General Description

A form a vampire that has had the changeling part of himself/herself unleashed.

Full Description

This type of kindred/kith is not like the champire; it does not mimic vampires, it is a vampire. This clan has two main abilities:
1. They have dragon wings that they must keep out until they spend 2 glamour to absorb them. Then they cannot be regrown unless the kindred/kith spends an amount of blood points equal to his stamina divided by 2 rounded up. These wings may be used to fly, but are subject to banality. They can still fly in public; it's just that the difficulty increases by a significant amount (max 10).

2. They have a sort of gargoyle (not the kith clan, but real life gargoyles) feature; they can start to turn their skin to stone at will; this feature has advantages and disadvantages; For one thing the kindred/kith can either have 2 points of stamina or 1 level of fortitude per level, but for each level he also loses one dexterity point, which can make it very hard to move at 0, like say, an inch every half hour. To use this ability, the kindred/kith must spend one blood point per level, and may remove these levels at will for no blood cost (all advantages and disadvantages lost); as an added effect, the kindred/kith will not be hurt by sunlight, but, instead will turn to pure stone for the day. When night falls again the kindred/kith will return to normal, while in this daylight stone state the vampire would be exactly like stone, nonmoving, nonthinking, no-nothing except waiting.

One becomes a dragon in three ways: creating one from character creation, being normal or changeling and being Embraced by a member of the dragon clan, and very rarely, one may become a dragon if a vampire finds the leader of the dragon clan and somehow get her to use her powerful (and exhausting) changeling magic to unlock the fae part in the vampire.

Miscellaneous Comments

1. These "dragons" do not breath fire nor do they do not have scales, and they do not have a tail, except when in a frenzy. In a frenzy, a totally random effect will happen that is up to the storyteller; the player has no control over this, the effects may include minor transfromations, e.g. a stubby tail, a snake like tongue, larger ears, claws, and always an added bonus of 1 to strength and stamina.

2. These kindred/kith have no choice about walking in sunlight like vampires with fortitude. If one ray hits them; they will instantly be in the stone state described above. They are still afraid of fire, but no longer have to fear a rotschreck, and fire only does regular wounds. They are still very afraid of fire, but rather than an insanity, it's merely a phobia.
3. These kindred/kith are disliked by almost all of vampire society, but as long as they stay in hiding, no-one will really care. It is totally legal in the masquerade to diablerize a "dragon," in addidtion to this, in changeling society they are shunned but not as badly. The Seelie hate them, but the Unseelie will just usually never give them the benefit of the doubt.

4. A major advantage of this clan is that the kindred/kith can now have changeling powers and vampire disciplines, but the only clan discipline for the dragon clan is fortitude.
5. if a player makes a "dragon" from character creation, like all normal characters, he must choose a clan. Vampires would choose vampire clans and fae would choose changeling clans, but a player making a dragon must choose 1 changeling clan and 1 vampire clan and take the natural disadvantages and advantages from both. For example, if a player chose the redcap kith and the malkavian clan, he would have any disadvantages a redcap would have, and the derangement from being malkavian, but since all redcaps can eat anything they can fit their mouths around, it would be considered something that the newly created character could keep as an advantage, but he would not keep the clan disciplines/arts. He may of course keep any disciplines/arts he chooses during his creation and in the case of an already created character turning to a "dragon" he would keep all arts already learned.
6. This kith/kindred has a mixture of the outlooks of the clans he chooses except that they generally look down upon champires as kindred wannabes.
