Changeling: the Dreaming about keeping wonder and joy alive in a world trying to crush it, so it doesn't feel as bleak as it is. Also my wife is enjoying playing as a 7-year-old disney princess who sings to the amimals and forces the grown-ups to dance along. Absolutely terrifying little monster.

I played a Chosen of Secrets in my EvWoD game. I was playing, for all intents and purposes, a total sociopath. I'd kill people when fate said they had to die. If fate said it wasn't their time I'd save them even from my friends. I'd tell people secrets when fate told me to, I'd hide things from people when fate indicated it wasn't time to reveal them. I'd send people away if the signs said it was auspicious and I'd slow everyone down if the stars weren't quite right yet (but we always showed up at just the right time for it to matter).

Completely insane from a human standpoint. And also manipulative as fuuuuuck. Since my own destiny was destroyed I could barely be said to exist in the world and it made personal consequences fleeting enough to not care who I fucked over. And I did. Repeatedly. In ways that were basically impossible to catch up to me and the one time they did, I just Ceased to Exist - made another life for myself as a Lupus Fianna and fought in the civil war against the Get until the time was right, and then I let that life go and became myself again, such as it was.

Weird game. Very fun. I never get to play in games and so it was a real treat to let loose in a setting I knew a lot about.

But when I run games, I prefer a setting where I control the plot and don't have big movers and shakers in the background doing things (unless that is important to the story somehow). Chronicles is a great set of legos to make a campaign out of.
