Hey, you're awake! Good, I better explain everything now. I am not really what you would call human. I'm a vampire, and so are you now. To tell from your face you're rather suprised. Don't worry, everybody is at first. Now, to the basics:
You can't walk in sunlight anymore, just forget it. You'll be in pain, trust me. Religious symbols, peheh, bullshit. Unless the guy has a True Faith it's not going to do squat to you. Wooden stakes through the heart is merely going to paralyze you, but I wouldn't try it anyway. It's pretty shitty. You won't age either, which is kinda cool.
And you know those vampire movies, like Twilight and Bram Stokers Dracula, hah. Even more bullshit. Vamps don't sparkle in the sun, whoever thought of that must be taken care of by now. Anyway. The Vampire, or Cainite, society is quite big, no matter what you think. It's quite complex as well. The Camarilla has coined some laws that...what? Oh, the Camarilla is an organisation amongst vampires. They try to keep us hidden from the mortals, and they think it's better that way. The Sabbat on the other hand try to embrace these gifts they are given. And the gifts, or disciplines, are really awesome. Then there is the anarchs. You could say we are part of the Cammies, but we don't do as they tell us to. I mean, we still don't kill people for fun like the Sabbat, but why should someone get killed just because he dusted another vampire? Anyway, you should know about the different clans. Oh yeah, we're very different from one another. Let's start from the begining.
Brujah: The Brujah were once the philosophers of our kind. But lately they have descended into vamps with their brains lodged into their biceps. They are angry and pack a punch, so don't fuck around with one of these guys. Some of them are part of the Camarilla, but most are of the anarchs. They still have their free will you know. Even if they mostly go "Ugh, smash now!" they still have a sense of logic in their ways of thinking. As I said don't fuck aroud with them unless you wanna get your fangs into the concrete.
Assamite: These guys are assassins. And that's pretty much it. They keep to themselves and that's good for us. They are quite fond of vitae, vampiric blood, so don't let one come too near your neck.
Followers of Set: Oh my god, these guys are scary! Don't even wanna talk about them. They are corrupt bastards and, whatever you do, don't look in their freakin' eyes. They'll scare the shit out of you.
Gangrel: We Gangrel are a fun gang. We keep out of the cities and stay in the woods. We like it this way, and we are competent there. Though when we go berserk we come even closer to our animalistic nature. And don't try to piss us off, cuz you'll find your legs some 5 yards away from where they are supposed to be.
Giovanni: Another corrupt bunch, but maybe even more disgusting. They like to play with the dead, and I'm not talking about necrophilia, not only at least. They keep the embrace in the family so to say. That means that they are inbred fucktards, but they are still creepy as shit.
Lasombra: Well the corrupt cunts just keep lining up don't they. These guys are not to underestimate though. Don't trust your shadows when you're around Lasombra. And by the way, these guys don't cast a reflection, which is creepy.
Malkavians: Completely batshit. Lunatics and seers. But mostly lunatics. And they are contagious.
Nosferatu: Caine didn't like the creator of this Clan, so he made him ugly. And I'm not talking ugly as in fat or a misplaced tooth or so. These guys are fucking monsters. But they are a good bunch, and they know everything. No seriously.
Ravnos: Hold on to your watch. Otherwise you have probably already lost it by now. These guys are the gypsies, and they're not very welcome in most cities. The prince usually chases them out the instance they get in. They like playing triks with your senses, so be careful.
Toreador: The artists, musicians and actors of the Vampire society. Not really much to say about it. They are more human than most of us, so if you want anything from a mortal, just ask them. But don't expect them to be all too generous.
Tremere: Now I'm not sure whether they are vampires or not. From what I've been told they were once Mages that said 'Hey, why not play vampires', and so they did. If the Setites are creepy, these guys are scaring the Setites. They still do Magic, but now they use blood as their source.
Tzimisce: The fiends have little to get from us except an asskicking. They craft their flesh and bones, and sometimes others. But they are very homesick.
Ventrue: Blue bloods. Fascists. Dictators. They will controll the pants of you and make you eat them. Keep away from them is the best advice today. And they are picky with their food.
Caitiff: The clanless. Poor fellows. Something went wrong in their embrace, and most of them get rejected by their sires. It's seldom seen someone helping a Caitiff to get their Disciplines right.
MORE INFO ON THE SOCIETY WILL COME!
Okay, so I wrote earlier that this was an RP. Not true. I'm too lazy right now (what with Christmas and everything coming up, up here in the north), so instead this will be a fangroup and an introduction to the OWoD (Old World of Darkness for you non geeks) theme of Vampire: the Masquerade. White Wolf has not only created Vampire, but also Werewolf, Wraith, Mage, Mummy, Demon etc. etc. etc.
MORE WILL COME! (when I stop being a lazy ass)
