Anarch Futurist
Background
As a mortal, you bounced restlessly from one cause to another — renewable energy, indigenous rights, save the whales. Your interests were far too broad to find satisfaction in a single pursuit. Now that you’ve been Embraced, however, you’ve found your vocation at last, a perfect synthesis of all your fascinations: the project of envisioning the Modern Kindred.
You’ve written a manifesto, two books, and several sci-fi stories on the subject, all of which instantly went viral on Anarch social media. Nothing is too outré or taboo for your imagination now. Vampires walking unharmed in sunlight! Vampires in space! Humanity’s transformation into an engineered, enlightened race of dhampirs, working alongside Kindred against invading alien forces!
Antique Disciplines superseded by a unitary, demystified blood-science, which eventually cures all clan flaws! A supernatural U.N.! Anarchs around the globe read your musings, and even their unbeating hearts flutter with hope and wonder. You’ve been invited to speak at many forward-thinking Anarch communes — as well as a couple of mortal paranormal societies.
Your Herd consists of colleagues from mortal days whom you still help and support in exchange for feedings, and a slowly growing circle of blood and vampire fetishists. (Masquerade? Don’t be so 20th century.
) You’ve found, though, that you need to set some hard limits on your experiments with the latter, as too much edgeplay has nearly triggered your Brujah rage in the past; the thought of accidentally setting that loose terrifies you.
Character Description
A slightly stooped young man of Moroccan ancestry and British upbringing, with tousled hair and a perpetually vague look — at least until he begins speaking on his obsession. Then the full force of his Charisma comes to bear.
Roleplaying Hints
You gradually dominate any conversation that catches your interest. In others, however, you can be monosyllabic and seemingly apathetic. Interrupt to ask deeply personal questions of the most unlikely people in the room. You’re quick to do favors for anyone you think might become one of your evangelists, especially those who are already trendspotters or tastemakers, and excel at subtly playing on others’ instincts of social obligation. You do have a distressing tendency not to check whether the uninitiated are listening — after all, information wants to be free and privacy is an evolving concept.
