Their strategy of change is based on psychological warfare, as Supreme Commander Nikolai Alexander explains:

You cannot get rid of everyone that gets into your way, and even if you could, that wouldn't be smart. No, it's best to beat your enemy without firing a single shot. This means you have to beat him with legal or at least semi-legal means. [. . .] Through demoralisation, subversion and infiltration. This means you need to undermine the morale of your opponent by spreading defeatism. For example, by saying this doesn't make any sense, this doesn't lead anywhere, just leave it. Ideally, in combination with smear, for instance by claiming that you work for the enemy. Then of course denigration, so that everything will be questioned, picked to pieces and decried. You sow discontent, impatience and doubt about the leadership. The word for this assault tactic is 'constructive criticism', a concept of the Frankfurt School. Then you try to pit members against one another, stir up disputes, create coteries, promote traitors and expel loyalists. Install levers to influence everything in your interest, outsource relevant structures, etc. And of course, spying, disinformation, lies, smear – the entire set of approaches. These are the tactics and mechanisms to sabotage and destroy a movement.

He is..... complete. Oh my god that was SO much work but honestly so worth it for the natural fur variation effect. I've once again mucked up the face so he's got a weird little smirk BUT this time around I'm finally happy with the paws, so clearly I'm learning things :] I also understuffed him just a bit, I think it kept him from being quite as bowlegged as the first one.

bonus: you vs the guy she tells you not to worry about

Virgil Lawrence | He/Him | 212 Years Old | Ex-Sabbat Brujah Vampire

Session/Image Context below:

finally got his coterie mate's crazy tremere ex dead and gone, and then had to listen to a baby sabbat brujah's entire life and family collapse around her. also he got a new knife for free (by being stabbed)!

PoV you're the Boston Prince (who totally deserved this) and have been in office 100 years after your predecessor was also killed by being thrown off a building by the same cowboy.

PoV you're a coterie member who pissed off the already EXTREMELY on edge and furious brujah by rebuking his attempts to suicide bait you and he just drew his 10+ pool revolver.

damn hard to stay keeping it together when you see and hear the ghosts of your kindred loved ones all around you all the time and in the words spoken by those around you, without anyone meaning to do it

tag the vtm oc who does not get along well with their coterie!

Exiled from their commune and left to die isolated in the cold and barren lands of Iceland, Enir is embraced by a Gangrel and learns that the ecstasy of eating one’s own kind is only more addicting in their unlife. The act of diablerie puts a target on their back, and with two other cannibalistic kindred, they are on the run from those who want to destroy this reclusive trio of kine-eaters.

i find it so funny the other two in the coterie commit diablerie because it lowers their generation and enir is just “yummy :3”
