Delanta Gibson Events

 Backstory...When Gangrel (Gene) met Nossi (Delanta): Years before Delanta left New Orleans, he met an attractive Creole woman named Shannon in a bar. Thinking he'd get a chance for some fun and food, the vampire followed her back to her RV. As luck would have it, Shannon was a ghoul who was out hunting for her Regnant, a nomadic Gangrel named Gene Kendrick. After both men succumbed to the frenzy of the Predator's Taint, and suppressed their Beasts long enough to flee, the vampires met in a back alley behind the RV. The two men chatted, with Delanta offering to help the Nomad keep himself out of trouble while in the city.

Inverted Moon: After posting ads in libraries and occult book shops across the city, fortune teller Delanta Gibson is sought out by Luna Hamilton in a seedy nightclub. The two discuss Luna's concerns over her "friend's" ability to defy the laws of science to create strange science fiction like inventions and the implications that the spirit world, specifically a diety known as "Mother Moon" is somehow involved. Among the concerns is that the "Friend's" strange connection to the moon may lead to insanity. Intrigued, Delanta gets Luna to confess the inventor is herself and after revealing Warbeak, the vampire agrees to use his knowledge of Vodoun and the occult to help her discover her origins and help steer her on a path that will lead to greatness and not destruction in return for Luna's help with something to be determined later.

Untamed: Seeking information on who rules the streets of Atlanta, as well as the potential for a snack, Delanta heads to Hooker's Lane, a place with a heavy aura of despair, and meets with a prostitute named Samantha. Gilles, attempting to investigate the strange spiritual aura, watched the scene that would unfold impassively. Samantha leads him into an isolated area and with a touch begins to drain the resolve from the young vampire. While Delanta manages to throw her off of him, he is paralyzed by Samantha's knife-like tongue. Before she can do anything else, Ben uses his Sonic Disruptor to turn Samantha into a bloody stain in the alley. Ben soon escapes in his modified ambulance leaving a paralyzed Delanta to deal with the cops.

A Critical Eye: After shaking off the paralysis, Delanta is interrogated by an Officer Burke. Unconvinced by Delanta's dancing around the true events of the night, Burke forces Delanta's hand, causing the Nosferatu to fill the officer with Dread as he threatens him with what's really behind the curtain. Unnerved and in denial (and with Ben identified as a potential suspect), Burke let's Delanta go, despite another officer's protest.

Find The Key: Delanta meets up with Luna in a hotel room he's rented for a couple of hours to perform the ritual. He first gives her his theory on the existance of others like Luna, linking it all the way back to Daedalus, Icarus, and Perdix. After they discuss possible meanings and implications of the myths, it is time to begin the ritual. After entreating Papa Legba, Delanta informs the young Genius that she is allowed three questions along with an offering of blood. Her first question "Do you know what I am?" is answered by a face with stars that eventually consumes the figures eyes. The second question, "Who is Mother Moon?" results in the blood offering being rejected and the ritual ending with a violent explosion of the offered blood. After this, Delanta warns Luna of the prophetic nightmare he had about her and her quest for knowledge.

"Gentlemen, You're Up!": Ben strolls into Detour hoping to find supernatural insight into the Monstertute problem. Delanta agrees to help him for an exchange of knowledge. Knowledge which may prove useful later. Ben learns through the ritual with Legba that Delanta and his blood magic is important to figuring out the root of his problem. He also learns that he must come up with something "nuclear" to fix his image in the sight of Atlanta (that image currently being a prostitute butchering serial killer.) In return, Delanta learns a host of information about Geniuses. By the end of the night, the two have a plan to seek information on the monstertutes via a genius-inspired disguise.

Introductions Should Be Made: Realizing he had been in Atlanta long enough without meeting any other vampires, Delanta went on a small search of some indication that vampires even existed in the city. He found it in a flyer informing him about impending Court. Delanta called the appropriate number and received an address and a time. He appeared at the appropriate place, followed a set of weird directions and found himself walking through a portal to a garden Court that somehow surpressed the Predator's Taint. Delanta was Acknowledged by the Council, volunteered his abilities to the Sheriff, and left. That morning, his daymares centered around the Councilor Aldire...

Familiar Territory: After consulting Legba for information on a potential spirit ally, Delanta headed to #8 "Hooker's Lane." After entering the abandoned home, Delanta performed a ceremony to summon the spirit and honor it. Things quickly went south; the spirit managed to agitate Delanta enough that he missed obvious ways to appease it and eventually defaced the spirit's home with expletives ending negotiations. The vampire was forced to find his way back out of the building and as he left the shadows he found that he was leaving behind his entire arm.

Questions And Answers, Round Two: Luna called Delanta up to discuss the possibility of her using psychotropic drugs to access the spirit realm and possibly consult with Papa Legba about other matters. She was shocked to see his mutilated form when she entered the room they were using. Fighting past her discomfort, she hugged Delanta, showing him affection he'd never truly received even as a mortal. The two talked a bit about Warbeak, with Luna offering to create a companion for Delanta or, after he politely declined, find some way to obfuscate the strange aura he exuded. Luna confessed that part of her internal struggle is based on the guilt she felt about the mysterious death of a gas station attendant. After explaining it wasn't her fault, Delanta enacted the ritual to speak to Legba. The answer was clear to Luna and she requested that, once Delanta was feeling better, they try to settle the issue with the "Flowers."

Building A Rapport: Finally willing himself to weather the Tribulation of embarrassment from being mutilated by a spirit, Delanta decides to try to find Bone-blood, in hopes that the Councilor can help him get a better connection with his faith. Delanta strolls up to the Elysium, and after an embarrassing moment with the bouncer, is let into the club. After exploring the dance floor and quickly realizing that Bone-blood would not be among that crowd, the neonate headed into the elevator and pressed a button (not mentioned by the bouncer) that had a skull and bones. He was unceremoniously dumped into a dark cavern underneath the club and learned that one-armed swimming is not hard at all. He also learned that Bone-blood did frequent this underground cavern and was willing to take him on as a student. Just one problem; his price was one Mr. Ben McCarthy, who a month before had been involved in the theft of a mysterious box owned by the Gatekeeper of Legba.

Bad Dreams: Troubled by a daymare involving Luna and the destruction of Warbeak, Delanta sought out to find Luna, meeting her in front of the club he occasionally haunts, Detour. He's surprised to see Luna behaving much more aggressively than usual and after some interrogation she fills him in on a bit of what's going on in her life. The pair then begin talking about Creation, and Delanta's belief that Luna is a powerful vehicle for it. Luna offered to teach Luna how to create things himself and pitched a potential business venture. The two picked up some supplies and Delanta made his first bit of (very) abstract art.

It's Ben A Hard Day's Night: Searching for a ghoul to call his very own, Delanta saunters into a bar that seems to cater to the kind of lost, miserable souls he is looking for. He finds his target in one Ben McCarthy, who was disguised as an overweight loser with multiple divorces and only a will to live left in his body. Intrigued by Delanta's presence and insinuations, Ben plays along, getting Delanta to bring him to a dark street near a darker cross-section to receive the answers to the questions the vampire was creating. Realizing his life was probably in danger, Ben drops the disguise, much to Delanta's surprise and irritation. After finally coming clean about just what type of supernatural he is, and even then dropping massive amounts of vagueness, Delanta warns Ben to be careful not to keep pissing off vampires, citing his knowledge of Ben's exploits. He proposes a plan to get Ben off of Bone-blood's hit list and satisfy his own quest. In return, Delanta agreed to help the Genius with something just as dangerous in the future.

Night at the Aviary: Delanta's attempt to visit a new club was made much more entertaining after running into his old acquaintance Gene, Gene's 'ghoulfriend' Shannon, and a disguised Ben McCarthy. With hunting suddenly out of the equation due to lingering eyes, Delanta was soon introduced to the owner of the club, Savior del Herode, or at least his Beast, which caused the neonate to attempt to flee in fear. His frenzy was cut short when the Prince of Atlanta himself forced his Beast under control. Afterwards Delanta, Gene, and a new Kindred named Adaro were invited to speak with del Herode, who informed them that Court was coming up and that the insane Kindred referring to himself as Prince Ramses was the Nosferatu priscus. The men promptly left the club and Ben, not paying much attention as Bethany, Sanctified Inquisitor began talks with del Herode.
