Mu’tazz Bechara
“Ever felt your atlantoaxial joint pop out and the pains go up to your cervical joint? How about now?”
“I cannot trust myself to fight one of the kine. No matter how big and fast they come, it is no honor to snap a twig.”
“To be the best, you’ve got to beat the best.”
Background: As the fourth son in a litter of seven children, Mu’tazz has always pushed himself to stand above the rest.
His father was an acclaimed wrestler for an international promotion, and each of his brothers and sisters was in some way
involved in the business. Rather than taking the route of donning a costume and stage name to leave Beirut and wrestle for
family entertainment, Mu’tazz embarked upon a different trajectory. He embraced shootfighting, legitimately pummeling
and stretching his opponents until they were knocked out or screaming for mercy. He always went by his real name, proud to
declare himself the authentic hard man of the Bechara family.
Throughout his 20s and 30s, Mu’tazz scored victories
the world over. He even set up his own promotion — The
Shoot Dojo — in which he schooled aspirants and
began a paid online broadcast for viewers of the sport.
A pack of Sabbat became avid fans of the show. They
traveled to watch Mu’tazz fight live, and one of them — a
Country Gangrel — answered his open call to fight live in
an unprepared matchup.
In the contest of man versus vampire, man did sur-
prisingly well. Despite possessing resistance to any
severe harm Mu’tazz inflicted, the pain was impos-
sible to avoid. The fighter held the Gangrel in locks
and struck his nerves with devastating precision.
In a result the rest of the pack considered un-
sporting, the Gangrel grew frustrated and broke
the mortal’s neck without warning.
The online broadcast was termi-
nated, the pack expelled
everyone in the live audi-
ence, and Mu’tazz was

Mu’tazz is not happy in his current state. He accepts he’s
more than human, and partakes in the Sabbat ritae, but as

worthy competition. Humans rarely cut it, so he’s inclined to

“For every second you stare, I mentally remove a square foot of your territory.”
“The Camarilla hasn’t lasted this long because it was a bad idea.”
“It’s the best deal possible for all aggrieved parties. Just ask the Prince; she always agrees with me.”
Background: Shafiqah clings to the ideal anyone can become some-

Shafiqah is no stranger to either.
Shafiqah’s parents resented having to spend their money on
supporting a baby with a spinal defect, knowing she would take
three times more attention than a healthy child. Neglected by her
mother and father, Shafiqah’s back never received treatment.
From the moment she stood, she needed crutches to move.
Even while growing up, Shafiqah pushed herself to move as
fast as someone who walks unaided, impressing everyone
at school with her speed.
Shafiqah went from school to becoming a motivational
speaker and counselor for those raised in similarly-ad-

drawing thunderous applause as she explained
her triumphs over adversity.
After one evening working at a youth center,
Shafiqah was approached by a man, apparently
hunched over by disability or age. He slurred
how her speech moved him, and asked whether
he could aspire to better things. She reached
out to the man, only to be greeted by the
leering face of a Nosferatu, who drank from
her wrist as he cried that there was no hope
for their kind.
When she awoke, she was a vampire.
Her change into the hideous form of a

Angel Dietrich
“Can you see the ‘fuck off’ in my smile?”
“I hate most people, but I have a special corner of loathing for you.”
“The box. You opened it. We…. I’m sorry. You really don’t get the
reference?”
Background: Raised in a commune, Angel considers her child-
hood an excruciatingly dull time spent living off the land and
interacting with nature. The only things to distract her were her
music and the supply of books on spiritual matters. She drifted
away from the real world when her head was buried in a text
or she was playing her clarinet in the woods.
Social services deemed the commune’s environment unfit
for a teenager’s growth and took her away, thrusting her
into the high school system. She met diverse youths, used
her first computer, excelled in academia, and was jaded by
it all. Angel embraced counter culture — rebelling against
the school system. She dyed her hair, got a tattoo, and got
piercings all over her body. Her gang frequently broke in
to the principal’s office to watch horror movies on his tele-
vision, and left it paused on scenes of violence or nudity as
they escaped. She regularly got reprimanded by the faculty, but
few lectures took hold.
On the evening of her 14th birthday, Angel and her comrades
stole a teacher’s car. Due to her vodka-induced intoxication, Angel’s
ran down the school janitor, or would have; her eyes widened in the
moment to see everything slowing down, or the janitor speeding up.
Angel knows that’s when she first practiced magic.
A Tremere long made the school basement his haven, and wards,
put in place to detect use of magic, were soon ringing. He observed
the pupils being admonished, and saw an aura of real magical power
surrounding Angel. After getting approval from the Chantry and
Prince, the Warlock Embraced her.
Angel is easily a savant of thaumaturgical principles, but the more
she’s told to conform, the more she resents the Pyramid’s stern au-
thority. Being kept by her sire has given Angel a solid father figure
for the first time, but she neither wants nor needs a patriarch to
function. Yes, he teaches her new rites, but his overbearing nature
makes Angel want to set fire to his library.
Angel spends much of her time indulging in movies and games,
now that she’s got forever to learn. She’ll either steal them from
the school, or convince her sire that if she can watch some more
horror movies, she’ll sit down with him and practice her blood
magic. She hates being forced into doing anything, and uses
much of her time researching defiant groups within the Clan
structure. Eventually, she hopes to join one of these secret orders
just to subvert the hierarchy.
