HOLLYWOOD



   By Peter Wake (7 Apr 93)

   Take with a large pinch of salt. This is supposed to be humor OK.

   Clan Hollywood is a small clan that is confined to a few tiny
   geographical locations. Their largest enclave is an island of insanity
   in the Anarch freestates. They originally came from a desolate pat of
   southern England but have since relocated lock-stock and clan
   holdings.

   The clan is not part of the Camarilla and does not follow the
   masquerade. They are cautious however and do not reveal themselves to
   mortals unless there is a fast buck to be made. They consider the
   Camarilla to be restrictive and filled with cowards and whiners. The
   clan is hostile to the Sabbat and neutral to the anarchs, whom they
   consider trendy teen-brats.

   The clan are a diverse group and rarely ever meet. Despite this they
   have a strange sort of unconscious desire to gather together. They
   decline to comment on what might be the reason for this. Occasionally
   they will help each other and are somewhat similar to the Gangrel
   loners in this respect.

   Humanity: The clan member often have no humanity and can follow
   'Sabbat' paths and also create their own paths.

   Clan Disciplines: Protean, Potence, Dominate

   Clan Weakness: Whenever a member of clan Hollywood feeds it always
   mixes its blood with that of its victims. The clan members cannot
   control their blood properly in this respect and it leaks out into
   those they feed on. Even those mortals who do not die immediately are
   affected (such as those who die from anaemia a few hours later). For
   rules purposes any mortal fed upon by a Hollywood has of their blood
   points replaced with one vampiric blood point. The Hollywooders cannot
   drain this last blood point either. If the victim lives they are a
   ghoul. If they die while the blood is still in their system then they
   will become a vampire. If a mortal has no 'human' blood points left
   (i.e. only the vampire blood point) then she is dead for the purposes
   of this rule.

   The clan members are usually careful to feed at least three times on
   any victim to ensure that they are blood bound.

   Usually they will try not to drain humans to death. Those they do
   drain that they do not want to become vampires they dismember. Often
   their victims enter a temporary torpor and are mistakenly buried
   alive. As a reslut many of the clan members have no humanity.

   Sometimes members of this clan have weaknesses found inother clans
   too. This seems to happen when they learn new disciplines that are
   normally associated with that clan. For instance a Hollwooder with
   Obtenebration might well be invisible in mirrors.

   discipline.
