Lasombra

Proud nobles who command the very essence of darkness and shadow — to the point of worshiping it, some say.

Disciplines: Oblivion, Dominate, Potence

Bane: Distorted Image: The broken souls of Lasombra vampires are halfway drawn into the Abyss. All reflections and recordings distort, flicker, or become transparent (though this does not conceal their identity with any certainty). Microphones have the same difficulty with the vampire's voice as cameras have with their image, touch technology becomes unresponsive at best, and their anomalous nature makes it harder to avoid electronic detection systems. With effort they may overcome this difficulty but it’s as if they exist on a slightly different frequency to other beings, flickering in and out of light. Many Lasombra have attendants to handle technology for them, but a few strange beasts manage without.

Compulsion: Ruthlessness: To the Lasombra, failure is not an option. Their Blood urges them to increasingly ruthless measures when the Beast flares and they are faced with failure. The next action they fail after suffering this Compulsion causes all rolls to receive a penalty until a future attempt at the same action succeeds.
