Vampires

Vampires are the classic undead of myth and literature. Undying, semi-immortal creatures that stalk only at night, preying on living human beings whose blood they must drink to survive, they are bringers of both nightmares and fantasies. While few mortals know they exist and even fewer know much about them, they come in many different shapes and from many different sources, spreading all over the world to any place where there are mortals to feed from.

Indo-European Clans

Vampire society as most know it is centered around clans, genetically-related groups of vampires who pass their traits, skills, and powers on to others they create. Such clans often have goals and philosophies in common, and tend to be insular and likely to consider other clans threatening rather than to want to cooperate with them. In the grand political scheme of the Camarilla, the Indo-European clans are the most powerful and numerous, using centuries of political acumen and collective vision to shape the world around them.

African Clans

The African vampire clans, collectively referred to by their northern neighbors as the Laibon after the name they used in diplomatic negotiations during the Middle Ages, are entirely separate from their European kin. More firmly tied to and drawing power from their native lands, they have their own political societies and concerns and seldom allow northern vampires to do more than establish a foothold in their territories. Their powers reflect traditional African vampire lore, making them distinct as bloodlines even when they bear a passing resemblance to the Indo-European clans.

South American Clans

The South American vampire clans are elusive, living as they do mostly off of the indigenous peoples with whom they have a close bond and the fringes of large cities, seldom making their domains in the midst of the mortals. They are less centrally organized than the clans across the sea, preferring to each hold individual territories and kingdoms. Indo-European vampire society refers to the South American clans as the Drowned Legacies, considering them largely wiped out and powerless enough to ignore. They are incorrect, but seldom do any of them who intrude into the southern American territories survive to tell anyone else the truth.

Antitribu

Antitribu, or counter-clans, are those members of the main Indo-European clans who have rejected the complex political landscape of the rest of their clan and stand as the antithesis to their mainstream views and practices (often, though not always, as a result of membership in the Sabbat). While they technically have the same genetic powers and features as the clans proper, they often manifest in very different ways or give rise to strange mutations as a result of the wildly different ways that they use their powers and interact with the world. It is possible for antitribu to become "regular" members of their clan and vice versa, but it is uncommon due to the extreme prejudice on both sides.

Indo-European Bloodlines

The Indo-European clans have given rise to a number of bloodlines, smaller groups of vampires that have developed unique features and powers as a group that differ from the regular clan's. Most bloodlines are still identifiably related to the clan that gave rise to them and often represent cultural differences in different parts of the world. Because of their comparative rarity, most vampires from bloodlines have a hard time rising to political power or being taken seriously as a group, even to the point that most vampires of the major clans remain unaware of the existence of the majority of bloodlines.

African Bloodlines

The African bloodlines, on the other hand, represent groups of vampires whose ecological niches and connection to their homelands has been damaged, most often as a result of European colonization. Several of them differ from the main clans only in that there are far fewer of them, making them unable to affect the same kind of broad influence. Indo-European vampires tend to assume, if they are aware of the African bloodlines at all, that they represent offshoots of the main clans the way theirs do.

Asian Bloodlines

The east Asian bloodlines are among the rarest and most elusive, living as they do in the dangerous territories of the far more powerful and widespread Kuei-Jin. While some of them claim ancestry from immigrants from the Indo-European clans, having developed themselves into a distinct bloodline with time and isolation, others make it clear that the idea that there are no vampires native to Asia is perhaps more of a story the Kuei-Jin like to tell rather than a reality.

The Clanless

Occasionally, a vampire may be created who has no blood connection to a clan. Most of the time, this is a genetic mutation or error, caused by anything from impurities in the former human's blood to instability in the sire's powers to simple weakening of the clan line. Vampires with no clan are viciously marginalized, often completely excluded from society, heavily mistreated, or even hunted on sight, and some as a result attempt to blend in with the major clans, passing themselves off as a member of whatever clan is most suited to their temperament.
