==Biography==
Ciara is a Caucasian female, somewhere in her mid to late 20's, with long auburn hair down to the small of her back. Thin and fair-skinned in life, Ciara is the same in death; though not as pale as low-humanity Kindred. Ciara still carries the soft accent of her living days. Over the years it has mellowed from a harsh Irish brogue to a soft, vaguely European inflection on certain words. Tall, even by today standards, Ciara is 5' 11”; but the stiletto heels she loves often push her to 6 feet or higher.

In Kindred official functions, she usually wears a demur suit or dress, whatever suits her mood that night. In human society she's ofter more lax in dress, Ciara is still a wild child at heart, but that free spirit has been reigned in by years of restraint among Kindred society. While at official Kindred function, Ciara is reserved and respectful, fully aware the eyes that watch her every move for mistake or weakness. Respectful and courteous, Ciara has had decades to ingrain the practices of the Kindred court into her personality; sometimes coming off as cold due to the almost emotionless behavior she exhibits. It's only while free of the restraints of Kindred society that she let's her hair down; loving the spot light when she feels she can draw attention without making a fool of herself.

Ritual Synergy

Asa:

{{Infobox Merit
|Level1=3|Level2=5
|Type=Mage
|Prerequisite=Gnosis ●●● (three dots version)<br> Gnosis ●●●●● (five dots version)
|Source=Tome of the Mysteries
|Pages=p. 74
}}__NoTOC__

Some mages learn the techniques of ritual synergy, a form of group ritual that allows those involved to contribute individual parts of a magical working to form a greater whole than any of them can manage alone. Normally, each of the participants of a group ritual must have the ability to cast the spell on his own; mages with this Merit can break those rules.

With Ritual Synergy {{dot3}}, the mage leading the ritual must have the ability to cast the spell, but those participants who also possess this Merit do not need to know how to cast the spell themselves. The leader rolls his normal dice pool, but each participant’s dice pool is equal to his own Gnosis. Any mages who know the primary Arcanum used in the spell can add their dots to this dice pool. (The spell might require Death 3, but one of the participants knows only Death 1; he can still add his Death dot to the dice pool.) Each of the participants, including the leader, must also spend a point of Mana at the beginning of the ritual.

: ''Example: A cabal wishes to join together into a group ritual casting of [[Space]] 2 “[[Scrying]].” However, only one member of the cabal knows Space 2. Luckily, the mages have all learned this Merit at three dots, allowing the mage with the requisite Arcanum lore to act as the group leader while the others assist, even though they do not themselves know how to cast the spell.''

With Ritual Synergy {{dot5}}, the mage leading the ritual need not know how to cast the entirety of the spell; other participants with this Merit can contribute their personal Arcanum knowledge to conjunctional or combined spells. All participants roll their relevant dice pools (using the Arcanum they are contributing) and spend a point of Mana.

: ''Example: Adept Solis wishes to cast a conjunctional [[Fate]] 4 + [[Space]] 2 “[[Gift of Fortune]]” spell. He knows Fate 4 but not Space 2. He teams with a fellow mage who does know Space 2. They each know the Ritual Synergy Merit at five dots, so each can contribute his personal Arcanum knowledge to the whole of the casting''

Humanity

Asa:

<noinclude>{{header|vtr}}{{Vampire/Index}}{{topicon vtr}}</noinclude>
Humanity is directly related to [[Morality]], the mortal trait which describes a person's relationship to good and evil. For a Vampire the issue is not so much one of mere good and evil, but how closely they can retain a link to the morality that once defined their mortal life, their ''former'' humanity. The less a Vampire can remember of the moral restraints associated with her mortal existence, the more likely she will succumb to her [[Beast]]. As with [[Morality]], Humanity is rated on a scale of one to ten, with one being the most bestial and ten be the most saintly (a state that is probably not attainable by a vampire, short of some versions of [[Golconda]]).

==First Impressions==
Asa is taller than most; a solid 6'3, but just shy of being imposing. His size is often downplayed by dark, well-tailored suits. With a winning smile, most men want to be his friend, and most women... more than friends. He tends to be polite, quiet, and calm, up to once being referred to as the 'politest man in the city'. With those that know him beyond the casual social pleasantries, he has a quick wit and broad sense of humor. His most obvious characteristic is his appreciation for beautiful women, and more than one person has observed that he always seems surrounded by them. The observant or knowledgeable will also soon realize that Asa displays the casual disregard for money only found in the extremely wealthy.
* [{{thread}}26960 Latest Domain Status]

==Titles==
To help clarify for OOC purposes; general Kindred of the Domain should address Asa by his Domain Title (Prince).
<br />- Prince, Your Royal Highness, Your Highness, or Sir
<br />[[Invictus]] Kindred of the Domain should address Asa by his Domain Title first (Prince) in mixed company, and his [[Invictus]] Titles in [[Invictus]]-only company.
<br />- Duke or Your Grace
<br />- Formal Invictus address is His Grace Alder Clarke, Duke of Sacramento, Prince of the Domain

==History==
===The Embrace===
Little is known about Asa Clarke's Sire or Embrace other than he claims the Blood of the Ventrue.

===Early Years===
Asa Clarke first came to Sacramento in the early 1900's, a borderline neonate/ancillae of moderate wealth who dabbled in Kine politics and owned a small nightclub. Among the Kindred, he was worth little notice, and quietly continued in this fashion until the mid-70s. During this decade, Asa was often seen with [[Nika Crassus]], heiress to [[Claire, The|The Claire]], and more than a few speculated he had taken her as a ghoul. It was at this time, though, that the Nosferatu [[Freddrick]] overthrew Prince [[Tobias Straiphen]], plunging the city into a period of turmoil and change.
Some older members of the city remember that Asa was more than a little interested in [[Ishani Naetesh]], the head of Freddrick's intelligence corps. Whether this had any bearing on Asa's political leanings, it is known that he tacitly supported Freddrick's coup, using his influence with the Kine to distract and hinder Straiphen's agents during Freddrick's ascension. Shortly after the coup, Asa vanished from Sacramento.

===The Exile===
Little is known about the three decades Asa spent away from Sacramento. Some claim to have seen him on the east coast, and it is generally accepted that he spent this time with 'family' in New York; possibly his Sire. It is also generally accepted that Asa returned much more subdued, serious and almost studious, and that the strength of his Blood and skill with his clan's signature Discipline left no question as to whether he should be considered a neonate or ancilla.

==Sacramento==
===Deputy===
In late 2008 or early 2009, Asa was seen in Sacramento again, and claimed the position of [[Ventrue]] [[Former Position::Priscus]], despite the presence of two [[Invictus]] Elders among the [[Ventrue|Lords]] of the city. Shortly after being re-Acknowledged by Prince [[Freddrick]], Asa was made [[Former Position::Sheriff's Deputy]] by the Domain's Sheriff, [[Ishani Naetesh]]. Despite an early misstep in overstepping his authority, he continued to serve in this capacity, assisting with a [[Lady Nos|rogue Nosferatu in the sewers]], a Bloodhunt declared on [[Gabriel Marcus]], and investigating the attack by the Brood known as the [[Gardeners]]. During this time, he and [[Ishani Naetesh]] became lovers, and both joined the Invictus. Asa is also known for hosting the [[Court 0902 Sundance|Sundance Court]]. After the fall of the Elder population to [[Eric The Ancient]], Asa would be acclaimed [[Position::Prince]] by the remaining ancillae of the City<ref>[[Asa Clarke Acclaimed Prince]]</ref>.

===House Millarr===
Prince Asa Clarke is known among the Invictus of Sacramento to be a Successor of House Millarr. Originally an Invictus Dynasty consisting of [[Brandon Davis]], [[Icarus]], [[Lioni Dupree]], and [[Zoe Miller]], the Dynasty was devastated by the assault of [[Eric The Ancient]] upon the city. The sole Risen survivor, Lioni Dupree, extended the invitation that Brandon Davis had been tasked with but died before delivering. Shortly after, the Alder Lady Dupree was also slain by the Progenitor Bethem, and the city's Kindred fell prey to the virus known as the Lost Nights.

Although no details have been forthcoming from existing House Members, it is known that Asa was inducted as a full Successor, and the old and well-regarded House continues as a Cyclical Dynasty, now counting [[Ishani Naetesh]] and [[Twist]] among it's Members.

===Invictus===
During the [[Court 0902 Sundance|Sundance Court]], Lady Commissioner [[Jane Scotts]] delivered a gift to Asa from [[Icarus]], which were a symbolic invitation to join the Invictus. Asa would join, sponsored by Alder Lord Judex Icarus and Alder Lady Au Pair [[Lioni Dupree]]. One of his first official Covenant tasks was to bring a Kine to the Grindhouse Court to observe the [[Final Death]] of [[Gabriel Marcus]]. This Kine was police officer [[Joe O'Connell]], who had been pursuing Marcus' crimes. Shortly thereafter, Bethem and the Lost Nights devastated the Covenant. Bethem would strike first, killing Lioni Dupree<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?p=111873&postcount=48 Lioni's Final Death]</ref>, whose position of [[Former Position::Judex]] then fell to Asa by dint of their Dynastic ties, despite Arnold Culler's seniority.

Upon Rising from the Lost Nights, only Asa Clarke and [[Arnold Culler]] remained of the powerful Covenant. Asa quickly recruited [[Twist]], and named her a [[Invictus_Titles#Lord|Lady]] of the [[Invictus]] to bolster his own position. Ishani Naetesh would eventually Rise, re-joining the Covenant, as well as many new members, but ultimately Asa and Ishani would leave for the [[Ordo Dracul]].

At his final Invictus appearance, Asa introduced Twist as a Millarr Successor, conferring all of his power and position as Judex and Viscount to her. He would also name Arnold Culler a [[Invictus_Titles#Lord|Lord]] of the [[Invictus]] before leaving.
