I am in the middle of making up some Ancient character (NPC). It is literally a primordial man (or woman), possibly Neanderthal or Cro-Magnon.
I am currently just flipping thoughts in my head around so I´d like to post them all here, comments and additional ideas are welcome.
Some Vampire scholar finds ancient markings in a cave, which turn out to be of Vampire significance (Cruac rituals, guiding to a Wyrm´s nest).
Digging deeper, he finds a torpid Ancient. The Ordo decides to wake it up.
Clan: Obvious thought: Gangrel! But wouldn´ t it be nice to see the look in the faces of Ventrue or Daeva snobs if they are introduced to their Caveman cousin in Elysium?
Disciplines: Animalism, of course, basic Protean. Maybe all of the 3 physical Disciplines.
Could Majesty or Dominate work (taken that the guy is able to learn modern speech?)
Some crude form of Cruac maybe. Or a Blood Magic blend that flies in the face of Sanctified and Cronies
I am looking for a force of nature here. At the one hand an undemanding, unpolitical being.
At the other hand, an unstoppable monster if you manage to piss him off.
Good look teaching him Masquerade and Elysium etiquette.
Covenant: The Cave-Vampire might think in terms of tribe, not in political ideas. So first Bloodline, then Clan.
Could be interesting if his/her parent clan is spread along enemy factions. Also his very existence is a political dilemma,
because it contradicts some of the creation myths ( the evangelical Sanctified Arch-Bishop claims it is Caine, or Lilith or some of the sinners
that survived Noah´s flood. The Cronies think they have found THE Crone...)
