Becoming Ana’s BFF is both a traumatic and ultimately, comforting experience for the target.
To use this power requires that the Kindred knows the target’s Nature, which is necessary for the power to take effect. Bidding an incorrect nature causes the Kindred to automatically fail the challenge, as well as pick up a random temporary derangement related to the target (if the target is unusually angry, Crimson Rage might appropriate), or where the target is the object the derangement (Obsession, etc.).
To enact the power, the Kindred bids a Social and a Mental trait, and makes a Social challenge against the target (retest with Leadership). Only one challenge can be made per evening. If three attempts in a row are successful, the target becomes “Ana’s BFF” and suffers the following changes:
1. Similar to the Path of Corruption 4 (Addiction), for every 3 nights that she is forced to go without a fix, she must bid an additional Trait on all challenges she participates in - the longer she waits, the worse her condition becomes, unless resolving a task specifically requested by the Kindred who used Ana’s BFF.
2. The target gains a permanent derangement either related to the Kindred who used Ana’s BFF, or where the Kindred is the focus of the derangement.
3. The target is always considered Submissive towards the Kindred who successfully enacted this power.
4. The target is under the effects of a 2pt blood bond without the benefits of the blood, and is subject to intense jealousy of any other creature under the effects of this power, similar to the jealousy felt by ghouls serving the same master (crazy senses its own).
For the Kindred using this power, they get someone who shows up as a normal (if insane) member of their natural species, who intensely craves the attention of, the approval of, and recognition by the user of this power, and will do almost anything to get it (it will take more work to make a Caregiver kill than a Monster, or a Masochist to hurt others, but we have to be willing to change for the most important person in the world, right? RIGHT?). This power will affect full supernaturals.
