The Khepri

{{The Caste of Khepri was less known then other Castes as their numbers remained small and their home remained a mystery. One would need a Supernatural Lore of 5 to know of this family or have had direct contact with them at one point in their history to know anything about them.}}

{{Note: If you have little understanding of this type of Roleplay, start out with a beginning character in one of the three aforementioned clans. Once you have grasped the concepts, then seek those like this one to be ushered in.ST Approval MUST be gained to play a character of this Bloodline.}}

It was during the First Baali war that the Khepri were slaughtered to almost nothing, and Kazemde and his brothers and sister were slain well before Abu. Unfortunately, they did not know what the Prophecies that the old man told Abu would hold, so Xim was one of the least prepared to face what he would in the first millenia after the birth of Christ which changed the calendar's dates.

Nickname: The Knightly Kings

Sect: Independent

Appearance: These kindred are not particular in their Embrace when it comes to appearance. They are very choosey though when it comes to either fighting ability or to money handling, the later being the most important, for the fighting can be taught quicker.

Havens: Their havens reflect their noble nature. The best furnishings, the working of riches throughout their domiciles, their 'trophies' in a manner of speaking.

Background: These kindred tend to be successful businessmen and women, with a great sense of appraisal. They tend to also be a bit eccentric and quite open if not practioners of religions that "weild" magics, i. e. Non-Christian religions.

Character Creation: These Kindred favor Attributes in the following, but not always: Mental, Social, then Physical. Knowledges and Skills are favored equally, but normally they seek knowledge in the areas of clan and area/city knowledges as well as monetary and law the most. Their nature is usually Judgmental and their demeanor will domineering, especially for the males, as they follow the old line of thought, that the man is the head of the household.

Clan Disciplines: Dominate, Quietus, Blood Sorcery**

{{**Blood Sorcery includes all Tremere Thaumaturgy and all Assamite Sorcery, since they are virtually the same.}}

Weaknesses: These kindred have the weakness of Prey exclusion, excluding one type of prey OR only feeding from one type of prey. They also have the Assamite weakness of Easily addicted to vitae, and are Addicted to Caliph. They also have Permanent Fangs.

Strengths: These Bloodlines all have the merits "Indomitable Soul" and "Blessed". They also have the Discipline "Blood Sorcery" since the progenitor's soul was reborn and has regained or retained the knowledge.

Organization: Social structure is key. Challenges upon Elders are seen as the highest form of treachery and rudeness, unless the "upstart" wins. They are close knit and tend to be exclusive in many of their selections for 'friends'.

Bloodlines: There are no other bloodlines that this line has sired. As this is a new bloodline, it is small and well grouped together.

Quote: "I have made my decision about your value as a Childe of Caine, it would be wise to rethink your position in the cycle of life, for there is no need for emotion or weakness to be shown within our blood."

"Play a vampire, a unique character, not a " clan clone. "

Note: This is a work in progress.
