The Caitiff
 | The Caitiff are the stragglers of vampiric society, most notably all vampires who where either embraced and then deserted or who were so thin-blooded that they had no individual clan strengths. Discribed as Riffraff, and beggars, the Caitiff are universally looked down upon, and aren’t organized in anyway to do something about it. Disciplines: Interrestingly, the caitiff are only clan capable of potentially mastering any discipline in existence! Though in the game they are naturally supplied with Animalism, Auspex, Celerity, Obfuscate, Dementation, Dominate, Fortitude, Potence, Protean and Presence. Nickname: Riffraff |
Dark ages
The Caitiff of the dark
ages were most notably the result of a vampire embracing a childe and
then deserting it. In the dark ages the Caitiff would either seek
comfort with vampires who would accept them as yet another member of
the nightly hunt or would simply, stray across the globe without any
true purpose or idea of what-to-do. Often they got in the crossfire of
the Jihad, and many were butchered for no other reason then getting in
the way. Many caitiff of this age were the result of failed Gangrel
embraces, for the Gangrel would desert childes they thought weak.
Modern days
Due to a large increase
in thin-blooded vampires, the caitiff probably became larger then any
other clan. However, these thin-blooded vampires were individually too
weak to form a serious threat to any other organizations, and on top of
this they had no organisation as a clan other then the caitiff that
somehow met up with eachother. Even today, clan Caitiff had not a
single vampire of any reasonable generation, nor a appointed leader,
and by the looks of it, that would never change.
Embraces
Anyone with any sire can
become a Caitiff. Generally, a vampire is considered a Caitiff if
he/she does not know the sire, thusly having no sence of heritage or
clan, resulting in the creation of a Caitiff. Caitiffs can also be
those vampires with thin-blood, meaning they are potentially
substantially weaker then any vampire of a higher generation.
Havens
Anywhere.
As a clan
The caitiff cannot be
truly called a clan. They have no unity, no organisation and most
importantly, no almighty methuselah or antediluvian to tell them who to
trust or what to do.
Strength
The Caitiff are what one
would call a universal type of vampire. Any Caitiff has the potential
to learn any discipline, even if that discipline has only been mastered
by a single other clan.
Weakness
What the Caitiff own in
potential, they lack in talent and mentorship. They require much more
experience to increase the strength (level) of their vampiric powers.
