What can I play here?
To fit in best with the setting, World of Darkness character types are the most
desireable (ie: Werewolf, Vampire, Mage, Changeling, etc...). However, if you
arent familiar with that system.. other character types are allowable. Just be
sure that you choose something that fits with the setting and time period (an
ancient Siberian tribesman would probably not be found in in modern-day
Egyptian desert... and such). If you want to play a character native to another
world/realm/dimension ... you must have a good reason for them apprearing on
Earth. I know all of this is rather vague, so if youre still unsure about your
charactr fittin in or not .. contact me and I will do what I can to provide a
better answer or help you choose something new that you'd like.

What cant I play here?
At the moment there are no banned character classes/types, but there are three
that are very heavily restricted. Meaning you must have my permission to play
such classes. These are: Followers of Set, Abominations (were/vampire cross),
and normal Humans. This list is subject to change without notice.. If there
happens to be a certain kind of character that we see being abused and is
causing a detriment to the role-play quality ... it could very well end up on
this list too.

Where, exactly is the Mirage?
The Mirage is located in Egypt, somewhere between the Western and Sahara
deserts... about 90 miles (130km) West of Asyut and 100 (170km) miles East of
Qasr Farafra... 220 miles (360km) South East of Cairo (for those of you looking
for specifics). At first I had been saying about 300 miles East of Asyut ...
but with the help of RandMcNally.com I relaized that the atlas I have sucks and
to never trust its scales.

When is this taking place?
This channel has a modern-day setting based loosely along the same lines as the World of Darkness RPG setting. However alot of the curent storylines that are happening within the actual White Wolf version of this campaign setting are not happening in our setting. If you dont know what I'm talking about, then thats great. If you do however, and are confused about what should be taken into account and what shouldnt.. contact me with your questions and I'll do my best to explain.

I want to play a character already familiar with the setting...
There are about 30 established and unestablished Bubasti NPCs working in the
background at the Mirage. These characters range from 1st to 5th rank and are
avaliable for 'adoption'. There are also openings for several other types of
werecats to make appearences that have visited the Mirage before .. from
ambasadors to vagabonds. If you are interested in playing anything like this
please
e-mail me
and I will be glad to fill you in with more in-depth information.

I want to play a character already familiar with the setting that
isn't
a Bastet...
Serveral other supernatural character types are very aware of the Mirage's
existance and often send interested parties there either to learn or gather
information .. or both. The Silent Striders, Tremere, Order of Hermes, Sluagh,
and Wraiths all seem amon the most attracted to the Mirage. Occasionally other
changing breeds visits the cats of the Mirage to catch up on gossip and news
from around the world. Many who otherwise would probably never be asociated
with the Bubasti tend to visit the Mirage when in Egypt if for nothing else
then the relaxing atmosphre. Isis trys to keep things as safe and unbias as
possible ... but the wisest of leaders knows that total control is not possible.
