The world revels in cruel jokes; this happens to be one of them.
Not much is known about this bloodline, which is fitting, considering its nature; Daeva so afflicted are eminently forgettable, with records of their existence trailing into nothing. While other Kindred feed on the life carried by blood, these nameless Daeva have developed the ability to feed on the life left in memories.
Bloodline Name: The [Illegible]
Alternate Names: Who?
Parent Clan: Daeva
Bloodline Disciplines: Celerity, Majesty, Obfuscate, Vigor
Bloodline Bane:
Feeble Presence
The effects of an [Illegible]'s Lost Visage affect any and all forms of recording media; paintings are ruined by water damage and sculpture is defaced or erodes unusually quickly. Even writing is not safe; books are accidentally burned, paperwork is misfiled and lost, and scanned copies are corrupted. The effects of this Bane take time; they take place over a period of time equal to the length of Torpor for Kindred whose Humanity is equal to [10 - their Humanity]. In other words, an [Illegible] with Humanity 5 would be unable to keep records of their existence for longer than a month; if this effective Humanity falls below 0, records of their existence don't degrade. If it ever increases above 10, records of their existence degrade after a scene.
An [Illegible]'s penalty to social rolls due to Humanity applies to all rolls to remember them, as well as any and all rolls to remember something; this ignores the benefit of the Eidetic Memory merit. Due to the erosive nature of their presence, they cannot purchase the 3-dot version of the Alternate Identity merit, the Eidetic Memory merit, or the Fame merit, and apply the penalty to Social rolls due to Humanity to the maximum number of dots they may have in a given type of Kindred Status; if the pool would be reduced to a Chance Die, they cannot have dots in Kindred Status at all.
Bloodline Gift:
Devour the Past
An [Illegible] may choose to drain memories while feeding as well as Vitae; if they do so, their bite inflicts the False Memories condition instead of the Scarred or Swooning condition. Their bite can only remove memories; an [Illegible] consuming a woman's memories of her girlfriend leaves a messy, bloody gap in that woman's memories, which will eventually heal over.
Bloodline Devotions:
Denial of Events (Obfuscate ••)
Cost: 1 Vitae
Dice Pool: None
Action: None
A savvy predator knows how to hide their kills; the Beast goes one step above. An [Illegible] may spend an additional Vitae whenever they use Face in the Crowd or Touch of Shadow; doing so extends the effects of their Lost Visage to those affected.
Denial of Events costs 2xp.
Etch in Memory (Majesty ••)
Cost: None
Dice Pool: None
Action: None
A proper application of Majesty burns the Vampire's face into their groupies' retinas and etches their words on the surface of their mind. Characters who have the Charmed or Enthralled conditions due to the use of Majesty have the Eidetic Memory condition for the duration of that condition, but only with respect to the Vampire that inflicted those conditions on them. In addition, as long as they are under the effects of those conditions, they are immune to the effects of that Vampire's Feeble Presence.
Etch in Memory costs 2xp.
Nothing Happened (Obfuscate ••, Majesty ••)
Cost: 2 Vitae, 1 wp
Dice Pool: None
Action: None
An [Illegible]'s presence is corrosive to memory; by co-opting the intensity of Majesty, they can weaponize their Bane. By spending two additional Vitae and 1wp when activating Face in the Crowd, the [Illegible] subtract their dots in Obfuscate from their Humanity for the purposes of the Bloodline Bane for the duration of the effect; this only applies to events that occur during the scene in which Face in the Crowd is active.
Nothing Happened costs 3xp.
So yeah, say hi to the Daeva's whose unlives are a sick joke (more than usual, I mean); I hope you didn't want any long term friendships!
I feel they need more Bloodline Devotions; however, I can't think of any for Vigor or Celerity.
And yes, Denial of Events and Nothing Happened are excellent if you want to commit murder.
