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.}}

The Background story

Jamila was born to The Guardian's favored concubine, after Amoxtli, Maiib and Sekhemib. She was the last born and last trained, just before the Baali decided to enact revenge on the Castes of the Assamites in an attempt to eliminate their threats.

Jamila, along with several children and The Mother, were stolen and used for heinous acts in attempts to get as much information out of her to make sure the Khepri were eliminated. When they found that she would not buckle as it would not only eliminate her family, but the Prized Castes of UrShulgi and Haqim, they cut her to bits just like The Mother.

Her soul did not find a peaceful rest...

Lynn's Background

(Lynn's background summarized)

Gehenna, 2004...

((Lynn's story around this time))

Nickname: The Flawless

Sect: Independent

Appearance: Very attuned to the times and trends, they wear what is "in" or where something that has struck their fancies as to beauty and begin a trend of their own tastes.

Havens: They are emphatically impeccable. As their social standards make them, their havens are always comfortable and very well suited for guest, usually showing off their own flare for the trend and their art.

Background: These kindred run the gamut of the art world, artists and trendsetters, designers and singers, poetry and stories. Beauty is the key.

Character Creation: These Kindred favor Attributes in the following, but not always: Social, Mental, then Physical. Expression and Performance are favored highly as well as Subterfuge and Etiquette. Their favored backgrounds are Allies, Contacts, Fame, Herd, Resources, and Status. Their nature is usually Judgmental and their demeanor will a celebrant or bon vivant type.

Clan Disciplines: Presence, Quietus, Blood Sorcery**

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

Weaknesses: If something is seen, heard or smelled that is truly beautiful, this Kindred must make a Self-Control roll (dif 6) or be entranced by the sensation. Being 'wounded' will allow the entrancement to stop. 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: Cliquish and Social much like the Ventrue, though a single faux paux will mark one for immediate and permanent outcasting. They are close knit to their "family".

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: "This decorum is really to die for. Are you trying to make your guest commit suicide... or even homicide? Because being in here less than 5 minutes makes me want to kill. We must definitely redecorate or you will be laughed out of the Society Pages quicker than one can call for the 'fashion police'."

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

Note: This is a work in progress.
