Lasombra - Kiasyd
Shortly before the 12th century, a Lasombra named Marconius experimented with the Obtenebration discipline and the blood of the fae. He experienced a catastrophic result, permanently altering his physical and spiritual nature; he became a Kiasyd. Kiasyd are isolationist, preferring a solitary life even to the company of their own kind. Some clans believe Kiasyd are not vampires, but have become something otherworldly (and potentially a breach of the Masquerade). Mysterious, foreign, and strange, Kiasyd are treated with suspicion and animosity whenever they surface within vampire society. Bloodline Merit Cost: 4

In-Clan Disciplines
Weakness
Lasombra vampires cast no reflections. Whether in a mirror, in a body of water, on a polished surface, or in the rear-view of a taxicab, the Lasombra’s image does not reflect. Her reflection cannot be captured by devices that use mirrors (like old-style cameras), but can be recorded by modern digital devices.
Additional Weakness: Like the bloodline’s founder Marconius, a Kiaysd’s Embrace physically alters her to the point that she is barely recognizable even as human. Kiasyd grow exceptionally tall, their skin pales to a chalky white, and their eyes blacken to ebony orbs. Kiasyd also suffer from the standard Lasombra weakness
