  1. General questions:
  2.  
  3. 1. What comes to your mind when the word vampire arises? What is a vampire in a human view and what is it from a vampire's own view? How different are standard folklore and World of Darkness vampires?
  4. When the subject of vampires come in discussion, I always think of the supernatural beings that need blood from a living source such as human to survive, a creature of the night that has an eternity ahead of him, of course if nothing comes to stop that. And to top it all of the gains in dexterity and strength.
  5. A vampire in the eyes of a human is simply a monster. A monster that wants to kill him and drain his blood for his own satisfaction.
  6. A vampire's perspective about himself is usually narcissistic and believes that the death he suffered is actually a great thing that happened to themselves.
  7. Folklore vampires are way different than the vampires that resides in the World of Darkness, for starters the folklore vampires lack many attributes that the WoD Vampires have, for example the clans. Also folklore vampires do not posses a disciplines, although they posses some kind of enhanced physical attributes.
  8.  
  9. 2. What kind of consequences could possibly arise were a vampire be outed to the general public? What sort of action would be taken by various governments and the people? For this reason, do you think vampires should take the chance of coming out clean or should they rather stay hidden?
  10. First, breaking the masquerade and having multiple people knowing about the existence of your kind, which could result in mass hysteria. The various governments my start an inquisition to exterminate every Cainite they can find, resulting in mass hysteria and a lot of lost vampires.
  11. No, vampires should keep the masquerade as best as they can, they should never take a chance to reveal themselves to the public.
  12.  
  13. 3. What are The Traditions? Who enforces them and how do the vampires view it?
  14. The traditions are the backbone political part of the Camarila society. There are in total 6 traditions( Masquerade, Domain, Progeny, Accounting, Hospitality and Destruction).
  15. The person who should enforce them would be an elder however in the modern days the Prince enforces them on the Cainite society.
  16. Masquerade : This tradition can be summarized in that the Cainites should remain a secret for the human society. If the Masquerade is broken measurements are taken that the individuals are punished and the humans that found out silenced.
  17. Domain : The term is used to describe a certain area claimed by an influential individual in the community of Cainites. Some call this area as a hunting ground and some even protect it invoking the traidition with the same name. A prince will most likely choose an entire city as the domain itself.
  18. Progeny : This tradition is used to enforce siring only with the permission of the elder or in another cases the Prince.
  19. Accounting : This tradition enforces that the Sire is hold responsible for the childe's actions, be good or bad. Simply put the sire might be get punished for the childe's actions. He should teach the childe all of the traditions and force his childe to follow them.
  20. Hospitality : One should introduce themselves to the domain ruler when visiting. Also the sire shall present the childe that is under his wing to the Prince.
  21. Destruction :
  22. Only the elder or the Prince has the authority to call for the Final Death of an individual in the Cainite society or a Blood Hunt.
  23.  
  24. 4. What is a Clan?
  25. Clan is the term used by the vampires to describe the major groups of Cainites who share common characteristics passed on by the blood from a common ancestor, one member of the third generation of Cainites. The Clan members posses the same Disciplines and same weaknesses, for example clan Lasombra; All its members share the same three Disciplines ( Potence, Obtenebration and Dominate) and of course the same weakness ( The individuals do not cast any reflections. They cannot be seen in mirrors, bodies of water, reflective windows, polished metals, photographs and security cameras, etc. This weakness extends to the clothes they wear and the items they carry.)
  26.  
  27. 5. What is a Bloodline?
  28. The term Bloodline is used by Cainites to identify a group of vampires that have a common lineage. Or that share similar inherent distinction from one of the thirteen Clans. That may be the clan weakness, Disciplines or both.
  29. The bloodlines aren't necessary tied to any clan but they can be created in a few ways:
  30. - Mystical methods : Some bloodlines are created through rituals that change their founders.
  31. - Flawed Embrace : Sometimes the embrace goes wrong and the childe does not inherit the sire's clan and becomes something different.
  32. - Divergent evolution : A bloodline can be created when they are geographically isolated from the parent clan.
  33. - Diablerie of Antediluvian : A Clan can be demoted to the rank of Bloodline if their Antediluvian is replaced. Some clans' still maintain the Clan rank even after their Antediluvians were killed ( Ravnos, Tzimice, Lasombra)
  34. - Independent origin : Some bloodlines claim no connection to the Clans altogether. They arisen independently through encounters with gods, spirits, eldritch entities.
  35.  
  36. 6. What sort of process is an embrace? What's diablerie? Why are both of these practices so commonly heard about? What's the view on these two?
  37. Embrace is the process in which one that the vampire drains and replaces some of the victim's blood with his own therefore passing the curse of vampirism to a mortal, creating the bond knows as Sire and Childer. It is the only way of reproducing in the Cainites world.
  38. Diablerie or also called Amaranth is the process in which one cainite drains the blood and soul of another's cainite into his own. The process involvs draining every vitae found in the victim's heart resulting into Final Death.
  39. Both are commonly knows in the community of vampires due to the roles and effects that they have. Also Embrace is seen as a way to continue the legacy of Cain and Diablerie is seen as an act of canibalism.
  40.  
  41. 7. What are the vampire generations? How far do they stray from the original? What are these generations? Does generation measurement exist within the society?
  42. The vampire generations are a way to track how much the curse of Caine is diluted through the process of Embrace. For now there are 15 generations known roaming the world, but rumors say that there is a 16th generation soon to rise.
  43. Each generation represent mechanically in-game that the vampire is more powerful if the Cainite is closer to Caine meaning the vampire has a lower generation.
  44. This generation measurement doesn't really exist in the society although there are some individuals, mostly from the Tzimice Clan that they can find out how close some cainite is to Caine and how strong his curse actually is.
  45.  
  46. 8. What are the two notable Anarch Revolts? What sort of effect did they have upon the vampires?
  47. The two notable Anarch Revolts refer to the two big incidents in the history of Cainites that led many young vampires to rebel against their elders seeking to be free from their control or to take their power for themselves.
  48. The first one started with the formation of the Anarch Revolt started by the Brujah childer, this led into skirmishes. This of course led into the Anarchs gaining more members and after the events that happened in Italia and Romania. After all these events this Revolt reach its peak and died with the Convention of Thorns, the formation of Camarilla and the most anarchs joining the Camarila. Also Clan Lasombra and Tzimice formed the Sabbat in this period.
  49. The second Anarch Revolt was made by the "survivors" of the first Anarch movement, this Revolt was fought most on the continent of America and mostly going South and to the Mexican border. The result was that most of the Mexico was rulled by Anarchs.

  51. Character creation:
  52.  
  53. Name: Gabriel_Calleum
  54. Age: 210
  55. Embrace Age: 27
  56. Clan/Bloodline: Lasombra
  57. Sect: Camarila
  58. Generation: 8th
  59.  
  60.  
  61. Out of Character:
  62.  
  63. 1.What kind of powers are you allowed to use in public? What stops you from using them?
  64. Using most of the disciplines aren't allowed to use in public at all, most of them causing hysteria. Stopping a cainite using his disciplines in public is the Masquerade. This tradition forces the cainites to act as humanly possible in town, cities and other communities.
  65.  
  66. 2.Someone has discovered you. He's planning on making a statement within a week, you have all the time to prepare. What do you do? Consider consequences of every sort of action. Putting down more than one option increases your chances of getting accepted.
  67. 1. One way to do it is simply to kill him, masking every incriminatory evidence that can lead to me.
  68. 2. Another one would be to persecute him and make his life a living hell, breaking his will and telling him that all this will stop if he will keep his mouth shut.
  69. 3. Another way could be to make him your loyal servant, a ghoul. This way you can command him to keep his mouth shut and of course do everything you order them.
  70. 4. And the last would be to wipe his memories, depending if I could do it or ask for help from another Cainite that could do it. Wiping his memory of the events that implicate me.
  71.  
  72. 3.An officer walks up to you and tells you to stay put, you are a wanted individual. In the struggle you both shed a good amount of blood, what could possibly happen in this scenario and how further can you avoid these dangerous encounters?
  73. One possibility could be that I could go on a frenzy, therefore I should flee the scene and try to cover my tracks. A way to avoid future scenes like this one I could try to change my appearance and name with help from fellow Cainites and try to remain hidden with the new identity.
  74.  
  75. 4.You mutter around town and notice a rather viscous looking hairy beast with claws stretching out of his arms. What could it possibly be and what could you possibly do about this?
  76. I would attempt to follow this "beast" to discern if it is a Gangrel or a werewolf. Both options are bad, one could break the masquerade and the other could affect the supernatural community, both resulting in mass hysteria and most likely an inquisition to exterminate the supernatural out of fear.
  77. I would stalk that beast through the shadows making sure that it does not do anything to be seen in this form, making sure along the way to stay hidden all the time using my disciplines. If after a night there wouldn't be any danger from this beast I would let him go and return to my own businesses.
  78.  
  79. 5.You've been at the game for quite a while now. You are walking down a dark alley with your partner and three thugs come out of the shadowy corner, aiming their mundane weaponry at you. Should you be scared?
  80. Mere mundane weaponry should not scare a Cainite, if the scenario dictates I shall mimic the fear but I can always dispose of them fairly easy. Only thing I need to keep in mind is that I do not break the masquerade.
  81.  
  82. 6.Considering your bloodline or clan, what sort of job would you be good at? Make a priority job and a side job in case you need one.
  83. Considering my clan, a good job would be one that I should not lift any finger to gain profit from it, to be more precise a business such as a store. As a side job I could always take something like a hobby, such as a hunter.
  84.  
  85. Player information:
  86.  
  87. 1.For how long have you been playing on Vampires, Werewolves and Humans roleplay?
  88. I think from 2014-2015, with some pauses in between that period and the present.
  89.  
  90. 2.Make a list of your current and past characters.
  91. Rei_West
  92. Gabriel_Roman
  93. Kirigaya_Kazuto
  94.  
  95. 3.Do you understand that by taking part of this race, you can be changed by the race moderators (or even admins) for the most simple reasons? If you are to apply and get accepted, you are to follow the race rules to the fullest extent and upon reaching zero masquerade points, lose your character. Have you read all of this and understood what's your part?
  96. Yes and I accept all of the rules that were listed. My part is to join to roleplay with the other players in the
  97. community and respect the rules that are made for the respective race that I will play as.
  98.  
  99. 4.Post a screenshot (embedded with code, no links) of your admin record and activity (include each personal account):
  100.  
  101. 5.If there is anything you would improve/change regarding the vampire race, what would it be?
  102. I wouldn't change anything, the lore and the mechanics are easy to understand and use in different situations.
