They wouldn't even need to use Presence to influence my indoctrination.īeing a cult leader is also something that I have a rudimentary level of experience in, as I tried to found my own religion back in highschool. I think that after a few weeks among one of their temples, the clan would find me to be one of their most enthusiastic converts. The Ministry's philosophy of worshiping yourself, and casting off the shackles of societal expectations truly resonates with my cynical nihilism. If there's one conclusion I've come to, it's that morality is subjective for our species, and the law is constantly changing to suit the mentality of whichever organization is powerful enough to seize control at the moment. MINISTRY: My outlook on human society over the course of history is. It would take a considerable amount of time and effort for me to become skilled enough in Vicissitude to where I consider my creations to be an improvement, rather than a mutilated pile of bones and viscera.Īlso, there is the unconfirmed possibility that Vicissitude itself may actually be some kind of demonic parasite that usurps control over its host and enslaves them to the will of the clan's Antedeluvian. Or that I lack a more detailed understanding of how physiology works. The only complaints I would have about the situation, is that I am not good at the whole sculpting art form. Vicissitude has the power to manipulate flesh and bone as easily as clay, pretty much taking the idea of transhumanism and cranking the dial up to 20, before snapping it off! TZIMISCE: As a transhumanist, I am a huge fan of the concept of self controlled evolution, and shapeshifting is perhaps one of, if not my most favorite super powers.

Both speak to me on a deeply personal level, and I honestly can't decide which one I want more. That way, we can claim you were making an informed decision when choosing your clan.įor me, this is a very difficult choice between the Ministry and the Tzimisce. So if you found yourself in a position where you were free to choose which clan you gained entry to, which would it be, and why?įor the sake of making things simpler, we'll be discussing this question with the assumption that you are at the very least basically familiar with what the clans stand for, and how they operate. I also think that this question has significant relevance to Bloodlines 2, as the story involves you starting as a Thinblood and eventually joining one of the official clans. But now, I think it would be interesting to start a thread talking about the inverse option. So, we've had a thread talking about which clan would want you IRL, thanks to D-503. I've been given permission to recreate it!)) ((Mod accidentally merged my thread with the similarly titled one.
