Toreador

I’m dressed to killAnd you know that I willWe’re dancing in the darkWith my hands around your heartOh, heads will roll and blood will spillBut how can you resistWhen baby, I am dressed to kill?

-Cher, “Dressed to Kill”

Sect: Camarilla, Anarch (Rarely), Sabbat (Toreador Antitribu)

Toreador, Sects and Violence: That’s a pun, I couldn’t resist.

Could you play a Toreador with the standard clan weakness in the Sabbat, or a Perv in the Camarilla or the Anarchs? Sure. Do it up. Just be advised you’re creating new challenges for yourself. The Toreador tendency to be enraptured is regarded as effete weakness by many in the Sabbat. And a Perv’s excesses of behavior will… probably get along fine outside the Sabbat, but they’re going to get some raised eyebrows, and almost certainly be watched closely by other members of their clan, who know that among Toreador there’s a difference between a catty bitch and a vicious sadist.
