Fallen Angels

by Andrew Cram (19 Oct 94)

Nicknames: Angels, Demons

Parent clan: Caitiff (Pander antitribu)

Organization: Camarilla

Status: Greater Bloodline

The Fallen Angel Bloodline was founded less than a decade ago by an
enigmatic Pander antitribu in Seattle. In the few years since it has spread
throughout the America's and Australia but has yet to reach Europe.

This bloodline is causing much concern in vampiric society, rumors abound
that they are the pawns of the Setites, Baali or something far worse. It's
members however have not done anything that would support these rumors,
indeed the Angels are the less violent and 'evil' of Vampires often helping
to protect mortals in danger.

All members of this bloodline are male, they are also all members of the
Camarilla (Although unconfirmed reports indicate at least one kindred of
similar appearance and abilities in the Sabbat) and are pushing for full
Clan status including their own Justicar.

Appearance: Angels have a unique appearance. All have a rating of 5 in
appearance due to extensive use of Vicissitude, Black and Gold eyes
(Serpentis) and Bat wings extending from their backs (Viceratika). Many are
also completely hairless, although some have very long hair. They wear
either jeans and little else or stylishly tailored suits with large coats or
capes.

Haven: Angels have shown no prefered havens with as many living in the
sewers as in penthouses.

Backgrounds: Most recruits are in their twenties, typically university
students.

Character creation: Most Angels come from mainstream backgrounds and are
most typically either visionaries or caregivers. Social attributes are
usually primary as are knowledges.

Clan disciplines: Sanguinus, Serpentis, Viceratika. Most also learn
Vicissitude. (Must start with at least one dot in Serpentis and Viceratika)

Weaknesses: The Angels primary weakness there appearance. Their extensive
use of Vicissitude is also starting to have an effect on the mental
stability of some angels. They are unable to feed from female humans.

Organization: It is unclear exactly what structure this bloodline maintains
although the founder is still thought to be in control. The Tremere whisper
that all members of the clan are bloodbound to each other although most
doubt these claims. All Angels within a given city seem to be equal with the
oldest acting as a kind of spokesman.

Gaining clan prestige: The easiest ways to gain prestige is to gather
personal power, and to spread the clans influence and status. Less
straightforward is the aiding of select mortals or defeating the plans of
the clans enemies.

Quote: "Me, a demon, don't be ridiculous, I'm just here to help. Now what
would you do to look a million dollars?"

Stereotypes:

Brujah:
        o "Interesting little kindred, pretend to support their revolution
          but do nothing"
Gangrel:
        o "Kindred spirits, give them help when they need it and don't
          bother them when they don't"
Malkavian:
        o "Steer clear lest there madness rub off on us. Still there is
          something terribly human about them."
Nosferatu:
        o "Look beyond the surface, these kindred are the most honest of the
          lot. They will be valuable allies, help them whenever possible but
          do NOT offer to fix their looks."
Toreador:
        o "They often find us living art - treat them well"
Tremere:
        o "They are our main opponents, don't give them an excuse to assault
          us. Support those who oppose them but don't do anything directly,
          YET.
Ventrue:
        o "The sects leaders are adequate, they do not threaten us and they
          may one day actually help us"
Caitiff:
        o "Our little brothers. Remember they are our roots but we will not
          go back. Recruit those that are worthy, do not get involved with
          those that are not.
Assamites:
        o "Professionals, don't get in their way, but if you do fight them,
          do it well"
Children of Osiris:
        o "To far seperated from humanity but otherwise we have no problem
          with them."
Giovanni:
        o "The death cultists tread a fine line; try and keep them from
          falling to the darkness but don't get involved financially"
Ravnos:
        o "These kindred have no value, ignore them if you can, destroy them
          if you must"
Salubri:
        o "Hunted to near extinction by the Tremere, protect any you
          encounter but do not allow anyone outside the clan to know about
          it."
Setites:
        o "Nearly as evil as is possible -- destroy any follower of Set you
          find. The Serpents of Light, however, may be useful."
Lupines:
        o "The easy answer is to avoid our furred brothers - you've got
          wings, use them. The Tribe known as the Black Spiral Dansers are
          demon spawn - do not hesitate to destroy them and make sure the
          other tribes know who is responsible"
Mages:
        o "No comment."
