Brujah

Clan Brujah is largely composed of rebels, both with and without a cause. Individualistic, outspoken and turbulent, Brujah hold social change near to their undead hearts and the clan’s ranks contain some of the most violent of the Camarilla Kindred. Most other kindred see the Brujah as punks and miscreants, but the truth of the matter is that genuine passion lies behind their polemics. Brujah Kindred adopt pet passions and causes, which they support with volume and vitriol. Some Brujah follow charismatic members of their clan, while other prefers stances of blatant, defiant individualism. The clan claims a history rich with warrior-poets, and it had adapted this concept into the modern night; many Brujah are glad to have an opportunity to speak their minds, and then indulge in a bit of destruction afterward to illustrate their points. The Rabble’s espousal of change unites them, albeit tenuously, in their nightly crusades. Given a common enemy, Brujah with vastly differing ideals will join side by side to oppose their foe. After that foe is defeated, however, all bets are off and it’s back to business as usual. A common Brujah theme involved the foundation of a Kindred “Utopia” or the re creation of a mythical one from nights past, though each Brujah vampire has a different idea of what Utopia is. Brujah rely on chaotic behavior and upheaval to get their ideas across. The Rabble are allowed a certain leeway that others clans do not have. Brujah are almost expected to be incoherent and bellicose: this stereotype works to the advantage of many eloquent well spoken members of the clan, who have no need to resort to violence when making their arguments. Respected for they’re martially and readiness, the Brujah are the physical strength of the Camarilla. Of late, however, many Rabble neonates see their rolls in the Camarilla as an institution unto itself, and more than a little unrest circulates among the clan. Other Kindred believe that the Brujah would be the first to leave the Camarilla. The Brujah believe it too.
