Clan Information : Brujah Clan Brujah is largely composed of rebels, both with and
without a cause. Individualistic, outspoken and turbulent, Brujah hold social
change near to their undead hearts, and the clan's ranks contain some of the
most violent of the Camarilla Kindred. Most other vampires perceive the Brujah
as nothing more than punks and miscreants, but genuine passion lies behind their
polemics.
Brujah Kindred adopt pet passions and causes, which they support with volume
and vitriol. Some Brujah follow charismatic members of their clan, while others
prefer stances of blatant, defiant individualism. The clan claims a history rich
with warrior-poets, and it has adapted this concept into the modern night: many
Brujah are glad to have an opportunity to speak their minds, then indulge in a
bit of destruction afterwards to illustrate their points.
The Rabble's espousal of change unites them, albeit tenuously, in their
nightly crusades. Given a common enemy, Brujah with vastly different ideals will
join side- by-side to oppose their foe. After that foe is defeated, however, all
bets are off, and it's back to business as usual. A common Brujah theme involves
the foundation of a Kindred "Utopia," or the re-creation of a mythical
one from nights past, though each Brujah vampire has a different idea of what
said Utopia is.
Brujah rely on chaotic behavior and upheaval to get their ideas across, and
the Rabble are allowed a certain leeway that other clans do not have. In fact,
Brujah are almost expected to be incoherent and bellicose; this stereotype works
to the advantage of many eloquent, well-spoken members of the clan, who have no
need to resort to violence when making their arguments.
The Brujah are the physical strength of the Camarilla. Of late, however, many
Rabble neonates see their role in the Camarilla as an institution into itself,
and more than a little unrest circulates among the clan. Other Kindred believe
that the Brujah would be the first to leave the Camarilla. The Brujah believe
it, too…
Nickname: Rabble
Sect: Rhetoric aside, most Brujah are in the
Camarilla. Brujah Kindred also support the anarchs, arguably more so than the
Camarilla. Indeed, the anarchs have more Brujah than members of all other clans
combined.
Appearance: Brujah vary widely in appearance,
though many adopt radical styles and bold looks. If dismissive stereotypes are
to be believed, the typical Brujah wears a biker jacket, tattered jeans, combat
boots and a fearsome array of high-maintenance hair. In truth, few Brujah fit
this image. Youthful, fashion-forward dress and noteworthy hairstyles are indeed
found among many Brujah, but others favor tasteful wardrobes that encourage
others to take them seriously. In the end, a Brujah's appearance often suggests
his attitude: A skinhead bravo is likely an open rebel or anarchist, while a
bespectacled pedant in a tweed suit is probably a reformationist or liberal. It
should be noted, however, that given the Brujah penchant for nonconformity, any
assumption of ideals based on appearance could be potentially dangerous. Brujah
look how they want.
Haven: Wherever they damn well please. Are you
going to tell them to leave?
More so than any other any clan, the Brujah keep the company of other
vampires, and one haven might house an entire brood. Brujah Kindred also keep
multiple safehouses and boltholes, as their conflict-driven existence often
makes single locations inhospitable. Some Brujah neonates even carry on the
urban practice of the home invasion, Dominating or killing a home's occupants
and taking over. Like other pursuits, however, home invasions rarely sustain the
Rabble's interest, and the vampires often move on once they grow bored with the
locale.
