DILAMPA

By Mazer Priest (cymmerian@hotmail.com)

Description

A former band of Caitiff united against the Baali, this small offshoot bloodline has since been cursed in their battles with the demonic kindred. After each day¹s sleep, the Dilampa wakes with two health levels of damage, though this may be healed as normal. Even if the damage is healed, though, it returns every night.

The advantage the once-Caitiff have gained in their trials is a slight bit a respect for their perseverance and the ability to diablerize Baali and Followers of Set without any of the usual side effects (unease, black veins, etc.). Also, their crusades have aided their own inner battles with Humanity, making the trait cost only its current rating to advance rather than double.

Nicknames

Martyrs or Fools

Appearance

Only six Dilampa are known to exist currently, and their thin blood makes it unlikely that they will procreate in any numbers. All are rather like vigilantes, dressing in what could best be described as slightly alternative without being all-out alternative. Most often, the group favors blacks, whites, greys, and blood-red crimson.

Haven

The Dilampa currently reside in Seattle, but move to where the fight is.

Background

The Dilampa were once just a band of holistic Caitiff united against the Baali. Now, after gaining some success in their war, the Caitiff have attracted undue attention, resulting in their current curse.

Concept

Most are of the Avenger or Vigilante concept, though one or two may be Poets, Warriors, Theologians, or Scholars. Though only six Dilampa currently exist, little is known about the personal habits of any of them.

Clan Disciplines

Celerity and Thaumaturgy

Having only two Clan Disciplines, Dilampa can purchase several others at Caitiff cost: Auspex, Fortitude, Potence, Protean, and Quietus. A Dilampa character may begin with one of these Disciplines, though only one and only one dot.

They are also developing the discipline Enha'alinion.

Weaknesses

The Dilampa wakes every night at a minimum of Hurt. If the vampire is already Hurt or worse, no additional damage is incurred.

Organization

None, really. Just a rabble of Clanless.
