RPG set in the world of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.

Page description

This RPG is set in the Vampire: The Masquerade, based on the World of Darkness. The World of Darkness is dark, gothic-punk interpretation version of the modern world where Vampires, werewolves, mages and more lurk in the shadows - engaged in secret wars and Machiavellian schemes. Vampires are one of the three main supernatural races in the World of Darkness. Kindred is the most common euphemism for a vampire. However, the term is mostly used by vampires who strive to maintain their Humanity. On the other hand, Sabbat vampires prefer the term 'Cainite' to refer to themselves - as many of them believe that the vampiric curse originated with the biblical Cain, after he murdered his brother, Abel. The term "kine" (i.e. "cattle") is the opposite of Kindred, and refers to human population.

Kindred is the most common euphemism for a vampire. However, the term is used by vampires who strive to maintain their Humanity. Sabbat vampires prefer the term Cainite to refer to themselves, as many of them believe that the vampiric curse originated with the biblical Cain, after he murdered his brother, Abel. Vampires use blood, also called Vitae, which replaces most bodily fluids, so vampires will cry blood and sweat blood. Blood is also used to get up and move; every night, vampires expend a certain amount of blood to rise. Vampires use Vitae to enhance their physical attributes, use supernatural powers called Disciplines, to Embrace, create Ghouls and to heal damage. Vampires can feed on other creatures, but don't enjoy the taste and older vampires will acquire no sustenance from it. The process of feeding is called the Kiss. Vampires don't have to completely drain a victim. Vampires can hide the puncture marks of feeding by licking the wounds. The Feeding process is highly pleasurable for vampires and victims. Vampires are incapable of eating food, they have no need for sex although they can imitate the physical reactions for sex if needed and will even feel pleasure from it. Once Embraced, vampires are locked into a form of stasis. This condition eventually extends to their mindsets. Vampires don't breathe and their hearts have stopped.

Most vampires live in cities, which are run feudally by the Princes; life in a city is one of constant political manipulation and paranoia, as the Cainites vie for food, territory, and power. But while they must dwell in close contact with their source of sustenance, vampires largely fear the exposure to the mortal world, and since the Inquisition the majority of these creatures have lived under the Masquerade, an enforced campaign to hide their supernatural existences from humanity.

Vampiric societies consist of two levels: sects and clans. Kindred within the Vampire world are members of one of the 13th clans or minor bloodlines offered, and usually belong to factions associated with these or that reflect a general ideological stance the characters happen to share. There are 13 major clans, founded by an Antediluvian, a member of the mythical Third Generation. The major clans are Clan Banu Haqim (formerly Assamite), Clan Brujah, Clan Gangrel,Clan Hecata, Clan Lasombra, Clan Malkavian, Clan Ministry (formerly Followers of Set), Clan Nosferatu, Clan Ravnos, Clan Toreador, Clan Tremere, Clan Tzimisce and Clan Ventrue. Some clans and most of the minor bloodlines declare themselves independent from any sects. While the Kuei-jin, also known as the Kindred of the East, share some superficial similarity to the western vampires, but they are actually an entirely different variety of supernatural beings. The vast majority of vampires in the world are ancillae or neonates.

The Camarilla dominates Kindred society, enforcing harsh rules to uphold the Masquerade. The thirteen clans vie for power and prestige, each with their own strengths, curse and agenda. Neonates must navigate this labyrinthine world of politics, or risk losing themselves to the Beast within.

Werewolves stand as Gaia's warriors, policing the borders between flesh and spirit. Five auspices mark each werewolf's role, united under ancient tribal laws. But old hatreds threaten to tear their alliance apart, even as strange spirits pour into our world.

Mages tap into cosmic truths through their dedication to an esoteric Path. Nine traditions gather under the Council of Nine Mystic Traditions, but dissent simmers as each faction has its own vision of Ascension. A wrong step could spell madness or worse.

Mortals, or Kine as the vampires call them, struggle in a world of darkness they cannot see - yet some few have the gift of uncanny perception. Investigators, hunters and the imbued may play a pivotal role in events to come.
