The Goodly List of “Don’t Give Us This Oh God Please”
(Disclaimer: We warmly welcome any and all questions, we love editing concepts and making this with you! Don’t be made afraid by this list <3 )
Antediluvians
Childe of Antediluvians
Lover of Antediluvians
X of Antediluvians
Kinfolk-turned-vampire
Werewolf-turned-vampire
“Half Vampires”
Clanless/Caitiff
Ghouls
Anything that wasn't a human before it was Embraced
(No other WoD settings, including Hunter game)
Tremere who have escaped the Tremere and not been killed
Lone Tremere
Roaming Lone Elders™
Roaming lone Elders™ are very rare! We don't want them in bespoke concepts. Some Gangrel are out of touch with the world, sure. We would still prefer them rooted territorially to a domain even if it is a forest. Elders are generally really resistant to leaving their safe space and domain becausee t h e y - d i e that way. They lose power, political impact and other elders don't want them near them, roaming about, mucking up stuff and upsetting the status quo of their lives. The individuals in canon who do this are the exceptions in the entire world, not the norm. If you want this, consider playing one of those canon vampires from our list.
People who are so important across all of vampire society that they are practically famous, because this would fundamentally change the canon (just play a canon vampire)
No convincing major world leaders of groundbreaking stuff/rewriting yourself into big world-changing history as the central protagonist. (Please pick a canon character.)
No rewriting/self-inserting into major canon events. (Please pick a canon character.)
Characters who have been to every important historical event in their lifespan. Pick something - one thing - which can be the meaningful part of your history from which your motivations, ambitions and values can derive. Please focus in on a time.
Bespoke vampires are for people who want to play a concept that fits discreetly into the existing world
Combat Nuns
Combat Butlers
Vampire hunters
Demon hunters
Hunter hunters
1000+ year old vampires (please pick a canon vampire)
"I washed Jesus' wounds" vampire
“I was at the crucifixion” vampire
"Oh, please. If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would've been like Woodstock. I was actually at Woodstock.” - Spike, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
"I am Hardestadt's biggest rival" vampire
“I am Lucita’s best friend” vampire
“I am Mithras’ lover” vampire
Tremere who are friends with Salubri
Tremere who are friends with Tzimisce
Tremere who are friends with Gangrel
Tremere who are friends with Nosferatu
Unbondable Tremere
Malkavians who drag dolls around and suck their thumb and use baby voice.
Fishmalks.
Bad stereotypes of mental health. We work with each player of any Malkavian character to craft a specific derangement that can be roleplayed sensitively, considering the overlap here with mental illness.
Shit Ventrue
(As a Ventrue I just can’t take it)
Serial diablerists (Claudius uninvited you)
This list is not exhaustive, but it hopefully gives you an eyeball at how we eyeball concepts.
