New bloodline

[nanaki]

I have a new bloodline That i would like to share and this is where people can make comments. I am going to give you a full description.

Bregador's

The Bregador's is a fairly old bloodline that started in the 1400's. They helped create the new wave of technology that started to form up. Crafting their way to modern technology. Since the times of when they first came to be, they new only of wanting to create new things mainly for protection. They knew that if they didn't than there would be a lot more Ashing of the vampires for where they were at. They found out gunpowder was flammable and new just how to work it to protect themselves. The frenzy was incited a few times but they got over it.
From then on it was all about creating new objects for protection so much so that they could draw a part of their own power into creating the objects. They could increase the potential of the weapon just by working on it. If something was broken they could fix it, if it was damaged they could repair it. This was turned into a power that they thought would be used for mass destruction.
They hid themselves away and only coming out for feeding. In about 1910 they came out again just before the world war started. They were found out by German's and new of their advancements in technology. They ridiculed them as witches but also as scientists. They were brought in to create new weapons for them. Against their will they made weapons to take on the French and British. They weapons were used for war. Most of them died but not before teaching Kine ways to advance their own technology. They fled to America to get away from all of this. They sire'd a few people to make up for their losses and made newer advancements. The Germans figured found out they went to America and wanted revenge but were waiting for the right time. When Hitler rose to Power he got the Japanese to attack without really telling them why.
After the second world war they spread apart to reach new ends and stay away from each other. When more of the same Bloodline were together their minds were linked and could mange greater feats. This way by spreading apart from each other they weren't as powerful. They stayed this way and tried to keep from staying in contact.

Parent Clan: Mekhet. Some Ventrue are sought to also be a part of this bloodline though not many.

Nickname: The scientist, The crafters.

Covenant: The Bregador's fall under the Ordo Dracul mostly because they are rather crafty. The Ordo believe that for the sake of knowledge they find the Bregador's craftiness very useful in creating new tools to help them with research and protection. The Invictus is the next likely to take them in for the power they can create and staying with the traditions of Kindred.
Very few are part of the Lancea Sanctum for they don't really view the section of beliefs so much as they help them protect what is sacred.

Appearance: Their appearance is pretty basic except they seem to take to much into their own abilities and upgrade themselves as well. Some of their own body parts are changed to mechanical parts. Their style of clothing is mostly of scientist.

Bloodline disciplines: Auspex, Celerity, Ledoximus, Obfuscate.

Weakness: In addition to the Mekhet's weakness, he must take a willpower roll to break the traditions of his Bloodline. He must not make any weapons for other people. If someone were to ask him to make a weapon for him and he fails his willpower roll, he must leave the room and refrain from talking to the subject(s) for the rest of the night.

So, this Bloodline is sort of like the Changling's Wizend's contract of Artifice?

Only not as drunk or intense, and for vampires

What's your idea bout the custom discipline?

[nanaki]

That will be given in a day or so as i come up with it. I am still working on the details of the 4^th and 5^th abilities of the discipline. But basically i can repair, fix, and modify weapons with the first three. I am thinking that the 4^th will be creating better weapons such as things like the TFV weapons and 5^th will be adding special abilities to the weapons. somewhat like the wizened yes but a bit different too.

My inquiries:

Analysis:
What counts as 'an object'? What information counts as 'general information' about the object? How large of an object can you analyze? If you could use this on a building you'd instantly have a blueprint, basically; and that merits debating.

Reparum:
Does it fully repair objects or does it repair points of Durability/Structure? Is there a size limit to objects which can be repaired? If an object is destroyed (zero durability/structure) can it be repaired with this power?

[Princess Lemon]

I think dot one should give information per successs

and dot 2 repairs durability/structure for dot/success

[elleliel]

Information per success is how we're running Israphel's contract with Knowledge, and it's working out fairly well.

Prevents it from being insane. "lololol one success I know everything forever."

Also for Analysis O, you state in the description that you'll know it for a week. Then in exceptional success, know indefinitely. Who would want to retain information indefinitely about this stuff. Mundane way to use up your brain capacity. May want to shift that to "retain for a month". This way, after a few years of this, you aren't bogged down by the 71 pistols you know about forever now.

the whole thing with reparum is it has to be a form of technology. so anything from swords to guns can't be bigger than like a car unless it is like an airplane but nothing like a building. a building is not technology unless it is like a smart house. but with the building aspect it could be things inside the building like the security system or computer detail but not the schematics. when something has gone to zero structure/durability it can't be repaired no matter what. its like taking a gun disentegrating it and trying to put it back together. not even matter 5 mages can do that. with the knowledge i am changing it to 1 piece per success. it is questions i ask. on the side note of this for fluff aspect i can get the schematics of something(not building or sewer systems) of like a gun or computer or car. in my mind it is like take the gun / whatever it may be, and creating a 3D image of it that i can move around, zoom, strip, etc. (kinda like iron man 2). any other questions?
