Yeah yeah..Toreador. Well they are called many things such as, degenerates, artists, poseurs and hedonists. These names give the clan disservice. You see, depending on an individuals mood, Toreador are alternately elegant and flamboyant, brilliant and ludicrous, visionary and dissipated. The only real truism that 'can' be applied is it's members' aesthetic zeal. So whatever a toreador does, they do with passion, whatever a toreador is, they do with passion.

Time is to them is savoring the last drops of wine in your glass it must be cherished. Many Toreadors were artists in their mortal life, many more have spent frustrating lifetimes producing laughable works of art. Occasionally, a highly gifted mortal are embraced into the clan, to preserve their talent for all of eternity. So in result, the clan has induced some of societies greatest artist.

Of all the clans this one is most connected to the mortal world, more in danger of being caught by them too. While other see mortals as only pawns and food, the Toreador glide gracefully and effortlessly through the society of the Canaille, tasting the delights of each age. So they are the most likely to fall in love with mortals, and they surround themselves with the best, most elegant and most luxurious things-and people-that the world has to offer. You see they demand the best of the best.

Toreadors are committed to the Camarilla and share the Ventrue's love for high society, but not for the tedium of actually running things. Toreadors know that their place is to captivate and inspire.

Nickname: Degenerates

Sect: Most Toreador follow the Camarilla, as only the august organization promotes "culture" and allows the toreador to live among the mortals they so favor.

Appearance: They embrace out of passion as much as any other reason; accordingly, many Toreador are Creatures of surpassing beauty. Of all Kindred, Toreador are the most in tune with the latest human fashion and trends.

Haven: They are perfectionists and artist, so imagine what their home looks like sheesh. Mostly large home where they can entertain many guests and display their work.

Background: Mainly Sire, the lonely, tortured artists to debauched jet setters. Some are just turned for their beauty or personal style. But either way the sire is turning them to preserve whatever they have to offer.

Clan Disciplines: Auspex, Celerity, Presence

Weaknesses: Toreador are prematurely attuned to the aesthetic and beautiful, but this sensitivity can prove dangerous. When a Toreador views, hears or even smells something that is truly beautiful-a person, a painting, a song, a particularly lovely sunrise-they will sit there with this overwhelming beauty until the end of time or death, unless peeled away or have high self-control.

Quote: Oh, yes, isn't she exquisite? Yes, she's my newest find-I'm her muse, the sweet little creature. Imagine! And what of-oh,Thomas? Why, I could hardly say-after all, he has his "15 minutes," as they say, but it just wasn't going to last, and it all became so very tedious, so I had to say adieu. Suicide? Really? Silly boy-he should thank me, then, that I didn't give him the Embrace. It would have made things so difficult, after all….
