Clan Description
the darck mirror.
first and foremost to enforce an edict
-- A Masquerade--
by which to hide.
They erased all evidence of Themselves from sight of the living and slowly
-- over many, many years--
They became as myths to the minds of man.
And thus concealed they have continued to grow in power
And to guide Humanity to suit their whims
we are you...she said
we are you, with all your fuck-ups
and all the things that make you human
all your fears
and loneliness
and confusion...
none of that gets better.
Its like getting famous,
or getting rich.
Youare the same person
you were
when you were unknown
or poor.
Only worse.
All the bad things are magnified,
and you do not remember
where the good things are
anymore.
Its all that.
But
its more.
We
e colder than you are.
Deader.
I miss daylight
and food
and knowing
how it feels to touch someone
and care.
I remember life,
and meeting people
as people
and not just as things
to feed on
or control,
and I remember what it was
to feel something,
anything,
happy
or sad
or anything...
Then she stopped,
and lowered her head.
Are you crying?... I asked.
We do not cry,
she told me..
The dark mirror clan has fallen from grace - and its members enjoy it. Simultaneously graceful and predatory, the dark mirror guide - and, when necessary, whip - one of the vampires into an implacable force. Turning their backs upon the humans they once were, the dark mirror give themselves wholly over to the dark majesty of the Embrace. Murder, frenzy, predation: Why fear these things, many dark mirror ask, if one is meant to be a vampire? In contrast to the some other clans, though, dark mirror generally seek not to reject all things mortal, but to shape them for their own pleasure.
Thedark mirror have been involved with the Church since its inception, and some Kindred whisper that the clan was instrumental in the spread of the Christian faith. In modern nights, however, the dark mirror have turned their backs on that divine institution. There are exceptions, of course, but for the most part, Clan bears only contempt for the notion of salvation. In fact, the dark mirror brought many of the Churchs rites and rituals into the vampiric sect, twisting them into mockeries of Christian doctrine. The dark mirror ordained many of the sects auctoritas and ignoblis ritae, so that the vampires of the modern night might never forget who and what they are.
the darck mirror are best known for their Discipline of Obtenebration, a means by which they call forth a tangible ..living darkness.., manipulating it at their whim. Clan doctrine holds that this ..darkness.. is in fact the stuff of the vampiric soul, which has been simultaneously strengthened and corrupted by the Embrace. Through the Curse of Caine, someof the darck mirror believe, God has cast them out, and thus it is their duty to build a new order on Earth via the embaced of death kiss More scientific dark mirror ones scoff at this superstition, but even they tend to believe that, as vampires, they represent a new and more advanced breed of sentience, one unconcerned with petty human notions of ethics. Let the milksops of other more humanitary Clans burn in the solar fires of martyrdom; the dark mirror are happy with what they are.
Naturally, this villainous outlook is not universal among the clan, but many newly Embraced to the dark mirror take great glee in the wanton destruction and vulgar depravity that such a philosophy allows. In striking contrast, some elders on the clan still maintain their ties to the Church, though even they seem to consider themselves "tools of the Devil." The two groups do see eye to eye on one matter: Members of Clan , as consummate manipulators themselves, adamantly refuse to submit to the antiquated whims of the Antediluvians. They fight the Jyhad proudly, but unlike many Kindred, they firmly believe they can win.
The typical vanpire of this clan possesses a gift for manipulation, as well as keen leadership skills. the dark mirror ones are the most common leaders of vanpiric packs, as their motivational and Machiavellian natures make them ideal for orchestrating the movements of the sect. Unfortunately, pride goes hand in hand with this dark nobility, and very few of the caln acknowledge other vampires as equal, let alone superior.
For uncountable centuries,
the clans ruled the nights.
The greatest human kingdoms
were but playthings to these so-called Kindred.
Their power was matched only
by their arrogance --
until
the coming of the
fires of the Inquisition.
Vulnerable for the first time,
the dark mirror clan made the way of the masquerade
