What Is Your Pc's Grounds?

Okay, to make sure I don't tread on any toes when either redefining vampire NPCs, introducing new ones, or expanding one NPC's domain, let me know what you think your character's conceptual turf is. I mean, I may have them tread your turf, anyway, but that'd be for a different purpose ... giving your PC a chance to win in your domain and come out on top. Otherwise, they might just rock harder than you at a game I didn't even know you wanted to play. If I missed you, it's because I don't know what domains you have. Even if I included you, tell me if I missed anything out. It'll also help other players identify the holes in the game for more PC goodness.

Here are some examples so let me know if I miss out on any additionals:

Izydor: Oneiromancy.
Hassan: Relic Hunter; Indiana Jones; Cross-Genre Sleuth
Seamus O'Baoill: Kindred Historian
Gary Dodd: Black Marketeer; Smuggler
Vinnie Celino: Bikie Gangster; Gangland Boss; Gangrel Hard-Ass
Amity Fine: Jazz Singer.
Dominic: Librarian; Dying Light
Dimloch: Roman Ancient; Spear Warrior
Persephone: Accountant; Financial Advisor
Guilherma: Demonologist
James Tyler: Con Man
Checkers Pockets: Rat King; Professional Middleman
Zafir: Crone Trickster;

NPC Domains (obviously no NPC can have exclusive domain but this is what these guys are known for and what people will turn to them for and may inspire you for ideas.)
Contrary Mary: Prostitution; Seedy Sites; Nymphomaniac Nosferatu.
Gloria Brown: Ice Queen; Art Connection; Socialite.
Siobhan O'Baoill: Gruff Cop; Police Connection.
Marianne: Ms. Fix-It; Rally Car Driver; Firebrand Carthian.
J.J.: Hacker; Technician
Peter Walsh: Brood; Random occult insight.

Juliette Tyler and Yasmin still have as yet unknown roles in the game.

I'd add to Checkers "rat king" and "professional middleman" because of his connections all over the place. As for Zafir... it's a bit hard. "Cheating fate" maybe? :P Oddly, that seems to have been what he's been doing in-game - acting as a catalyst for the unexpected third option.

Well, I've updated the first post with some of your answers.

Often the easiest way to figure out your role / domain (if you have one) is with a one-sentence concept.

For example, Marianne is a car enthusiast, bike racer, and enthusiastic mechanic who also sidelines as a Carthian firebrand for her collectivist ideals.

Other grounds, Peace Keeper (whether a good Sheriff, Master of Elysium, etc.), Masquerade Breach Specialist, Herd Cultivator (someone who's exceptionally good at tending Racks and the like), Talent Scout (someone really good at finding the right human for certain purposes - food, sex, Embrace, ghouldom), Ghoul Breeder.

We all know Walsh is the true Brood. That's why he was so close to the Wyrm.
