WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION MAGAZINE : FEBRUARY 1999

PRIVATE EYE 

A Goth Night on the Town With The Brood

By Kevin Kelly

Transcript Below!!!

Federation cameras had the opportunity recently to accompany The Brood to some of their favorite hangouts. We learned that part of the Gothic lifestyle is the nightly pursuit of entertainment in the dark, sometimes seedy  world of the underground club scene. By day, they are abandoned buildings, but at nightfall the structures come alive with pulsating techno music and a dizzying display of lights. The wild gyrations of the club goers blend with the sounds to create a hypnotic state– a sensory overload.

This is an inside look at Gangrel, Edge and Christian. It’s the Brood like you have never seen them before!

The Brood,1998

[blowflyfag]

Ok so like I said earlier I wanna go on a ramble about how Gangrel is super cool if you know the rules of Vampire the Masquerade. And I’m doing that now so sit down. This will be a bit of a longer ramble gulp.

Ok so. First things first! What is Vampire the Masquerade you may be asking? Well. Vampire the Masquerade is a table top rpg! Focusing on your life as a vampire in a neo gothic world where you main priority is to protect the Masquerade and make it to the next night.

Now you maybe be asking. Masquerade? What is that!? Well the Masquerade in VTM is an act every vampire plays to keep their secret world of vampires hidden. Now not all Vampires Believe in the art of protecting the Masquerade and this is the first talking point I was to bring up. Btw you’re all gonna learn a lot of Vampire terminology so get your notebooks ready.

1. Gangrel and the Sabbat.

Sabbat? What’s a sabbat? In VTM there’s what you can consider. Political beliefs, Camarilla, Anarch, and Sabbat. I won’t be going into the other two but the major thing between Anarch and Camarilla is they believe in upholding the masquerade, which is the idea that you should keep being a vampire hidden from mortal society, while the Sabbat does not. One of the Sabbat’s core beliefs is that they are monsters. And they should be proud of it and show it off.

Now does that sound like a certain vampire we know? If Gangrel was trying to keep secret that his character was a vampire that would be a different story. However how he proudly gloats it with the blood and sharp fangs he proudly shows off. He feels like a Sabbat vampire! There’s also a brutality with the way he fights that can be associated with the Sabbat.

2. The name.

Gangrel is the name of a clan in VTM. Clans are the types of Vampires you can become once you are embraced (turned into a vampire.) and there are many to choose from.

Many people once turned into Vampires will change their names to leave their old lives behind. Some Vampires have lived hundreds of lives depending on how long they’ve been alive.

Also this is a side point but for Gangrel to be named Gangrel they have to get the approval of White Wolf (the people at the time who were Producing and writing VTM books and such.) so we can assume these guys had base knowledge of the character they were making.

3. The Brood.

In VTM games, the group you play with is your Cotiere. A cotiere is a group of vampires that you work with, associate with, are friends with, etc. in a way. While I have personal Headcannons for what type of Vampires Christian and Edge could be. (Personally I think Christian is a Tremere and Edge is a Lasombra. But I’m willing to hear others opinions!!!) I don’t know if I’d call the brood a group of friends, but they definitely work together to incite fear into the federation. HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN THE BLOODBATH SHIT THEY DO ITS METAL AND ITS SO COOL THEY DO IT TOGETHER

4. Ok this might be a reach- The intro music.

Ok so Gangrel and the Brood’s entrance theme starts with whispers. Now what the hell could this relate to huh? Well in the 2004 video game Vampire: The Masquerade- Bloodlines. (Considered to be one of the best RPGs of all time you should all play it if you have a chance twirls hair.) the player clan Malkavian hear similar whispers. Malkavian’s vampirc curse is their… madness. While the representation in Bloodlines can be considered extremely harmful to people with mental illness, there have been many strides to have better and more accurate representation for players today. It’s just.. a bad product of the time. However I’m not here to talk about Bloodlines I’m here to talk about GANGREL BABY!

Anyways the whispering used for their intro theme and the whispering in bloodlines is very similar IMO and it once again relates Gangrel to VTM Lore

5. Iconography and signs

Gangrel and the Brood had a repeating sign of the Ankh. Which is heavily associate with VTM. The Camirilla, Sabbat, and Anarchs have their own reductions of the ankh that they use, and on Christian and Edge’s pants we can see the ankh being used. While not every vampire in VTM uses these symbols many do to communicate that they are kindred without having to outright say it. Think of it almost like a hanky code of sorts!

6. Fire.

Fire in VTM lore. Is the biggest Killer for Vampires. If a flame gets just to close you’re done for. Final Death. What I like to see and use in my interpretation of VTM is Fire with power. The ability to have something so deadly close to you and not be worried what so ever is such a telling piece of story IMO.

Now how does Gangrel come down to the ring? He comes up surrounded by a ring of fire without worry on his face. In Fact he’s grinning. Laughing. He’s so close to something that could kill him a second time. And he’s not worried at all. It's such a Show off way of power to other vampires, and people who know how fire is with vampires.

7. Literally just this ad in a edition of the WWF magazine

What’s next to him is the first like guide/rule book for Vampire the Masquerade.

In conclusion. Gangrel is sooo much cooler if you know VTM lore and rules and it’s so cool as a fan of both to try and piece together what vampire stuff Gangrel does/ participates in. Like there’s so much cool Vampire lore and events that happen that’s so fun to think about!

I have my own personal ideas of Gangrel’s like. Lore or whatever that I would be willing to go into if people wanna hear it but. For now this is my Ted talk. :3
