[ [ A Modern Vampire Role Play. ] ]
[Introduction]
[ [ Welcome to the role play thread. This is a Vampire the Masqerade: Bloodlines based role play, for people who know what I'm talking about.
Once this thread gets off I know that there will be many random quests and exciting missions to kick some Sabbat (CTRL+F: Sabbat) a** as we move from town to town. Starting off though I am going to make up the missions as we go along in the role play.
Although this thread might not add as many clans as there actually are in the VtM genre, I, as the thread creator, want to make it clear that I am not going to add anymore clans than that I feel right now easy enough for me to handle. ] ]
[Disclamer]
[ [ I do not own Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines or any of it's ideas. Although I wish I did. O_o ] ]
[ [ [ Rules, Ghoul Rules, FAQ ] ] ]
[Rules]
arrow There will be no rudeness, harrassment, or godmoding at any time.
arrow This is also a serious role play. Humor is one thing, but pulling out crazy stuff like a squid baby, that vampires normally wouldn't have, is ludacris. (Unless of coarse it's part of a quest. xD)
arrow All weapons are allowed. (Even of course severed arms. O_o)
arrow Keep romance and violence at a PG-14 level. Any further and I'll have to ban you from the role play.. FOREVAR!
arrow Have a nice bloodlusting rampage! biggrin
[Ghoul Rules]
[ [ ghoul n. -
A human that consumes the blood of a vampire, gaining extra vigilance and strength after this process. They are singled out by their peircing yellow/gold eyes. Ghouls usualy serve under a vampire, doing the vampires duties in the daytime. ] ]
arrow Ghouls are NOT slaves, they are merely servants of vampires that do tasks for them while they are asleep. And by no means will anyone that is a ghoul ask to be like a slave. This will serve an immediate banning. >:O
arrow All of the rules above apply to ghouls.
[FAQ]
[ [ I havn't really received any questions yet, but let's just pretend that I have shall we? ] ]
[ Question: Can I be a prince or princess?
Answer: No, unfortunately you cannot. Only the thread creator can be the princess/prince, and it's only going to be a sub-character to give out missions for the Camarilla followers. ]
[ Question: Why are you calling the ancients just the ancients instead of their proper names? (Antedeluvians)
Answer: Because I'm a lazy b***h. ]
[ Question: Why are there no Original Characters on the character listings?
Answer: Because they will be played as NPCs unless I make an acception.]

[ [ Role Play Info ] ]
[ [ There really is no story, and I was planning to make it more exciting and letting people make up their own stories as we go.
Though there is such a thing as interaction, so lets please try and make it so the vampires and humans meet either by the means of sociality or staring in the face of a gun. The starting setting though is that it takes place in Santa Monica, California like how you start out at the first of the game, but all areas are open and not restricted to having to travel by the taxi cab. ] ]
[ [ Clan Descriptoins ] ]
[ [ Clan Ventrue ] ]
[ The de facto leaders of the Camarilla, the Ventrue covet material wealth, as well as the power and influence that comes with it. The are capable leaders, but are traditionalists, who have been caught by surprise by the rapid rise of the Sabbat. ]
[ Disciplines: Dominate, Fortitude, Presence ]
[ [ Clan Brujah ] ]
[ The warriors of the Camarilla, the Brujah are a straightforward clan, caring little for politics and diplomacy. Brujah vampires are rebellious by nature due to an old grudge against the Ventrue and as a result comprise the bulk of the Anarch movement as well. ]
[ Disciplines: Celerity, Potence, Presence ]
[ [ Clan Gangrel ] ]
[ The loners and wanderers. These are vampires who are very in tune with nature and shun the cities. They are seen as barbarians by their Kindred, but are highly respected because of their relationship with the werewolves, the ancient enemies of vampires. ]
[ Disciplines: Animalism, Fortitude, Protean ]

[ Disciplines: Animalism, Protean, Potence ]
[ [ Clan Giovanni ] ]
[ Another minor bloodline, this one based around the Italian city of Venice. The entire bloodline is related. Clan Giovanni are among the most accomplished merchants and businessmen in the world, but this is simply to cover for their nocturnal habits the clan practices all manner of necromancy. ]
[ Disciplines: Negotiate, Obfuscate, Presence ]
[ [ Clan Tremere ] ]
[ The mysterious Tremere are the wizards among vampires, working slavishly to gain more mystical knowledge to use magic to gain an advantage over the other clans. They are incredibly well-organized and are very paranoid of outsiders. ]

[ [ Clan Toreador ] ]
[ The artists of the vampire's cities, the Toreador are the keepers of culture. Slaves to music and art, they are a clan captivated by beauty and are enamoured by all things human. ]
[ Disciplines: (Optional.) ]
[ [ Followers of Set ] ]
[ Hunted and feared by all vampires, these are the foulest of corrupters who hold great power despite small numbers. They are a minor bloodline based in Egypt and Haiti and are a growing concern to all. ]
[ Disciplines: Dominate, Protean, Presence ]
[ [ Clan Lasombra ] ]
[ The leading clan of the Sabbat, these vampires are manipulators and liars extraordinaire. They are some of the most sinister vampires around and many in the Camarilla fear them. ]
[ Disciplines: Protean, Animalism, Potence ]
Discipline Explanation!
