Nagaraja (Flesheaters)
Enemies of the Night
The Nagaraja are a unique group of vampires who consider themselves the original necromancers. They take pride in their mysterious ancestry, which lacks ties to any known Antediluvians. The Flesheaters believe they once ruled the land of the dead, having ritually altered their Blood to exist there. As part of that Ceremony, they may even have eaten flesh instead of drinking blood. Many Nagaraja choose to still consume human flesh in addition to drinking blood to this day. As feared beings even among Kindred, the Nagaraja are few and promote the disturbing act of capturing mortals, removing their flesh and blood while keeping them alive with medical care and vitae. They lack a strong societal bond but share a connection to ghosts, often mastering the Discipline of Oblivion first. They believe that inflicting pain on the body and spirit helps others understand life, death, and undeath. Some Nagaraja attended the Family Reunion, claiming a disaster forced them out of their home in the Shadowlands.
●Viscus
You may Slake Hunger by eating human flesh and organs instead of drinking blood. Only major organs, such as the majority of the epidermis, heart, liver, lungs, and spleen, are rich enough in blood, and each of these organs Slake 1 Hunger. You may also feed from a corpse in the same way, provided the corpse has been dead for no longer than eight hours.
●●Murder Most Foul
Modern Nagaraja are experts at studying murder scenes and tracking down the perpetrators of the crimes they investigate. By spending three standard actions studying a murder scene, you may auto succeed at any Investigation, Science, Medicine or Awareness challenges related to the scene. This applies only to evidence still present, though challenges to notice missing evidence still gain this benefit. In addition, you gain a free two-dot Mask that allows you to portray yourself as a police officer, forensic scientist, or similar profession.
●●●Monstrous Bite
When ready to attack or feed, your teeth extend to lengthy, splayed, and vicious dagger-like fangs that protrude from your mouth. You may bite a target without first establishing a grapple. In addition, your successful bite attacks inflict the Weakened Condition. Your victims automatically resolve the Weakened Condition after they have taken actions for two turns.
