Custom Discipline

With this discipline, a vampire supernaturally manipulates the electromagnetic fields of the earth to detect creatures and devices by the fields the generate, or how they disrupt the passive EM fields in the environment. With greater mastery, the vampire even learns to utilize the power of her blood to control EM fields and even focus significant energy in a scarlet flash of superheated plasma. Most retests for this discipline may use the Sciene: Physics ability.

O Electrolocation - Senses the electric fields generated by living organisms and electronic devices at a distance of 5 steps per dot of Electrovitae known. This conveys exact location as well as general rough knowledge (ST discretion) of the type of creature or device detected (i.e. can distinguish a cell phone from a taser, a rat from dog or person, and recognize known individuals). This power does not detect the undead or nonliving creatures. Should a viable target be hidden via supernatural means, add dots of Electrovitae as traits total for resolution of challenges (similar to Auspex vs. Obfuscate.)

OO Capacitor Vitae - By manipulating the flow of the earth's naturally occurring electromagnetic field, the vampire can act as a power source. Spend 1 Blood to activate Capacitor Vitae and supply sufficient power to maintain electronic devices at a range equal to the distance detected by Electrolocation (touch is not required.) This power does not provide control of the electronic devices, but merely supplies power to them. The vampire may selectively decide which devices are powered. The total amount of power provided should be no greater in effect than what could be powered by a car battery (ST discretion). This power lasts for one scene or hour, and the effect can be changed for any combination of devices at will (though only once per round). Living creatures can not be affected by this power.

OOO Sever Power - The vampire can now selectively sever or restrict the flow of power to electronic devices, rendering them inactive when within a range equal to the detection range of Electrolocation. Power lines remain live outside the range, and batteries remain charged, but the power is does not reach the devices so targeted by the vampire. The control at this level is fine grained and specific. The vampire may choose to leave a device on but with no additional functionality within ST discretion (i.e. alarm system remains in an armed state, but can not become active and send a signal.)  Spend 1 Blood to activate Sever Power, which lasts for one scene or hour.  The effect can be changed for any combination of devices at will (though only once per round). A vampire may have both Sever Power and Capacitor Vitae active at the same time, selectively apply the effects to individual devices.

OOOO Plasma Ignition - The vampire has learned to channel and focus electromagnetic forces into a superheated plasma to burn targets with a touch.  Spend 1 Blood to activate and lasts for one scene. The vampire must succeed in a physical challenge to touch and apply this effect. The location touched explodes into a momentary, brilliant scarlet plume of superheated plasma, inflicting two levels of aggravated damage total. This power is not additive with any other attacks. This power does not start fires nor explode volatile compounds, the plasma plume is supernatural in nature and lasts the briefest of moments. This attack may be fully used in conjunction with Celerity.

OOOOO Plasma Detonation - Spend 1 Willpower and 1 Blood to activate this power for one scene. The vampire can choose to use this power in one of two ways in any given round of combat, affecting a single target for 3 aggravated damage, or up to 5 targets for 1 aggravated damage each. Range is limited to the range of detection of your Electrolocation discipline. You must win a physical challenge (Dexterity based) against your target. Visually, the vampire flings tiny scarlet ribbons of energy at the target(s), which then erupts into a violent plasma plume upon contact. This power does not start fires nor explode volatile compounds, the plasma plume is supernatural in nature lasts the briefest of moments. This attack may be fully used in conjunction with Celerity.

Basic:

     Second Wind: This power allows the Inceptor to refresh a single trait category once per evening as long as that category of traits has not been refreshed yet that night. This power replaces the Willpower refresh that is available for the chosen trait category.

     Strength of Skill: To activate this power the Inceptor must throw a Willpower challenge versus four traits. If the Inceptor fails the challenge this power may not be used for the remainder of the night. Once active this power allows the Inceptor to add one bonus trait to his all challenges for each level he/she has in the appropriate Ability used to retest the challenge. This power last a scene or one hour.

Intermediate:

     Determination: To activate this power the Inceptor must throw a Willpower challenge versus five traits. If the Inceptor fails the challenge this power may not be used for the remainder of the night. While active this power allows the Inceptor to expend a temporary trait in the corresponding trait category for a challenge to gain one retest for any challenge in that scene. This power must be used before any other discipline retests such as Potence: Might or Presence: Awe.

     Master's Focus: To activate this power the Inceptor must throw a Willpower challenge versus six traits. When the Inceptor activates this power his/her eyes glow a fiery red which may not be hidden with Obfuscate or any other power. While active this power allows the Inceptor to choose one non-Supernatural Merit and gain it for the rest of the scene or hour for each activation of the power. This power may only be activated a number of times in a night equal to the levels of Enhancement the Inceptor has. At the end of the scene in which this power was used the Inceptor gains a one trait penalty for each use of this power for the remainder of the night.

Advanced:

     Unending Reserves: To activate this power the Inceptor must expend a Temporary Willpower trait and engage in a Physical challenge versus ten traits, retest with Survival. Once active the Inceptor's skin begins to glow a fiery red, this effect cannot be covered up with Obfuscate or any other power. While active the Inceptor must make a Physical challenge versus ten traits, retest with Survival, each round or suffer one level of aggravated damage as his/her insides begin to heat up and liquefy, this damage may be reduced as normal by Fortitude. This power allows the Inceptor to choose one trait category at the end of each round and refresh it, this power may not be used at the same time as Second Wind. This power lasts one round per Temporary Willpower the Inceptor has then may be reactivated. 

This inceptor power is directly tied to giving sentients to an aspect of a Vampire’s beast.
As Fou’Drake is a separate personality, all its memories are its own. The consciousness of the primary personality would enter a Fugue state while Fou’Drake is in control.
Additionally, when Fou’Drake is in control, all Appearance-based Social Traits become "Intimidating" or "Threatening". This Discipline ceases to function if the beast is removed, suppressed or controlled.

Note: In order to teach Fou’Drake’s Blessing the Teacher must force the derangement Multiple Personalities upon the learning Kindred, which requires training in Psychology equal to the level being taught. In addition, the learning Kindred must consume the blood of the Teacher while Fou’Drake is in control. When in the process of learning or teaching this power, all involved parties are considered to be at 1 Self-Control for the duration of the teaching.

1 - Gentleman No More (basic)

When your blood boils and the anger seeps to the surface, the Beast is ready to come out and play.

System: Spend 1 point of blood to bring out Fou'drake, Gain Vicious Nails which inflict 2 Lethal in Brawl, 2 extra points of Intimidation for use in retests (This does not increase the level of the ability) and Intimidating x2 social traits, and give over control to your alternate persona. You also gain the negative traits Violent x2 and Feral x2.
After the power wears off, the user has no memory of what happened during its use. Taking the first dot of this Discipline gives you the permanent derangement Multiple Personalities. If this derangement is ever suppressed or bought off, access to the discipline is lost.

2 - Fou’Drake’s Ire (basic)

The beast is an angry mistress, and his Ire knows no bounds.

System: While under the effects of "Gentleman No More" you may spend a blood trait to enter a battle frenzy, gaining Brawny x2, Tireless x1, 3x Bruised Health Levels, and suffer no Wound penalties until you reach the Crippled health level. Additionally, your Brawl now does an additional level of Lethal damage, for a total of 3. You may not willingly exit combat while under this effect.
Ire lasts for the scene or until you spend 3 rounds calming down away from combat or physical activity.
You may not wear armor or enter a non-human form while under the effects of this power. Additionally, you are immune to Frenzy and Rotschreck while in this state. Likewise, you may not enter this state if already in Frenzy or Rotshreck. This power may not be used in conjunction with True Berserker or similar powers.

3 - Witness Him (int.)

The roar of an angry beast will send even the bravest soldiers fleeing in terror.

System: Spend a Blood Trait and a Willpower, activating the first 2 levels of this Discipline together and letting out a blood-curdling roar. You may make a social challenge against a chosen target, retest Intimidation. If successful, the target will flee in terror as if affected by Dread Gaze. If you fail, the target takes a -1 penalty to Courage challenges for as long as they remain in your presence. This is considered a Fear-based power, and the defender may retest with Intimidation.

4 - They Call Him Mr. Fou’Drake (int.)

When the beast gets angry, all hell breaks loose.

System: If not already under the effects of " Fou’Drake’s Ire", spend 2 Blood and a Willpower, activating the first 2 levels of this discipline in tandem with this effect.

Otherwise, if already under the effects of Fou’Drake’s Ire, this power only costs a Willpower.
Fou’Drake’s rage burns within, causing your muscles to bulk up, claws to grow longer and your skin to burn hot to the touch. In addition to the previous effects of this power, gain +4 Bonus Traits to Strength-based challenges and 2x Healthy Health Levels. Your nails now inflict 3 Aggravated Damage and have High-Caliber (chop for an additional point of Lethal Damage). When in this form, in addition to the limitations of previous levels, you may not use Social or Mental powers aside from Dementation. You gain additional negative traits of Violent x3 and Feral x3 for the duration of the power, which stack with those gained from “Gentleman No More”.

Due to the physical toll of this power, once this form power ends, you gain Lethargic x3 and Submissive x3 for the remainder of the night. This penalty stacks every time you use this power. If you ever have more Negative traits than Permanent traits in a given category, you immediately fall into Torpor.

5 - My Friend Fou’Drake (adv.)

The beast is Legion, in the end, all shall join the beast.

System: This power confers its benefits based upon the number of other Vampire’s currently under the effects of Fou’Drake’s Blessing. All Vampire’s participating in this power must have at least the first level of Fou’Drake’s Blessing active and must drink 1 point of blood from each other active Fou’Drake After which point, the following benefits come into effect:

-All participants gain a Hive Mind style Telepathy with every other Fou’Drake within line of sight.

-All participants share a single Willpower pool based on their cumulative Willpower.

-All participants gain bonus traits to Perception challenges due to shared sensory input based on the number of participants, up to a max of +5.

-All participants gain bonus traits to Intimidation challenges based on the number of participants, up to a max of +5.
