This Roleplay is for Mature Audiences, You've been Warned.



Want to play a game? This ain't it, kid. Look... I've been around the block more times, and in more places than you'll ever know, so hear me out and I'll make it brief. You're a Vampire now. But forget all the s**t you see in movies or read in books. Silver does nothing more than bring a shine to our eyes. Holy Water? Pfft... I guess that'd just make us baptized children of the night. A stake through the heart? Well, yeah, it paralyzes us, but we can live through it. We can regenerate, so bullets aren't worth a damn in most cases. Shotguns normally mean a right nasty headache, though...

Now that you know the nature of your gift, here's the rundown. You may be a Camarilla dog now, but nothing is set in stone... Huh?! 'Who's the Camarilla'?!? God, we're breaking new ground here. What am I, their construction crew?

*sigh*

Alright, the Camarilla consider themselves the law of the Vampires. They make sure every individual in their care lays low, keeps the humans from being suspicious. The Camarilla upholds this 'Vampire Honor Code' of sorts called the Masquerade, basically, to sum up the Masquerade quickly; monkey see, monkey do. Whatever humans do to survive, you can do. Act human, and only feed the beast within in private. You can use Vampire abilities without breaking the Masquerade, but only the ones that aren't a dead giveaway. In short, a Gangrel summoning spectral wolves in broad nightlight will have people tailing his ass until he's dead.

Now, for the clans... Brief history lesson; Caine from the Bible, he's our origin, our God of sorts. The first vampire that ever existed. Through his lineage, we kindred (that's the vampire name for vampires) became split into clans with distinct abilities. Among the Camarilla, we got the Brujah, Gangrel, Malkavians, Nosferatu, a few Samedi, Toreadors, Tremere, and the bigwigs themselves, the Ventrue.

We Brujah are freedom fighters. We're always looking for something to fight for. Some of us don't even think, they just find a cause and pick it up as their own. Gangrels are the clan that's typically closest to the beast within. They can act like normal people, but tend to like being slouched forward like some kinda animal. Malkavians? Hell, are they a piece of work or what? They hear voices, and they speak in tongues. It's impossible to tell what they're thnking at any given time, unless you're one yourself.

Nosferatu they got beat with an ugly stick. They're really sharp-minded and are expert spies, but God, do they make you wanna puke looking at 'em. That's not to say they're the ugliest clan. No, that prize goes to the Samedi. Nosferatu are deformed, Samedi are decaying- they're like vampire zombies, and eventually, vampire skeletons.

Going from the uglies, we get the prettyboys, the Toreador. They're like those sparkly vampires from that silly book series humans read nowadays, all the charm and seduction included. Some would argue that they sparkle, but I think they're just lovestruck idiots. Then, we have the Ventrue. These are the bluebloods that run the Camarilla. Some consider them honorable leaders, others call them oppressive assholes; one thing's for certain, they get s**t done.

As for what to look out for... There's these Sabat vatos... Sabat are like the opposite of the Camarilla. Camarilla are all for law and order, Sabat are all for feeding their hunger and generally penetrating the collective assh***s of humankind, all for the celebration of the beast within. Basically, each one of them sees themself as some kinda badass action hero. This can make them both reckless and dangerous.

Then you got independent and rebel factions, but those are pretty small or clan-exclusive. Hey, kid, you're alright. Maybe we can talk sometime. I'm normally at Camarilla meetings at the Trustees Theatre or hanging out with fellow Brujah at that abandoned church on York street. If they give you a hard time, tell 'em Smiling Jack sent ya. See ya later, if you're lucky! Hahahaha!
