QUAGMIR

By Hastur7 (staffler@wycol.com)

Description

The Quagmir is a clan of kindred, like the Nosferatu, that cannot show themselves to humanity. Their founder, unknown to this day, diablerized a vampire elder. The prince of the city, a Malkavian, ordered the vampire bound and tossed into a nearby swamp. After a few days in the swamp, the vampire pulled himself from the slimy mess. But he had become a hideous, slime-drenched corpse! Horrified by the change, he went and killed the prince and went on a murderous rampage, creating other vampires of kind. The higher generations look more human-like, but they still stink.

Nickname

Swamp Things.

Sect

Quagmirs exclusively belong to the Sabbat. A lot of bad blood exists between the quagmir and the Malkavians for obvious reasons.

Appearance

Quagmirs of generation 8 or less look like bad-smelling, slime-drenched corpses. Quagmir of lower generation look like normal people except they have green hair and rotten teeth. Both types smell bad.

Haven

As one would guess, Quagmir prefer swamps, sewers, toxic waste dumps and landfills as havens. These places help hide their terrible stench.

Backgrounds

Most Quagmir are outcasts and shiftless bums. A few are rich people who offer their elders a lucrative lifestyle for a time.

Character Creation

Most quagmir have high Strength. Almost none have high social attributes. Common backgrounds include Herd, Mentor, and Resources.

Clan Disciplines

Potence, Dominate, Vicissitude

Weakness

All quagmir of 8th generation or higher have an appearance of zero. No quagmir has any social attribute above three. All Quagmir automatically botch seduction roles due to their smell.

Organization

All Quagmir are lone wolves. They abandon their childer upon embracing them, leaving them too fend for themselves.

Bloodlines

A small group of these wretched vampires live in the Camarilla, but these are few and far between.
