Sky

The Storyteller's Origin
Sky is the storyteller for the Blood of Detroit Chronicles. Although he has run homebrew tabletop campaigns before during his grade school years for friends, he had never tried running campaigns of any official tabletop games such as Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Shadowrun, etc...

However, his best friend was a weekly tabletop session player and when Sky expressed his interest in running a game of Vampire the Masquerade he was encouraged to do so. Thanks to Humble Bundle having a huge sale on the Revised Edition of Vampire, the two of them had a set of books to start from.

The best friend, Gavin (who would later play Lymphaticus) introduced Sky to some of his friends. Reece (would play Daniel) and Wyatt (who Sky knew from school and would play Wyatt) met with them to create their first characters. These three would be the basis that Sky used to build Detroit and the outline for the first story.

Later more players would join into the game such as Chase, Reece and Jack's roommate, as well John which Gavin met as a customer from his job.

Sky developed every NPC for the story of Blood of Detroit as individual characters. Each having their own stats, backstories, motives, and relationships. It was probably a massive over-design of the chronicles world, but the players have all said that the NPCs are what have made the story engaging.

From Vampire to World of Darkness
It wasn't long before Sky became interested in much more than just Vampire the Masquerade. He began to read material from Werewolf the Apocalypse, Mage the Ascension, Hunter the Reckoning, and other books from the old World of Darkness. All of which began to influence the route that Blood of Detroit would take as more knowledge of the canon became known.

This was also what lead to Sky wanting to expand Blood of Detroit from just a short chronicle to a series of chronicles with overlapping characters and plots. Not all the future chronicles will have the players as Vampires. They may begin as humans, ghouls, mages, vampires, or even hunters.
