THE VAMPIRE THE MASQUERADE MEME

RULES
☥ Pick a vampire clan or a life state and state it in the post, along with other valuable RP information. Maybe make a short AU backstory!
☥ Pick a prompt.
☥ Play it out.

CLANS/LIFE STATES
☥ BRUJAH: once philosopher-kings of an ancient civilization, but are now rebels and rogues with a fearsome inclination toward frenzy.
☥ GANGREL: bestial and untamed, often coming to resemble the animals over which they demonstrate mastery.
☥ MALKAVIAN: a clan fractured by madness, each member irrevocably suffering under the yoke of insanity.
☥ NOSFERATU: hideously disfigured by turning into a vampire, so they keep to the shadows and traffic of the sewers in the secrets they collect.
☥ TOREADOR: vampires that enjoy every sensual pleasure the world has to offer, idolizing physical beauty and the adoration of their thralls.
☥ TREMERE: vampiric sorcerers that wield the supernatural power of their past as a hermetic house, though they became vampires through treachery and artifice.
☥ VENTRUE: observe the noblesse oblige of vampire society, though their entitlement and greed encourages them to seek ever more at the expense of others.
☥ WILDCARD CLANS: There are actually six more clans you can play as in the original tabletop game. It's a wildcard option for simplicity but you do you in this meme.
☥ CAITIFF: the most common term used by kindred to describe a vampire of unknown clan, or of no clan at all. the clanless have no inherent clan society, support, or even characteristics; they are like orphans among the great families of vampires.
☥ GHOUL: a minion created when a vampire gives a bit of vampiric blood to a mortal without draining them of blood first (which would create another vampire instead).
☥ THIN-BLOODS: a vampire that is so far along in the generations that their powers are weakened and are more human-like than vampire. however, there are certain advantages to being more human than vampire.
☥ BLOOD DOLL: a mortal who freely lets vampires drink from them. frequently found as members of subcultures such as the Goths, blood dolls seek a perverse thrill from the vampire's kiss, but their tendency to actively seek out vampires to give it to them means that they unwittingly walk a very thin and dangerous line with their lives. not so much a ghoul, more like a vampire!groupie.
☥ TOUCHSTONE: A normal human connected to a Vampire by their previous mortal life. Kept in the Vampire's circle for sentiment as well as grounding, as it's claimed that it keeps the Beast in check.
☥ WILDCARD HUMANS: Again there are associates of Vampires, (weapon sellers, club owners etc) Hunters, government agents that know about vampires, and well... prey. This game truly has it all, people.

PROMPTS
☥ THE EMBRACE: is the act of transforming a mortal into a vampire. A vampire drains and replaces a victim's blood with a bit of their own to pass the curse of vampirism to a mortal. This prompt could also cover the... fairly unique relationship between sire and childe.
☥ KINDRED POLITICS: Are you allied with The Camerilla? How about the Anarchs? The Sabbat? Are you smack dab in the middle of a Jyhad between two or more old as hell vampires? This is a catch-all prompt for all your Vamp politicking and plotting.
☥ KINDRED AND KINE: This prompt covers the various forms of relationships between Vampires and Humans in this universe? Prey, Ghouls, Partners in business/crime, Vampire Hunting, Touchstones, and all sorts of stuff can blossom.
☥ WILDCARD: VTM is a complex as hell tabletop game, and I can't possibly list all the stuff one can do in this universe. (This game has all matter of Fantasy races in it, so frankly, Vampires are just scratching the surface here.) The sky is the limit and you can nearly do whatever. (Just don't look at it in the day if you're a Vampire, that will be a final death for you.) If you need more information about this fascinating world, there's always the White Wolf wiki pages on it, or just pick up Bloodlines or Coteries of New York.
