Clan Perspectives
Toreador
We are the Toreador. We are the Art and the Artist.
We are the inspiration and the inspired.
We are painters, sculptors, authors, poets, actors, singers, dancers, musicians, designers, muses, patrons and critics. Even Posing can be an Art, if it is done with élan.
We are proud.
We are proud of what we are, we are proud of what we do, we are proud of what we feel.
We feel.
We feel the beauty we create, we feel the beauty we inspire, we feel the beauty preserve.
We fear.
We fear the sensations are fading, we fear we will be left cold, we fear the loss of our passions.
We are viewed as hedonists, when we are in fact sensualists.
Ours is not a pursuit of happiness but sensations.
As for our passions, well, its better they burn too brightly than not at all.
Nosferatu
Clan Nosferatu is willing to supply information on its internal clan structure, purpose and politics provided you are willing to pay the price or have information to offer in exchange.
Malkavian
We are the jesters for a council of kings.
We are the councilors of the unseen.
We are the agents of chaos and catalysts of change.
We are the cowboys trampling the barbwire down from the range.
We are on the road to nowhereand there's just no turning back.
We are the motley crew, any color that you want...as long as its black
When everyone has seen the truth, bitten into the golden apple as it were...well, it would be more of a crimson apple for us, wouldn't it? Well, no, I wouldn't use the term cherry, although you are quite correct: cherries are red. Violets are blue. But that gets you nowhere; fast.
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
As I was saying, rules aren't needed when everyone has seen the bare naked truth of our existence. But that doesn't mean we don't have rules. We have rules and they all make sense and they all seemed like very good ideas at the time. You may have better ideas: Run with that.
Pranks should be educational. We prefer less than lethal joks ar a rule, but timing is everything. We prefer to drive others insane rather than kill. Its hard to educate a pile of ash.
Please fill out your forms completely and correctly. Misconceptions are our stock in trade, but we must know the truth at all times. For example, Dickie Flayer...you've listed Tourette's as your derangement. Now, it's perfectly fine if theother Kindred think that's your derangement, but it's a disease. Sorry. I am here to help you, so before we leave here, I'll see that you are properly deranged.
Yes, bi-polar is also a disease. Yes, schizophenia is a disease. Well, more of a condition, actually. Yes, of course you are allowed to believe you have these diseases and behave that way. If you must. Research is encouraged.
If you run into a Pooka, yes there are pookas..professional courtesy requires you to be nice to them. I would be very grateful if you would intorduce me to them. I have so many questions for them. Especially, a bunny pooka. They are so cute...
Now, as the good book says, "Go forth and be Froot Loops."
Brujah
WE ARE THE BRUJAH
We are the Brujah and be you the traditional warrior, learned scholar, or anything else, these are some of the rules we should try to live by.
All rules are subject to change and interpretation. Remember Change is good, without change life is stagnant and boring. Also, remember a rule is only as binding as the power enforcing it.
Remember no Brujah is wrong as long as he has the strength, either physical or intellectual, to back it up. After all might makes right. If you have the proof or the knowledge either put up or shut up, there is no in between.
We will accept no slights as a clan. Individually do as you will, but when it comes to the clan as a whole, we respond as a clan.
WE ARE THE BRUJAH, we are not loners or freaks like the Gangrel. If a clan mate should come to you for help it probably means he or she needs it. So help if you can and make fun of them later if you have too.
ELDERS should be shown at least some respect; after all, they did make it to become an elder, which is no small accomplishment. However, remember real respect is earned not given. (After all, there is nothing to say that an elder wasn't a punk as a neonate and was just lucky or fast enough to survive all the many nights of their existence. In the end, he who runs away fast enough isn't caught and lives for another few nights.)
Lastly, almost all rules are made to be broken, but remember there are consequences. So, if you can handle the repercussions, do what you will, but be prepared to pay for it. These consequences could even cost you your un-life so think before you act but try to have some fun.
AND DON'T LET THE MAN KEEP YOU DOWN!!!!!!!!!!
OUR VIEWS ON SOME OF THE OTHER CLANS
Malkavians-Funny but they can be dangerous so be careful
Tremere- Never trust one and for god's sake never turn your back on one. They're up to something, that's for sure
Toreador- How seriously can they be taken, most wouldn't last long at one of our parties.
Nosferatu- They're good at gathering information but a little to free with selling it out for the right price. So always be guarded when dealing with them. They can be good in a fight if you can find one.
Gangrel- We always know that they were PUNKS. They claimed to be fighters like ourselves, but when it came down to it and things got bad they just up and quit. FUCK' EM; there almost as disgusting as the damn Ventrue.
Ventrue- Hate them. NEVER TRUST them and always keep your back to a wall if possible while around them. We had a shining city once until they betrayed us because of jealousy. BUT PAYBACK IS A BITCH
