"Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free."

  Overview


Appearance: On the whole, Henry doesn't fit the usual expectations of a member of his Clan or his Covenant. He's a bespectacled, noodle-bodied, young-seeming man without even the hint of stubble and lips that are full and too pretty for his own satisfaction. While he tends to dress in tidy button-down shirts and skinny jeans, the highlight of his outfits tends to be either the fedora on his head or his well-shined leather dress shoes.

Personality: Unambitious seems to be the best word to describe him. Henry is deeply aware of the mediocrity he's known for, and covers for it with self-mockery and snark. His speech is peppered with the slang of his human life and the early years after his Embrace, making him sound like a he belongs in a mobster movie--though he's definitely never been seen holding a tommy gun in Philly. While he doesn't seem to feel obligated to please other people, there's curiosity written in his eyes that gives him a sense of animation (if not liveliness); he shows interest in those who are around him, asking questions of those who catch his attention.

Public History

  • Embraced in 1929, in New York City, joined the Invictus sometime shortly thereafter

  RP Hooks


  • A Lost Scrub - Henry has no status within Clan Gangrel, and only the loosest of affiliations with the local Invictus. Which the "Inwictoos" might say is all for the better; he has not managed to particularly impress them with his actions or ambition. He shows up to board meetings, occasionally, and even chimes in with insight once in a while, but his energy seems to go toward staying out of everyone's way.
  • Just a Gofer - While Henry hasn't affiliated closely with clan or covenant, he has made a deliberate choice in working for Okorafor & Kan. Which is weird, considering the covenants of everyone involved. While he clearly admires both partners, he spends more time with Sora Kan, trying to learn from her as much as possible. However, his role in the organization is nothing more than a glorified errand boy, who brings papers to people to sign, and follows up on non-essential matters. Or at least, that's what everyone is told. His recent extended absence speaks to some sort of mission given by the family that required more trust and discretion than Henry has been credited with in the past.
  • Let's Liven up this Wingding - If there is something that drives Henry, it's dancing. He's a regular at Starlight Jazz Club and at local dance competitions, favoring a neo-swing style that's become popular with the rise of musical acts like Caravan Palace, Parov Stelar, and Jaime Berry. Of course, given how long he's been active, it's likely that he's aware of at least a few other styles. Are you looking to samba? To foxtrot? Consider asking him to your next sock hop.

Soundtrack
"Water Guns", Caravan Palace
Has anybody ever shared the news
Two can live in different ways
Without a care and with nothing to prove
Not too worried bout a thing
Not too worried bout a thing
Everything's gonna be alright I got a feeling, that
Something's bout to change


We will be dumb soon, say the world
So we should be young right now
We would be more fun with waterguns
So we should be young right now
