Nosferatu
 | Described as the “Sewer rats” the cursed Nosferatu function as the spies of the vampiric world. Due to their horrid cursed shapes, the Nosferatu cannot walk amongst mortals as other vampires can, and instead hide inside catacombs and sewers to avoid being seen. Over the ages, the Nosferatu have thusly become experts when it comes to hiding in the shadows. And of course, while you’re there, you tend to hear a thing or two... Disciplines: Animalism, Potence, Obfuscate Nickname: Sewer rats |
Dark Ages
The
dark ages were unforgiving for many fledglings among the Nosferatu.
With their hideous appearances, they were the most obvious targets for
the Crusaders who wanted nothing more then to stake vampiric hearts.
However, many Nosferatu thrived in this age. With the constant Jihad
going on and Crusaders after the ass of every vampire, the Nosferatu
had a nack for appearing before Ventrue princes right when the vampire
hunters were on his trail and giving the prince the information needed
to escape from them….for the right price of course, I mean why not
profit from a natural talent for eavesdropping?
Modern Days
Being
the stuff humans only see in horror movies, the nossies couldn’t very
much walk the streets at night could they? Fortunally, those same
humans created the perfect hiding spot! The sewers. Found in every city
and easiest place in the world to hide. And from there the Nosferatu
deal with their Camarilla friends, most notably the local prince. Most
princes would not crawl through sewers if all the money in the world
was hidden there, but the Nosferatu are masters of their trade, and
every good Ventrue knows one cannot win a war easilly////without
dealing with the sewer rats.
Embraces
The
Nosferatu take in particulair joy from embracing just the right type of
individual. These will be individuals who have everything to gain from
being embraces into clan Nosferatu and little to lose. Ofcourse there
are Nosferatu who act out of spite against the beautiful and the vain,
and embrace these into the night simply for the reason of "teaching
them a lesson".
Havens
The
sewers are the best friends of the Nosferatu. Here they can hide their
grotesque visage from the above world, while of course conviently
meeting up with his/her local clanmates to exchange the latest juicy
gossip.
As a clan
Ages
of persecution and resentment has fostered deep bonds between the
Nosferatu. Unlike many other clans, most Nosferatu work together to
keep themselves secret and safe, treating each other with politeness
and respect, while of course exchanging the latest information.
Strength
While
the Nosferatu’s body may be twisted, it is not broken. By far,
Nosferatu are among the physically stronger vampires. Their greatest
strength however, lies in the Nosferatu mastery of the Obfuscate
Discipline, which allows them to move around unseen.
Weakness
The
Nosferatu are so monstrous in appearance that they break the rules of
the Masquerade even by just showing their wretched selves to kine.
