Editing Lasombra (section)

===Lasombra Archetypes===

'''Activist'''

The Lasombra have claimed to exult the virtue of rebellion and opposition to tyranny for the last half-millennium. Though the clan now attempts to hold membership in the Camarilla, many younger Lasombra still refuse to kneel before unknowable ancients. In life, this character was likely a political or religious activist, recognized for the Embrace by a Lasombra who shared, or at least appreciated, their vision. Such a character could be a libertarian, anarcho-capitalist, or even a member of a terrorist cell.

'''Legate'''

Clan Lasombra values the art of the deal and those who make it. Whether in attempts to court power and influence, broker peace or instigate a war, a Lasombra found this character capable of the required task and Embraced them. In life, they were likely a diplomat or successful trader, or perhaps a marriage counselor or Mafia consigliere. They are well-equipped to handle negotiations on behalf of the clan, likely using the title â€œLegate.â€

'''Masquerade Templar'''

The Lasombra target fighters for the Embrace. Any mortal who has overcome extreme adversity draws the eyes of Clan Lasombra, often because the Lasombra place that adversity in the way of prospective childer. This mortal survived and triumphed over great and punishing odds. As a vampire, they fought on and proved worthy of their sireâ€™s respect, going on to fight against greater oppressors in the form of the Second Inquisition and the Sabbat.

'''Religionâ€™s Parasite'''

This Lasombra hid among the religious in life, continuing to do so in death. Whether a leader or simple congregant, this character holds allies within the faithful and at least some sway over like-minded individuals. Not a true believer, this Lasombra coldly manipulates others who hold faith, using the religious institution to serve their own elevation.

'''Winner at Life'''

The beaming athlete holding their medal aloft, the mother proud of her rosette-winning daughter, the investment banker tossing cash at strippers, the actor with cocaine lining his lungs â€” all exemplify the winner. Clan Lasombra loves winning more than they love the battle, and they will do anything to win. Weak humans who succumb to stressful failure hold no allure to the Keepers. This character is possibly bragadocious, and almost definitely envy-inducing, but few can deny their perpetual success.
