List of canon vampires: CLICK ME (opens in new window)
>> Click me for setting/canon changes <<
>> Click me for NEW vampires we made <<
If you want one of the new vampires just use their name in the selections below, same as you would for a canon vampire.
We prefer people selecting one of these pre-existing vampires (be it canon or one of the new fangs), but you are also welcome to put “custom vampire” as any of your choices.
Custom vampires will be subject to potentially extreme alterations to fit the concept into our world.
About Custom/Bespoke Vampires
Only two of your choices may be custom vampires. The remaining three must be canon vampires or “additional vampires” we have created. If you don’t want any bespoke/custom character options, just put all five as canon or one of our “additional vampires” from the above pages.
If I may, we would prefer these clans in greater number:
Ventrue
Toreador
Tzimisce
Tremere
Cappadocian (and Giovanni!)
Elder concepts very welcome, as are younger. We want each of the above to have a distinctive power in the auction because there is so much content to draw on for conflict or grief/heartache around the fall of The Dream; the Crusades (for drama between the clans involved); the ongoing Omen Wars and the hatred the Tremere are navigating. It's rare we get to see old school Tzimisce in games at all, let alone with Tremere and Ventrue present.
We want these clans in second priority after them:
Nosferatu (they are brilliant for pulling out the humanity and tragedy in vampirism)
Lasombra (we prefer concepts which go heavy on the religious themes and confessions/corrupted Catholicism, not a big fan of the "Hit Things With Tentacles" concept.)
Brujah (we especially like older scholarly types with Carthage angst)
In third and final priority, we want the following in the lowest numbers:
Malkavian
Gangrel (still would like some because of the glorious Omen War conflict drama to be had with the Tremere)
Ravnos
Children of Haqim
Followers of Set
We don't want these clans to outnumber any of the clans listed before them, and players have generally found that playing a fringe clan provides less gameplay with others (and certainly less clan-play). If you want to enter the game with lots of pregame connections with a strong clan force, aim for one of the clans in the top category; we have a lot of strong roleplayers choosing from these, most of which are happy and eager to mentor. We would really like to encourage old VTM veterans towards those top listed clans. We love seeing the High Clans done well, with all their bigotry and elitism and glorifying self-interest. As organisers we tent to dislike the vampires who wildly break from the mould. We really want the world stereotypes enforced and we find that if you let in too many snowflakes who seem nothing like their clan... well, you lose the feel for that clan in general. That is beautiful for some games and really great; not so much this one.
We love Toreador being dark with their obsessions; Ventrue expecting (and enforcing) the world to bow to their established ideals of elder and High Clan power; Tzimisce caring about hospitality, the old Gods, the old ways and being spitting furious at the Tremere; we want to see Clan Tremere at its power defensive locking leg against multiple external forces but literally a minute later when behind closed doors internally humiliating their apprentices and enforcing the pyramid structure while exercising all the bitchcraft of their group. We love clan stereotypes!
Characters we will not accept:
Antediluvians
Childe of Antediluvians
Lover of Antediluvians
X of Antediluvians
Tremere who have escaped the Tremere and not been killed
Lone Tremere
Combat Nuns
Combat Butlers

We recommend refreshing this page before you start the form, especially if you took time to read the above over (and if you did read it, thank you!). Refreshing the page makes it less likely to time out on you, and eat your answers. Please save your answers somewhere.
You’ll know it went through because you will see a beautiful fat man with hearts in his eyes. He is Sexy Moncada.
Onwards!
