I too am very interested in this concept and would be willing to help! My knowledge of Mage: the Ascension and Werewolf: the Ascension, but I'm very knowledgable about Vampire: the Masquerade.
If you do want to use a network, there is precedent: the SchreckNet (http://whitewolf.wikia.com/wiki/SchreckNet) is a deep web-esque network similar to Tor built by the Nosferatu for the purposes of information sharing. Depending on the plot, it could conceivable be used (or compromised) by the other clans/players.
While I agree with other anons above that this should be friendly to canon-blind folks, I know for sure that multiple fans of the White Wolf universe (myself included) will likely join this game and make a character that is grounded in lore, possibly even based off of characters we might have actually made in a tabletop game. It's a very, very thin line to walk between "canon-blind friendly" and "too dumbed down for fans of the series," but if you can pull it off, I can safely say that this game will be one of the most exciting games for me in years.
As for introductions... is the Masquerade going to be a thing in this verse? Because depending on how you're gonna set up the city, if it's under Camarilla control, depending on how much of a dick the Prince is, a mingle log for the recently Embraced might not end well.
