About: Predatory Aura   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Every step she takes, every corner she turns, a Kindred’s Beast stands ready to face threats, to defend territory, and most importantly, to feed. To the Beast, everything is a challenge, a potential conquest, a meal, or a combination of the three. To other predators, the Beast is a palpable thing. This presence, the predatory aura, builds a paradox in Kindred society. On one hand, it guarantees vampires remain one misstep away from each other’s throats. On the other hand, it forces Kindred to hold to traditions and propriety, in order to keep the Beast at bay and force a modicum of nicety.

  • Every step she takes, every corner she turns, a Kindred’s Beast stands ready to face threats, to defend territory, and most importantly, to feed. To the Beast, everything is a challenge, a potential conquest, a meal, or a combination of the three. To other predators, the Beast is a palpable thing. This presence, the predatory aura, builds a paradox in Kindred society. On one hand, it guarantees vampires remain one misstep away from each other’s throats. On the other hand, it forces Kindred to hold to traditions and propriety, in order to keep the Beast at bay and force a modicum of nicety. Without a Discipline or other ability to mask the predatory aura, Kindred perceive other vampires as their own kind. If they can smell the vampire, they know it’s a vampire. If they touch a vampire, they know it’s a vampire. Note that this is one-sided: one character may not notice the other. Further, a vampire can voluntarily intensify their predatory aura to elicit a reaction. Against other Kindred, this escalates the encounter, forcing fight or flight instincts. Lashing out with the Beast takes an instant action, against Kindred costs a point of Willpower; it’s free to bring against a mortal.
