, " So the MC has a Blood bound to Callisto. It is the weakest one but there is one. I am not sure if it is playing a Role in future updates. But it can cause Problems/benefits.
Another one is that by V20 all Treme are Bloodbound by +1 Level. So the MC can´t be from Tremere blood. But Fabian is clearly a Tremere, or something similar like Salubri Mage, Tzimisce Sorcerer etc. But looking to the Main Disciplines of the Salubri: The MC could be of their Bloodline, and this is why Fabian (as Tremere) called him Brother. they have Auspex, Dominate, Fortitude, Obeah, Valeran and Obfuscate. Depends on which Age the Sire is from, but in their Blood it can be that all Disciplines are anchored.
And again I see no real proof for Celerity, a Elder blood can spend so much Blood (even unnoticed) to enhance his Dexterity that this can be the explanation while he rushes so fast through the Forest.
And I don´t see a Proof for Auspex, their are hints but no real proof.
Not going to discuss most of the above, but will hit some high points-
Yes MC is 1 step in on thralldom aka Blood Bound to Calisto. She states to him to have some blood dolls ready for her visit out to continue what they started. Lots of folks are hoping the blood dolls are for the MC to have sex with her. Sex really isn't that hard for the vampire, just has to have blood, and direct it the right place, but it does not come close to the satisfaction and pleasure of the sharing of blood. Folks do not want to believe that because we have adult novels here, and this is an adult novel, there has been some sex with the female cop. Laurie might get some, and Carmen might get some. Sharon, not sure. Calisto is not interested in sex. She wants to complete her blood bond on her childe. The blood doll reference is a courtesy of providing hospitality for a visiting kindred aka noble. So she likely wants to come out, get at least one step closer to a blood bond and see what havoc she can incite her kiddo to do.
Bloodlines/clan lines. I think that Artemis and an as yet unrevealed ancient Apollo are the connection for Fabian and the MC as the two super ancients could be from the same progenitor. Apollo is also associated with Hecate-magic titan goddess kid of his so it could fit.
As to the disciplines our MC definitely has:
Obfuscate- what level? who knows
Super Claws-more than Protean grants as Markus states that the Gangrel aka wolfboys have to actually do some damage to cause the agony that our boy does with a scratch.
Silent Whispers- which is a kind of mind reading combined with mind control that does not require eye contact that dominate requires of most users, and presence is not as precise as the whispers are. Additionally the whispers have a lasting effect. The poor cop Mirri is besotted with our MC to the point she forgets about safety of her kids and has the MC over for eggs and sex.
Boosted attributes accounts for abilities, but all vampires can do that to a certain level, now if none are say 5th gen and our dude can boost his dex to 8 that will boost his base movement to super human levels, but not the blur he exhibits one a couple of occasions, so yes I am sticking with Celerity as one of his confirmed abilities.
He FOR SURE has Auspex. His heightened senses find Astrid almost instantly in the morgue. Now if the visions he has are auspex related, and they could be, he has very high auspex.
Presence- he demonstrates in the club that he has the same ability Sharon has to force someone to look at them by making themselves more interesting to look at aka low level presence.
Visions- I think this is going to turn out to be a separate discipline along the Delphic Greek Oracle line, and he seems to have it, not just associated with Vision Girl aka Artemis which crazy Frank did. Those are visions sent by Artemis. The MC gets visions by touching things, walking in areas etc, so a type of psychometry (plus) He gets a lot of details plus his dead time dream talks with Artemis.
I am pretty confident in those disciplines above. 90%+ confidence level. As for what clan? I do not think he belongs to a WoD clone of a clan like the Salubri. I think Astrid is likely Tzimisce. Sharon demonstrates classic Ventrue. Markus and Merrick are Nos of course. The Archon is not a Ventrue. He does not have Dominate, and with his temper and abilities of speed and obvious strength, as well as social skills I have stated I think he is Brujah. Not true Brujah, Troile Brujah.
Fabian....... Tremere like. Koldunic like. Assamite like. Setite like, Giovanni like. So many clans have blood sorcery now. Tremere certainly have it down to a science, but he may be a morphed clan that truly is cousins with Artimis' childer. Cindy probably is a member of Calisto's clan, but further down the line.
Again, all of this has been discussed already, if folks will scroll back a few pages. We can rules lawyer this to death if needed. I will bank my 30ish years of playing and running WoD games with anyone. I think we will find that all of the vampires have something in common with one of the clans or bloodlines from WoD and then LikesBlondes will throw in differences, not only for fun, but to avert copyright infringement. As long as we say "like" and we are talking some intellectual property that is almost 30 years old, I think we are all safe. That, by the way is one very good indicator of why 5th edition which is current, and even V-20 are too new. I think we are almost certainly in 2nd edition which was the most prolific in content. And is sufficiently old that copyrights are probably about up if not already totally gone.
Have a great night
Peace
