The Bak-Ra[1] are a bloodline of the Mekhet clan. Originating in Ancient Egypt, the Bak-Ra are sun-worshippers who fervently believe that they were once able to walk beneath the sun as easily as any human.
Overview[]
The Bak-Ra were once the leaders of the Great Covenant of Egyptian Kindred, wielding power that both terrified and awed their brethren. Once Rome invaded Egypt, however, the Bak-Ra found themselves being hunted down by the Roman Kindred along with the other followers of the Egyptian gods. Many of the Bak-Ra entered voluntary torpor as a means of escape, hoping to keep Ra’s greatest, most powerful secrets away from the Ventrue-led Kindred of Rome.
Unfortunately for the Bak-Ra, they were forgotten, left buried in their tombs for thousands of years, unable to awaken themselves, consumed by madness and trapped in the fog of time. Now, they have an unquenchable thirst to re-establish their past glory. In modern nights, their only hope is to rediscover their history and locate the rituals, tools and abilities that made them what they once were.
Sadly, no known member of this bloodline has awakened with their memories intact, and those who have managed to crawl up from their tombs find that they are often the targets of scorn, ridicule, and mockery. This only fuels their insane fervor more, feeding their Beast for the night that they can prove their greatness and exact their revenge.
Weakness[]
In addition to the Mekhet clan weakness, the Bak-Ra, as devoted (some would say fanatical) sun-worshippers, have difficulty leaving the sunlit world behind and joining the dark Requiem every night. Bak-Ra characters require an extra Vitae point to wake up each evening.
