VampireTEM

Easy one this time...Vampires who will follow this Path will always be Tzimisce , since the discipline of Viscessitude is required to initiate it, and because it's so horrific
and requires specific skills, it's never practiced by any other clan.

Okay, Tell me what the Metamorphosis Path is all about...

Well let me explain the universe from a logical Tzimisce point of view. We have plant life, which is is beneath animal life, we have animal life
which is beneath human life...we have human life, which is beneath kindred life, and what about kindred life...hmmmm what comes after that...I
wonder?

The basic idea of it, is that the Tzimisce think that there is a state above being kindred which can be attained by altering one's physical state. A
vampire on this path will not only believe this ideal, but will experiment on himself and others, and do ANYTHING to attain it. The implications
of this ideal can make for some very very nasty and graphic scenarios- not pleasent...not pretty..and not human in the slightest.

Metamorphosis is every Tzimisce's own personal journey, since the sharing of information is not tolerated by the clan.

Imagine the idea of spiritual transcendence, the Egyptian life after death thing, and you have an idea of how the Tzimisce justify the heinous and
brutal acts that they perpetuate upon others in the pursuit of Metamorphosis. A Tzimisce will literally alter himself or anyone or anything else to
get to that ideal state of evolution- which is a truly terrifying suggestion.

Tell me the ethics....

Learn fully the nature of Life and Death of all things.
Never consort with mortals, they are lower on the food chain- you are as far above them, as you are above a herd animal .
Never share knowledge with another -that you have learned, it is too valuable a commodity to lend to those who are flawed.
Make your experience extensive, do not allow your Beast to direct your thinking.
Alter and Augment your body frequently, a change of flesh may bring a change of soul.
Never heed the failings, needs or wants of another, it will distract you from the intellectual pursuit of Metamorphosis.
SO what does a vampire on a Path of Metamorphosis do of a night?

They experiment, alter others and themselves. When you are playing a character on this Path the main thing you should bear in mind, that this
vampire has NO understanding WHATSOEVER of humanity. Like the Borg, it is irrelevant- resistance is futile, everything is irrelevant, except
evolving and changing- to reach the state of perfection that lies beyond the realms of kindred knowledge.
