The lunatic Brujah who is responsible for the plague is a victim himself – the first to fall for the madness of the mysterious disease. When humans are infected they become mindless shells of their former self. When vampires are infected, their clan weakness is strengthen and makes them twice damned.

The Nosferatu become even more repulsive with their skin rotting even quicker to an irreversible condition. The Toreador become obsessed with human desires, frequently have they been seen attempting to consume human food and conducting extreme sexual behaviors. The Brujah will go under the illusion of wisdom, the will consider themselves nothing less than gods of knowledge and wisdom. However the question still remains as to how this disease transmitted in the first place.

Kuei-jin group their Disciplines into several categories. The most widely known are Chi Arts, Soul Arts, Demon Arts, and Shintai Arts. Shintai Arts allow vampires to study and practice the movement of Chi through their bodies — the five Shintai (“god body”) forms are transformative arts based on the Kuei-jin elemental system of Blood (Water), Bone (Metal), Jade (Earth), Flesh (Wood), and Ghost-flame (Fire). Chi Arts allow Kuei-jin to evoke internal and ambient Chi for various purposes. Soul arts allow Kuei-jin to channel and master their Hun and P’o souls. Finally, Demon Arts are special powers unique to the Kuei-jin’s dark side of the soul.

Over the decades, the Scorpion Eaters have studied the Shintai powers fueled by their unique diet. Called the Bile Shintais, they encompass five unique Arts, each one roughly analogous to one of the five elemental Shintais practiced by other Kuei-jin. Scorpion Eaters can’t learn these normal Shintais, aside from Demon Shintai and Bile Shintai. Conversely, other Kuei-jin can’t learn Bile Shintai unless they abandon their Dharma, undergo the Eating the Scorpion Rite, and become Scorpions.

In such cases, points in existing Shintai Arts don’t transfer to the equivalent Bile Shintais; they are lost and the student must begin learning anew. Tainted Chi interacts with the body in a fundamentally different way from pure Chi, and the techniques for one aren’t applicable to the other. Storytellers, however, may rule otherwise.

The five regular Shintais (Blood, Bone, Flesh, Ghost-Flame, and Jade) are unavailable to Scorpion Eaters: The ingestion of tainted Chi makes their use impossible. The Scorpion Eaters, however, possess twisted versions of these Arts. Burning, Decay, Disease, Poison and Radiation. Whether this is a corruption of the god bodies or a secret gift from the Yama Kings to further their own agendas remains unknown. Knowing the Yama Kings, however, the latter is likelier.

In the following video you can see the Ninjas (that are partly composed Scorpion Eaters) use their Shintai. There is also some use of the Chi Arts that are used by KueiJin Ninjas:

Known to his peers as “SubZero”, he is considered to be among the most skilled Scorpion Eaters. He possess several special abilities, on in particular that grants him the name “SubZero”.

The first noticeable element is his weapons, he wields two special weapons. One is the Ninjato, a common deadly ninja sword. The second one is the Kusarigama – the fabled Japanese weapon capable of causing great damage.

All those feats makes this particular ninja a deadly enemy. However the nightmare does not end here. SubZero has a special Chi ability called “Cold Storm” that when hits the enemy it slows him down. He also has other special abilities capable of freezing the player. But that is a power that can only be seen, since describing it would do it no justice. here you can see subzero as he braces for attack.

Yukie is one of the companions available in bloodlines Antitribu, After the death of his teacher he swore to take revenge on the Hengeyokai . After helping her you’ll have the chance to recruit her but this Yukie is more aggressive and has some new tricks up her sleeve.

[Reflections of the Twice-Dead, p. 7095]

Harbinger, Lazerene, monster, abomination, anachronism. So many names but they do not fit. For all I am is what I was, a childe of Ashur’s get. These names are meaningless however, for they are irrelevant to the claim that drives my actions. Vengeance is the conclusion. Betrayal is the premise. The Giovanni are the subject and context which gives this claim validity.

Ungrateful childer. Unworthy of the Sacrement they were bestowed by our common Father. The Body and Blood. It shall be reclaimed. Just as the Word made Flesh arose from death, so have I. But I am not reason incarnate, I am vengeance incarnate. How foolishly you have spent your thirty pieces of silver, my unworthy cousins. Blood begets Blood. An eye for an eye. Forget not the Law, lest the All-Father smites you for insolence.

The land of Cappadocia. The land of my Father. The land of family. Laid to waste by an adopted bastard who dares to claim his own Father’s throne. No longer does the land welcome me. The whispers of my brothers and sisters incessantly tormenting me when I dare to tread. Their wishes have been voiced. Their prayers will be answered. I am my Father’s instrument, His wrath given flesh.

Augustus, your name reflects your misplaced pride. You are unworthy of its meaning and expression. If you had been a loyal son, your name would ring true. Augustus, you forget the Law, much to your own detriment. ‘I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful punishments. Then they shall know that I am the LORD, when I lay my vengeance on them.’ [EZK 25:17]

The promised time has come. The Fragments were all true. You were warned of the consequences, well before your actions took place. You ignored the warning. And now the words shall be fulfilled further.

Once I was a huntress, chasing after knowledge. Now I chase after vengeance and so have I become vengeance. No longer am I Artemis, for now I am Nemesis.

[A Tremere's Perspective]

Addressed to M. Strauss

My esteemed Regent,
I believe I have uncovered the party responsible for the string of Chantry apprentice murders that have transpired of late. It appears to be an anachronistic Fiend from the Old World. Furthermore, the Sewer Rats inform me that this particular Fiend is something of a mad crusader. How he has kept himself hidden is simply beyond my comprehension, save for one speculative thread. It is possible that he has bought off the Sewer Rats’ silence on certain finer details.

However I would humbly suggest the use political leverage in dealing with this issue. By forcing this problem onto the Romanian Fiend, the Clan can deal with ‘two birds with one stone’ as it were.

Your faithful apprentice,
A. Austerlitz

Quote: “I just wanna dance the dance of war until I sink into the very bowels of Hell. Reason enough for you?”

Splat:
Lust for battle is the prevailing emotion for the enigmatic Cainite known as ‘Wisecrack’ Wez. While many would simply label Wez a common brutish thug, he would call himself a ‘connoisseur of warfare’. Wez had no patience for his Sire’s prattling on about history or pursuit of Entelechy, it was only battle that called to his heart, that gave his existence meaning. Life in the Sabbat is ideal for Wez, survival of the fittest reigns among Cainites and its Holy Crusade against the pawns of the Ancients ensures that he will always have adversaries to fight.

Certainly Wez has little thought not pertaining to battle and often provokes Kine attention in order to lure Camarilla and Anarchs into battle. Surprisingly Wez has a something of brutal cunning beneath his sneering veneer, as his trite but effective wit serves to fool adversaries into underestimating him. War is his sole profession, and as such he is not against using tactics most vampires would not bother with. Often Wez’s Dogs will set up traps at the prospective battlefields, make use of excessive force, manipulate Kine criminals and even bait enemies into drawing the attention of Kine authorities to their detriment. War is Wez’s sole profession and nothing is forbidden to him in how to wage war, all that matters is crushing enemies under heel and losing himself in the thrill of battle.

Wez’s right hand, she known for being very talkative, used to be a cheerleader back in his mortal days, but a fierce and dark one that would do almost anything to get what she wants. She can be both a loyal companion or a fierce enemy . . . it all depends on who you want her to be . . .

Here are the videos that will show case the new temple look with its new NPCs. In this video you already became Sabbat and you are with your Sabbat companions.
