Clanless Rogues

Curses
Curse of The Unenlightened: "Those born without guidence and knowledge of their kind, not knowing how near or far to Userkef's Dynasty they were made, shall learn nothing beyond their Ancestral Powers lest they Unite in Brotherhood by bond of their blood, and create a dynasty and haven of their own where they may have a place to study in private and under guard of their brothers. Let them not study those powers exclusive to their unknown Sire, for unseeing are they of those powers within them. Only in finding their Sire, and IF their Sire acknowledges them, shall those powers of their Sire be unlocked in them."

Degeneration: "Let them not have the ancestral Power of the Mind that they may read into the thoughts of those other of Userkaf's blood line, for that is a power only the Sire can unlock in one of their own blood." (in other words? They are not telepathic)

The Five Curses of Userkaf: Sun Bane. Blood of Life. Pall of Death. The Black Veil. Blood Bondage.

Note: Generation can not be below five with RARE exceptions.

Information
Their Clan is unknown and they often go by their ethnic-group, human surname, or by territory in naming their blood kind. The most cotoriously known of this 'clique' is the Clan Kinnian Rogues, the leader Eaghan Kinnian, a 3rd Generation by Accidental Siring in AD 1325 by Wulfgar, who had taken Eaghan for dead. The Irishman had put up a good fight for a mortal. Those wounds of Wulfgar's bled into the wounds of Eaghan Kinnian, and so when Wulfgar left the man for dead, he rose from his death sleep some hours later as clanless vampire.

Rogues are often called 'Bastards' or 'Clanless' by their blood brothers. When a group of Rogue Anubian Vampires forms a Clan, they may commit to the study of select spheres of Power that are not Clan Specific. Only when they form Clans, Tribes, or Families can they learn 'uninherited' powers. The main reason for this is that have the protection in numbers to commit to the time and energy required TO learn and Master a Power. Most Rogue Vampires become Masters of their Ancestral Powers and even exceed its known limits. If a Rogue discovers who his/her Sire is or was, the Gatekeeper of Knowledge unlocks the curse laid by Anubis of the Unenlightened, and those powers of their Sire are passed on to them to Learn.

All Anubian Vampires share these abilities and traits in common unless stated otherwise.

Haze of Forgetfulness:
the vampire can haze the mind of a blood victim or a witness to make them forget anything they have observed or experienced in concerns to the vampire since laying eyes on them. The subject simply has a hole in their memory, a black out, of that duration. This power must be used on a subject within 24 hours of first encountering the vampire for it to be effective. Success depends on the vampire covering the subject's eyes or brow with his/her hand for a count of 30 seconds (-1 second per level to time of 5 seconds) while applying this ability. All Userkaf vampires have this ability.
