User blog:LivesByProxy/Vampire: The Vendetta - The Factions

This is part of my struggle to awaken Vampire from it's long torpor, specifically in the form of a new card game that acts as a spiritual successor to Vampire: The Eternal Struggle (aka VTES). I plan on elaborating more on this in the future.

Each vampire, or 'minion', ideally, should have three subtypes: Family. Faith. Faction. in that order. Of course, many cards would reference these subtypes with their effects.

This page is concerned with the Factions - political entities that seek to control both kine and kin where they can. If one's Family is determine by one's sire and physical traits and characteristics, and one's Faith is whatever beliefs one subscribes to or holds true to explain their condition, the Factions are groups that one joins explicitly for resources, favors, and protection.

Camarilla
The largest organization, they have a strict hierarchy based on age, and promote what they call the Masquerade and Traditions.

Invictus
This group rejects the policies of the other factions, they are a coalition of independent vampires, often with an anarchist bent to them.

Lasombra
Seeks to control the kine with fear and terrorism.

Mossad
The mossad works to accumulate knowledge and is extremely secretive and exclusive.
