"Welcome to the city of Angels Kiddo! Las Angeles. If you're hearing this message welcome to our little club. You see after the fall of Sebastian LaCroix, the Prince of the Camerilla (We'll save the politics for a little later). A lot of kindred, or as you know them, vampires, were busy celebrating by sireing those they considered to be their closest friends and getting killed for it by what's left of the Camerilla bastards, sorry about that kiddo, but I've seen someone go sireless and do some amazing things. In fact, the reason you're still alive is because of that Kindred. So welcome to the club! Let's start with the crap that you've been told for years in comics, movies, tv, video games, ect...ect... 

Garlic, is worthless. A cross? Shove it up the priests ass if you want. Running Water? Not a problem, I bathe...occasionally. A wooden stake? Well if it catches you in the heart you'll become paralyzed...so...that's a problem, but when it's removed it's fine. 

Now, a shotgun blast to the face...oh that's trouble kiddo. Fire, do not touch that, and sunlight? If the sun hits you well...it's game over. Also keep in mind, you might be able to take a beating however, you're not indestructible. Take to much of one and well...you're ass is ash kiddo.

Now, I should probably warn you about the other creatures of the night, Zombies are a thing, but they're wimps so don't worry about it, if they pop up just hit them in the head really really hard. Now, our furry cousins the werewolves? Kiddo, i got one word for you with that. Unless you are the toughest vampire that has ever damn lived, fucking...run. Werewolves and Vampires in the Movies may be evenly matched, but in reality only the truly experienced vampire can take one on and it's still no easy feat. So don't go hunting them down. 

Now don't worry, because you probably have fed by now and you're feeling all kickass right? Feeling better than your best day living. Well guess what kid! It gets even BETTER! All Kindred possess sharper senses, a body that can take a beating and shrug off most bullets, can regenerate their wounds by drinking blood, stronger strength and speed, and if you play your cards right. Eternal Life. 

It's a long shot though, but hey a chance of immortality is awesome right? Heck, I'm from the Golden Age of Pirates, so I know it can be done. 

Now, you're probably confused about your altered appearance since you got sired. That's because of the specific clans that you belong to. 

Clans are easy to explain, they's basically what type of vampire you are: 

Brujah: My clan, basically we like to kick ass and take names. We're stronger to then most vampires, and the Camerilla doesn't really trust Brujah's because of who we are. Sorry about that kiddo. 

Gangrel: Now this is going to sound super weird, but Gangrel's are vampire werewolves of sort. They have the unique ability to transform into a large bat in what is known as a War Form. They can talk to animals, and actually kind of prefer nature to the big city most of the time. 

Malkavian: God I Feel bad for you if you are this can, because you probably don't understand a world I'm saying right now. Your mind is just...gone..you're completely insane and the problem is you don't even know it. 

Nosferatu: Well...at least you still have a brain if you're this...but you are one ugly mother fucker. Sorry about that, but hey you can talk to animals, and the fact you have long claw like nails means you're hands are pretty dangerous so...that's a plus if you're in a fight. Just...be prepared to be stared at if you go out in public. 

Toreador: You kind of lucked out on the whole looks thing. You're basically a supermodel. You understand humanity the best which is great for you. Though most Nosferatu will hate your ass for obvious reasons. 

Tremere: Now these guys are weird. Have you ever heard of the middle ages? Well try to imagine a modern day vampire mage. Tremere's can do various types of magic and mystical things. Though those guys creepy me out. 

*Hiss* Ventrue: The elite of the elite. These bastards are often high society stuck up pricks. LaCroix was a Ventrue bastard as well. So...sorry kid, not a fan of this can like most Brujah. Ventrue's have a strong command of sorts. They like to manipulate people into do what they want and can even control the minds of Kindred and people. 

Now that we got out of the way, I got a word of warning for you. You're a big bad monster congratulations, but keep it to yourself okay? 

Now I know what you're thinking? But I got that list from High School, or I can conquer the World, or I can make other people my personal bitch, or some shit like that. Simple, it's why you don't see Kindred out run the 7-15 to Sacromento, it's why the Lion doesn't want the sheep to know he's there. It's why you didn't know any of this shit before you were played this tape. Keep our secrets, secret and we don't have problems. 

Finally, the one thing you should know about is...well...you're a monster now...one of the Damned and the Fallen. Please try to keep it to yourself, and your beast welled up inside of you. Let me put it to you like this. The beast lives within us all...the less humanity you have the crueler you'll become and even worse...you can go feral...and when you do...Kindred rules won't mean a damn thing to you. Before you think: Don't we kill when we feed? You can feed without getting greedy you know. Don't kill humans when you feed on them...or if you want to...just eat animals. Safer and easier to explain off as an attack from another animal. 

Now, for the stuff that'll actually kill you, and I'm not talking about the stuff you saw before. Good old fashioned Politics. Sorry Kiddo, but this needs to be said, and I'll try to stay objective but I'll let you know that I don't like...well all but one of the factions I'm listing. 

The Anarchs: We believe in the Anarch Free State. We believe that Kindred rules are kind of blindingly obvious and that they don't need to be Enforced by some big bad agency. 

The Camerilla: These guys...well they think the opposite. They enforce Kindred Laws to try to uphold what they call...the Masquerade. I won't lie, I'm not a fan, but I can see where they're coming from a bit. 

The Sabat: They don't have these rules...they don't care. Try to imagine what your sire did during their celebration, and making it a bad horror show. They believe that a Kindred can do whatever the hell they want without consequences. 

The Kuei-Jin: Now it might be possible that you are one of these. They are what you would call vampires from the east. They have rules like the Camerilla but they believe themselves to be the superior vampire breed because they like stuff that humans used. 

Some Kindred go solo so don't feel bad if you do. 

I think that about covers everything so...we're good here. Welcome to LA kiddo, and please watch yourself" - Smiling Jack
