MONDAY, JUNE 28 What Clan Are You? – In Vampire: The Requiem, Kindred blood runs in five large clans. Every Kindred (with a few, possibly apocryphal, exceptions) is Embraced into one of these clans. This heritage defines some of the nature of their damnation. This week we take a look at each of the five. Clan Daeva Nickname: Succubi Disciplines: Daeva are masters of Majesty, the vampiric Discipline of lust and want. Their blood also favors the inhuman grace and power of the Disciplines of Celerity and Vigor. Weakness: The Daeva’s cursed blood enslaves them to darker passions. Any time a Daeva has an opportunity to indulge her Vice but does not do so, she loses two points of Willpower. |
Emotional
and sensual, the Daeva cultivate both desire among their prey and
physical perfection among themselves. Sexual predators and sensual
hedonists alike populate the ranks of the clan. Succubus sires look
for some combination of charm, culture, seductiveness, desire to
achieve, passion and physical beauty. Many Daeva Embrace mortals
to whom they have become attached, but this attachment almost invariably
proves false, a mixture of lust and simple hunger. Few relationships
are as euphoric as those between a Daeva and a newly Embraced childe,
and few grow cold as swiftly.
