Ｔｈｅ Ｇａｌｌｏｉ
You find yourself in the halls of a beautiful structure of wrought marble and gold. The air around you is warm and welcoming. Even your eyes seem to hungrily devour the works of masterpieces that hang upon the many walls. But it is the beauty that wistfully pulls away from one of many plush couches that lay in the shadows surrounding the warm waters of the bath house, that fills you with an artistic hunger that you have never felt before.
"It seems my shining abode has attracted you.... won't you join me? You come seeking beauty and perfection. I can give it to you. "
An invitation. Yet there is a double-edged sword hidden within her words. Regardless of your answer, she takes your hand and leads you further into the building, becoming your guide.

→Requirement←
To join the Galloi, a vampire must have a profound connection to the spiritual, artistic, or transcendental aspects of existence.
This connection is often sought through rituals, trials of beauty, or by showing a willingness to embrace the path of self-transformation.
→Strength←
The Galloi possess the Mask of Beauty, allowing them to conceal their true, monstrous forms and appear strikingly beautiful to others.
This power helps them manipulate social situations and hide their inner deformities.
They also have potent rituals linked to the transcendence of their monstrous nature, using beauty and self-perfection as a form of power.
→Weakness←
The Galloi are bound to their own pursuit of spiritual beauty and transformation, which can sometimes make them appear obsessed with their self-image or disconnected from the reality around them.
They may struggle with the emotional cost of maintaining their Mask of Beauty, and their obsession with perfection can lead to emotional or spiritual isolation.
Their reliance on the Mask may also make them vulnerable to those who can see through illusions or manipulate their inner nature.
→General Appearance←
Galloi often appear in an elegant, almost ethereal manner, with a haunting beauty that masks their true, monstrous forms.
When their Mask of Beauty is in effect, they are strikingly beautiful and flawless in their outward appearance, though beneath that façade, their true forms are often twisted or grotesque.
Their fashion tends to be luxurious and artistic, reflecting their obsession with perfection.
→Abode←
Galloi tend to dwell in places that reflect their connection to beauty and art—elegant mansions, secluded sanctuaries, or luxurious private chambers.
They may often seek out locations of great natural beauty or cultural significance, believing that their surroundings should reflect their quest for transcendence.
Their living spaces may be filled with art, ritualistic objects, and symbols of their spiritual journey.
→Background←
The Galloi are an ancient and secretive bloodline, sometimes thought to be descendants of the mythical cult of Cybele.
Their origins are rooted in a deep spiritual connection to beauty, ritual, and transcendence.
They were once mortal artists or mystics, but through the embrace of vampirism, they have sought to use their new immortality to achieve perfection in body and spirit.
They are sometimes regarded as outsiders among Kindred, misunderstood or distrusted for their obsession with beauty and their self-imposed spiritual isolation.
→Organization←
The Galloi are organized loosely, often following personal mentors or spiritual leaders who guide them in their journey toward self-perfection.
There is no formal hierarchy, but more experienced Galloi may take on disciples or initiate others into their practices.
The organization is less about political power and more about spiritual and artistic mastery, with a heavy emphasis on rituals and personal transformation.
They may form small, close-knit communities or follow a solitary path.

"True beauty is the reflection of one's soul, perfected beyond the flesh."
Their beliefs are simple:
Beauty is divine: They see beauty as a path to enlightenment.
The Mask hides the truth: They maintain their perfect appearance through blood rituals.
Art is sacred: Their creations are offerings to the forces of beauty.
Beauty and decay are intertwined: They understand that beauty exists alongside its opposite.
The Galloi are organized like an artistic cult:
Luceria is their eternal muse: She guides and inspires them.
High Artists lead: They interpret Luceria's teachings and guide others.
Acolytes learn: They strive to master the Galloi's ways.
Everyone plays a part: All members contribute to the pursuit of beauty.
Their rituals are a mix of art and blood:
Blood baths maintain beauty: They bathe in blood to renew their Mask.
They create art to transcend: They believe perfect art can free them from their curse.
They feast and celebrate: They combine blood consumption with artistic performance.
In the modern day, the Galloi adapt:
They use technology to create and share their art.
They find new ways to perform their blood rituals.
They influence the art world from the shadows.
The Galloi remain a secretive bloodline, forever seeking beauty while hiding their monstrous truth.
Led by the enigmatic Luceria, they are a testament to the enduring power of beauty and the eternal struggle between creation and decay.
