History Characters / VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlinesOthers

{{Youkai}}: He's modeled after the Samebito, a shark yokai.

* BerserkButton: Two big ones: Vampires, and burning down a forest. Almost all Garou are InHarmonyWithNature, and they have a deep, bitter feud with vampires so its a rare night when they're in any sort of mood to converse before dusting them. So you can guess how...unhappy it is when it emerges from its very-much burning forest and sees the pair of vampires that may be responsible.

* UnstoppableRage: Its home was lit on fire, putting it and Nature at risk at the same time, it just found two vampires at the scene and it and its friend are in ''Crinos form''. Diplomacy was never an option.

* OneWingedAngel: As soon as the battle begins he sheds his human form and takes his Warform. This also is very typical for Rokea, who prefer their Warforms outside of absolute necessity. [[spoiler:In fact, given that he's first encountered in a Masquerade zone, as opposed to Elysium, it's very possible to just knife him in his puny human form if you figure out who he is early enough]].

* SharkMan[=/=]{{Youkai}}: He's modeled after the Samebito, a shark demon.

* MismatchedEyes: Probably as a MarkOfTheSupernatural or RedRightHand clue.

* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: During the last part of the game, one of her caller happens to be a ConspiracyTheorist who proceeds to blame everything happening in the city on a hidden vampire society, basically spelling out the main events of the story.
* DeadpanSnarker: Responds to all of her caller's crazy ideas with sarcasm.

* PunnyName: On "the dead of night."

A werewolf inhabiting Griffith Park, of indeterminate age and gender, and the last "boss" you encounter before the endgame. When its habitat is set on fire during a peace summit with Nines, it gets [[{{Understatement}} somewhat cross]], and you just so happen to be the closest available outlet for its rage. Lucky you.

A thirteenth generation vampire who transformed Lily. He is a German vampire who emigrated to the United States, but had to return to Europe again because his visa expired.

* TheGhost: We never see him, and we only know him from his bail information and Lilly's diary.
* UngratefulBastard: He leaves Lilly after she paid his bail to get him out of jail.

* ShoutOut: Not confirmed canonically, but his name and the morbid nature of his work *may* be Shout-Outs to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ox-Head_and_Horse-Face Ox Head]], a {{Psychopomp}} from Chinese mythology.

* DrivenToSuicide: While not out right stated, the killer had murdered his kids and then his wife, believing the wife was cheating on him with someone else. The last moments recorded in the [[ApocalypticLog diary]] have her hiding in fear in a bathroom after seeing him soaked in blood, but nothing is mentioned about the fire and the diary is found in the kitchen. He may have read it after killing her, found out he killed his family and others over a misunderstanding and set flame to the place choosing to die with his family.

A werewolf inhabiting Griffith Park, of indeterminate age and gender, and the last 'boss' you encounter before the endgame. When its habitat is set on fire during a peace summit with Nines, it gets [[{{Understatement}} somewhat cross]], and you just so happen to be the closest available outlet for its rage. Lucky you.

* BeyondTheImpossible: Not only is there no in-game way to buff your defense high enough to survive long, this thing is so strong it can quickly kill you ''even if you have god mode on'',

* AllPowerfulBystander: Implied. Nobody knows exactly ''what'' he is (save a Malkavian PC, who's [[HorrifyingTheHorror too disturbed by the realization to say it outright]]) but he certainly isn't harmed by being shot at.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Definitely not a nice guy, but [[AffablyEvil unfailingly polite]], and appreciates the value of a competent minion (i.e. you). And the people he sends you after are [[PayEvilUntoEvil thieves and mobsters anyway.]]
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Given his behaviour, it's impossible to guess if he's human, vampire or something else.

* EvilOldFolks: ...''Probably''. It's not clear what he is exactly, but he definitely appears to be an old man, and the quests he gives you are shady, to say the least.

* TheUnreveal: Even though he displays a normal human aura if you use Auspex, he ''definitely'' isn't human - if you try to attack him, he just laughs at you and disappears in a puff of smoke. Just ''what'' the hell is he, exactly? You never find out.

A werewolf inhabiting Griffith Park, of indeterminate age and gender, and the last 'boss' you encounter before the endgame. When its habitat is set on fire during a peace summit with Nines, it gets somewhat cross, and you just so happen to be the closest available outlet for its rage. Lucky you.

* BerserkButton: Burning down a forest. Almost all Garou are InHarmonyWithNature, and if a vampire is involved, they won't even bother to ask why.

* AllThereInTheManual: [[TabletopGame/WraithTheOblivion]] suggests what the Voermans want with the amulet. [[spoiler: The item would be a fetter of both husband and wife, something that binds them to the world of the living. If the Voermans give it to one of the wife's relatives for safekeeping, or simply destroy it, it's likely that the husband would be banished from the mortal realm, and possibly the wife as well.]]

The ghosts of an aggressive serial killer who haunts the old abandoned Ocean House Hotel, and the ghost of his wife (one of his victims).

* AnAxeToGrind: The killer committed several murders with an axe in the hotel, including his family. When the PC explores the haunted hotel, the killer's ghost can be spotted several times - and he still has the axe.

* EtherealWhiteDress: The wife of the serial killer, who acts as your guide at several places during the level.

* NothingIsScarier: Their ''entire level'' runs on this. The serial killer's ghost stalks you, but never directly fights you, only harming you through poltergeist-like activities such as falling elevators or flying objects, [[spoiler:and [[TheUnfought doesn't even show up as a final boss at the end]]]]. If anything, it makes the level all the creepier.

* GreenEyedMonster: The whole killer's motivations seeming come from him believing his wife is cheating on him and the amulet she is wearing is a gift from her lover. In actuality it's from her mother, which he doesn't believe, leading to him snapping with [[IfICantHaveYou the results shown.]]
* NothingIsScarier: Their ''entire level'' runs on this. The serial killer's ghost stalks you, but never directly fight you, only harming you through poltergeist-like activities such as falling elevators or flying objects, [[spoiler:and [[TheUnfought doesn't even show up as a final boss at the end]]]]. If anything, it makes the level all the creepier.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: They both seem to be immaterial and can teleport or become invisible. The woman tries to help the PC (by showing the way), and the man tries to frighten and kill the PC.

* WomanInWhite: The wife of the serial killer, which is your guide at several places during the level.

A werewolf inhabiting Griffith Park, of indeterminate age and gender, and the last 'boss' you encounter before the endgame. When its habitat is set on fire during a peace summit with Nine], it gets somewhat cross, and you just so happen to be the closest available outlet for its rage. Lucky you.

* UnstoppableRage: Its home was lit on fire, putting it and Nature at risk at the same time, it just found two vampires at the scene and it and its friend are in ''Crios form''. Diplomacy was never an option.

[[folder:Spoiler character]]

[[spoiler:A werewolf]] inhabiting Griffith Park, of indeterminate age and gender, and the last 'boss' you encounter before the endgame. When its habitat is set on fire during [[spoiler:a peace summit with Nines]], it gets somewhat cross, and you just so happen to be the closest available outlet for its rage. Lucky you.

* TheDreaded: [[spoiler:Nines]] is terrified of the prospect of facing one. [[spoiler:Although, as later events show, he handled the other werewolf that came after him well enough.]]
* FurAgainstFang: An individual battle, though as [[spoiler:Nines]] reveals it's endemic to the setting. Staying in its territory was crazy, which was why nobody expected him to be hiding there.
* GuideDangIt: [[spoiler:It is actually possible to defeat it, though it requires activating a series of switches you probably won't be looking for in your mad dash to escape and then using yourself as bait to catch it between the observatory's shutters.]]
* HoldTheLine: Well, not so much 'hold the line' as [[{{Metaphorgotten}} 'run away from the big bad line that wants to tear you to pieces']], but you have four minutes in which you need to stay alive before the tram returns.
* ImplacableMan: It cannot be bargained with. It cannot be reasoned with. And it absolutely will not stop, ''ever'', until you are dead. Or escape. [[spoiler:Or use an out-of-the-way, scripted event to deal with it.]]

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: [[spoiler:Classic ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse'' Garou in [[UnstoppableRage Crinos]], acting like they typically do against vampires.]]
* NighInvulnerable: The game is coded so you can't hurt it. [[spoiler:Though Nines certainly could, and you can inflict an instant kill on it yourself by figuring out a puzzle.]]
* NormalFishInATinyPond: [[spoiler:Actually killing it reveals it stays in Crinos]], which means it's actually a Metis, one of the ''weakest'' kinds of [[spoiler:Werewolf and also explaining why it's not part of a pack. Same goes for the one killed by Nines]]. This is mostly in line with their respective power levels in the ''World of Darkness'' games.

* PuzzleBoss: The point isn't to fight it so much as to figure out how to keep yourself alive until the time runs out. [[spoiler:Or how to trap it and crush it.]]
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: Defied; you have the option to suggest simply telling [[spoiler:the Werewolves]] you aren't [[spoiler:responsible for lighting a fire on their territory]] to Nines, but he immediately clarifies that this won't work; [[spoiler:Werewolves]] hate vampires way too much to care about such details, let alone listen about any explanation you might have.

* AncientEvil[=/=]SealedEvilInACan: The various speculations on its content agree that it is likely extremely dangerous. [[spoiler:It turns out to contain [[StuffBlowingUp a much more mundane peril]] once opened.]]

* [[spoiler:HaveANiceDeath: Opening the sarcophagus reveals a happy missive from Jack, complete with HaveANiceDaySmile.]]

* [[spoiler:StuffBlowingUp: Jack emptied the Sarcophagus of its occupant and crammed it full of C4, leaving a seconds-short timer to trigger the explosion upon its opening. [=LaCroix=] and/or the player character meet their end that way in the Anarch, Independent and [=LaCroix=] endings.]]
* YourSoulIsMine: The main appeal of opening it, should the "elder vampire" hypothesis prove true: their blood and then their soul could be drained through the practice of Diablerie, thereby granting the perpetrator their power. Of course, that is assuming that the elder doesn't awaken first...
** Bruno Giovanni believes in a different version of this plan: he is convinced that the Sarcophagus contains an untold number of souls, an incredibly useful resource for his family's [[{{Necromancer}} necromantic]] rituals.

-->Hello, Lin. Do you like it here?

* PropheciesAreAlwaysRight: Shortly after you place the Bad Luck Charm in the target's locker, said target promptly appears and gets into an argument that ends with you being forced to kill him - exactly as Ox intended.
** OffTheRails: If you're a Malkavian or a Ventrue, you can derail this plan by mind-controlling the target into leaving as soon as he finds you. Nosferatu can also avoid violence by scaring him away. Or you can just leave the building he's in. [[DevelopersForesight If you go back to Mr. Ox at this point, his response to the quest will be different, and a little disappointed.]]

* AnAxeToGrind[=/=]AxCrazy: The killer committed several murders with an axe in the hotel, including his family. When the PC explores the haunted hotel, the killer's ghost can be spotted several times - and he still has the axe.

* HaveANiceDeath: Opening the sarcophagus reveals a happy missive from Jack, complete with HaveANiceDaySmile.
