Other noteworthy bloodlines:
Dionysos
Please be aware: This bloodline is not generally available to players.
Creator: Dyonisos
Age of Line: More than 2000yrs old
Size of Bloodline: Medium
Main Power: Cause madness and chaos
Other known powers: Dionysian vampires that can make others ‘forget’ their inhibitions. In these ‘maddened’ fits, the victim will not be in control of their choices or able to think reasonably and just do as they want or in many cases as the Dionysian wants. Dionysians prefer that frenzied state of chaos and celebrate the unexpected. While the Belle’s are welcomed in Kisses, the Dionysian are often shunned as they have no limits to the satisfaction of their need for ‘enlightenment’. It is said some of the best Kisses fell after doing deals with a child of Dionysis for in many ways it is akin to doing deals with the devil.
Notes: Dionysians appear very friendly and sociable on the outside, but they are all named after a god. This gives all Dionysians a type of godlike complex. Dionysians are known for two things: Hedonism and Madness. It was said that in the ancient world, festivals to Dionysis were several days of abandoned morality and wild revelry. It was a cathartic experience, one that aided those that partook in it, a chance to have existential encounters of the mind.
