In nights of old, Ventrue were chosen from nobles, merchant princes, or other wielders of power. In modern times the clan recruits from wealthy "old money" families, ruthless corporate climbers and politicians.

Most Ventrue support the Masquerade wholeheartedly, believing that under it's auspices the best existence for all Cainites may be obtained. However, there are those rare within the clan who believe that the Camarilla itself is in need of 'renovation,' "more modern laws for more modern nights" as it were.

As the decades roll, and some say we come closer to that old 'myth,' Gehenna, even I look upon them in their failing grip and cannot help but shake my head. One wonders.. which of us will be judged by our Father, our sire of sires, and which will stand astride him as he deals said judgement to those who have tresspassed his true law?

Ah, that I could have seen and understood the things my dear and long passed cousin Niccolo had written me of in that dark cell so many years past.. perhaps then we might have a glimmer into the truth of what they of the Camarilla are and are not hiding...

Nickname: Blue Bloods

Appearance: Cultivation of a classical cultural appearance. Nothing but the best clothing and accessories. Preppy styles are not surprising with these characters.

Havens: Only the best will do! Enough said.

Background: Professional or high-stock society or noteworthy person. Very selective Embrace. These Blue-bloods are almost as in-bred as the Giovanni.

Character Creation: Social and Mentals are most favored. Skills and Knowledges are most favored. Backgrounds most noted are Fame, Influence, Mentor, Resources, Retainers and Status.

Clan Disciplines: Dominate Fortitude Presence

Weaknesses: Ventrue taste is rarefied to the point of exclusivity. Each BlueBlood may partake of onlhy a certain type of mortal blood. This MUST be chosen at Creation. Examples: Virgins, Blond men, naked children, clergy, etc. Vampire blood is not a problem in selectivity. No Ventrue may feed upon any other type of blood even if starving.

Organization: Social structure is key. Challenges of Elders are seen as the highest form of treachery and rudeness... unless the "upstart" wins.

Quotes: " The guidance of the damned is my burden to bear, not yours. You would do well, however, to ask yourself wether your unlife is one of the benefit of the Children of Caine, or a detriment. I have already made my decision. "

"Crafty, crafty devils.. but don't over estimate them. No no.. they're not all lies and ugly things.. I know a few.. the Mountain Prince.. yes.. the Mountain Prince..." ~Vedis Oreo
