     Angel_Wrath01 here.  I just want to thank our administrator for letting me post this here.  I can't believe how weird the past day was.  As some of you may know, I've been looking into the increased bloodsucker activity, and wow, I can't believe what I've stumbled across.  Let me start at the beginning.
     About three weeks ago, a couple of my buds went looking into the weird occurances over on Lockyr Drive.  You know the ones; that there were things that were pulling swords on each other, and talked to each other really calm and scary-like.  I hear that there was even one that managed to jump over a building!
    As most of you know, I'm pretty skeptical when it comes to matters such as this, so I just snooped around and checked out the area and the circumstances surrounding the event.  Well, no big surprise, it seems as though all of this occured at a huge party of street toughts.  This immediately started me thinking that this whole thing was a great big farce and not worth my time.  Well, I talked to the owner of the trashed home, and things seemed....out of place.  It was like the guy was reciting a story that he'd said way too many times. 
     Anyhow, I used a few of the strongarm tactics that Headcrusher03 suggested in one of his more recent posts, and low and behold, the guy fought back (told you that people wouldn't just crumple when when they were used).  I was surprised by the strength of his punch; it was like getting hit by a car.  He knocked me back a few feet and continued to come at me.
     I crawled away, making him think that I was scared ('course I was, but I controlled it like Headcrusher03 said we should).  He predictably continued to come towards me, and then I tripped him, making him fall on his fat ass.  I thought that I heard something crack when he hit the sidewalk.  Standing, it was clear that his ankle had bent in a way it wasn't supposed to; I could see the ivory white bone.
    Kinda concerned that an innocent might have been hurt, I approached, preparing to give first-aid.  He just smiled after getting over the initial pain of breaking his joint, and then the ankle healed over before my eyes. 
    Immediately I activated the Eye, and saw that he had darkened veins; he was actually a minion of a bloodsucker!  I whipped out my can of mace and sprayed him, and he fell back, gasping.  Then I kicked him in the jimmies and he passed out, it wasn't until I'd brought him home that I learned the good stuff.  And I'm not talking about the party and its events. 
     It turns out that he actually knws a lot about vampire politics and how they're organized.  He mentioned that they have some kind of a caste system, and that the castes are sub-divided into family clans, not unlike feudel Japan's. 
     He knows of one other caste, though he's hesitant to say its name, and it is come kind of ninja or samurai caste or something.  I can't wait to learn more.  I'll post when he's explained the family unit a little better.

     I just wanted to post this quick to let you know that I'm still alive.  I've been on the run ever since I met that kid.  He and I have been getting along pretty well, and he's divulged a lot about who's chasing us and why. 
     Apparently, Ryan's master wants him back.  This could be for a couple reasons I'm told, but primarily because Ryan was being considered fo the "Embrace."  I've learned that this term refers to the creation of a vampire.
     His domitor, a leading member of the local "Brujah" is a well known rebel.  She apparently is the prime opponent to the vampire in control over the others.  Ryan may not know as much about vampire politics as I had initially thought.  He does know of one other house.  House Ventrue is apparently at war with House Brujah.  The two have been at odds because fo some event that happened in history, though Ryan doesn't know what that event was.
     House Ventrue is apparently the exact opposite of House Brujah.  The Ventrue are the aristocrats of the race.  They order the other clans about because they as a whole believe that their House is superior to all others.  They also represent the status quo, and think that radicals should be purged from the roosters of the vampires.
     The Brujah, in contrast, are the exact opposite of this.  Many of their members belive that anarchy is the best form of government, and almost all of them are exotic in their beliefs.  Very few, if any, are members of the status quo.  This threatens the Ventrue, and consequently they do everything in their power to suppress the idealogical might of the Brujah.
     Anyhow, my time on this computer is almost up.  I'll post as soon as I think I can do so without bringing harm to myself or Ryan.

     I need help.  Last night a bunch of vampires came after Ryan and me.  Normally I would be able to run away without too much trouble, but Ryan tried to betray me at the same time.  I had hoped that I would be able to redeem him; I had to incapacitate him for his own good.
     Prior to their attack I learned that a group of House Gangrel's troops were coming to deal with us.  Ryan told me after talking to some of his contacts in the vampiric society, if it is possible for such demons to have societies as we recongnize them...
     These creatures are obvious once you know what to look for.  They have the ability to commune with animals and nature, and hide themselves in plain site.  A side effect of their love of nature, however, is obvious animal features.  Apparently, when they get mad they grow features similar to the animals that they are around the most.  So, if you see a man with cat eyes, he's probably a member of House Gangrel.

     To help some of our newer members I've compiled all of Angel_Wrath's posts.....I hope that it illumates younger members of our field about the bloodsuckers of this city  and teaches them not to delve too deeply in "Kindred" politics.......Angel_Wrath01 is an example of what happens when you do.
