Congratulations! You're becoming an oWoD vampire! What are you going to do with the rest of eternity?

If you want to be a faggot and just say "hurr durr I become a Tremere and use all the different abilities to become god" that's fine, but if you could try to be more creative with it that would make for much better reading.

Caitiff, obviously. No weakness, three Disciplines of my choice to start, and an easy time learning or creating new Disciplines.
Since I don't have to worry about other vampires, I probably choose Celerity, Obfuscate, and Presence.
And I basically do whatever I want, remembering that I only need 1 vitae per night, which is not nearly enough to kill or even seriously injure someone, and so as long as I don't go overboard with spending blood I have no real risk of entering into a hunger frenzy.
Seriously, that's it. I'm not going to have some kind of grand scheme of taking over the world or anything. I'm going to have fun. And not in like a sick and twisted way, I mean like I'm going to learn languages and read books and play video games and so on.

Tzimisce
Spend eternity creating my own revenant families out blood-bound and Vicissitude while also remaking myself into a new creature. Ultimately not just creating new species but religion, gouvernement culture and remaking the entire world.
life whitout purpose is painfull, mine would be creation

Baali.
Unfortunately I only played the game a few times in my life and it was never really very clear to me what the deal with baali was, but since you're telling me theres no other vampires at all, why not.
Either that or Nosferatu.
Jackson Rodriguez
Baali's signature Discipline of Daimonion won't be much used to you unless demons actually exist, so you might want to double-check that with OP.
Their "deal" is that they're basically a clan of demon worshippers who depending on your version and preferences are either killing a lot of people to try and speed up the end of the world; or else killing a lot of people in order to stave off the end of the world. Either way you're going to be killing a lot of people.
Carson Hill
The most realistic vampires to me were the very-minimal-humanity or none at all vampires. So this is fine with me. I'm still vacillating between baali and nosferatu, but if baali's main discipline might be useless, I'm now leaning more towards nosferatu.
Connor Davis
This isn't a character in a game, though (well, I mean, it sort of is, but you know what I mean), this is YOU. YOU are deciding that, given a choice in the matter, YOU would most like to be an inhuman monster.
Jace Martinez
I didn't quite understand that at first but it changes nothing. I'm a realist, I understand that existing for eternities of time as an undead blood drinking beast wears your humanity compassion empathy etc down to a nub. Realistically, to me, every vampire no matter what they are, eventually in the very-long-haul, becomes an 0 humanity monster. Yet at the same time I read Nietzsche and I understood it to mean you make your own morals and judgements, and you stand by them, not out of fear of some inferno of pain or sky man, you stand by them because you are forging your own way ahead. Yet at the same time, I'm torn, because if something supernatural exists, the existence of a deity is possible, and it behooves me to act accordingly. It's complicated somewhat.
Adam Powell
I'd love to be a Tremere, they've always been my favorite clan but I'm afraid I'm not ambitious or ruthless enough to really fit in to the hierarchy. I'd likely be an Apprentice forever.
If I'm the only vampire in the world, though, I'd take any bloodline that doesn't fuck my appearance and just keep to myself for all eternity. Like I said I'm not very ambitious
Parker Wood
>I understand that existing for eternities of time as an undead blood drinking beast wears your humanity compassion empathy etc down to a nub
Will it? Plenty of old people are quite empathic and caring, often moreso than they were in their youths.
Ryan Morales
Those people are not truly old. I'm talking about living for thousands of years, never seeing the light of the sun, never feeling the warmth of the sun on your face, cut off, forever, from the kinship of other human beings, existing by hunting them and drinking their blood in an eternal sameness of night after night existence with no end in sight, in a bleak, unending parade of night after bloody night, each night one step further into an eternity of night and sameness.
Julian Harris
Ventrue. For some reason I've always liked them the best. I played on in a shitty freeform forum RP back in the day and always felt like I should enjoy them.
Josiah Harris
Don't get the wrong impression guy, I'm not saying I ~want~ to become this thing, I'm just saying I know myself well enough to know that at some point it's going to start tending that way after some period of existence as any type of vampire, so I may as well pick one that suits the survival needs of such an existence, since I don't believe in suicide.
Easton Martin
>never seeing the light of the sun
Yeah, but think of all the awesome nights.
>never feeling the warmth of the sun on your face
I hate sweating, so this isn't a negative for me.
>cut off, forever, from the kinship of other human beings
You absolutely are not. Did you never watch Highlander? Plenty of Immortals in it carry on normal relationships with humans, even after they reveal themselves.
>existing by hunting them and drinking their blood in an eternal sameness
Dude, you're not getting it. Travel! Explore! DO! If I'm immortal, my first stop is Spain. I want to learn Castillian Spanish, so I'm going to go to Spain and spend as much time there as it takes to learn to read and write Spanish fluently, while seeing the sights and exploring Spain. Then I'll to go France and do the same. Then Germany, then Italy, etc. Meet people and hang out with them.
Have fun, dude. By the time you've traveled the world like that and looped back around to Spain, centuries will have probably passed and the Spain you return to will be a completely different Spain, so you get to do it all over again.
Ethan Phillips
I feel like Ventrue is weaksause without other Vampires. Like, they are really good at being business people but so can Toreador if you want to work in Hollywood or in the music scene.
Aaron Hill
Obvious answer in this context is Caitiff. With no other vampires around its the best option.
Discipline wise obviously you want Thuamaturgy. If there are ghosts in the world I would also want necromancy. The third slot would go to vicissitude, so I could reshape myself and others. I'd go with these three from the start because they're the three that I don't imagine U'll just come up with over time. Since there are no other vamps I don't have to worry about being combat capable at the beginning.
I think presence would be the most useful discipline, but blood bonding and shit should be more than enough to get me by. Plus, disciplines like presence and celerity are easier to spontaneously learn in the fluff. Without Gehenna looming, I've got an eternity to learn.
Landon Barnes
I get what you're saying, I'm just very different than you. At some point it might change to a more relaxed pace of existence like what you're talking about, but for me, the first long time is most likely going to be spent taking steps to ensure my own survival is ironclad guaranteed. I don't want really anyone to know who I am or where I am until I'm well ensconced. I would however buy a castle somewhere in the italian alps, and maybe one somewhere less crowded.
Andrew Moore
>existing by hunting them and drinking their blood in an eternal sameness
How is that different from normal people? You eat food and work pointless jobs to continue to do so and then you die. As a vampire, I get to do that longer, and get to live long enough to see my hard work actually change the world.
Brandon Jones
The human sameness existence eventually ends.
Aaron Bennett
Which means it's worse than Vampires.
Jack Bennett
I don't think any human can imagine what it would really actually be like to be 3000 years old.
Christian Jenkins
Like a historian but instead of learning about the past you remember it.
Julian Brooks
My kindred!
I'm be a Tzimisce almost entirely because since I was a child I've wanted to grow up to be Doctor Moreau, and now I can be! I can make fun monsters, disguise myself as whatever I want, become a Guyver, possibly be the host of an alien death parasite from the shadowlands depending on what canon you're paying attention to, the possibilities are endless!
Josiah Young
I'm with you guys on this one.
Shits gonna get weird.
Elijah Moore
In a game I ran, Vampires had revealed themselves to the world and one of the things one of my players did was create a Tzimisce that started a new Trend of Vicissitude body mods, like tattoos, that was becoming big in the punk and goth underground scene.
Jeremiah Cooper
You know what the fun thing about nosferatu is? You never see them coming.
HEY OH! thank you, thank you, try the live bat, it's the best in Transylvania.
Juan Rivera
On my own and of the "normal" clans:
Ventrue. While I could give or take on Fortitude the double barrel of Dominate and Presence could lead to a comfortable life.
Otherwise, yeah. and have the right of it.
If you're going to be the ONLY vampire be a Caitiff. Your curse is meaningless without vampire society and the ability to develop disciplines independently would make for a nice long term project.
As for my perferred 3?
Presence, Obtenebration, Thaumaturgy(Chaos Magic style for preference)
Adam Flores
That sounds fucking rad.
I've got a Tzimisce in the campaign I'm running right now who's big thing is that he likes making hoax footage, so he's making Vicissitude minions shaped like cryptids and letting them loose in the woods so he can spite people he knew in life who called his cryptozoology studies bullshit. He's after the party after they killed a Jersey Devil of his that attacked their van.
Jacob Lopez
Nosferatu because I play life on Hard Mode
Chase Gonzalez
Brujah of course
Austin White
Ima become this guy.
Luis Perry
which clans are the most depressive
I'm gonna kill myself
Connor Thompson
Well of course I'm going to pick Tremere!
Adrian Jackson
>I've had a longstanding belief that if given the chance to obtain forbidden cosmic secrets I would probably risk my sanity for it.
Being a Malkavian is going to fucking suck.
Brayden Jones
Tzimicie.
First, I fleshcraft myself into Hitler.
Then, I setup hidden minature cathedrals of flesh but also Nazi sewer bunkers, Wolfenstein shit.
Then I kill Jews, turn them into Lampshades, and sell those lampshades to Holocaust museums, making a quick buck and a laugh at the irony.
Then I seek out and kidnap whites that have been subject to circumcision, and restore their foreskins and over time, redpill them. Then I return them to the world of men.
I also take nu-males, give them Chins and make them cannibalize the Jew Victims, turning them into feral ubermenssh due to TEST overload- and unleash them on their mothers or whoever made them bitchborn.
Soon, Postmodern national socialists start popping up left and right, all claiming to have had the same prophetic experience of Hitler using his Jesus powers to undo the Jew's slave mark/restore them to their true form. As an extra laugh, I find the biggest fucking uncle tom I can and make him Malcom X 2.0
I sit back, sip on some vitae, and watch the chaos unfold. I use the Wartime bodies from all the civil wars and social revolt and subsequent race purging to make legions of horrors.
Then, I take a ship to Israel and unleash my creations upon the land.
I might take over a telecommunications company to pull off the Hotline Miami effect- imagine if Andrei was just that much more apt with phones.
Juan Cooper
Caitiff.
Dominate, Presence, and Temporis
