− | + | Elder: A vampire who has experienced at least three or more centuries of unlife. | |
The term '''Elder''' is used in both '''[[Vampire: The Masquerade]]''' and '''[[Vampire: The Requiem]]''', to denote the status of a [[vampire]] who has experienced at least 300 years of unlife. While there is no strict definition, one normally must be at least a century or two old and far removed from their mortal past to qualify. The choices and sacrifices they have made in order to survive so long instills a degree of amorality and slow caution; it is not unusual for elders to design plans that take decades or centuries before coming to fruition. Such beings are often cold, if not monstrous, and focused completely on their own interests and well-being, though a rare few struggle to maintain their human sentiments. | The term '''Elder''' is used in both '''[[Vampire: The Masquerade]]''' and '''[[Vampire: The Requiem]]''', to denote the status of a [[vampire]] who has experienced at least 300 years of unlife.
