Nelapsi



'''“Gluttonous and horrifying hunger defines the Locusts, and makes them a nightmare and threat to even elder Kindred. That this line is largely confined to eastern Europe is cold consolation to vampires who have heard whispers of its legend.”

The Nelapsi are a bloodline of the Daeva clan, hailing from eastern Europe. A small brood of Nelapsi can devastate a lightly populated area like locusts, and consequently are very rare, especially outside of eastern Europe.

Along with the Disciplines of their parent clan, Nelapsi also possess an affinity for the Nosferatu Discipline of Nightmare. They use their potent combination of Majesty and Nightmare to inspire both terror and awe in their enemies.

The Nelapsi are a dysfunctional family. There are tight bounds between Sire and Childe. Long after other Sires have released their childer, the Nelapsi maintain ties and intrude into their childer's life. The Nelapsi are ruled by their tremendous hunger. Often they disguise their true bloodline and live on the outskirts of kindred society to avoid notice. The Nelapsi seek to rule through fear and love. They haunt an area, sowing confusion and fear, and draw in their victims by appearing as the calm rock in the sea of chaos.
