Sabbat culture revolves heavily around the twin principles of loyalty and freedom. Vampires, as superior beings, are free to do as they please, but they must also remain true to the Sabbat, lest their freedom be jeopardized by the machinations of the elders. Above all, the Sabbat refuses to be placed under the yoke of the Antediluvians; many of the sect's schemes involve means of frustrating, or at least surviving, Gehenna. The sect's two founding clans, the Lasombra and Tzimisce, are said to have diablerized and destroyed their progenitors, and the other Sabbat vampires follow their lead, hoping that they may one night do the same.

Internal rivalries, power plays and ancient vendettas rend the sect from within, however, and the Sabbat often takes two steps back for every three it takes forward. The sect has no true, all-encompassing guidance; it is a hydra, doubling back to bite itself and its foes even as it gains in membership and influence.

Sabbat vampires themselves, with the exception of the Lasombra and Tzimisce shepherds of the sect, mockingly claim to be "anti-clans," or antitribu, of their parent clans. Some Sabbat vampires openly involve themselves in Satanism, paganism or other deviant faiths to spite the propriety of those who stand against them. Perversion and brutality are the Sabbat's tools, and the sect uses them with merciless cunning. The nucleus of the Sabbat's organization is the "pack", a close confederation of vampires nominally united toward a single goal. Sabbat packs may be nomadic, traveling from city to city leaving death and fire in their wakes, or they may settle in one location on a permanent basis. Because vampires are primarily solitary predators, forcing themselves into each other's company for prolonged periods of time certainly takes its toll on the individual Kindred who make up the packs.

=Packs=
 +
 
 +
Characters are expected to enter as part of packs. A pack consists of '''at least three Sabbat'''. When you apply, please include the name of your pack in the application - when there are '''at least three Sabbat''' in the pack ready for approval, you can all hit the grid together.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
This applies to older characters as well. If your older Sabbat wants to rejoin, put in a request for this, and include the name of your prospective pack.
  
Name: Vasile Oprescu <br />
 
Sex: Male <br />
 
Nature: Architect <br />
 
Demeanor: Bravo <br />
 
Clan: Tzimisce <br />

The Sabbat on City of Hope MUSH is currently very limited. That means any strange clans, or concepts, are going to be extremely noticeable. We are trying to populate the Sabbat with actual Sabbat, so please keep the following in mind.
  
Name: Francisco Manuel Castelar y Alonso <br />
 
Sex: Male <br />
 
Nature: Director <br />
 
Demeanor: Predator <br />
 
Clan: Lasombra <br />
 
  
==Templar==
+
- If you are following a Path or Road which is not Humanity, or from the Guide to the Sabbat - it will likely not be approved.<br>
 +
- If you want to play something that has the whiff of an infiltrator - it will likely not be approved.<br>
 +
- If you are apply to play something which is a distinct, tiny minority of a clan, far outside the geographical area it's associated with - it will likely not be approved.<br>
  
Name: Slim Jim <br />
 
Sex: Male? <br />
 
Nature: Conniver <br />
 
Demeanor: Rogue <br />
 
Clan: Nosferatu Antitribu  <br />

If you want to play Sabbat? '''Play Sabbat'''. If your concept and fun rely on having some tiny cross-section of powers and strangeness, consider carefully whether you are trying to play a member of the Sword of Caine, or just want to get something tasty. The Sabbat in City of Hope are a small sect, struggling to put down roots. This gives opportunities and chances you would simply not usually possess. '''Take them.''' -->

<u>'''What the levels mean''' as seen on page ?? </u><br>
 
Vinculum Ratings <br />
 
10 You will readily give your life – or
 
take the life of another – for the
 
individual. <br />
 
9 You will do practically anything for
 
the individual, including putting
 
yourself in great danger. <br />
 
8 You will gladly offer resources or
 
influential assistance to the
 
individual. <br />
 
7 You may put yourself at moderate
 
risk of harm for the individual and,
 
depending on your code of ethics,
 
may kill for him. <br />
 
6 You feel strongly for the individual
 
and help him even if it inconveniences
 
you. You will gladly fight
 
for the individual. <br />
 
5 You respect the individual and help
 
him out as long as it’s no huge risk
 
or bother. <br />
 
4 You will aid the individual as long as
 
it doesn’t involve risk or anything
 
out of your way. <br />
 
3 You are loyal to the individual as
 
long as that loyalty doesn’t interfere
 
with your own designs. <br />
 
2 You have a minor sense of kinship
 
toward the individual, but you’re
 
not going to go out of your way to
 
help him unless something’s in it
 
for you. <br />
 
1 Fuck ‘em. This isn’t necessarily
 
hostility, but you don’t care about
 
this person on a Vinculum level,
 
though you may on a personal level.
 
  
Note: It bears mention that, like the emotions engendered
+
{|
by blood bonds, these feelings are artificial, as

they are created through ingestion of blood. It is quite

Sabbat-disk.png
"Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven!"
-John Milton, Paradise Lost
"Don't teach the wolf to live like a lamb."

Sabbat culture revolves heavily around the twin principles of loyalty and freedom. Vampires, as superior beings, are free to do as they please, but they must also remain true to the Sabbat, lest their freedom be jeopardized by the machinations of the elders. Above all, the Sabbat refuses to be placed under the yoke of the Antediluvians; many of the sect's schemes involve means of frustrating, or at least surviving, Gehenna. The sect's two founding clans, the Lasombra and Tzimisce, are said to have diablerized and destroyed their progenitors, and the other Sabbat vampires follow their lead, hoping that they may one night do the same.

Internal rivalries, power plays and ancient vendettas rend the sect from within, however, and the Sabbat often takes two steps back for every three it takes forward. The sect has no true, all-encompassing guidance; it is a hydra, doubling back to bite itself and its foes even as it gains in membership and influence.

Sabbat vampires themselves, with the exception of the Lasombra and Tzimisce shepherds of the sect, mockingly claim to be "anti-clans," or antitribu, of their parent clans. Some Sabbat vampires openly involve themselves in Satanism, paganism or other deviant faiths to spite the propriety of those who stand against them. Perversion and brutality are the Sabbat's tools, and the sect uses them with merciless cunning. The nucleus of the Sabbat's organization is the "pack", a close confederation of vampires nominally united toward a single goal. Sabbat packs may be nomadic, traveling from city to city leaving death and fire in their wakes, or they may settle in one location on a permanent basis. Because vampires are primarily solitary predators, forcing themselves into each other's company for prolonged periods of time certainly takes its toll on the individual Kindred who make up the packs.
