Welcome to Gaia! ::

"the ravnos clan shares many characteristics with the gangrel, but there is no other clan with which it more differs. the gangrel are loners; the ravnos love companionship. the gangrel are combative; the ravnos try to avoid direct physical confrontations. the gangrel are honest and forthright; the ravnos are masters of lies and deceit.

the most obvious similarity between ravnos and gangrel is the nomadic lifestyle common to both. few ravnos would ever consider staying in one city for an extended amount of time. those who have adapted to an urban lifestyle change their havens on a regular basis, never staying in one for more than a month.

the other prominent similarity between ravnos and gangrel is both clans' connections with the gypsies. however while the gangrel are widely accepted among gypsies, the ravnos are accepted only within their own family group (if they are of gypsy blood). though ravnos live much like gypsies, they are not accepted by them. while most blame this on the ravnos unquenchable compulsions to lie and steal from those around them, others say the very auras of the ravnos repulse the sensitive gypsy mystics.

theft and con games are the most common aspects of the ravnos lifestyle. constant traveling makes it harder for a ravnos to be caught engaging in their favorite pastimes, and gives them an infinite number of marks and shills to take advantage of. ravnos find no greater pleasure than taking advantage of other kindred, and a vampire is advised to watch his wallet, gun, and pants while these licks are around.

free movement is very highly regarded by ravnos. they freely move back and forth between cities controlled by the camarilla and those controlled by the sabbat. anyone who attempts to prevent ravnos from entering a city is given the "treatment"- large groups of the clan will enter the city and give it a thorough scouring. few princes have the courage to risk such and, despite their disgust, most do not prevent ravnos from entering thieir city.

ravnos take their personal and clan honor very seriously, and it is one of their most prized possessions. however, the code of honor by which they live is quite different from the rules most folk follow. they do not place much pride in keeping their word unless they shake hands on it- after spitting into their palms (with blood, of course). they are honor-bound to avenge themselves if anyone besmirches their honor or "good name." they do not cheat or steal from others of the clan, but feel no such compunctions about outsiders. friendship is valued highly, and they always come to the aid of those whom they consider to be "brothers."





as I said, pretty ******** crazy, but good to have a drink with if nothing else.

?! xd Did the Ravnos live? I wouldn't ******** with an Assamite.

Oh, so the Ravnos was Neutral and the Assamite was hired by the Sabbat?

Ravnos are fun to play with. Ever have Chimestry jacked up to five and play with a Tremere's mind? Oh god, is that enjoyable. I made him see interesting things.

Yeah, Chimestry can be a real b***h if you use it correctly. For example, my Tremere friend saw Saulot (my character's interprtation). The Tremere started attacking "Saulot", then eventually frenzied. After about five minutes, I got bored and decapitated him.

The banners you see, such as my malkavian, was made by our own Shadowrainstorm. If I knew how she did it I'd bestow the knowledge unto you, but I have no clue.

For you, my loves. I'm sorry I've been slacking off with banners lately, but if any other clans wish for banners that I have not yet done, or whatever, just PM me. *nods*

In my table top Sabbat game I am in (under new management. Different Storyteller) I am now playing a Ravnos Antitribue. She's got a 5 in Chemistry but not much else. She is also completely OCD. She has a compulsion for order and cleaning. She's also terrified of bugs. Right now, she is a pillar of morality with 8 in humanity but the Storyteller and I are concocting a way to knock a few dots off so that she meshes better with the pack and I can play a more hands on character. So my little goody two shoes neat freak is gonna be the american psycho. Muahahahahaha.
