The Cauli bloodline reflects the tiger in all aspects; they are hedonistic, arrogant, powerful, stealthy, and cruel: a wretched combination in a kine, but a creation of excellence in kindred circles. The Cauli have begun their spread to the corners of the globe, easily able to masquerade (there's that word again) as their mother clan 'Gangrel.' The Cauli are not obsessed with some aspects of kindred interest, indeed they show no signs as a whole of any type of remorse or regret over their state.
Golconda: Easily seen as pointless when viewed against their clan weakness (8 Maximum humanity) The Cauli have already accepted a spiritual aspect, and it is not one of peace with the self... it is peace with the tiger spirit. Those who seek Golconda are viewed as fools with too much time on their hands and too much blood in their systems.... vampires like tigers are hunters.. and not meant for remorse.
The Jyhad: While a Cauli can make a fine living serving as agents in the Jyhad, they feel that superstitions of Gehenna are just that... Kine are not so stupid as to allow the kindred to rise up in power to the point where the fable could become reality.. and a world filled with vampires is unlikely when one takes note of their enemies (mages, Garou, themselves.)
Redemption of any sort is not sought by the ultimate beast (the vampire) for the same reason that a perfect pair of socks won't apologize to any other pair of socks (a favorite phrase.. who knows where it came from).
Garou Intolerance: a Cauli is so attuned to the master feline that 'dogs' become incredibly offensive, a Cauli must spend 3 willpower to avoid a Frenzy in the presence of known or revealed Garou.
Felicity: Cauli are so damn happy and self-possessed that they can be assumed to have Iron Will upon initial character creation; they cannot be dominated or mentally swayed by any means.
Like the Gangrel they fight well. Like us they rebel. But, they primp way too much.
Gangrel: What can we say, sometimes children out do their parents. Still, you can always count on a cousin.
Evolution in action. Their hates and loves may be the end of them.
Malkavian: Get to know them. Sometimes logic isn't the answer, and in a case like that, having a Malkavian on your side is a real plus.
I have some tuna here somewhere.
Nosferatu: I'm sure glad they have Obfuscate.
What do you get when you cross a Toreador and a Gangrel?
Toreador: If any clan could love us, it would be them. We are art.
They like us too much.. and we don't know why.
Tremere: Hunters of another sort: let them use you; let them adore you and then leave town.
Warriors, all of them; get one under your belt.
Ventrue: Leaders, yes -- of the rest. Bring one into your territory and see how well he leads.
I'd rather get a dog.
Assamites: Incredible! Were it possible to respect them more we would do it: dark, silent and deadly. Almost perfect (like us)
We will kill them last...
Followers of Set: Depravity isn't so bad, but you know how well Cats and snakes get along.
Tigers spend a lot of time in the dark; they will find their way to us.
Giovanni: They're stalking their own concrete jungles; lets hope we never interest them.
Lamarckian Evolution may not be the joke we thought it was. I'd like to -- get to know one.
Ravnos: Party Down! Find one, follow him, act friendly, talk him up and down, and don't take anything to the party.
Always a good time and they react a lot better than Gangrel. They don't seem to care about anything -- they follow our path easily.
Salubri: Hey when I meet one I'll form an opinion...okay?
Monsters hiding in the dark and licking their claws. We will save those who seek salvation, however.
Daughters of Cacophony: When they sing nice, they sing nice; when they don't, gut them.
Unpredictable at best.
Samedi: Too potent to overlook, too fearsome to blow off, and too damn ugly for their own good.
We love death; they love the hunt. If only they looked better they could be us...(laugh)
The Camarilla: Fine chaps, really (you listening?)
Cauli's children need leashes.
The Sabbat: Wonderful, love them too...
They fight our fight. They won't admit it but they are pure Black Hand through and through.
The Inconnu: Fools. (mocking) "Oh I'm a killer and a drinker of blood. God forgive me." Please...
A new player in the game who thinks he can play by his own rules -- just like the rest of them.
