________

By Daniel Y. Yokomiso (daniel_yokomiso@hotmail.com) for the ________ bloodline

Author's Notes

When I read about the "________" bloodline, I found that was an amazingly funny bloodline. The idea was hilarious, but something was missing: a unique discipline. So I created "________", which is different from the bloodline name (really). The discipline's levels were named by other Kindred, who met them, because they don't have any name for it. I suggest to the "________" the following clan disciplines: "________", Chimerstry and Dementation.

* Charade

The "________" can't speak, but he can make someone understand his strange mimes. Charade allows him to make gestures that nobody, except the target, will understand. It's an amazing way to say important things to a single target, while everyone else understands nothing at all.

System: Requires a Manipulation + Acting roll (difficulty of the target's 11-Intelligence). With one success only one word can be transmitted, but with five successes the "________" can say a couple of long sentences to the target. Each success requires a full turn of gestures.

** Mimeling Trickery

The "________" can make minor mime pranks. Any effect can be created, and while none of them should be harmful, they most certainly should be annoying to the victim. The vampire must make the gestures and mimes to create the effect.

System: Requires a Manipulation + Acting roll (difficulty equals the target's Willpower). Just one success is needed, but several successes increases the trick's intensity.

Some common tricks are: creating an invisible wall which lasts for one hit; filling an invisible bucket with invisible water and throwing it; creating an invisible banana, eating it and dropping the peel to make a target slip; creating an invisible chair and hitting your opponent with it.

*** Mimefy

Now the "________" can curse someone else with his condition. Any single target can be "mimefied" (transformed into a mime). The target's skin become pure white and he loses the ability to speak. Another "________" can undo the mimefy, but usually they don't.

System: Roll Willpower versus a difficult of the target's Willpower. The effect lasts for a length of time based on the number of successes rolled. It cost two points of Willpower. You also can remove the curse from someone by spending two points of Willpower.

Successes	Duration
Botch	Target now is permanently immune to Mimefy
1	One scene
2	One night
3	One week
4	One month
5	One year
6+	Permanent

**** Against the Wind

With this power the "________" can create a powerful invisible wind that will affect only the targets. He won't be affected by the wind, and everyone else will feel nothing at all.

System: By rolling Manipulation + Acting (difficult 6), the "________" can create a powerful invisible wind. He must make the "walking against the wind" mime. Each success allows him to affect one single target. Anyone that feels the wind must roll Strength + Athletics (difficult 8) and get three successes to walk against the wind. If target botches, he will be carried by the wind. It costs one Willpower point and lasts until the "________" ends his "walking against the wind" mime. If the "________" botches, only he will be affected by the wind.

***** Invisible Box

The ultimate mime. "________" are feared for this power, the dreaded curse of the invisible box. Anyone affected will be locked in an invisible box. The box is very hard, and nothing but air passes by its walls. It can be moved, carried, painted, like one real box, but can't be opened.

System: You must roll Willpower versus a difficulty of the target's Willpower. The power lasts for a length of time based on the number of successes rolled. Each Willpower point spent during the creation of the box gives it two soak levels, and someone trying to break it must have a Strength + Potence pool equal to its total soak pool. If the target was "Mimefied", the difficult of the roll gets a -2 modifier.

Successes	Duration
Botch	You are in an invisible box for the remainder of the scene
1	One turn
2	One scene
3	One night
4	One week
5	One month
6+	One year
