"What if, besides the blood of the living, you had to eat pounds of their flesh to maintain that thin facade of life - what would you call it? Twice damned?" --Pisha, in Vampire - The Masquerade: Bloodlines.

The Nagaraja is easily one of my favorite bloodlines. I used one in my chronicle. I went an off beat route with her by keeping the inherent scary bits intact but off-set the whole thing by giving her a generally upbeat and playful personality. She wound up being one of the player favorites.

Herd rumors of a Nagaraja living in an abandoned hospital in downtown L.A. around the early 2000's

@randombencounter263 10 жыл бұрын

Personally I'd take any stories about obscure vampire sightings from the time period between 1999 and 2004 with a grain of salt. Between the Week of Nightmares and all other great big bloody apocalyptic goings-on, I think everyone's imaginations ran just a little too wild. I mean even Beckett (who I very much respect and trust) claims that he met and spoke with Caine Himself around that time. Just mad, mad stuff.

@@rachskald No, she never explicitly mentions the name of her clan. Only that she consumes flesh. I don't think she even refers to herself directly as a vampire / kindred. Bloodlines was the game that originally introduced me to World of Darkness in the first place, so I went in blind to everything regarding the lore. I thought she was some other creature entirely.

It really says a lot that Monique's feeding habits are the most horrifying thing a (SPOILER ALERT) Harbinger of Skulls has ever seen, when you consider the ordeals he's witnessed and endured.

@TheGentlemanGamer 10 жыл бұрын

I don't think I'm being unfair. The Nagaraja embrace those who are usually mortal members of their death cult or nihlistic in the extreme anyway. But, in point of the characters I described in the video, this is just the opinion of the character I'm portraying when doing the video. It's not unfair - it's just what he knows, or chooses to convey.

Ah! Cool, never knew about the Mage connection with the Euthanatos. I got Mage recently and I've been reading and enjoying it. My only Nagaraja experience has been in Vampire: Bloodlines but I liked them. Both them, and the Macellarius from Requiem. I think they'd be difficult to play, but they should show up in many a chronicle!
