CLAN NOSFERATU
The Nosferatu are the least human-appearing of all the clans. They look something like feral animals. Their smell and appearance are revolting...one could even say monstrous. Long, bulbous ears, coarse-skinned skulls covered with tufts of hair, and elongated faces splotched with disgusting warts and lumps are among their less nauseating features. 

 After Nosferatu have been Embraced, they undergo an exceptionally painful period of transformation. Over a period of weeks, they slowly shift from their mortal contenances to their Nosferatu visages. In the beginning, the childer may revel in their newfound powers, but soon the pain and the changes will begin. The psychological trauma of becoming such a loathsome monstrosity is often more painful than the physical symptoms.

 
Nosferatu usually Embrace those mortals who are twisted in one way or another: emotionally, physically, spiritually or intellectually. They consider the Embrace too horrific to bestow on any worthwhile human beings. With the change into vampires, the Nosferatu hope to somehow redeem the mortals, to give them a second chance. It is surprising how often it works. Underneath the grim exterior, the Nosferatu are practical and surprisingly sane.
 
 Nickname: Sewer Rats 

 Appearance: The changes that the curse has wrought upon the members of this clan are the most dominant of any bloodline. They sport huge fangs, their skin is coarse and wrinkled, and they typically have no hair (except in all the wrong places). 

 Haven: The Nosferatu most often live underground, either in dank cellars or within the city sewer system. When they do live above ground, they frequent abandoned houses and graveyards. 

 Background: They tend to choose their fledglings from the castoffs and failures of society: the homeless, the mentally ill and the hopelessly antisocial.

 
Character Creation: Most Nosferatu have lower-class concepts, and tend to have a stong contrast between their Natures and Demeanors. Physical Attributes are primary, as are Talents. 

 Clan Disciplines: Animalism, Obfuscate, Potence 

 Weaknesses: Nosferatu are so ugly that they have an Appearance of zero. Simply cross off the entire Attribute off the character sheet. Nosferatu fail any action that involves their Appearance (they really are hideous). 

 Organization: They tend to look out for themselves and mingle little with others. They are united in spirit, with an established network, but almost never have formal clan meetings of any sort.

 
Quote: "I don't look for trouble, but if it comes, I hid from it. Damn right, pretty boy. You may call me chicken, but I've known a lot of Kindred over the years who got smart just a few seconds too late. It's not like we can't die, it's just that it don't come natural any more."
