Xiu/Stereotypes

Spheres
  Mortals:

"The human animals have so much to learn still..and yet ruin so much. Their time is running out. They need to learn, they need to embrace. They need to evolve. Or die."

  Vampires:

"I used to utterly hate them - especially after what happened to my mentor. And in Seattle. Perhaps they are different in Prospect, but I do not count on it."

  Mages:

"Some of us are *so* arrogant. *So* utterly aloof. Fools. It is the Goddess who allows us to weave the mystic threads. We are her children. Animals that got blessed by feeling the flow of Quintessence through the Tapestry. Animals that she closely observes as we act on what was given to us. We mustn't forget that it's her motherly hand that punishes us if we dare too much."

  The Technocracy:

"I hunt them. I stalk them in their concrete jungles. I observe their designs. I study their habits, and track their paths. I draw close, unseen. And then they die. And the Goddess smiles."

  Nephandi:

"It is still unfathomable to me that there exist some of us that are even worse than the Union. The Technocrats are obscene in their mindset and ruin of the world. They need to be fought and their grasp on it removed. But the *Nephandi* are just anti-life. I'd band together with a 100 Union folk to stop a single one of them."

  Garou:

"I respect them. The angry children of the Goddess are serving their purpose. But their utter arrogance towards even my primal kind makes me keep my distance. Fools."

  Fera:

"The non-wolves of their kind can be much more approachable. Still strange in their mindset, I find my interactions with them quite enjoyable."

Traditions
  Celestial Chorus:

"The old wounds still bleed. Their arrogance and viciousness of old days is still in the memories of the Verbena. The Witch Hunts will never be forgotten. These days? I doubt most of them are still that insane. Some have good teachings, but the stink and prejudice of extreme Christianity or Islam fundamentalism still reeks."

  Cult Of Ecstasy:

"I really like this lot. Strain, wreck yourself, push the envelope, feel. Music, pain, trances, fucking without regret. Just be prepared for the harsh side of life. This isn't a party. You're only half the animal you should be."

  Dreamspeakers:

"The Verbena's cousins. Wonderful people, from what I've heard. While we Verbena tend to life, to nature and the body, they tend to the spirits, the soul and what lies beyond normal eyes. Our mindsets do not match, but they are similiar, and we complete each other."

  Order Of Hermes:

"The arrogance of the Choristers, without the religion, but with a god complex. If I had to choose between them and the Choristers, I would probably wager that the choristers at least care about the planet more."

  Verbena:

"We've not forgotten our connection to creation. Our place in the circle of life. We get born. We live. We eat, sleep, teach our offspring, frolic and fuck. We bleed and die. Some of us teach ancient rites, others seek new ways. Some serve the Goddess directly, others worship her minor aspects. Some of us are close to humans, others go wild and savage. But no matter how different the groups of Verbena are..we all share our love for life. The love for creation. And our sense of duty to protect it, as Verbena taught Verbena since the first days of the Wyck, and as Lilith taught them."

  Euthanatos:

"I have very good experiences with this lot. Back in Seattle, my best friend was an Euthanatos, and here in Prospect those that have crossed my path seem to be competent, friendly, humble and filled with a feeling of duty. It's strange how the percieved group of 'Death Mages' always seem to have their life so well under control. If you wish to find somebody to depend on, go to them."

  Virtual Adepts:

"Welllll now. This lot is as chaotic as it can get. I met the whole range of hotshot yahoo brats, to introverted geniuses, to rebels with the weirdest causes. Give each a chance, cherry-pick, and don't suffer the fools."
