Profiles are the custom method we use to track individual character information, like blood points and experience. Once a character is approved, a profile must be created for them before they can be used in scenes.

Because everyone needs to be using a profile for all of their characters, names are not case sensitive. This means no one would be able to have a character named ‘Caine’ and ‘caine’. Of course, full names such as “John Smith” and “John Grey” are considered different.

Note that all of the commands listed below are subcommands of profile. This means all of them will require v.profile or v.p before them to function.

• Default Command: v.profile create
• Alternate Name: v.p create

Unlike other commands, this command requires nothing else to be added when using it. You will be asked for the information required. Please have your character description (found in #getting-started) copied so it can be pasted when prompted.

• Alternate Name: v.p show

Group initiatives are rolled differently, as each character will have a different name and rating. You must provide name and rating pairings equal to NUMBER for this command to function. The names and ratings must also follow that order, with nothing separating them.

Command: v.repeat NUMBER init NAME RATING NAME RATING

Number is how many are in the group you are rolling for.
Name is the name of a character.
Ratingis the character’s initiative rating.

You are unable to add text comments to group initiatives because of how they are processed.

Example - rolling for a group of three characters, the first with a rating of 3, the second with a rating of 5, and the third with a rating of 4

v.repeat 3 init Brujah 3 Toreador 5 Ventrue 4

All scenes take place in a channel created specifically for it, and are archived once they end for ease of reference.

The start and end commands are completely separate from one another. This means that, if for some reason the channel doesn’t end up in the correct category, it can be moved freely to the right spot.

Note that both of the commands listed below are subcommands of scene. This means all of them will require v.scene before them to function.

• Default Command: v.scene start
• Alternate Name: None
• Parameters Name

Start (v.scene start) creates a channel by the Name given, and asks the user for both a location (Downtown, Inner City, Hollywood, Outskirts) and description. Descriptions should include the date and time of the scene at bare minimum.

Example - Creating a scene titled ‘New in Town’

v.scene start new in town

• Default Command: v.scene end
• Alternate Name: None
• Parameters Name

End (v.scene end) takes all of the messages inside the scene channel and puts them into the location’s respective archive channel. The link outputted is to be used to record the scene in the #scene-log for ease of reference later.

While a scene is being archived, all pings will give a new alert. They intentionally haven’t been stripped from messages to allow for them to be easily distinguishable.

Example - Creating a scene titled ‘New in Town’

v.scene start new in town

Mail allows you to send certain types of messages directly to the Storyteller and assistants.

Both of the commands below must be used directly in Caine’s DMs to function. Sending them in the server, such as in #bot-spam, won’t work.

Additionally, both of the commands listed below are subcommands of mail. This means all of them will require v.mail before them to function.

• Default Command: v.mail update
• Alternate Name: None
• Parameters Request

Update (v.mail update) sends the given experience expenditure Request to the Storytellers for approval. If approved, you’ll then be able to spend experience as seen under v.spend xp.

• Default Command: v.mail request
• Alternate Name: None
• Parameters Request

Request (v.mail request) sends the given scene Request to the Storytellers. If it’s a scene they’d want to run, they’ll get

Search lets you search for merits, flaws, disciplines, and systems by name.

Note that all of the commands listed below are subcommands of mail. This means all of them will require v.search before them to function.

• Default Command: v.search merit or flaw
• Alternate Name: None
• Parameters Name

Merit/Flaw (v.search merit OR v.search flaw) pulls information directly from our merits and flaws directory. The description, type, availability, learnabiltiy, and source are all display.

Below are a collection of functions that Caine has, but aren’t explicitly commands themselves.

To submit a character sheet, the google drive share link has to be DM’d to Caine directly. Nothing else is required for this to work. You should receive a confirmation message if it went through.

All active characters (characters who had been played at least once during a scene) are given 2 experience every Sunday at 23:45 UTC. Characters must have a profile to earn experience this way.

React to a message with 💾 (a floppy disk) to save it in the #quote-book. Currently, this only works on messages sent by actual users, not proxies (tuppers).
