HOUND
By Hound (ambient@magi.com)
Introduction
This bloodline was created in response to a conversation about my hair. The pertinant parts of the conversation are reposted as the introduction to the Hound discipline of ecobody.
Founding Clan
Nickname
Plants, Greenies, Earthers, Tree Huggers, Etc.
History
A joke about a certain Storyteller's hair/ecosystem.
Appearance
Hounds are of any race, and clothing is usually uninspired (if visible at all under the folliage and fauna attracted to the ecobody).
Haven
Earth Basements, sometimes appartments, but always a place with lots of greenery and plants.
Background
Often these kindred are chosen because they already sport an ecosystem in their life, (thus the more sedentary are often chosen), otherwise outdoorsy-types are often embraced (or absorbed then embraced.
Character Creation
Usually Couch Potato, Drifter, Rasta or Dead-Head archetypes. Generally laid-back. Social traits are usually last. Usually they have a low mentor rating (sire), one or two points in resources and a few allies and contacts (who never even noticed that they've been embraced, they've always been kinda weird).
Clan Disciplines
Weakness
Anyone with any hair, animal or plant allergy is quite likely to suffer full effects while within 10m of the Hound. Also the smell and appearance surrounding the abilities of the ecobody discipline cause anyone with it to gain a +1 difficulty on all social interaction for every two levels of Ecobody. While Kindred are not usually prone to hay-fever (not needing to breathe and all), Kine exposed to the Hound will find their eyes itchy and their nose running, as well as experiencing regular sneezing fits.
Organization
There is no formal organization in this clan, and members rarely meet.
