INANNA

Description

Inanna is a daughter of Malkav and Goddess of Uruk and Ninive. Reverence for Inanna is widespread in all the cities of the Fertile Crescent in the second millennium before Christ.

When Inanna created her first daughter, the blood bond between them was stronger than any other blood bond previously known. They were like one person, living in separate bodies. It was the same for all daughters of Inanna. For all purposes, they all were Inanna. This afforded them their own discipline which they called One-Mind. Sadly, it also made them vulnerable to what each of their sisters suffered. This eventually led to the extinction of the bloodline.

Nickname

Love Goddess(es)

Appearance

All Inannas are female and outstandingly beautiful. They are very open as to their sexuality and are well-known for their voracious appetite when it comes to men. All rumors of cannibalism are of course false.

Haven

As all Gods of the Cities the Inannas live in their temples. There they receive sacrifices and lovers alike.

Background

Inanna chooses her progeny well. She takes only the most beautiful young women; most were her priestesses in life. As it is customary for all women in the country to spend their first sexual experience with a stranger in one of Inanna's temple, the Goddess sees all of the possible candidates.

Clan Disciplines

Auspex, Obfuscate, One-Mind

Weaknesses

The Malkavian origin of the bloodline calls for a derangement, which invariably is the antithesis of a split personality. All Inannas believe to be one. This is their strength, but also their weakness. When an Inanna of 5th generation is hurt in any way, all other Inannas of the same generation suffer half of the damage she suffers. The 4th generation founder of the bloodline suffers a quarter of that damage. Yes, you can eradicate the bloodline, if you kill four Inannas at the same time, but they usually are wide and far between. In addition, if you destroy the 4th generation Inanna, all her daughters will perish in flames at the same time. In future times, when 5th generation Inannas are allowed to procreate, these flaws will be perpetuated down the line.
