History Characters / VampireTheRequiem

* BodySurf: And they [[AllYourPowersCombined keep disciplines from each body.]][[OhCrap Yikes.]]

* TheSociopath: Almost the incarnation of this trope. They have no other motivation then simply hurting people for the sake of hurting people.

* HotWitch -- The core rule book states that the Daeva are not inclined to join the Circle, but the number of Daeva found in the covenent in ''TabletopGame/NewWorldOfDarkness'' fiction is quite staggering. They do [[AvertedTrope avert]] the BeautyEqualsGoodness part, though.

* Order Of St Martin: Originally a [[KnightTemplar Crusading Order]] [[KnightInShiningArmor Of Knightly Lepers]] now a loose network of, rightfully, distrusted hired thugs,[[NeverLiveItDown with leprosy.]]

* Shepherds: Altruistic vampires that protect mortals from the excessive of less disciplined vampires.

* Les Gens Libres: A group of Vampiric freedom Fighters who seek to free others from oppression [[WellIntentionedExtremist Whether they want to be free or not.]]

* Mortifiers of the Flesh: The Sanctum's take on Opus Dei, the Mortifiers believe that the body and soul are separable, that flesh is sinful, and that the soul is immaculate. By causing pain, they not only drive out the Devil, but find the limits of the flesh...and so may one day find where it ends and the soul begins. Though originally Daeva, ''any'' vampire of suffucient Blood Potency can become a Mortifier with a tutor.

* OurGhostsAreDifferent: The key to creating a Hollow Mekhet is Embracing someone who was going to leave a ghost in the normal course of events (ie, traumatic death, connection to life, all that jazz). For their parts, Reflections are similar to ghosts who been sent to the Underworld (perfectly aware they're dead, able to grow and change in small ways), are mostly stuck inside mirrors or as living echoes or shadows, and eat carrion and stagnant water to regain their Essence.

* EvilTwin: The Hollow Mekhet.

* GlamourFailure: The Mekhet embraced after their deaths don't have ''Ka'', the [[AnatomyOfTheSoul Soul of Sustenance]], which, by the way, became the [[EvilTwin Hollow Mekhet]]. Because of this they have no reflection nor shadow and their voices and images cannot be recorded by any mortal technology.

** {{Envy}}

** Any vampire with the [[HelloNurse Striking Looks]] may qualify as well, but once again [[BeautyEqualsGoodness Beauty]] [[{{YMMV}} may]] [[BeautyIsBad not equal goodness]].

The Nosferatu [[NightmareFuel embody the nightmares]] of the Damned. There's always [[UncannyValley something unsettling about them]]. It can be their voices, their smell or even [[CameBackWrong their very souls]] - regardless, the Nosferatu are really hard to like. The Haunts are always [[FantasticRacism shunned or at least tolerated]] by the other vampires, the price for being aliens among their own kind. They counterbalance this with considerable strength, espionage mastery (rivaled only by the Mekhet) and sheer horror. As much as the other clans would like, they won't and CANNOT be ignored (unless they want to, of course).

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: Their whole concept, really, and to make it worse their signature Discipline is called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Nightmare]].
** NightmareFace

* Noctuku: [[ImAHumanitarian Savage cannibals]]. While a normal vampire's drive to feed on blood is stronger then a heroin addiction, this bloodline experiences an even stronger urge to [[NightmareFuel eat the meat]] [[CannibalClan of other vampires]].

* Melissidae: [[BeeBeeGun Bee-themed Vampires]] that are walking HighOctaneNightmareFuel. Their bodies are used as hives for swarms of bees and they produce a honey-like Vitae that will enslave any mortal or Kindred to the bloodline's HiveMind. In the distant past the rest of Kindred society held a universal truce that was honored by all factions in order to hunt the bloodline to extinction before it could enslave the whole world. The holocaust was not as successful as the Kindred believed and a few members of this bloodline are still at large.

* TheHecateSisters -- The Acolytes take on a number of ritualistic archetypes, and among them are the Virgin (a woman who's never killed and serves as a reminder of Humanity), the Mother (a figure of comfort and manipulation), and the Crone (NightmareFuel incarnate).

* TheBeautifulElite -- {{Deconstructed}}.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness -- {{Subverted}}.
* BeautyIsBad -- Played [[IncrediblyLamePun dead]] straight.
* CharmPerson -- Majesty, their signature Discipline.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience -- Red and gold, according to the Florentine Kindred dress code. To the Mexican kindred, green.

* {{Fetish Fuel Station Attendant}}s -- Oh please! Look at how many TurnOnTropes they are associated with.
** MrFanservice -- Potentially EVERY male Daeva.
** EvenTheGirlsWantHer -- Part of the [[CharmPerson Majesty]] appeal.

** EvilIsSexy
** {{Hello Nurse}}s -- Potentially EVERY female Daeva.
** HornyDevils -- Vampires, actually, but horny nonetheless.
** InterplayOfSexAndViolence -- They are hot (you should know this already) and their Disciplines make them great fighters, even if they are not intended to be. If you think hard enough this trope applies to them to a T.
** TheVamp -- If you play them right, but if you want the FriendlyNeighbourhoodVampire version, FemmeFatale or {{Casanova}} will go.
** VampiresAreSexGods -- Daeva '''ARE''' Sex Gods. It helps that they may have descended from Inanna/Ishtar, a sex goddess {{succubus}}.
* {{Fragile Speedster}}s -- Overlaps with...

* {{The Hedonist}}s -- They have to indulge their vices; if they don't, their resolve weakens, which is one of the many reasons they have a hard time keeping up their [[KarmaMeter Humanity]].

* LatinLover -- The modern Xoxocti. Invoking this in Mexico, [[BerserkButton with all their elders]], ''is a plot point.''
* {{Manipulative Bastard}}s -- It is in their nature.
* TheSchlubPubSeductionDeduction -- Their favorite hunting tactic.

** {{Lust}} -- They are meant to represent, but are not limited to, Lust.
* TheStarscream -- The Ventrue see them as this.
* {{Stepford Smiler}}s -- Type C.
* SuperSpeed -- Celerity, one of their core Disciplines.
* SuperStrength -- Vigor, another one of their core Disciplines.
* TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside -- So very much {{Inverted}}.

* Anvari -- Drug culture vampires who prefer to feed on people under the influence of opiates.
* Carnival -- Supernatural freaks with the power to make their "Freak" traits worse. Almost totally opposite from the clan's ideals of seductive beauty.
* Children Of Judas -- Depressed emo pariahs with the power to make others suicidally depressed. Can make mortals who committed suicide rise as vampires to prolong the emotional suffering.

* Gulikan -- Vampire Perfumers who can use scent as a medium for their vampire powers.
* Mortifiers of the Flesh -- S&M psychos with a philosophy of "Power is drawn from Pleasure is drawn from Pain" that applies to both members and the rest of the world.
* Spina -- KnightInShiningArmor socialites who wield words like deadly weapons. Although able to physically wound enemies by talking at them, the bloodline is bound to follow the dictates of polite ettiquette at all times.
* Toreador -- A homage to the Toreador clan of the previous game. Arrogantly fashionable, this bloodline takes the clan's hedonism and narcissism to BeyondTheImpossible levels.
* Xiao -- Two different clans of emotion manipulators; California Xiao are sociopathic cult leaders who siphon the emotions of others, while Tianpan Xiao are overly emotional psychos who inspire wild mood swings in others.

* [[AbsurdlySharpBlade Absurdly Sharp Claws]] -- Part of their signature Discipline, Protean.
* {{Animorphism}} -- Another part of Protean. They can take the form of most any animal, but [[BigBadassWolf wolves]] and [[BatOutOfHell bats]] are the most common.
* BadassBiker -- The Bruja Bloodline.
* {{Beastess}} -- Female Gangrel.
* TheBeastmaster -- Animalism, one of their core disciplines.

* BookDumb -- Their weakness means they're not the brightest tool in the shed, but they compensate this with wisdom and insight. Mechanics-wise they can be very erudite but not so much as the others.
** GeniusBruiser: That same penalty applies ''only'' to untrained Mental Skills, meaning it's quite possible to have an effective Gangrel scholar...which, given everything else about the Gangrel, would automatically make him this.

* DemonicPossession -- Animalism allows them to possess animals.
* EvilFeelsGood -- The Red Surrender, when they loose their grip on [[KarmaMeter Humanity]] and give in to the whims of the [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Beast]], feels really good.
** BeingGoodSucks -- For vampires, anyway. The Defiance, a rumored process that allows Savages to be shackle the beast such that they can never touch the Red Surrender again, also allows them to be intelletual and empathetic and in general more ''humane''. And it feels ''awful'', like denying part of who you are.
* GaseousForm -- Another part of Protean.
* LackOfEmpathy -- They have little interest on human needs or morality, and almost no compassion, when they are under Red Surrender.
* MadeOfIron -- Resilence, one of their core Disciplines.
* ProudWarriorRace -- The clan as a whole but specially the Mexican Gangrel.

* SpeaksFluentAnimal -- Animalism grants them the ability to talk to animals.
* StoneWall -- Theorically speaking, thanks to Resilence. The seem to favor the Berserking tactic.
* ThisIsYourBrainOnEvil -- Once again the Red Surrender.

* WolfMan -- The Dead Wolves, a Mexican Bloodline.

* Annunaku -- Hermits with powers related to the domain of their lair. Unimpressive when caught outside their home turf.
* Bohagande -- Gamblers with the power to manipulate chance. The members of this bloodline style themselves as {{Magnificent Bastard}}s or as lucky simple souls, while Kindred society treat them all as {{Jerk Sue}}s who are dependant on their supernatural power of cheating to achieve success. A possible SpiritualSuccessor to the Ravnos.
* Brujah -- [[BadassBiker Vampire Bikers.]]
* Carnon -- Metalheads, goths and rockers that do not wield ThePowerOfRock unfortunately, but are in touch with their inner beast because their bloodline founder got Wicca entirely wrong.
* Dead Wolves -- Mostly located in Northern Mexico, these are mortals who were potentially able to become werewolves but were embraced before they could undergo their first Change. Have access to subtle powers that are affected by the moon. The bloodline is intended to serve as a bridge between the Vampire and Werewolf gamelines.
* Hounds of Actaeon -- The EvilPoacher of the Vampire world.
* Les Gens Libres -- A group of Vampiric freedom Fighters who seek to free others from oppression [[WellIntentionedExtremist Whether they want to be free or not.]]
* Mabry -- [[FollowTheLeader Vampire Bikers,]] [[AndZoidberg that use traps.]]
* Oberlochs -- Monstrous, degenerate, inbred rednecks that lurk around rural towns, will only embrace their close family members and do not hesitate to kill city dwellers.
* Shepherds -- Altruistic vampires that protect mortals from the excessive of less disciplined vampires.
* Vedma -- Eastern European witches who possess a bizarre and diverse unique Discipline, but they must regularly consume animal blood in order to make use of it.

* AnatomyOfTheSoul -- The [[AncientEgypt Egyptian]] variety, of course.
* AncientEgypt -- All over the clan, starting with its name and the fact they trace their origin to AncientEgypt.
* AWizardDidIt -- The clan was allegedly created by a magic spell involving a woman and her witch-pharaoh husband, [[HistoricalVillainUpgrade Akhenaten]].
* {{Badass Bookworm}}s -- Although some of them are not necessarily bookworms.
* BeneathNotice -- The Occultation Merit designed especially for Shadows (and [[MageTheAwakening Mages]]). It makes them very difficult to notice. It is so powerful that some start forgetting who themselves are.

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience -- Indigo and silver, according to the Florentine Kindred dress code. Black to the Mexican Kindred.
** The
* DarkIsEdgy -- They are associated with Dark and Night, but... see below.
* DarkIsNotEvil -- No more evil than the average, though. The Mekhet, along with the Nosferatu, are tenebrous vampires, but they are also less prone to the whims of the [[SuperPoweredEvilSide Beast]].
* EvilTwin -- Reflections of Hollow Mekhet view themselves as getting the short end of the stick (they're stuck in mirrors without constant use of Essence, despite being fully intelligen and wanting to live among normal humans), and deeply resent their vampires because of it. They don't ''kill'' said vampires (as that would mean the Reflection's destruction), but they don't hesitate to hurt them without good reason not to.
* {{Fragile Speedster}}s -- Thanks to Celerity.
* GlamourFailure -- As mentioned, Hollow Mekhet, on the basis that their reflections belong to the now independently mobile and sapient Ka. This is also a favorite way the Reflections like to torment their vamps-they leave evidence of the vampire where hunters or rivals can find it, which Hollow Mekhet literally cannot do much of the time.
* {{Invisibility}} -- Obfuscate, one of the core Disciplines
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: The key to creating a Hollow Mekhet is Embracing someone who was going to leave a ghost in the normal course of events (ie, traumatic death, connection to life, all that jazz). For their parts, Reflections are similar to ghosts who been sent to the Underworld (perfectly aware they're dead, able to grow and change in small ways), are mostly stuck inside mirrors or as living echoes or shadows, and eat carrion and stagnant water to regain their Essence.
* KillItWithFire -- All vampires are weak to fire and sun light, but the Mekhet have an extra hard time dealing with it due their affinity with darkness.
* {{Ninja}}s -- They have the abilities to be great Ninjas, if they want to.
* {{Plaguemaster}} -- The Morbus bloodline.
* PsychicPowers -- Auspex, their signature Discipline. It includes...

* SecretCircleOfSecrets -- The Shadow Cults. They seem to be drawn to create conspiracies and make secret cults around them. Lacking a sense of meaning in themselves, they impose meaning on the world around them.

* SuperSpeed -- Celerity, one of their core Disciplines.

* Alucinor -- Dream Manipulating vampires. Tend to be plagued by bad dreams which drive them mad.
* Brothers of Ypres -- WW1 veterans that have powers based on the chemical weapons used in the war.
* Itani -- A group of assassins who use their own hate as a weapon.
* Khaibit -- Assassins and bodyguards most often associated with the Circle of the Crone. Claim heritage with the Egyptian god Set, who, [[EvenEvilHasStandards although not Mr. Bright and Shiny himself]], commanded his children to go forth and kill ''even worse'' things that lurked in the darkness. A common favorite for both the plug-and-play backstory for honorable warrior types and [[DarkIsEdgy the Obtenebration Discipline]].
* Kuufukuji -- A group of Vampiric monks who use training and discipline to resist the urge to feed.
* Lynx -- They can see links and networks in all things, be it relationships or computers. Technopaths with shades of CloudCuckooLander {{seer}}s.
* Mnemosyne -- Nearly a true HiveMind with memory based powers.
* Morbus -- Disease carriers that spread disease in order to survive.
* Norvegi -- A secretive Bloodline of mercenaries and assassins, capable of [[BadWithTheBone projecting]] [[SpikesOfVillainy spikes]] from their body, with which they can syphon blood from their victims. [[WeaksauceWeakness The catch]]? They have no fangs, so that's the ONLY way they can feed.
* The Players -- The designated ButtMonkey in Kindred society, vampires who wanted to be what the media saw vampires to be so badly they developed Majesty. Their powers are ''extremely'' fickle, however, and if they fail to work, there's a good chance the intended target will see them as a "poseur" and never fall for the allure again. Some Kindred fear them, because anything ''that'' weak has to have a nasty surprise...
* Qedeshah -- A line of MamaBear nurses, thoroughly the opposite of HelloNurse. Attempting to induct men into the bloodline ends with a failed {{Squick}}.
* Sangiovanni -- A SpiritualSuccessor of the last edition's Giovanni clan, only they're now inbred mafia necromancers with a [[TakeThat tendency]] to [[PerverseSexuallust date]] [[{{Squick}} less animate]] [[ILoveTheDead dead]], often with family [[UpToEleven approved]] [[IncestIsRelative partners]].

* AbhorrentAdmirer -- If they fall in love, but that doesn't happen very often (or so we hope).
* BeneathTheEarth -- The Nosferatu Necropoli.
* CannibalClan -- Not the Nosferatu, but one of their Bloodlines, the Noctuku, whose favorite food is [[FoodChainOfEvil other vampires]].
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience -- Black and green, according to the Florentine Kindred dress code. White to the Mexican Kindred.
* DarkIsNotEvil -- No more evil than the average, though. The Nosferatu, along with the Mekhet, are tenebrous vampires, but they are also less prone to the whims of the [[SuperPoweredEvilSide Beast]].
* TheDreaded -- The whole clan.
* {{Gonk}} -- Nosferatu compared to the other clans. ''Animal-headed'' Nossies to regular Nossies, as well.
* TheGrotesque -- Not every Nosferatu is necessarily grotesque, but this trope is quite common among them.
* NightmareFuel -- Their whole concept, really, and to make it worse their signature Discipline is called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Nightmare]].

* {{Invisibility}} -- Obfuscate, one of their core Disciplines which makes them even more frightening.

* MalevolentMaskedMen -- The Unyielding Mask merit. Some Nosferatu wear masks that may hide their deformities (if they have any), but it also may intensify their creepiness. Oh yeah, the mask must be carved onto their faces.
* MightyGlacier -- Their only "physical" Discipline is [[SuperStrength Vigor]], so they can be viewed as such.

* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily -- In their clanbook there's a flaw called Ruined Mouth that can be this, or something worse.

* {{Sinister Subway}}s -- They love these kind of places, and that's why they are sinister to begin with.
* SuperStrength -- Vigor, one of their core Disciplines.
* TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside -- It can be played straight or simply averted. The Nosferatu are knowm to adapt to the curse better than most vampires and if you compare with DarkIsNotEvil above...
* UncannyValley -- Theu can be fugly bat-faced monsters out of your worst nightmares or they can be beautiful... perfectly beautiful... ''disturbingly'' beautiful.

* WasOnceAMan -- Or woman for that matter!
* {{Why Did It Have To Be Snakes}}? -- Oh yeah, they know what's your worst fear is and they won't hesitate to use it against you.

* Adroanzi -- [[ScaryBlackMan Scary Black]] [[{{Blackula}} Vampires]] with GreenThumb powers. While being literally Black people who are Vampires, the bloodline is rooted primarily African tribal cultures and tend to be the type of monster that goes out of their way to eat Blaxploitation stereotypes.
* Baddacelli -- [[BlindSeer Blind]] [[IncrediblyLamePun vampires]] that have [[DisabilitySuperpower excellent hearing]], and can [[VoiceChangeling perfectly imitate sounds]] and [[RunningGag utilize echolocation to find]] or [[BrownNote kill their prey.]]
* Burakumin -- Japanese Necromancers.
* Calacas -- An erudite Mexican bloodline that [[ISeeDeadPeople specializes in dealing with ghosts]].
* Caporetti -- [[TunnelKing Tunneling]] Haunts that look like [[AnIcePerson frozen corpses]] and give off a supernatural chill. They are [[LightningBruiser also terrifyingly fast.]]
* The Cockscomb Society -- [[TheWoobie The girls and guys]] of this bloodline [[AngstWhatAngst maintain an upbeat demeanour]] and [[WhatMeasureIsANonCute try to be socially active in spite of their clan's condition.]]
* Galloi -- Androgynous adherents of Cybele who [[BloodBath bathe in blood]] to become beautiful. It works ''[[SoBeautifulItsACurse way]]'' too well.
* Noctuku -- [[ImAHumanitarian Savage cannibals]]. While a normal vampire's drive to feed on blood is stronger then a heroin addiction, this bloodline experiences an even stronger urge to [[NightmareFuel eat the meat of other vampires]].
* Mayarap -- [[TheAtoner Buddhist Vampire Monks]] with a snake-motif from Thailand's First Kingdom. [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot They're often skilled in Muay Thai, have been violent criminals when mortal and have their clan's invisibility powers.]] Follow a BlueAndOrangeMorality that is bizarre by Kindred standards.
* Morotrophians -- Shut-ins who can control almost every aspect of the institutions they inhabit.
* Order Of St Martin -- Originally a [[KnightTemplar Crusading Order]] [[KnightInShiningArmor Of Knightly Lepers]] now a loose network of, rightfully, distrusted hired thugs,[[NeverLiveItDown with leprosy.]]
* Rakshasha -- Truly monstrous Indian Kindred who believe themselves descended from the [[HinduMythology same named demons.]]
* House Telamones -- Sinister architects of {{elaborate underground base}}s, they take the job of James Bond Supervillain Goon and run with it as far as inhumanly possible, going so far as to build identical clones of the bloodline's leaders in case of assassination.

* TheBaroness -- Female Ventrue, usually, give off this vibe, but by no means an archetype.
* TheBeastmaster -- Animalism, one their core disciplines.
* BondageIsBad -- The clan has no ties to bondage itself, but since [[HypnoticEyes Dominate]] correlates to... you know ''[[FetishFuel Domination]]'', it's been mixed into some official artwork, and there's a character in their clanbook bluntly called The {{Dominatrix}}. You get the idea.
* TheCaligula -- It's quite easy for them to become one to the point that every Clan Bloodline is a variation of this trope.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience -- Purple and gold, according to the Florentine Kindred dress code. Interestingly, purple is usually associated with {{pride}}. The Mexican Kidred consider red their color.

* DemonicPossession -- Both Animalism and Dominate allow them to possess animals and humans, respectively.

* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen -- Well, if you have a female Ventrue as a Prince (especially if she belongs to the [[DeadlyDecadentCourt Invictus]]), she'll most likely be this.
* HypnoticEyes -- Dominate, their signature Discipline.
** {{Brainwashed}} -- What happens when they use it on someone...
*** ...And one of the main sources of FetishFuel of the clan by far.
** EmptyShell -- The (less than desirable) side effect of using it too much (on mortals, though).
* [[IronLady Iron Ladies]] -- Female Ventrue can be epic powered bitches that even [[TheDevilWearsPrada Miranda Priestly]] would tremble before.
* MadeOfIron -- Resilence, one of their core Disciplines, makes them really hard to kill.
* {{Magnificent Bastard}}s -- They tend to see themselves as this, and about half of them actually are.
* {{Manipulative Bastard}}s -- Just as much as the Daeva, but they seem to be less subtle.

* {{Rich Bitch}}es -- Yes, they're filthy rich and yes, they're better than you.

* {{Smug Snake}}s -- The other half who can't pull off the MagnificentBastard ideal.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal -- Animalism grants them the ability to talk to animals.
* StoneWall -- Just because their only "physical" Discipline is Resilence.

* VampiresAreRich -- Main source of Embraces are rich people, and due to Dominate, the ones that aren't soon become so - if they want.
* WickedCultured -- Most of them.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity -- Their weakness.

* Architects of the Monolith -- Vampires with powers related to cities. Able to play with traffic lights or imprison a victim inside the city limits.
* Bron -- Arthurian themed Vampires cursed by the Holy Grail to become literal [[FisherKing Fisher Kings]] in their own realms.
* Deucalion -- Skinhead vampires that exploit the weaknesses of other clans with the power of hate. Rarely able to master this power as the highest level turns their racist bigotry against their own clan.
* Dragolescu -- Ghost controllers and consumers who have a long history in the Ordo Dracul -- and not all of it good, as the bloodline's currently on the outs, partially because their founder went a bit nutty and started fanboying for Hitler before he was destroyed.
* Gorgons -- Claim to be descended from the original Gorgons of Greek myth, Gorgons slowly transform into SnakePeople as they grow more powerful.
* Malkavian/Markovian -- {{Spiritual Successor}}s to the Masquerade's Malkavian clan. Both bloodlines are incurably insane and will cause insanity in others. Can have a bizarre effect on reality, or at least appear to.
* Macellarius -- AffablyEvil obese gourmet vampires, who are compelled to draw Vitae from meat, but cannot keep it down. Their enormous feasts are famed for the disgusting aftermath...
* Melissidae -- Bee-themed Vampires that are walking NightmareFuel. Their bodies are used as hives for swarms of bees and they produce a honey-like Vitae that will enslave any mortal or Kindred to the bloodline's HiveMind. In the distant past the rest of Kindred society held a universal truce that was honored by all factions in order to hunt the bloodline to extinction before it could enslave the whole world. The holocaust was not as successful as the Kindred believed and a few members of this bloodline are still at large.
* Nahuali -- Aztec themed Vampires who try and find a balance between their human and bestial sides. Unique in that their clan's unique discipline only has four dots, as their founder was killed before he could finish it.
* Rotgrafen -- Vampiric viking pirates who revere Loki and fear fire.
* Sotoha -- [[EverythingsBetterWithSamurai Samurai]] [[OccidentalOtaku who are noted to be mostly white Japanophiles]].

* OurGhostsAreDifferent: The key to creating a Hollow Mekhet is Embracing someone who was going to leave a ghost in the normal course of events (ie, traumatic death, connection to life, all that jazz). For their parts, Reflections are similar to ghosts who have de

Their [[{{Sourcebook}} clanbook]] introduces the [[SecretCircleOfSecrets Shadow Cults]], which serves to emphasize the mage thing, but they're [[NotThatKindOfMage Not That Kind Of]] '''[[MageTheAwakening Mage]]'''. It also introduces the possibility of Mekhet being able to [[BackFromTheDead embrace mortals after a few days of their actual death]], but these individuals, instead of having the traditional extra flammability, have a [[EvilTwin Hollow Mekhet]] that try to ruin their unlife in every possible way.

* EvilTwin -- The Hollow Mekhet.

* GlamourFailure -- The Mekhet embraced after their deaths don't have ''Ka'', the [[AnatomyOfTheSoul Soul of Sustenance]], which, by the way, became the [[EvilTwin Hollow Mekhet]]. Because of this they have no reflection nor shadow and their voices and images cannot be recorded by any mortal technology.

The Nosferatu [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel embody the nightmares]] of the Damned. There's always [[UncannyValley something unsettling about them]]. It can be their voices, their smell or even [[CameBackWrong their very souls]] - regardless, the Nosferatu are really hard to like. The Haunts are always [[FantasticRacism shunned or at least tolerated]] by the other vampires, the price for being aliens among their own kind. They counterbalance this with considerable strength, espionage mastery (rivaled only by the Mekhet) and sheer horror. As much as the other clans would like, they won't and CANNOT be ignored (unless they want to, of course).

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel -- Their whole concept, really, and to make it worse their signature Discipline is called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Nightmare]].

* Melissidae -- Bee-themed Vampires that are walking HighOctaneNightmareFuel. Their bodies are used as hives for swarms of bees and they produce a honey-like Vitae that will enslave any mortal or Kindred to the bloodline's HiveMind. In the distant past the rest of Kindred society held a universal truce that was honored by all factions in order to hunt the bloodline to extinction before it could enslave the whole world. The holocaust was not as successful as the Kindred believed and a few members of this bloodline are still at large.

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience -- Red and gold, according to the Florentine Kindred dress code.

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience - Red and brown, according to the Florentine Kindred dress code. Probably a nod to their beastly streak and earthy personalities.

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience -- Indigo and silver, according to the Florentine Kindred dress code. Strangely, black, a fitting color for the Clan, goes to the Nosferatu.

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience -- Black and green, according to the Florentine Kindred dress code.

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience -- Purple and gold, according to the Florentine Kindred dress code. Interestingly, purple is usually associated with {{pride}}.

* TheDoctorDolittle -- Animalism grants them the ability to talk to animals.

* TheDoctorDolittle -- Animalism grants them the ability to talk to animals.

* TheThreeFacesOfAdam -- Men in the Circle take on ritualized aspects just like the women, such as the Hero (the questing champion), the Father (the writer of laws), and the Hermit (the bastion of knowledge).

The Daeva are [[EvilIsSexy sexy]], [[EvilIsCool passionate]], and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]]. They embody and cultivate the image of the [[VampiresAreSexGods sensual vampire]] which is a great way to [[BitchInSheepsClothing conceal their true natures]]. And to add insult to the injury they are more than [[BadAss capable of kicking your ugly ass]]. The truth is that behind their [[TheBeautifulPeople beautiful facade]] lies a [[HorrorHunger hungry]] and {{lust}}ful creature that is, gradually, [[TheSoulless losing its soul]].

* TheBeautifulPeople -- {{Deconstructed}}.

** {{Estrogen Brigade Bait}}s -- Potentially EVERY male Daeva.

** XanatosSucker

** XanatosRoulette
** XanatosGilligan

* PlaceOfPower -- They regularly seek out "Wyrm's Nests", places where there's high weirdness afoot. Mind you, this often leads them to [[WerewolfTheForsaken Loci]], [[MageTheAwakening Hallows]], and [[GeistTheSinEaters Haunts]]...

* HotWitch -- The core rule book states that the Daeva are not inclined to join the Circle, but the number of Daeva found in the covenent in ''WorldOfDarkness'' fiction is quite staggering. They do [[AvertedTrope avert]] the BeautyEqualsGoodness part, though.

* AlwaysChaoticEvil -- Not unique in ''WorldOfDarkness'' terms in this respect but the only real rule for using them is that they are nothing but this trope. The weakness for the Akhud clan is similar to the [[EvilSorcerer Tremere]] in Old [=WoD=] where MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch types can't fight against their peers. Unlike the Tremere version this is inherent to their blood and applies to mortal descendants of their founder.

** ThirtyXanatosPileup

Notable Nosferartu Bloodlines:

* DarkChick to the [[FiveBadBand Five Bad Clans]]
** AlternateCharacterInterpretation casts them as TheDragon

* TheBrute to the [[FiveBadBand Five Bad Clans]]

* The EvilGenius to the [[FiveBadBand Five Bad Clans]]

* TheDragon to the [[FiveBadBand Five Bad Clans]]

* BigBad to the five clans.
** [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation They can also be viewed as]] {{Evil Genius}}es.

* BondageIsBad -- The clan has no ties to bondage itself, but since [[HypnoticEyes Dominate]] correlates to... you know ''[[FetishFuel Domination]]'', it's been mixed into some official artwork, and there's a character in their clanbook bluntly called The {{Dominatrix}}. [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean You get the idea]].
