Vampire the Dark Ages: Athens By Night
Crassus the Lesser ID:YaIr/iob No.5811050 View ViewReport Quoted By:
Your daysleep is restless, as it has always been since the fall of Constantinople. You relive this nightmare with more fervent lucidity than usual. Like you were there again. The moon was choked by rising tendrils of smoke. The screams of the Children of Seth running for their lives as crusaders butchered their way into the city. Trebuchets flinging death onto stone and wooden homes. Fire and blood and madness.
You look down at the scene from the balcony of the inn. You feel the fiery destruction pull you in, into rotschreck, but you resist. You recall your roots, the blood. You stand your ground against the fear. You have no need to breathe, but you breathe in deeply, dead lungs wheezing out. You are bound by the night forever.
You steel your resolve. You are a Cainite, a vampire descended from the cursed blood of Caine. You clench your fist. You are…
>Question 1: What is your name and gender:
>1. Joseph of Vienna
>2. Kalina of Damascus
>Q2: What Strata is your Clan a part of? (Choosing the Specific clan within the winning group will be in the next round of voting. Your strata gives you benefits and a flaw.)
>1. High Clans (Brujah, Cappadocian, Lasombra, Toreador, Tzimisce, Ventrue)
You recall having the best teachers, being taught the ways of the blood like a member of nobility. Intrigues were aplenty, as well as growing a power base. Your sire constantly tests you, somewhere between friend and foe.
-You gain the advantages of Status (among Cainites) and Resources.
-You gain the Carouser’s Addiction Flaw (Must feed on those who partake in your once-mortal addictions - sex and alcohol)
>2. Low Clans (Assamite, Followers of Set, Gangrel, Nosferatu, Ravnos, Tremere)
Lessons on the streets with your peers. Fighting for every drop of vitae. The High Clans look down on you, but as they play in their castles, you have actual experience. You were Embraced and then abandoned by your sire.
-You gain the advantages of Contacts (Among the Low Clans) and Allies (from mortal friends).
-You gain the Sireless Flaw (Cainites in positions of power are less likely to trust you)
>3. Bloodlines (Ahrimanes, Gargoyles, Giovani, Kiasyd, Lamiae, Salubri)
Laying low for survival, or new and on the rise, your bloodline is few of number. However, solidarity is strong among you and yours. Your sire is a good friend and supports you. They may even be your lover.
-You gain the advantages of Mentor and Herd.
-You gain the Demon-Hounded Flaw (A demonic presence follows you, appearing at odd hours. It sometimes asks for favors, repaying you in wealth and power.)
