VOCADO

By Malk Avian (Urza243457@aol.com)

History

Vocados have often been mysterious, and hardly anyone knows anything about them. In fact, only one has been seen to this day, a tall, extremely beautiful woman appearing at a Toreador social (through the window), taking all of the punch, feeding off of one of the mortal guests, and finally leaving just as suddenly as she arrived, possibly through Obfuscate. Another time one was seen, it was the exact same one, at a Brujah Rant. She staggered in, looking half drunk, and fell. When the Brujah tried to remove her, they suddenly found themselves assaulted by voices, thousands of them, all in their heads, screaming in their collective brains. When they recovered, they couldn't find her anywhere. The Brujah have been starting to complain about all the "weird-ass" clans coming to their Rants all the time. The Final appearance this mysterious Kindred made was leading thousands of, what appeared to be powerful Ghouls into the home of one of the true Black Hand. How they found it, nobody knows to this day, but the Ghouls were crushed in a matter of hours.

Nobody knows who exactly this stranger is . .. except the Malkavians. The one who appered all this time was a Malkavian vampire named Dr. Nuuibub (I just smashed my hand on the keyboard to get a name). While she claims that thousands are in the bloodline, only one is in it: Herself.

The entire bloodline exists within her head, each one a distinctive voice she alone can hear. Sometimes, she just doubles over clutching her head to contain them, because of the vast amount of voices there are.

If one chooses to be a Vocado, she/he must be an 8th generation Malkavian, as any member of the bloodline that happens to not be one of Dr. Nuuibub's voices are directly her Childe.

Nicknames

Damn Loonies (other clans often call them this), Voicemongers.

Disciplines

Auspex, Obfucate, Voice.

Weakness

Vocados always start out with at least three voices in their heads. Every time they frenzy, they gain two additional voices. Sometimes, when the voices speak too much and too loudly (when the amount of voices are greater than the player's willpower), the Vocado becomes totally incapacitated and goes catatonic for the number of rounds equal to the amount of voices she has. The player may make a Willpower roll to resist this (diff 8). Each success makes the roll not needed for one scene (which gives more time to allocate Willpower).

Organization

Vocados have very close ties to their sire, but generally there are too few of them out of her head yet to even know of each other. They usually follow general Malkavian "organization."

Stereotypes

Brujah: They got a few good ideas going. Too bad they don't have a clue about how to follow them out.

Damn Loony. Next time I see one, I put them away where they belong.

Gangrel: They seem so lonely. We feel so sorry for them.

They are too interested in the babbling inside their heads that they ignore the babbling outside.

Malkavian: To put things simply, we are Malkavians in a strange sort of way. Fun guys too.

Who? Oh yea, we love them. (no we don't). Shut up!!!

Nosferatu: Well, they hold together better than most other clans. We give them credit for that. Too bad we don't give it for anything else.

God, I hate those guys. Creepy if you ask me!!

Toreador: We're on pretty good terms with them. Only, we hate the fact that they only invite one of us to a party and neglect to invite the rest. But, that never stopped the rest from crashing the party anyway.

They are always good conversationalists. Sometimes, they're a little out of control. That's when you kick them out.

Tremere: Excuse me, but am I the only one who notices that these guys are completely evil? (I do) Shut up, nobody asked you! anyway, I really don't like them too much. They wanna dissect me alive... Or dead, whatever you call this.

They have proven impossible to exploit, so we must destroy them.

Ventrue: So stuffy and serious, I'm surprised that they haven't been seen as the idiots they are.

Dangerous. Destroy any you encounter.
