                                FALLEN ANGELS



   By Andrew Cram (A.Cram@student.anu.edu.au) (19 Oct 94)

   Nicknames: Angels, Demons

   Parent clan: Caitiff (Pander antitribu)

   Organization: Camarilla

   Status: Greater Bloodline

   The Fallen Angel Bloodline was founded less than a decade ago by an
   enigmatic Pander antitribu in Seattle. In the few years since it has
   spread throughout the America's and Australia but has yet to reach
   Europe.

   This bloodline is causing much concern in vampiric society, rumors
   abound that they are the pawns of the Setites, Baali or something far
   worse. It's members however have not done anything that would support
   these rumors, indeed the Angels are the less violent and 'evil' of
   Vampires often helping to protect mortals in danger.

   All members of this bloodline are male, they are also all members of
   the Camarilla (Although unconfirmed reports indicate at least one
   kindred of similar appearance and abilities in the Sabbat) and are
   pushing for full Clan status including their own Justicar.

   Appearance: Angels have a unique appearance. All have a rating of 5 in
   appearance due to extensive use of Vicissitude, Black and Gold eyes
   (Serpentis) and Bat wings extending from their backs (Viceratika).
   Many are also completely hairless, although some have very long hair.
   They wear either jeans and little else or stylishly tailored suits
   with large coats or capes.

   Haven: Angels have shown no prefered havens with as many living in the
   sewers as in penthouses.

   Backgrounds: Most recruits are in their twenties, typically university
   students.

   Character creation: Most Angels come from mainstream backgrounds and
   are most typically either visionaries or caregivers. Social attributes
   are usually primary as are knowledges.

   Clan disciplines: Sanguinus, Serpentis, Viceratika. Most also learn
   Vicissitude. (Must start with at least one dot in Serpentis and
   Viceratika)

   Weaknesses: The Angels primary weakness there appearance. Their
   extensive use of Vicissitude is also starting to have an effect on the
   mental stability of some angels. They are unable to feed from female
   humans.

   Organization: It is unclear exactly what structure this bloodline
   maintains although the founder is still thought to be in control. The
   Tremere whisper that all members of the clan are bloodbound to each
   other although most doubt these claims. All Angels within a given city
   seem to be equal with the oldest acting as a kind of spokesman.

   Gaining clan prestige: The easiest ways to gain prestige is to gather
   personal power, and to spread the clans influence and status. Less
   straightforward is the aiding of select mortals or defeating the plans
   of the clans enemies.

   Quote: "Me, a demon, don't be ridiculous, I'm just here to help. Now
   what would you do to look a million dollars?"

   Stereotypes:

   Brujah: "Interesting little kindred, pretend to support their
   revolution but do nothing"

   Gangrel: "Kindred spirits, give them help when they need it and don't
   bother them when they don't"

   Malkavian: "Steer clear lest there madness rub off on us. Still there
   is something terribly human about them."

   Nosferatu: "Look beyond the surface, these kindred are the most honest
   of the lot. They will be valuable allies, help them whenever possible
   but do NOT offer to fix their looks."

   Toreador: "They often find us living art - treat them well"

   Tremere: "They are our main opponents, don't give them an excuse to
   assault us. Support those who oppose them but don't do anything
   directly, YET.

   Ventrue: "The sects leaders are adequate, they do not threaten us and
   they may one day actually help us"

   Caitiff: "Our little brothers. Remember they are our roots but we will
   not go back. Recruit those that are worthy, do not get involved with
   those that are not.

   Assamites: "Professionals, don't get in their way, but if you do fight
   them, do it well"

   Children of Osiris: "To far seperated from humanity but otherwise we
   have no problem with them."

   Giovanni: "The death cultists tread a fine line; try and keep them
   from falling to the darkness but don't get involved financially"

   Ravnos: "These kindred have no value, ignore them if you can, destroy
   them if you must"

   Salubri: "Hunted to near extinction by the Tremere, protect any you
   encounter but do not allow anyone outside the clan to know about it."

   Setites: "Nearly as evil as is possible -- destroy any follower of Set
   you find. The Serpents of Light, however, may be useful."

   Lupines: "The easy answer is to avoid our furred brothers - you've got
   wings, use them. The Tribe known as the Black Spiral Dansers are demon
   spawn - do not hesitate to destroy them and make sure the other tribes
   know who is responsible"

   Mages: "No comment."
