Twinnius

By Tobias Beecher

Description

This Discipline has been finely honed by some players I know, so I thought I'd write up some official rules for it. Now everyone out there in World Of Darkness Land can reap the benefits of Twinnius.

No joke, I've known couples who used this Discipline constantly. Please, friends don't let friends make asses out of themselves in front of large groups of people.

Table-top Rules

You and your significant other's characters, no matter what game or campaign, have known each other since two months before birth, and are probably romantically involved.

Either you or your significant other is the Storyteller, so both of you now have the ability to grant whatever off-the-wall merits or flaws you want. Want to play a were-tapeworm with Fae blood, Thaumaturgy, and the ability to use Magick? Go for it.

One level further that Hand of the Creator, it gives you or your significant other the power to never die, or have anything nasty happen to you, even if every other character in your troupe has. It's really cool, survive ground zero of a nuclear blast, have your Ventrue walk around at mid-day, or give your Garou silver armor.

Like the first-level power, you and your significant other's characters and somehow inexorably linked, but you players have the power to fervently deny it, no matter who's asking you. Does the Storyteller really need to know why your Setite and his/her Get of Fenris are married with five children, or even how your vampire managed to conceive?

The obvious next step up from Subconscious Link, if you and your significant other get to role-playing in a two-person kind of thing, this level of Twinnius blocks out your sensory input, so even if the other players are setting off high-power explosives, while being totally naked and having a stone-fight, you still will notice nothing but your significant other's player.

Live-Action Rules

Linkage: As per the 1st level for table top.

Fudgin' It: Similar to Hand of the Creator, it allows you or your significant other to bring in whatever character you want, no matter what the Narration Staff thinks. Have they been asking people to play neonates of the Seven Camarilla clans for new characters? Don't worry about it, bring in a Lasombra antitribu elder with tenth level Obtenebration.

Tea Party: Similar in result to Blissful Ignorance, you and your significant other's characters now have the power to act in-game as you players would out-of-game. Want to just sit on the couch and make out all night? Just say that your Salubri and his Baali "patched up their problems."
