Derangements are mental problems with the characters that have them. As in the real world, some people just are -not- right. So below we have listed the derangements that we recognize. This page may be editted as we gather our creative juices and create more things. Amnesia - In order not to think of what you have done in your life, you forget a segment of your past. Many times this is either from before the Embrace or the Embrace itself. Assissi Complex - The desire to harbor children and animals, to do them no harm. ie: Saint Francis of Assissi the patron saint of animals and children. Bulimia - This is a vampire that will feed until his/her bloodpool is full 4 or more times a night and risks frenzy if he/she doesn't. Bulimia in a vampire is much the same as in a human. Compulsion - This is a deepseated need to perform a certain act. {i.e. - washing hands 20 times a day} Delusions of Grandieur - This vampire imagines that he/she is far better than he/she actually is. Desensitization - This vampire can no longer fell any STRONG emotions. Disassociative Blood-Spending - Vampires with this derangement tend to unconsciously spend blood to up different traits at unneeded or inappropriate times. Fantasy - This vampire enters a self-created world of delusions, which makes him or her the hero. Fugue - This vampire will suffer blackouts/loss of memory in moments of extreme stress. Hierarchical Sociology Disorder - (Tremere only) Becoming drone-like, because of becoming under the full control of the council, due to the inability to handle the stress of hunting for blood or dealing with the Beast. Hysteria - The vampire is unable to control emotions. Manic-Depressive - This vampire has SEVERE mood swings and at the drop of a hat. Masochism - A vampire with this derangement closely associates pain with pleasure. Megalomania - The obsession of accumulating ultimate power and wealth. Melancholia - This is when a vampire sinks into a world of doom and gloom. There will be times that the Vampire will work on a project, if it moves through that doom and gloom phase. Memory Lapses - A vampire tends to lose random parts of memory at inopportune times (temporary). Multiple Personalities - Each personality is triggered by different Emotional stimuli. Each personality may have different Attributes and Virtues. It is up to the ST how many someone has with MPD, 3 or more. Obsession - You have a VERY hard time thinking of anything else other than your Obsession "focal" point. Overcompensation - You cover up your moral weaknesses by playing up one of your moral strengths to an extreme. Paranoia - These people believe everyone is out to get them and have a much harder time with social interaction, for they fear that any moment, someone will do something to them that will cause their final death. Perfection - Everything MUST be perfect in your unlife. Phobia (not flaw) - This fear encompasses the very fiber of your being. You are scared of it every moment of your existence, even in rest. Power-Object Fixation - This derangement shows that a vampire has an external focal point, example: a ring, without which the vampire cannot function properly. Regression - The vampire becomes childlike. Sanguinary Animalism - (Kindred) These vampires believe that they do not merely consume victim's blood, but their souls as well, which are then made a part of the vampire'sconsciousness (hearing voices of the victims in head, feels memories of victims, etc.) Sanguinary Cryptophagy - (Tremere only) becoming obsessed with finding more and different "flavors" of blood. Schizophrenia - Different emotions or situations can make a character's personality to change. Though it is the same person, they mood swings are MUCH stronger thannormal, and the ability to resist Frenzy is MUCH harder. Self-Annihiliation Impulse - This derangement is a subconscious one. The "death wish" phenomenon is not realized by the person that has it. Not even in the end. Synesthesia - The vampires senses are put into the brain differently. Example: "hears" colors, "smells" textures.... etc. Thaumaturgical Glossolalia - (Tremere only) Speaking in tongues under large amounts of stress. |
