Kindred (VTM)

In Vampire: The Masquerade, Kindred is the most common euphemism for a vampire. Alternate terms include: Cainite (implying descent from Caine), and Vee. Kindred use the term Kindred and Kine to refer to all of humanity.

Kindred is most commonly used by Vampires who maintain their Humanity. Sabbat vampires prefer to call themselves Vampires or Cainites, to show that they don't fall into some petty game of denial by pretending they're still human.
