Line 10:
* [[Anti-Villain]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Villains|Type I or Type II.]]
* [[Ax Crazy]]: An option if you play a Malkavian or character with low Humanity.
* [[Badass]]: A quality that all
** [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: At the very least.
*** [[Badass Bookworm]]: If willing to put the [[Experience Points]] into it, to the extent that your knowledge can impress Beckett, a [[Badass Bookworm]] with centuries of seniority.
Line 18:
* [[Blessed with Suck]] and [[Cursed with Awesome]]: The player character is now a vampire with the need for blood, perpetual nocturnal existence, countless enemies and near-invincibility that comes with it. To what extent one is blessed/cursed with suck/awesome depends on your clan.
* [[But Thou Must!]]: Prince LaCroix's orders are impossible to turn down, especially since he has Dominate.
* [[Celibate Hero]]/[[Really Gets Around]]: Inverted. The
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]
▲* [[Celibate Hero]]/[[Really Gets Around]]: Inverted. The PC is a vampire and can't have sex like a normal person but can seduce anyone they like with enough points in Seduction (for blood rather than sex, with the seducee left with the impression that something sexy took place). Likewise, they can be 'celibate' and just live off rats or blood bags.
* [[Combat Stilettos]]: Female Toreador and Ventrue wear these, and don't break a sweat swinging swords and axes in heels.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: The player gets a lot of options to snark in conversation. This goes double for the Nosferatu
* [[Death by Origin Story]]: Your sire.
* [[Death by Sex]]: Well, undeath by sex.
* [[The Dragon]]: The
* [[Friendly Neighbourhood Vampire]]: While the
* [[The Grotesque]]: Pretty much guaranteed for Nosferatu protagonists.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]
* [[Guile Hero]]
* [[I Was Quite the Looker]]: What you little you can see of the Nosferatu
* [[Kleptomaniac Hero]]: A standard of RPGs everywhere. Also, a [[Justified Trope]] in universe, as vampires are not intrinsically bound by human moral norms aside from [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]], so [[I Did What I Had to Do|whatever you have to do to survive is considered fair play.]]
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: With a Toreador (or better, a Brujah) at full Celerity.
* [[Made of Iron]]: The
* [[Multiple Choice Past]]: With the Unofficial patch you're given a choice of backgrounds at character creation which reflect into various changes in your stats. Each clan has about six different backgrounds which are related to the clan's strengths and weaknesses.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: The Malkavian
** A notable exception is {{spoiler|Velvet Velour}}, though she also has a nickname ("doll"):
{{quote|'''Malkavian''': How come you hide your true name behind a fabric, {{spoiler|Susan}}?}}
Line 48:
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: You have a few options for it like blackmailing Lily, driving the Thin Blood vampire hunter to his death, or just randomly burning people's minds out with Dementation every chance you get.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: As with most open-ended RPGs, this is definitely an option. As long as you make a reasonable effort to keep up [[The Masquerade]], you can be as depraved as you like. And let's face it, sometimes upholding the Masquerade involves having to [[Leave No Witnesses]].
* [[You Kill It, You Bought It]]: The
