Kindred Ties
1 Prestigous Regnant - As per LdG (pg.63) Your Regnant has great status in the Sect, and this has afforded you a great honour. You are treated respectfully by most ghouls - or not. So long as your Regnant is around socially you are in the free and clear. And if something were to happen to you, you can be sure that your Regnant would take care of you - or avenge you.

3 Benevolent Domitor - As per Ghouls: Fatal Addiction (pg. 83) - For whatever reason, your Regnant is quite fond of you. Your Regnant treats you with some amount of compassion and does not recklessly endanger your life. Of course she still expects you to give you life for hers if need be, but until that night, the two of you are something akin to friends.

Most Physical Merits can only be purchased at character creation.
1 Damned Visage - As per LdG (pg. 64) You have the abilityy to appear as one of the undead. You can slow your heart rate to where it is almost indiscernible.

Flaws

Psychological
2 Squeamish - As per LdG (pg. 60) You must spend a Willlpower trait whenever you feed from your Regnant. You must win a Static test when faced with the reality of feeding. If you lose, you may stay but you are down 2 Physical traits (which may be replenished by Willpower). You also gain the negative trait: Witless.

2 Swept Away - As per LdG (pg. 61) You are caught up inn the romance of vampirism so deeply that you blind yourself to the whole nature of your relationship to your Regnant. You are down 2 traits on all Dominate challenges from your Regnant.

3 Ostentatious Toady - As per LdG (pg. 60) You constantly attempt to impress your Regnant at all costs. You must spend a Willpower trait not to do something particularly dangerous.

3 Phobia: Severe - As per LotH (pg.92) You are deathly afraaid of something. The sight of it or being within its presence will paralyze you with fear, reducing you to low sobs or howling fits until it is taken away. The trauma of this fear is such that taking action is impossible unless you win a Static Willpower challenge versus
3 traits. Even if successful you are considered down 2 Willpower traits for the duration of the scene.
 
 

Mental
2 Insomnia - As per LdG (pg. 61) You start every nighht at full traits but halfway through the night all traits are lowered by one due to lack of sleep.

1 Offensive to Animals - As per LotH (pg. 92) You are 1 trait down on challenges with animals as they do not like you.

3 Clan Weakness - As per LdG. (pg. 63) You take on the claan weakness of the Regnant you are bound to. List by clan name, not by weakness. Clan must be appropriate to the character's history. Should you change Regnants, you will retain your initial Regnant’s clan flaw, as well as adopting your new Regnant’s clan flaw. You will add another clan disadvantage every time you change Regnant clans.

3 Wyrm-Tainted - As per LotH (pg. 93) For some reason youu stink of the Wyrm. Lupines can sense this and will react in kind. You are down 1 trait in any Stealth challenge against a Werewolf. This flaw cannot be removed by the Rite of Cleansing.
 
 

Kindred Ties
3 Domitor Pariah - As per Ghouls: Fatal Addiction (pg. 84) - You are Bound to a vampire who, for reasons unknown to you, is shunned or hated amongst the Kindred of the Chronicle. Without Kindred allies your Ghoul must rely on other ghouls and humans to get by. You will find your night filled with added responsibilities to your Regnant as well as many deceptions involving the other Kindred, for if they discover who you work for your life may be in danger.

The mechanic of this flaw states that you do not know why your master is so despised or what the cause of the Kindred’s antipathy toward yourself is. In fact, you might not even know that your beloved liege is hated at all. (ST discretion)
