BAKI

By Wilhelm the Slayer (uberjedixx@aol.com)

Description

The founder of the Baki (baw-ki) bloodline is a 4th generation vampire named Bakus (baw-kus). Though Bakus himself is a hideous beast, his childer and other descendants are just as normal-looking as all most other Kindred. When the ancient Greek "god," Bakus went on a rampage through Athens, the people revolted and Hercules was called upon. For nearly one hundred years Bakus was left in Torpor until some dumb children decided to feed the lifeless body some blood and he was awakened. This time a young boy, whose name is unknown, was able to cast him into the Mediterranean Sea where he lies in Torpor.

Disciplines

Celerity, Demonism, Protean

Advantages

All Baki start the game with the Merit Acute Vision.

When transforming into a wolf using Protean, the Baki can spend two blood points to shift over a period of one turn or one blood point to shift over a period of two turns.

Weaknesses

Baki hate water; they cannot enter water willingly and cannot learn any water-based disciplines.

The bone of a Lupine through the heart of any Baki will send that individual directly into Torpor. This is unlike being staked because if the bone is removed, the Baki will still be in Torpor.
