Choose from over a dozen wildly different human backgrounds in Volume One, "Battle of New Orleans," set in 1815 antebellum Louisiana. You can be a Choctaw interpreter, a French landowner, a Free Person of Color, an ordained priest, an Irish laborer, a Yankee entrepreneur, and many more. You'll also get to choose your "maker," the vampire who turned you, from one of six different vampires, each with their own unique background.

Your choice of background affects the entire rest of the game, as you live through a hundred years of American history. Each background engages differently with the Civil War, Reconstruction, the liberation of Haiti, the Exodusters, Cuba, lynchings, and vodou. Your vampire may or may not be literate, may or may not speak English, French, German, Latin, Spanish, or Choctaw.
