[@LightAndDarkMdness02]

@@Zeithri Tzimisce is obviously the best fit for him for a couple reasons. 1. There is a fine distinction between the cenobite-style body horror Tzimisce of modern times, and the Lords of the Old Clan. The Old Clan Tzimisce really don't concern themselves with the body modification aspect of Vicissitude as they consider it a "virus" passed on by the Eldest to control their minds. Instead, they use animalism and dominate to control their domains. Depending on the edition, Vicissitude is just a corrupted form of Protean anyway, so the abilities and charareristic of the Old Clan Tzimisce best represent Dracula from the books and movies. 2. The clan curse of clan Tzimisce was literally taken from the novel. In the novel, Dracula sleeps in coffins/crates full of soil from his homeland to retain his power. This weakness firmly places him as a Tzimisce. 3. Tzimisce were the Dominant clan in the Old Country/Carpathians, and given that Dracula himself is from Romania it makes sense that of all the clans Vlad Tepes would be a Tzimisce. That said, Dracula is an anamoly as far as vampires go since he is extremely low generation for his age and possesses more powerful than most Methuselahs. Dracula is special even compared to other vampires despite his Tzimisce roots.

[@wolfbane7497]

Also you forgot about the Tzimisce weakness they cannot sleep in a regular bed. They must sleep with a dirt of where they were first created. Meaning they have to carry their soil with them constantly. Or else they'll be weakened.

SchreckNet's primary purpose remains unspoken among the Nosferatu. Legend has it that their Eldest hates his vampiric offspring and wants them all dead. To that end, he sired the Niktuku; Obscenely powerful creatures fiercely loyal to their master with only one goal: eradicate the Nosferatu. More learned Nosferatu use SchreckNet to communicate rumors of the movements of the Niktuku usually in code and innuendo since mentioning them by name is a taboo.

[@DuskSunDawn]

It's the first time I'm learning about Vampire The Masquerade, the game lore is very interesting. Nosferatu reminds me of Dimir (Magic The Gathering, MTG). Dimir is a guild that was considered a myth, something similar to the cucuy/coco. It specializes in secrets, stealth, information, assasins, informants, vampires, shapeshifters, imposters, horrors, rumors, misinformation, curses, etc. Dimir believes information is power, it has a complex web for hiding, obtaining, manipulating, stealing and destroying information. Its most important places are underground. Some members spend a lot of time underground, in secret places. Nobody knows what Dimir wants, its members are only allowed to know information that is needed for executing the mission. Nobody knows what its le ader wants. lt was founded by Szadek, a vampire that had more than 10000 years old when he died (but his spirit wasn't destroyed). After Szadek died, Lazav became the guildmaster, Lazav is a mastermind and a great shapeshifter, nobody knows his real form nor his history. Some people believe Lazav is planning to destroy Niv-Mizzet, the dragon who founded Izzet. On the other hand, Nosferatu''s love for technology reminds me of Izzet, another guild of MTG. It specializes in technology, experiments...but they prefer wild experiments, explosions and dying when they are doing experiments.

[@Tezcatlipoca2000]

@@DuskSunDawn The bio of Antediluvian Nosferatu, name Absimilard, is incredible twisted and amazing. Search it in some wiki, You Will love it

[@REZIX233]

One of the best things about the Nosferatu is that their position as outsiders leads to sect not mattering so much to them. In The Warrens (The communal living space of the Nosferatu under any given city) there is no sect and that's one way the Nosferatu stay so well informed of the movements of other Kindred/Cainintes

[@DavidMyrmidon]

[@TransGamerNerd27]

Thinbloods are usually 14th or 15th generation. So far removed from Caine that they have little to no power in any disciplines. They can be the sired by a vampire from any of the other clans but because they don't show the characteristic traits they are rejected by the other clans. The Thinbloods " thin blood" comes with several perks though. They can usually walk around in sunlight and lead normal lives (or unlives if you prefer) and while they don't usually have any immediate inclination towards disciplines they are able to learn disciplines from other clans easier than a non-thinblood. I think this likely has to do with them being so far removed from the 3rd gen that they aren't affected by the curse that Caine put on the clan founders so they aren't restricted in their potential. It would be cool if you made a video on the Methuselahs (4th & 5th gen). While the Antediluvians (3rd gen) were the original clan founders, it was the Methuselahs who really defined what each clan was. And after the Antediluvians went to sleep/were locked away, the Methuselah's became the kindred that manipulate the vampire world from the shadows. They never directly cause events to occur, like the founding of the Camarilla, Sabbat, & Anarchs, but the actions they take and order their children to take, often lead to great change or significant events in Kindred history.

9:37 Ah the Banu Haqim. Personally my favorite story of theirs came in the late 90s when one of their Methusulahs, ur-Shulgi, Haqim's second childer who was embraced some 10,000 years BCE woke up and returned to the Mountain aka Alamut the home of the clan. The clan he had left behind when he went into torpor was nothing like the clan he awoke to: so many of the clan had forgotten their purpose and history, no longer the Hunters of Cainites and Shepards of Men they were meant to be. As such he confronted the current leader of the clan in Haqim's absence, Jamal who tried to convince ur-Shulgi that their time as hunters of their own kind was over and also wanted to convert him to Islam. ur-Shulgi took exception to that. He killed Jamal or as he put it, "I sent him to meet his young god." He then sent a call through the blood for all of Haqim's children to return to the Mountain for judgment. So anyway that's the story of how many Banu Haquim sought asylum in the Camarilla. It's also worth mentioning that ur-Shulgi is perhaps the most powerful blood sorcerer in the world and broke a blood curse the Tremere clan put on his clan that lasted for about 5 centuries the day he found out about it after he woke up. (I'm so sorry for posting what will inevitably be so many comments)

Kindred wasn't really "loosely based". It was definitely meant to be fully based on the white wolf property. But people who make TV and movies rarely respect lore in games.

Well to be fair if I understand correctly not every single member of those clans and bloodlines joined the Hecata so you CAN still play them how they were originally, and personally I think the idea of a Clan where some of them are kinda artificially related to the others kinda like stitched together cloth but with blood ties

The Discipline of Tzimisce (pronounced Ze-Meet-See) is called "Vicissitude" (pronounced Veh-sis-e-tood). Fleshcrafting is a single power included within Vicissitude. They can also change things like their bloods chemical composition (turning their blood to a substance similar to liquid napalm or acid), removing their own limbs or grafting extra limbs to others or themselves, giving those limbs eyes or mouths, severing those limbs from themselves and giving them wills of their own, or even transforming into giant mutant vampire bats.

its such a shame that v5 removed all of the unique disciplines. combining thaumaturgy (tremere sorcery) and quietus(banu hakim sorcerer) into blood sorcerery, and combining obtenebration (lasombra shadow sorcery) with necromancy (hecata ghost magic) took away a lot of the clan individuality. and then theres the clans like the malkavians, tzimisce, and ministry who had their unique disciplines (dementation, viscisitude, and serpentis respectively) turned into fucking amalgams.

[@ssjjshawn]

Also gotta love the amalgam disciplines, forcing some Clans to drop disciplines extreme important to them Rip Ravnos having Animalism, Fortitude and Chemistry, now its Animalism, Obfuscate and Precenece. Which if they are linking Necromancy and Obtenebration thanks to them both being linked to Oblivion (Which makes even less sense if you know Wraith lore to know that the Shadowlands/underworld and the Abyss/Labyrinth/Hell are in very very different areas) then Chiemistry being the manipulation of the shared illusion that Kine precieve should still very well make it its own discipline still. Especially as it isn't mental manipulation like either Obfuscate or Precenece, as its later Elder powers show its just straight up Reality Manipulation.

Jon DiMaggio, who you may recognize from *literally anything that required a voice actor at some point.* He's in the same family as Troy Baker, Nolan North and Steve Blum.

Thank you for adding the tv show name to the video. going to watch it after this...

[@lemondruid2783]

After a very interesting vid about Kaine and vampire histories was expecting a completely different type of content in here.

[@itzbeelzebuddy]

I got bloodlines as a gift for Christmas. Tereme are good for beginners imo... Or people who perfer to be the mage in an mmo. my favorite personally by the sound of em is the Ban Hajium. They're basically a nosferatu and tremere combined.

[@darjaangunn-cook9838]

I wish i can choose the lasombra clan in vampire masquerade bloodlines 2

[@scootinkermie]

Hey I believe some Clans are gonna be added as DLC

[@fredcavalcante1887]

I didn't think about that! You're right! As part of the Camarilla, would be right to have the option to make a Lasombra character.

[@claudiusVIII]

I remember when my gaming friends first suggested playing VtM, I thought the game was for LARPers/Goths only, but after one session I was hooked.

Hey man i love all your videos i usually watch them on my playstation which makes it hard to comment lol but i was wondering if you can do a video on the vampires on the "Legacy of Kain" video games? Thats one that you havent yet featured for id love to see your breakdown on those vampires

[@hectortehandon265]

I second that

[@REZIX233]

[@nolgroth]

I only ever played Bloodlines, not the tabletop game. Malkavian was fun for one playthrough. Then you knew the gags, so less special later. Tremere was probably my favorite clan.

[@nomnomnooma]

If you do a video explaining the back story of the society like who the sabbat are and what diabolizs? What that means. Much appreciate it if you made a video like that

thin bloods are Generation 14 and upwards😅 there are very few gen 15 and 16 thin bloods as most of them have blood too weak and dilute to embrace another

[@DrachenGothik666]

@@gendoruwo6322 Bwahahaaa. Emo and Goth are two different genres, mate, putting 'em together like that is cute. Doesn't stop an Emo fan from liking Goth stuff, or a Goth fan from liking Emo stuff, though. They just don't usually occur together, from what I've seen. Signed, an old Goth who's been around since close to the beginning of the Goth genre.🖤

[@justanotherdayinthelife9841]

Btw 5th Ed's idea to combine powers and clans together is a massive misstep imho. They did Tzimisce dirty.

[@doeeyes4904]

Thank you 🌹🌹

[@The3rdTurd]

I'd definitely be Lasombra or Tzimisce. Lasombra can summon objects, clone of themselves or even creatures out of the shadows/darkness of Oblivion...use it to teleport (disappear in 1 shadow and re-appear from another one elsewhere), or actually become a shadow which is immune to all damage except sunlight and fire. Tzimisce can reshape themselves to look like nearly anything; the typical result is like something from one of the Hellraiser films.

[@titel9870]

Yeah, but unless your in the Sabbat, everybody from the Camarilla, Anarchs and other factions gonna hate and/or fear you more than usual. No wait actually you'll still be hated and feared In the Sabbat anyways..

[@relaxedfish2344]

@@titel9870 in recent lore, the Camarilla have started to let in defecting lasombra. However, it does come at a steep price on the lasombra's side. Of which i believe is the final death of another lasombra

[@johnny_o0794]

I played the previous Bloodlines game and also have the old RPG manuals. And there are certain clans that were not there before, others that are missing or that apparently changed their name. For example, the Assamite clan, an independent clan originating from the east or middle east, descendants of Haqim, which from what I can now assume are called the Banu Haqim. The Giovanni clan, originally a bloodline until Augustus Giovanni diablerized Cappadocius, turning the Giovanni into a clan and the Cappadocians ceasing to exist as such. As you indicate in the video, now the Giovanni are called Hecata. Another independent clan that changed its name is the Followers of Seth, which as you say, are now called The Ministry. And finally, a clan that seemed extinct, the Salubri clan, since its leader, Saulot, had been diablerized by the leader of the Tremere. It would be interesting to know why these clans changed their names and why the Salubri reappeared as a clan.

[@ratatatuff]

The Giovanni are not called Hecata. Clan Hecata consists of the remnants of the Giovanni, Cappadocians, Harbinger of Skulls and Lamiae. Originally the Salubri haven't even been a clan, they've been introduced as a bloodline in Vampire: The Dark Ages. White Wolf is intentionally pretty vague when it comes to metaplot but if you want to know more you'll need to read the RPG books.

[@dilsoncamacho4100]

I just got this video out of knowhere, and I used to play a lot of vampire requiem and masquerade like 15 years ago or so... bruh, they changed for the worse, there used to be many more cool powers in the disciplines, the assamites by the way were able to do some crazy assassination stuff and stop sound, and tzimisces that were devil worshipers in old requiem had straight up elemental magic. Loved playing medieval vampire much more than masquerade, best setting, some of the most over the top powers and wars, shame the system is so RP intensive and people moved over to more linear systems like d&d. By the way, my favorite "combo" might still be available, and that's playing caitif for potence and fortitude for making a truly strong and tanky vampire.

[@ahrpenxay]

I always play as a gangrel, since 2nd ED. Also played as a gangrel in Vampre: the Requiem. If possible, I whould like to see a video on this forgotten gem in the future.

Greatest Malkavian line ever "I can slick my insides with blood so you can thrust against my corpse"

[@davhot4107]

Tzimisce: "That's...not how a transformation works!!" O_O

[@illiengalene2285]

There are 2 two Nosferatu subcategories, the one you describe and their darker part, the Nictuku. Most Nosferatu are terrible afraid of them, because they also hunt them down. Malkavians also have an alternative discipline to Dominate, Dementation,. Causing madness and mental illness like effects in others or themselves. (Like regulation agitation.) There are a lot more subclans like the sirens or an alternate version of Tzemiske, who use blood sorcery. I personally would be probably Malkavian. Wouldn't be too much of a change either. Sunlight allergy and multiple psychological disorders.

[@racspartan1]

👍 Interesting, I’ve Never Heard of this Game before.

[@MisterMusic117]

I loved Futurama when it started airing, and then John DiMaggio was probably the first time I recognized a voice actor in another project. I knew Bender was Wakka in Final Fantasy X immediately. I thought he might also be Kimahri, and that turned out to be true, but I found that out only after the internet was a thing..

[@LauraAnn1980]

Gangrel. My favorite character I ever played was a Gangrel. Never played the video game though. I played the LARP version. So much fun.

[@marcus614]

there are major things missing though, tzimices have vicissitude and malkavians have dementation

[@Zujanbre]

Brujah were a clan that embraced philosophers in ancient Grece and Knights during the middle ages, the clan embraces people with a strong ethical code and those who value freedom and justice. Their curse makes them frenzy when witnessing an injustice making it irresistible for a brujah to dispense some justice on the spot, sometimes causing them to involuntarily break the masquerade by fighting for what they percieve as right. They don't value deception and stealth but straightforward confrontation and are the most vocal clan in vampire politics fighting for kindred freedom and a just cause - Anarchs. I like the Brujahs backstory but in VTMB I always played as Malkavian or Tremere. Tremere were very OP with blood magic.

0:20 That Caine art lookin' like he's about to go on a killing rampage over a dog and a car. Also, it should be good to note that you're describing some of their abilities, powers and weakness in the older versions, and not the latest V5 version. A few corrections, about the killing vampires part. It's not really against the Masquerade for vampires to kill other vampires, they've been doing that for thousands of years. It's Diablerie (draining another kindred's vitae and soul) that is taboo in many sects except a few.
