HOUSE VULCAN

By Chris Granniss (sieje@aol.com)

History

Formed in the chaos of the Resurgance, a group of forward-thinking noble Sidhe brought forth this house to connect the Dreaming to this new modern world. A stoic bunch, they took the shining example of a Sidhe who had obviously stayed behind to guard the commoners when Arcadia's gates closed: Mr. Spock from Star Trek.

They studied at his televised words and formed the House Vulcan, dedicated to bringing logic, order and clear thinking into the midst of the Accordance War. It was logical that the Sidhe should rule, but they should also follow the precepts of IDIC, infinite diversity in infinite combinations and everyone should work together regardless of Kith for the common good and the betterment of the world.

With these ideals firmly in hand, the new house went forth and preached its dictums to the other Fae. They frequented conventions of like-minded individuals and worked to bring about the spring of human and Fae imagination by way of the stars, and they listened to every word their mentor, Spock of Vulcan, and his prophets, Sarek, Tau Pau, Saavick and even Tuvock, have taught them. Most of the members of the court bear the signature of their venerated grump inspiration, gained through diligent effort and great personal risk at the conventions.

The members of this House have nearly sealed an alliance with the members of the Technocratic convention known as the Void Engineers, and take personal credit for the kindness that the Engineers tend to exhibit towards the Fae. This alliance will mean great strides for both Fae and Mage when they Boldly go where no one has gone before...

The blazon of House Vulcan is argent, the symbol of ICIC, or amidst the three Stars of the Federation argent.

Boon

Sidhe of the House Vulcan are stoic and logical to a fault. All rolls involving intelligence are made at a -1 difficulty. Also, because of the awareness that has grown throughout the mortal population by their founder, all Sidhe wear their Kith openly even among the non-enchanted (people can see their pointy ears).

Flaw

Because of their highly logical attitudes, the Sidhe of this House lack some of the finer manipulations of their Kith. They do not do well in romance or politics outside their House, where the emotions of others often cloud their better judgement. Manipulation rolls, are therefore at a +1 difficulty. They are also widely considered geeks and fanboys by mortals and often avoided at all costs.
