The Eternal Night

The Khepri

{{The Caste of Khepri was less known then other Castes as their numbers remained small and their home remained a mystery. One would need a Supernatural Lore of 5 to know of this family or have had direct contact with them at one point in their history to know anything about them.}}

{{Note: If you have little understanding of this type of Roleplay, start out with a beginning character in one of the three aforementioned clans. Once you have grasped the concepts, then seek those like this one to be ushered in.ST Approval MUST be gained to play a character of this Bloodline.}}

The Background story

Obi Khepri, the Knowledgeable One, was sent into the Clan Tzimisce. He learned many intriguing things as he studied the art of Vicissitude. They guarded their beginnings with a fervent passion. It grew even to the point that their havens were so precious to them that they took more defensives measures over their havens than their childer at times. He saw all bodies as beautiful... it did not matter the gender... for he loved them both... literally.

Obi passed in a war that ravage through the lands against the Baali. As the Baali saw the Khepri caste as a threat, they sought out these Assamite infiltrators and began to eliminate them one by one. Obi fell in a battle with a Baali infiltrator as she took this one out. It would be millenia before he would emerge again... This time in a female body....

Nickname: Menders

Sect: Independent

Appearance: These characters are of no specific background of ethnicity but they do understand the concepts of Numinae and medicine. They tend to be loners for most things but are overprotective of their childer and family.

Havens: These can be anywhere and are heavily guarded. These Kindred tend not to travel too far from their havens unless it is absolutely necessary.

Background: The Kindred of this Bloodline tend to be doctors, nurses, shaman, or shamanesses. They are true to what they believe and they have a strong inner will. They have their own Code of Honor, though few find it honorable. They do not break their word once given, unless the word is broken by the other party. Their code makes them fulfill their obligations fully and without remorse for the things they do to achieve what is necessary, not openly anyway.

Character Creation: These Kindred favor Attributes in the following, but not always: Mental, Physical, then Social. Knowledges and Skills are favored equally, but normally they seek knowledge in the areas of clan and area/city knowledges as well as sciences the most. Their nature is usually Judgemental and their demeanor will Domineering, especially for the males..

Clan Disciplines: Quietus, Vicissitude, Blood Sorcery**

{{**Blood Sorcery includes all Tremere Thaumaturgy and all Assamite Sorcery, since they are virtually the same.}}

Weaknesses: These Kindred are overly protective of haven to a point of killing anything that trespasses before asking, especially of a supernatural nature. They also have the Assamite weakness of Easily addicted to vitae. They are Addicted to Kalif. They also have Permanent Fangs.

Strengths: These Bloodlines all have the merits "Indominable Soul" and "Blessed". They also have the Discipline "Blood Sorcery" since the progenitor's soul was reborn.

Organization: These Kindred are very close knit, unlike the Clans from which this bloodline hailed. They have tend to run in small groups of two or three. This will help them as they begin to grow. The sire tends to be overprotective of all his childer and their possessions until he or she knows the childer is capable of fending for his- or herself.

Gaining Clan Prestige: Prestige within the clan is found in the gaining of knowledge and strength. Knowledge of the living body and mind is particularly prized and new methods to either heal, destroy, or manipulate the body is sought with an almost religious zeal. True to their Tzimisce roots their own bodies are their personal canvas and the goal of each Vixthia is to embody their inner self upon their flesh and the closer one reaches this goal the more respect is earned within the clan.

Bloodlines: There are no other bloodlines that this line has sired. As this is a new bloodline, it is small and well grouped together.
