| Brujah Antitribu |

 |
| During the Anarch Revolt, many young Brujah readily took up the cause. Several clan elders denounced the anarchs after a brief dalliance with the revolutionary ideology. The Brujah anarchs saw this as another of the elders' betrayals and treacheries against the young childer of Caine and now nurse an eternal grudge against those elders who joined the Camarilla. Most Sabbat Brujah are very supportive of their sect, unlike the fractious and indolent Brujah of the Camarilla. Not only do they support the sect with enthusiasm, they have an active vision that Sabbat ideology (or propaganda, as their rivals suggest) serves to unify. Brutes often take the roles of soldiers, enforcers and other "muscle" for the Sabbat, which suits them just fine. Sect leaders suspect that the Sabbat Brujah are likely the most numerous non-Lasombra or Tzimisce members of the sect, mainly because they take what they want when they want it - even with regard to potential childer. Many Sabbat see the Brujah antitribu as Tittle more than common thugs, but the clan sags itself as adherents of the Sabbat's original philosophy - freedom. Dismissing the Brujah as brutish punks has been the downfall of more than One Cainite. The Brutes have all the passion and drive of their counterparts in their parent clan, which the Sabbat focuses toward its own ends. An (aspired Sabbat Brujah will go to any length for his cause, which may well be the sect's welfare. For every simple-minded bruiser in the clan, another may have been Embraced for her cunning mind, her social acumen or even for her contacts among the gangs and reform groups with whom the Brutes surround themselves. Like the Camarilla Brujah, the Brujah antitribu are more than leather-jacketed adolescents. Recently, many Brujah antitribu have lost faith in the Lasombra and Tzimisce leaders, and they have made many of their own coups, unsanctioned crusades and victories. Many members of the clan support the Loyalist faction, and a few calm themselves long enough to contribute something of worth to the Black Hand or Inquisition or become paladins. The Brutes are, quite possibly, the future of the sect. |
Roleplaying Hints: You're a vampire, dammit, so you may as well act like it! The world is yours, and no elder's puppets are going to take that from you. Talk and planning have their place, but the Final Nights are the time for action! You may be undisciplined or utterly calculating, but one thing is true in every case: Those who stand idly by never make the change that's necessary to winning the war.
Disciplines: Celerity, Potence, Presence
Advantage: Sabbat Brujah may be vocal firebrands, reasoned intellectuals or bare-knuckled hooligans, like their Camarilla kin, but they tend to be less involved with the influential side of things. Instead of a bonus Influence Trait, Sabbat Brujah may take a second Ability during character creation, free of cost, to reflect the time they spend "doing things the hard way." Brujah may select two Abilities from the following group: Politics, Academics, Brawl and Streetwise, or any combination.
Weakness: Brujah antitribu suffer the same short tempers and blind rages of their parent clan, as their blood carries the same passion for challenge. Sabbat Brujah suffer one-Trait penalties on tests of Self-Control/Instinct.
