Insanitus

By Amanda Spikol (zephrin2@hotmail.com) for the Walkers of the Shattered Sight

Basic

Fortify the Heart of Stone: Because you are a Walker of the Shattered Sight, you've become used to people shunning, mocking, or snubbing you. With this level of power, you may take an automatic re-test on any Social Challenge, thus avoiding humiliation. This can be used only once per night.

Iron Resolve: With this level of power, you many command others to do simple tasks and biddings, but nothing against their Natures, and nothing that would cause them to hurt or kill themselves. This is done by looking them in the eyes and defeating them in a Mental Challenge, and spending a Willpower Trait. Once the action has been completed, they are released from your power, though you may use it again on them later.

Intermediate

Kicked Dog Response: You can make others afraid of you, not meeting your eyes and giving you extreme feared respect for 30 minutes. This is done by staring into their eyes and defeating them in a Mental Challenge, and spending a Willpower Trait. If you win three more of said challenges in the course of that evening, the victim will go into frenzy.

Blurred Stare: By looking first into yourself, then staring into others eyes, you can invoke their Breast Traits, causing a frenzy, or worsen their Derangements. This effect lasts for 10 minutes. The frenzy cannot be calmed; it must run its course, and you must beat the victim in a Mental Challenge, and spend a Blood Trait. A failure means that nothing happens, and victims just see you looking at them funny.

Advanced

Bright Insanity: By touching your forehead, then that of your victim's, you can copy your Derangements and pass them on. You are still as crazy as ever, and retain your Derangements, but for the next 30 minutes, the other person also has them, and must role-play that. To do this, you must defeat victim in a Mental Challenge, and spend both a Blood and Willpower Trait. After the effect wears off, you must spend a Willpower Trait for every additional five minutes you wish the person to be insane.

White Rage: Since your creation was something very unnatural, you are closer to the Beast than most other Kindred. Thus, you can force yourself into a fury, the power of which is appalling. You must spend both a Willpower and Blood point to activate this, and the effects last for five minutes, during which time you cannot be engaged in a Social or Mental Challenge (excepting challenges involving firearms).
