Editing Caitiff (section)

===Caitiff Archetypes===

'''Raised on the Streets'''

This Caitiff is was brought up in the worst part of their city by parents who either did not care or were not able to protect them â€“ if they had parents at all. It is likely they never had hope for a meaningful, prosperous life. For them, the Embrace was an escape, and their sire performed it out of respect for their perseverance against the odds.

'''Abuse Survivor'''

Caitiff habitually target abuse victims for the Embrace. The survivor caught the attention of their sire by attending a support group, appearing in the papers as the prosecuting victim in an aggravated assault case, or perhaps by writing a particularly striking blog post on the subject of their experiences. As the street kid, the survivor was â€œrewardedâ€ with immortality and a chance to fight back against their abusers. Having been through terrible experiences already, they are judged to make a fine member of the clanless.

'''Helplessly Overestimated'''

This Caitiff was Embraced by the clanless for all the wrong reasons. Perhaps they threw off a cruel bossâ€™ yoke once, or dumped an abusive partner, but this behavior was an exception in their life. They were chosen for their perceived strength, and now they are hopelessly lost and overwhelmed by their existence as one of the Kindred.

'''Secret Caitiff'''

This Kindred awoke as a Caitiff, but they managed to hide it from their sire. They are now a full member of their ancestral clan, attending the rituals and obeying the traditions of their kin in return for the protection of their elders. They have no desire to go through eternity alone, and they will do whatever it takes to keep their secret hidden.

'''Unwanted Childe'''

The unwanted childe was Embraced into one of the clans, but cannot remember their sire and never bonded to the Blood. As the curse of their ancestors never manifested in their body, they avoided the bane of their clan. Without this marker, the Blood of their brothers and sisters rejects them â€“ and they, it.
