If Lasombra are the heart of the Sabbat, then Tzimisce are its soul. Even other vampires grow uneasy around these Kindred. They are the masters of crafting human flesh and, as most Kindred know, this technique is most efficient in combat and torture as well. Nickname: Fiends Sect: Most Tzimisce serve the Sabbat. Some elders kept their independence. There are only half a dozen known Tzimisce that joind the Camarilla. Appearance: As masters of Vicissitude, Tzimisce often have striking appearances - wheter strikingly beautiful or strikingly grotesque depends on the whim of the Fiend in question. Younger Tzimisce perform all sorts of body modifications on themselves, while elders prefer flawless, symmetrical forms. Clan Disciplines: Animalism, Auspex, Vicissitude Weakness: Tzimisce are very territorial creatures, so whenever they sleep, they must surround themselves with at least two handfuls of earth which is from a place that was very important to them when they were mortals.Failure to meet this requirement makes the Tzimisce tired, until he can barely conentrate on anything. This effect lasts until the object rests in his earth for a full day. Quote: Welcome; a thousand welcomes!

Brujah Like ourselves, they have been unjustly toppled. Unlike ourselves, they have not adapted well at all. Ravnos No one merits fiercer punishment than the uninvited guest. Followers of Set A worm, some say, can be cut in two, or even minced, yet each piece will wondrously grow whole once more. Can the Setites do likewise, I wonder? Toreador So lovely, so pliable, like dolls! Their most charming gift, though, is in the screaming. Gangrel Already the hunting hound paces its kennel. Soon it shall come and lick the feet of its old master. Tremere They wished for immortality; now they have it. Realize, upstarts, that agony properly administered can make an instant seem like an eternity, and that an eternity of eternities is a long time in which to suffer. Giovanni Why do they obsess over states of being that, as immortals, we need not deign to trouble ourselves with? Ventrue If one chooses improperly, one can at least uphold one's error with dignity. The Ventrue embody much that is noble about the Damned, and so, when the time to destroy them comes, we will allow them to die the long way, with honor. Lasombra They are shadows in truth - menacing but ultimately ephemeral. Still, ofttimes it is easier to accomplish tasks under cover of cloaking darkness. Caitiff Most were created rashly; as such, few are of any use save as objects of study.     Camarilla The cauldron in which the Ancients hope to cook a bloody stew. When it is tipped over, the others will see, and thank us. Sabbat Flawed, but our greatest - and only - hope nonetheless.
