O Diabo
Background: The man known as Diabo knew since
childhood he was not normal. His desire for sex, almost
an obsession, became uncontrollable even at a younger
age. When he became an adult, his addiction made his
search for new ways to satisfy his urges, always stronger
and more violent than before.

In one of those experiences he met a woman specia-


lized in a hardcore version of S&M. Instead of everyo-
ne that she had before, who cried for her to stop, Diabo
asked for more. He did not mind when she opened his
skin bare hands and touched his nerves from within. He
did not care when she touched the skin between his anus
and scrotal, prolonging his orgasm for minutes until he
could no longer breathe. He just begged for more.

For decades, he was her favorite toy and in the eve-


ning that she killed him she said he would experience
something so intense that he would never feel again.
When the blood fell on his lips, he was changed. His ad-
diction was now for a drink that meant everything for
him. Unable to feel pain or even feelings as he lear-
ned about his Path of Enlightenment, he became
very frustrated and again in search for ways to
satisfy himself.

Now that Diabo is a master of flesh and bones,


he can once more enjoy the carnal pleasures as
if he is still alive, using his addiction to blood to
spice up his old obsession for pain and relief and
as a way of feeling something in such a developed
way that even the coldest cainite can suffer in his
hands. Since Samanta became the Archbishop of
the city, he serves the dioceses by interrogating
and torturing enemies, even punishing brothers
in need of a lesson. During the war, his role was
even intensified, and it is clear that most didn’t
betray the Sword of Caine only because of the
thought of what Diablo would have done if they
got caught.

M.E.D.O. Project
Between Day and Night, between Life and
Death, there is everything we create!
In order to unite great stories and give space for
the most diverse creative minds to create, M.E.D.O
Project arises.
Inspired on the universe created by White Wolf,
we developed a world with Vampires, Werewol-
ves and other Supernatural Creatures who interact
with each other in a chaotic, mysterious and violent
world.
Beside our Players, Plot Conductors perform
collectively the constant response of our scenario,
creating characters, representations and dramatic
situations that enrich the Creative Universe in order
to contribute for the constant growth of the multiple
dimensions of M.E.D.O.
Different platforms are used as stage to tell
those stories, it can either be in face-to-face pla-
yer’s gatherings, or on WhatsApp conversations,
e-mail, our website and in events we organize.
We have gathered all of the content developed in our
game sessions to promote them in the form of tales,
graphic novels and books, allowing therefore such
“creative sculptures” to reach horizons that go way
beyond our group.
Composed of different minds, with experience
in the most diverse areas, we joined passions and
will to make of M.E.D.O Project a Brazilian miles-
tone in terms of adult content creation, focused on
terror, drama, conflict and overcomings.
To be a part of M.E.D.O Project, live our games
and write these stories with us, access our website
and contact us!
This booklet is a publicity piece for
the book War For São Paulo - Cainites
and Other Sinners, scheduled to be re-
leased in January 2019.
