VOIAN

By Jordan Douglas (jordanth@hotmail.com)

Description

The Founder of the Voian Clan was originally a Brujah. Embraced violently and without being told, his Sire was killed soon after by a Psychotic Vampire Hunter. The founder was an intelligent college student, but also a tough. Finding the Brujah intellectually pitiful, he broke off, and created a clan of his own. The founder had a fascination with the stars, and space, the void. It was his wish that his clan would have intellectuals who could take care of themselves: strong and independent. Closely tied to each other, they tend to ignore other clans. Creativity is prized as well as intelligence; pure logic is found useful but creative logic works better.

The founder had a brilliant mind for psychology, and created the Discipline Psycholosol.

Nickname

Dreamers. (That's what all the other vampires think they are.)

Appearance

The Voians look as they did when they were living, with their looks enhanced, physical beauty being rather important to the Clan, though exceptions are sometimes made in cases of extreme intelligence. All Voians are well muscled, and are good fighters, whether they like to fight or not.

Voians, independent as they are, dress however they feel like dressing. A Voian is easily known by his symbol, which is a starfield within a hunter's green circular band. This symbol can be a patch, a normal part of their clothing, or even jewelry, sometimes even etched on a visible weapon or sheath.

Haven

The Voians live wherever they feel like, sometimes in groups, often by themselves. The main haven though, is inside a mountain that they have turned into a sort of mission control center. Inside they are building a starship unlike anything ever seen before. This ship, called the Voidan, is meant to be a type of colony ship, for traveling among the stars.

Background

A Voian must have at least high school graduation, with no scores below an A-. The new Voian must not have a record in drugs or other things to that point, though a natural criminal record is accepted (stealing, murder, etc...) Exceptions on the graduation limit are sometimes made for younger teens who show remarkable brilliance.

Those chosen are always asked if they wish to become a vampire, though if they refuse they 'disappear' and become slaves in the mountain. Voian's are a very high-tech clan; if you can get your hands on the latest technology, do so is something they are told often. Members of both sexes are welcomed into the clan.

Character Creation

They are Bravo's by nature, as well as Connivers, Gallants, or Rebels. Their demeanor is what suits them as long as it goes along with clan standards.

Bloodline Disciplines

Psycholosol, Celerity, Potence, Dominate, Fortitude, and lower levels of Auspex.

Weaknesses

Vanity. The Voians are vane, and will go to measures to make sure they look fine, notice. Insulting their looks is not a smart thing to do. Fury is somewhat of a problem among Voians; they tend to receive a temper along with eternal life.

Voians are generally likeable but sometimes their vanity can cause problems. Many an enemy has been made because a Voian complimented himself once too much at a party or social gathering.

Organization

The clan is like a small army turned research team. They are always on the lookout for new devices, ideas, etc... Many times Voians work together, and love is not an uncommon thing between clan members of the opposite sexes. All Voians wish to gain the goal of space travel and interstellar exploration.

The clan founder travels with his research groups sometimes, not afraid to show himself to the world. Members of the clan have infiltrated organizations such as NASA and stolen aerospace plans and blueprints. Such a thing is not uncommon: another's loss is our gain.

Bloodline Prestige

Prestige comes from stealing, or inventing new devices that will help send the Voians to their ultimate goal, deep space. A Voian can also gain prestige by capturing an intelligent slave but not as much as coming up with a new design or idea. They plan to colonize new planets with human slaves of their minds, planets ruled by Vampires.

Pronunciation

Voi-an (Voy[rhymes with toy]-an)

Quote

"We shall travel throughout the entire Universe and rule as Masters of the Stars."

Stereotype

Camarilla: Depends on which Clan your talking about. Brujah are toughs with no brains. Ventrue, uptight snobs. Gangrel, possible friends, loners as we can be. Malkavians, wackos. Nosferatu, ugly but useful. Tremere, magic loving vampires who are either to be allied with or avoided. Toreador, finally, some kindred with taste!

Sabbat: Oh joy, just what we need, more vampires to avoid. (Who cares?)

Inconnu: They have a good idea, but what's the point of being called a vampire if you don't feed?
