Character paths
The Rarer Blood
Some stories need a different door. An elder with unfinished business. An unfamiliar bloodline. A life beyond the vampires’ world. Bring the person behind the power to a Storyteller. Together, you can work out the right path, its requirements and where the story belongs.
Still taking shape. Rules, character options and application steps are subject to change as we refine the experience. Check back for the latest guidance.

Players must speak with Staff before applying to be an Elder.
More than an exception
Bring a story the city can answer.
Some characters change the temperature of a room before they say a word. Unfamiliar blood. An old reputation. Something the Kindred do not have a name for. The interesting question is not how much power they carry. It is what their presence gives everyone else to play.
Explain who they are, why Los Santos matters to them, and how they make room for other people’s stories. Being listed here is an invitation to understand a possibility, not a promise that the path is open or the character approved.
Special Kindred
A different inheritance.
Some bloodlines are always Seasonal: the Baali, the Kiasyd and the Maeghar among those offered here, with the others in the lists below. The Nagaraja are Seasonal only when made as Elders, within population caps. Their unfamiliarity is a reason to explain the concept clearly: its background, obligations, limitations and place in our chronicle.
A bloodline without its own option on the website is requested through the Rarer Blood, with a Storyteller. The configured allowlist determines the next step.
Seasonal stories
A story with a horizon.
A Seasonal character’s story focus is built to last a single season: an Elder from the capped list, a rare bloodline, a faction role or something beyond the Kindred. Plan goals you can reach while the focus is on you, and explain what a satisfying conclusion could look like. Afterwards the character may stay, but the main story will likely move elsewhere.
Age and power need explicit review. The Elder category is not a public shortcut to a stronger sheet; Storytellers confirm the permitted framework and any adjustments. A Camarilla Elder stays Non-Seasonal. An Elder of a clan or bloodline on the Elder list is Seasonal and subject to population caps: check availability with staff before you write.
Beyond Kindred
The night has other inhabitants.
The other-paths branch gathers Garou, Fera, Changelings, Demons, Mages, Kuei-Jin, Wraiths and Sorcerors. Each brings a different kind of story and its own questions about how it fits this city. Staff review the concept and confirm whether that path is available.
All of them are always Seasonal, except sorcerers and hedge magic, who are Seasonal only when made as Elders. Hunters are Non-Seasonal.
Hunters have a separate route connected to Mortal admission. Starting as one and becoming one through play are different possibilities, and neither is guaranteed.
Prepare the conversation
Give the idea somewhere to live.
Bring a concise concept, the relationships that make it playable, the limits you expect to work within, and any material staff need to understand it. If you are pitching together, make each character’s part clear. A review may refine the idea before it becomes a character.
Seasonal or Non-Seasonal
Every character is one or the other.
A Non-Seasonal character may carry a story across several seasons. A Seasonal character’s story is built to last one season: plan goals you can reach while the focus is on you.
Non-Seasonal
A story that may run across several seasons. Elders included.
