only dilemma a family of Giovanni that resisted expulsion, time and time again. Eventually the Court simply resigned itself to the interlopers. There was, ultimately, enough to go around.

By the 1980’s, three out of every four foundries in the city had closed their doors. The dream of wealth survived (for some), written now in glass instead of steel. With every year more and more Elders found themselves befuddled, nestled in the hearts of systems that they could no longer comprehend. By the turn of the millennium most Elders had retreated into a long sleep, turning their empires over to their children until they returned.

Pittsburgh is a city of glass and lightning, one where the powerful still dream of building new worlds. Some kindred will find it impossible to survive in a world that seems to grow smaller every day, with an eye watching every street and ears in every pocket. Others will find it has never been easier for one person to bring a city to its knees.

==Premise==
Pittsburgh was once a city of steel, where factories were raised like cathedrals and union men worked in assembly lines to forge the great ‘Arsenal of Democracy’. Everywhere there was opportunity to be seized and profits to be made, and the kindred of the city found little resistance as they slithered their way into these vast systems. Who was worried about the unusual sleeping habits of their contractors, or moneymen, when there was a new world to build? The Court of Pittsburgh swelled with wealth and importance over the decades, their only dilemma a family of Giovanni that resisted expulsion, time and time again. Eventually the Court simply resigned itself to the interlopers. There was, ultimately, enough to go around.

By the 1980’s, three out of every four foundries in the city had closed their doors. The dream of wealth survived (for some), written now in glass instead of steel. With every year more and more Elders found themselves befuddled, nestled in the hearts of systems that they could no longer comprehend. By the turn of the millennium most Elders had retreated into a long sleep, turning their empires over to their children until they returned.

Pittsburgh is a city of glass and lightning, one where the powerful still dream of building new worlds. Some kindred will find it impossible to survive in a world that seems to grow smaller every day, with an eye watching every street and ears in every pocket. Others will find it has never been easier for one person to bring a city to its knees.

<center><span style="font-size: 30pt;">Notable Traits</span></center><br>
Appearance:<span style="font-family: Arial Bold; font-size:14pt;"> An enormous man who appears to be in his early 40's, the Family Man takes up all of the space in whatever room he is in. His hair is white blond, with vivid dark blue eyes that make the rest of him seem almost bleached out - an effect accentuated by his tendency to dress in white. He is almost supernaturally attractive, to the point that those in his presence can experience vertigo watching him move. </span> <br>
Eerie Presence:<span style="font-family: Arial Bold; font-size:14pt;"> The Family Man is almost impossibly large - no matter where he stands, he seems to loom over everyone around him.</span> <br>
Arcane:<span style="font-family: Arial Bold; font-size:14pt;"> Something about his sheer presence makes it almost impossible to pin down exact details. Those who meet him remember the size of the man, the striking blue eyes...but when asked to describe anything else, they nearly always fall silent.</span> <br>

<center><span style="font-size: 30pt;">The Mask</span></center><br>
There’s a story that mortals tell themselves. When a man who falls asleep on a doorstep on a cold night is missing the next day, or when there’s an empty seat at the soup kitchen, their fellows in desperation will eye the absence fearfully before turning to each other, giving an uncertain smile, and saying ‘It’s alright. The Family Man took them.’

Sometimes they’re right.

There’s another story, known to a slightly more select group of mortals. Among the precarious intersection between the talented and the desperate, the story goes like this. When a grifter has nowhere left to roam, when a confidence man sees his last bridge burning, when the night of reckoning comes at last...rumor has it that an offer will be made. When these illustrious vagabonds go missing, their peers chuckle, raise their dirty glasses in a toast, and say ‘What do you know. Guess the Family Man needed him for something.’

Sometimes they’re right too.
