Vampire Clan: Gangrel

The Clan of the Beast, Animals, Bêtes, Outlanders, Outlaws, Wolf's-Heads, Beasts, Ferals

The Gangrel, a clan of nomads, maintain stronger connections to untamed landscapes compared to their urban-dwelling counterparts. They possess a profound affinity for the primal instincts of the Beast and excel in the art of fleshcrafting. Originally, they were among the seven clans that established the Camarilla, but as the Modern Nights unfolded, they grew disenchanted with the sect. Eventually, the Gangrel elders made the decision to sever their ties and forge a path as a predominantly independent clan.

Disciplines: Animalism, Fortitude, Protean

Bane - Bestial Features: In frenzy, these Gangrel gain one or more animal features: a physical trait, a smell, or a behavioral tic. These features last for one more night afterward, lingering like a hangover following debauchery.

Culture

The Gangrel, known for their feral and predatory nature, are considered the most solitary and unsociable among the Kindred. Preferring solitude over society, they exhibit reclusive tendencies, animalistic instincts, and a loose organizational structure. Their territorial and possessive nature is so intense that entering a Gangrel's domain without permission inevitably leads to certain death. While they are renowned as formidable warriors, convincing a Gangrel to collaborate, even with their own kind, proves to be an arduous and often impossible task.

The Clan's legends, myths, and methods of gaining prestige are predominantly passed down orally. Storytelling and the ability to captivate an audience hold significant social value, as gatherings in the wilderness offer little else besides entertaining one another with grand tales and songs. While most of these stories contain elements of truth, a satisfying and embellished narrative outweighs the importance of factual details. The Gangrel do not engage in outright deception but rather embellish the truth to appear more impressive, much like a cat fluffing its fur to appear more menacing. Honoring one's spoken word is highly esteemed, as the only barrier preventing another vampire from betraying you is their own sense of honor. This is not to say that socially inclined Gangrel cannot participate in the Jyhad. In fact, many of them derive some degree of enjoyment (or at least begrudging acceptance) from the grand masquerade of betrayal, conspiracy, and power struggles that characterizes much of Kindred existence.

The Gangrel also maintain strong ties with the Romani community and go to great lengths to protect and provide shelter for them, especially from other Kindred. However, the Ravnos claim a similar connection to the Romani, resulting in a deep-seated mutual hatred between the two clans that spans centuries.

Despite the Clan's rural nature, it may come as a surprise that even higher-generation Gangrel possess adeptness in managing modern technology such as cell phones, computers, and cutting-edge vehicles. Recognizing the importance of technological knowledge for survival in the modern nights, the Gangrel have adapted, and even the eldest among them possess the know-how to operate a microwave.

The Gangrel's emphasis on oral history and traditions, including tales of their Antediluvian progenitor, puts them at odds with the Camarilla's official stance that such ancient accounts do not exist.

[pueraeternuspan]

i hate this popular sentiment that's like "nobody cares about your baby" "nobody cares what you had for dinner" "nobody cares about your spotify wrapped" like ok why are you on social media following people whose lives you don't care about. there's an easy fix for that

"Eh, the elders aren't fun. I get some parts of the rules and all, but other parts aren't making much sense." He shrugs. "Well, it helps get intel and gets me closer to people."

"Hmm it is what I call all new Kindred. Hmm I do love the irony considered people consider me an elder when I'm only about.. hmm a hundred and thirty give or take. Heh, yes. I agree. But unfortunately, I've heard the same old tone for a long time and no one has come close... at least not here. Some decades ago, it did come very close but alas.." He probably was speaking of times that no younger cared to hear.

"It can. I have a coterie already... a group of acquaintances if you don't mind meeting them first. They look like my age, but are younger. But connections can work and I am curious how far you will go. What is in it for me? You want my help, and what can I get in return?"

"Aww, now that's quite rude." He smirks though as he stands up. Now this guy was an interesting one. "Can't help but play as a cat to get close to others. Less likely to be seen as a threat than a dog."

"It is a special trait shared among my clan. And I prefer more of an animal form than some human one" He stretches his body, "and curious to meet the new pup that's causing quite a racket to the old farts above, oh to have been the fly on the wall when you came along... metaphorically speaking"

Color him impressed. Given Peter was only one to care about others when they're interesting to him. "Petrus Banning at your service, but most call me by the more fairy tale like name: Peter Pan. Feel free to use the latter if you wish." He smiles again.

The cat looked up at him and walks a few feet away, turning around to face him and sat down. Ears twitching before slowly changing back into the young adult he was.

"Glad you asked over kicking me, laddie. Just thought you looked lonely and needed some company" He grins a fanged grin.

Sometimes Peter goes too far with a punishment. Sometimes Peter promises something to Felix, something special, something exclusive, and he breaks that promise immediately, like getting flirty with the older Lost Boys, or having a secret affair with a certain handsome pirate. 

Felix knows he has no right to call Peter out on this. The last time he did, Peter chewed him out in front of all the Lost Boys. How dare Felix try to embarrass Peter in front of his own Lost Boys. How dare Felix think he was important enough to hold Peter accountable for anything.

Felix knows that he’ll lose more than he’ll ever possibly gain when he calls Peter out, so he bottles it up and prays it never happens again. When Felix can’t bottle it up anymore, he disappears. He stews in solitude until the feelings pass, and then he returns to the boys weeks later. When he’s alone, Felix prays that Peter would push past his pride, come to him and apologize, but he never does. Why would he? 

Malcolm shows up instead. A quirky, old wizard who lived on Neverland before the Lost Boys. He always finds Felix when he’s upset, sits down to listen, tries to cheer him up, whispers apologies that Felix always wanted to hear. Malcolm is Felix’s secret friend, the one he leans on when he’s weak, the one he goes to when Peter is too much.

As long as he never finds out the truth, Malcolm will be there for him.
