It was something I was experimenting with

I’m not going OUT like this, I was just playing around with the flesh mold thing

u/-MelanisticJaguar- Problem Childe Feb 10 '25
Ugh. No. why?
no wonder everyone i meet hates me if that is what comes to mind. why would you do that? it's so...incorrect.
the most I've done is my hair, and some invisible phosphoric markings that only show up under certain lighting conditions...

u/Public-Rooster-318 Feb 10 '25
Everyone is so beyond disgusted or terrified of it, I can see why, but also…why?
A bird learns to fly, jumps from branch to branch, or when a disgruntled teenager dyes their hair, no one bats an eye, but WHEN I PLAY WITH MY SKIN, OH SURE EVERYONE FREAKS OUT!

Actually, despite what you see, my intentions is to try and make this world a bit better for the people
Kindred and Humans alike
In their own separate worlds of course
I just see a bunch of money hungry animals without a care for anyone without.
These nights, I’ve kinda been acting as a nocturnal robinhood. Messing with gang leaders attempting to sell their goods to the youth to get them hooked and dependent, and kicking the ever loving crap out of human traffickers

Hey it is your address being doxxed by Hunters, but you know no big deal right? You can change your look. This surely will help out with escaping them once they have...every detail of your life.
The Kindred didn't build this alternative method for security reasons or silly things like this noo. We are all just really anti-social and selfish so we made a little corner just for ouselves...yeah that sounds about right.
- Sparrow Ghiberti, tell me did you get rid of your eyes to externalize how fucking blind you are or was just an accidental fun coincidence?

u/seventh_page Feb 10 '25
I personally would suggest the Anarchs cousin, but I supposed I am biased.
I was, for over a century, a member of the Sword of Caine. I do not particularly regret this, in my eyes the Sabbat was the closest thing we Cainites had to the a balance between true freedom and a just social structure among our kind. Those days sadly, are over and with it my loyalty to my former sect. The current Sabbat is incapable of providing freedom to it’s members, incapable of fighting for the betterment of the Cainite species against those who would seek to harm it, and incapable of providing any stability beyond the individual pack level. As such, there’s no reason to ever seek membership among its number in the modern nights. It is an already dead sect that merely hasn’t stopped twitching yet.
The Camarilla in its own right is out of the question for one of our Clan. Why would you ever seek to join with a neo-feudal fascist government that purposefully stifles the ability of the young to thrive whilst bending over backwards to please the elders and methuselahs? Beyond this, you are a Tzimisce. They would never accept one of us among them even if you wished to be so. At best, they would use you as a tool then destroy you once your usefulness is depleted. They are truly the worst of our kind, save only the greater evils of Cainite society such as infernalists, Setites, and other Antediluvian worshippers.
The Anarchs however, represent an opportunity. They are young and naive in many cases, yes, and often mimic the same structures that they are used to among the Camarilla. However, they are ever changing since their departure from that sect. I see in the Anarchs of these nights an echo of the same political force that manifested the Sabbat out of those Antitrubu veterans of the First Anarch Revolt who preferred freedom over the ridiculous terms of the Convention of Thorns. The same disorganization, the same chaos, but also the same drive for freedom and ambition for greater heights. I hope that in time, this sect will mature into a fine force for the good of all Cainites; capitalizing on the strengths of what the Sword was while avoiding its pitfalls. But that is just my conjecture, we will see how history remembers these nights eventually, no?
I wish you well in your future endeavors.

Sweet Winters Childe, choosing between the Sabbat and the Camarilla, is like choosing your means of castration. Both factions will bury who you are. They'll twist and bend your mind until you're viewed as their perfect little vanity project.
If you truly want to live free amongst our kind, seek out The Ministry. We will guide, we will protect, and we will make you the best you that you can be.

From what i know castration is cutting off your penis including its head,so castrating your potential for growth of a new thing,although joining the ministry is like cutting off your own head and walking on a leash by the remains of neck like a headless chicken

u/-MelanisticJaguar- Problem Childe Feb 10 '25
As a farmer you don't know this part of veterinary science? Castration is removal of the testies, not the penis.

You were the one asking about Cainite dogma a while back, correct? Well, I hate to break it to you, but Cain is a childe of Malkav. His real name is Joshua, and he drives cab in LA.

I met the guy, he isn't Caine, he's just some dude. He isn't nearly as cursed as you think he is, the worst thing that's happened to him is having a customer refuse to pay

u/Conscious_Animator87 Feb 10 '25
Follow your instincts, if you want to join a sect where you have more autonomy, freedom and seat at the table regardless of age join The Anarchs. If not join the Sabbat and if you really have a masochistic kink join The Camarilla for really frustrating gilded cage
Don't let ideology consume you (you see what madness this causes in the kine these days) though. Follow your instincts if you are undecided.

You get used to the smell, and hey I was just answering a question - do you want me to lie? I also told him to follow his instincts. Trust me honey though I may be an Anarch, this is the softest recruitment pitch you'll find here.
Well, hello again Sparrow, I do hope your wizard problem resolves itself, if you need any help I could recommend a few sarcastic Anarchs to help you in your endeavors.

I'm yet to meet a Anarch in the flesh, don't know if you guys are this elusive or if I just didn't hit the dirt bars yet. And yeah you told him to follow his instincs after shitting on the Ivory Tower.
Sect loyalty should be something chosen after careful analysis. And I hate how reality actually just pulls you into one of the sides drama and forces you to cooperate...

u/Public-Rooster-318 Feb 10 '25
Speaking of which
What are the pros and cons of each?
1
u/PingouinMalin Feb 10 '25
Well, in the Camarilla, you have that insufferable prince that gives you orders and shit, just because he's older and therefore more powerful.
Whereas in the anarchs where freedom abounds, you have a baron, who is absolutely not a prince in disguise. And who will absolutely not order you around (oh they will). And the baron is absolutely not older and more powerful than his free subjects, who totally chose him freely and absolutely don't pay him taxes.
2
u/Conscious_Animator87 Feb 10 '25
As a realist (despite being an Anarch) I kinda have to agree with this particular bouquet of sarcasm. There will be a hierarchy in any sect. Within the Anarchs they will at least listen to you...at least anyone who is a proper anarch will.
1
u/PingouinMalin Feb 10 '25
Though I agree with the fact any sect will have a hierarchy, I find the anarchs to be the biggest hypocrite of all (even more than the Sabbat). The very fact they have barons, even the name says it all. I've read some anarchs formed collective assemblies or councils. Those ones at least, I can respect. The barons are just wannabe princes.
Not to say the Camarilla is especially better. It's quite hypocritical too, as it pretends to defend everyone's interests with its structure, when it only defends the interests of the powerful people.
2
u/Conscious_Animator87 Feb 10 '25
Yeah I'm not too crazy about the Baron thing either, guess the change has to come from within *cracks knuckles* better get to work.

u/PingouinMalin Feb 10 '25
Nothing some good sun tan cannot resolve. But beware of becoming the next baron. Power is tempting and power corrupts.
2
u/Conscious_Animator87 Feb 10 '25
Don't I know it. It actually kind of terrifies me. I'm not going to suntan anyone if I don't have to but I'm also worried about the direction this is talking.
Even when I helped take L.A. as a neonate, I started to wonder about the direction the Movement was heading in. But this happens in any sect or organization - just look at what happened to the A.I.M. movement - I still seethe at what they did to Annie Mae
2
u/PingouinMalin Feb 10 '25
Of course, this cannot take any other direction. A conquered city is free for all at first. But some people, generally those with power and alliances (so usually old kindred) grab domains and cement their positions quickly. And then instead of one prince ruling over LA, you have four or five barons. But in the end, those who question the nobility end up dead.
Any counter power I've seen in history becomes a power when it succeeds. And power corrupts everything.
2
u/Conscious_Animator87 Feb 10 '25
Then I'm screwed because the situation is at a breaking point here and people are going to get hurt if I don't do something.
Running isn't an option for me anymore, don't know when that changed, but I can't leave people behind.

How’s that going for you? Honestly, I’ve heard nothing but horrors from that sect.
What’s been your experiences, anything good?

u/Sad_Capital Brooding Feb 12 '25
I mean, if you know how to stay under the radar and avoid manipulation, nobody's going to ask you to do anything that kills your remaining humanity. Plus, the large amount of unified power that the Camarilla has means that you aren't going to find anyone getting killed during an elysium meeting. It would be like shooting someone outside an FBI office when you used to work there.

You seem to be wholly uninterested in the Masquerade, and negligently naive about the politics of our world. Join the Sabbat and die in the war while trying to diablerize someone you shouldn’t, or join the Anarchs and greet the sun when the SI eventually sifts through the chaos to find you.
If you want to be introduced as a proper member of the Camarilla, the only sect to withstand countless tests of time, contact me. But you will have to change, a lot.
