Again, all credit for this goes to Squeak. Without this it'd be near impossible to come up with all this. Domo Arigatou!
Vampire Clans
(Note: The Mother of darkness AKA Queen of nightmares is in a state of torpor. The Queen is the mother of all vampires and from her descends the various lineage’s. Somehow each was able to have their own specific powers or talents. She is the ultimate power and authority and will not be played or npc’d)
Clanless:
The Clanless are the most prevalent and rivaled barely by the belle morte’s. This is due in large part to either dilution or the fact that their own le Sourdre deSang was killed. In this only the strong moderates would have survived. But if they became blood oathed to another and bound to a Master that was a sourdre de Sang there is a chance of new talents developing. There is also the possibility of many stray vagabonds embracing others and diluting as stated before. Feel free to try and develop your own line of powers here. Even up to if one became a master or even a le sourdre de sang. It will be at admin. discretion but you will be given full credit for it.
Belle Morte’s:
Belle Morte’s are presently the most common due to Belle Morte herself sending them out in to the world telling them to populate. As of current times she is seen as the figure head of the council.. With the Belle Mortes it is all about lust or sexual appeal and beauty. They are finicky in their choices of whom to embrace and bring over, more so then any other line. They are the very embodiment of seduction, intrigue, and coercion. They excel in the ability to mind roll, and feed off of lust and all its connotations. A Belle Mortes mind roll while engaged in feeding will at the very least feel like hours and hours of really great foreplay. Not all are able to complete or bring their chosen victim to full orgasm as that is a very rare talent. Not even Jean Claude was able to, only Asher, even though Jean Claude possessed the Arduer.
Morte d’ Amore’s:
Ah the rotters. Morte d’Amore was once the head council figure just as the Queen of nightmares was before him though both had become jaded and went in to reclusion from the constant power struggles of such droll business. Due to this most of the rotters are much older. They are some of the most reviled of all vampires, for they can rot to almost bare bones and slough off their flesh like blackened moldy goo. They possess a mighty weapon. That of the necrotic bite. In this they are able to spread corruption much like an incredibly fast flesh eating disease. It in turn, rots the flesh off that chosen victim and can only be stopped by that Morte d amore or a Master of equal or higher power quaffing the tainted blood of that victim and in turn taking it upon themselves and healing themselves. Like the Moras they roll in the luxurious fear that they can create and even learn to sup at it though it is not half as satisfying for them as it is for the Moras.
Moras:
These are the night Hags, the moras. They induce an aura of fear everywhere they go. When concentrating they are able to reduce even some of the strongest to sobbing pitiful creatures. Their power hones innately upon a persons greatest fears and sometimes phobias. Playing them out as the victim roils in its own agonizing visions of their greatest fear come to life. Masters of this line are able to transpose blood feedings for the ability to gain energy from drinking at another’s fear much like the Belle Morte’s can with lust. These are very uncommon indeed and in the books the Le Sourdre de Sang has yet to be given a name other then ‘She-who-made-me’. They are the most learned of the mind tricks as it is an intristic trait hinged entirely upon being able to get the information of a persons greatest fear, mind rolling them enough to really believe they are apart of that illusion crafted and then expounding that fear. In this the saying of “scared to death” holds so much more meaning. As that and the fact that their fear was like a drug to that vampire. They also are incredibly old and very rare.
Dragons:
Rage. Rage is the pertinent word when dealing with any of the dragons line. It is the very emotion elicited and often times they are connected with the warriors that were known for the blood thirst of war. Gladiators, berserkers, all were the things that the Dragons craved. Genghis Khan was probably a prime candidate here. They are able to feed off the violence they create and wreck. Their Le Sourdre de Sang was able to sup at the very core of the cold calculated rage or violence that the victim had. Increasing it and adding to it only to feed from it. And to think the Dragon is a woman. Perhaps some connections to the amazons? Who knows.

Vampire Levels
Vampires are often thought of as the romantic, dark, creatures that are misunderstood. They are anything but. Able to wield might, power, and magic, Vampires are anything but some whimsical creature of folklore’s romanticism. They are creatures of the Night and all that might encompasses. Your character as a vampire has the possibilities to become highly touted as a fierce nemesis that might eventually very well come to challenge for its own seat on the Vampire council.
This is not just something that can be just learned but is acquired through the age and growth of your vampire. It has to not only grow in its powers, but learn how to control that power and the full scope of that potential. This alone can take centuries, however there are freak occurrences of simple years passing for a vampire to graduate levels. Please understand that in role-play this is the ultimate power creature and as such it will take time to ascend in levels. Do not be discouraged though, as you are always welcome to petition with posts on our boards for your characters leveling by scripting proof of your characters possible ascension and why you feel your character should be leveled.
(**Note** All vampires under the levels of Master will still need the umbrella protection of a Master, if not the Master of the City themselves. Your healing will come by the strength they chose to share with you if you are seriously injured. There are many advantages to being sworn under them.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fledgling:
A Fledgling is a newly embraced vampire. This is a pivotal period in the young Vampires growth. Here he learns what it means to hunt. How to accept the animalistic side of his own bestial nature. The power that the sun holds in sway over them. The Euphoria and restraint of their feeding frenzies. Also the Hierarchy of the vampires “kiss” (clan or city wide group). This is an adjustment period and is not normally very long for the players character.
Prodigy:
(protege: Male.. Protegee: Female)
Here the vampire has gained a basic understanding of how to fend for itself. It is learning the most important tool at its disposal, Mesmerize. Though they are still under the tutelage of their Master. The length of this level is dependent upon the players activity and own cunning. It is wholly possible to learn this in a few months and completely level up. Though be aware that for role-play reasons and feasibility this is seen as a passing of years. Also the Character that is able to surmount this rapidly is the shining pupil and also a new rising foe seen as a possible barricade for those already in power. It is completely feasible for a Master to place a barrier or hold back this character if it rises too fast and has potential to overcome a Master, or vie for that Masters position.
Moderate: (Mod)
This is where your character really gets in to the thick of it. You are learning the powers of your bloodline and exploring your nature in its full potential. You are now understanding the subterfuge and politics of the vampire society. Its a game of chess and you are no longer just the pawn. Able to control your frenzied lust for blood, and yet when you sink in to the blood lust you might wreak a path of unrealized carnage. The Lure for more the hunger for knowledge will set in. This is a place that many might never ascend beyond but that does not mean that you will be overlooked or even be a force to be reckoned with. This will take many rt months or more to move beyond so be ready to sport with more then just one script and example of your learned knowledge here. Also be ready to become a target by even your own creator here if you are able. (Note: some may well take an rt year to advance this character so yes the admin will be superiority picking in giving its approval to advance beyond in anything less.)
Old Moderate: (St Mod)
This is the ultimate Highest level for vampires that are not going to ascend to the level of Master. This is a vampire that is anywhere from 50 to 100 years old. Here is where they learn the potency of their blood lines. If you are a Clanless vamp you are welcome to design your own new talents or ability at Admin. discretion. As a hint if you do this then your Clanless will have talents that are unheard of by others and this will put you in a new position of being underestimated by those of a chosen blood line. Its a new weapon to your already impressive arsenal to use in carving out your own niche in all societies at large.
Master:
A Master vampire is a force to be reckoned with, through hard work and perseverance they have learned that integral dance to survive and not be culled by their own progenitor. . They no longer need that extra strength for serious injuries provided by a Master for they are that fount of strength. All lessers under you are sustained in a mystical bond that feeds you and you in turn sustain them. This bond allows you to control their possibility for blood lust frenzies. At this level it is extremely rare to be younger then 75 and usually takes centuries to attain. They are the corner stones to any and all vampire societies.
Greater Master:
Greater Master Vampires are an enigma to behold. The power they reek of is truly great. This is nearly an impossible level and perhaps 20% of all vampire are ever able to attain or even survive to make it to this level. (**Note: This level will no longer be accepted in a new char sheet, it must be proven in RP that they are capable of pulling off this levels full potential) These vampires are the elite and skilled craftsman in cunning, subterfuge, and have fought to survive and attain this level. These are normally capable of taking over the MotC position and have full mastery of their bloodlines talents. They are not normally any younger then three centuries.
Master of the City:
Any Master Vampire can become a Master of the City. These positions are often taken by the greater masters as it is a death match to via for this position. As Master of the City you are the ultimate control of the cities vampires and the many business’ it has taken over, sometimes even heard in the government of the city council. Beyond that is the Vampire council and its ambassadors. An MotC will bind all of the cities vampires to it. It can normally sense any other Rouge Masters that enter the city or county, unless they are of an equal or higher level. They can link with vampires under telepathy and are able to glean energy from the ones below it. The more vamps in a city bound to the MotC the more formidable he is. His mind roll is almost undeterable able to effect whole crowds.
(**NOTE**: Anything above 600 years old is stuck at Strong Moderate. There will be no Masters allowed above 600 unless given Admin approval Unless for the sole purpose of advancing a story line or NPC.)
