Bonus Attribute Dot: Dexterity or Strength
Clan Disciplines: Celerity, Obfuscate, Quietus (Cruscitus)
Branch Weakness: Assamite warriors always carry diablerie streaks, and a supernatural sense of unease that radiates to cainites of other clans. Mundane social rolls they make with vampires of clans or bloodlines other than Assamite have rolls of one's subtract from their successes and 10's do not explode.
Political Divisions
Independant Assamites
Ur'Shulgi childe of Haqim has awoken, and he is cleaning house. All those loyal to Law-Keeper have been called to Alamut. All debased activities of contract assassinations have stopped and clan is reorganizing. Independant Assamites are not playable for this reason.
Camarilla Assamites
Before the awakening of Ur'Shulgi there was no such thing as Camarilla Assamites. But things have changed. Ur'Shulgi made a demand of his clan that many could not abide by, namely that they forsake their islamic faith and worship only Haqim. Under the leadership of Al-Ashrad those members of the clan who follow Allah and his one true prophet fled to the Camarilla. Mostly this number is made up of Viziers and Warriors, but there is some Sorcerers too.
Sabbat Assamites
The Assamites of the sabbat originally defected because they would rather betray their clan than submit to the Tremere. This was great for the sabbat, at that point in time at least. The problem was that these Assamites didn't defect because of any hated for their clan founder, they defected because of a hated for the tremere. So when Ur'Shulgi wakes up in the modern night and breaks the tremere curse with but a thought it sends a wake up call. Many Sabbat Assamites defect back to Alamut, or, if they are faithful, defect to their Muslim brothers in the Camarilla. Sabbat Assamites are either those who have truly let the sabbats message of fighting the antediluvians into their hearts, or are those who are too heavily viniculumed to leave.
Sabbat Assamites are a minority and they have a hard uphill battle. Most of the sect derides them because of their brothers betrayal. By and large most Sabbat Assamites are Warriors.
White Wolf Wiki Page: Clan Assamite
The Assamite clan is actually three separate clans as divided by Haqim in the old days, much as Saulot divided his clan into three. This page won't go into detail on clan history and lore as that can be read elsewhere, but it will touch on curses and the current state of the clan.
Assamites of all three branches suffer from some overall weakness that affects their entire clan.
-Assamites suffer from a darkening of their skin. This isn't apparent directly after the embrace, but after a century or so they will appear dusky, and get darker and darker until jet black. This complexion is difficult to hide even with Magic or Disciplines.
-All assamites feel a lesser version of the curse Caine put upon Haqim, as if their founder is somehow shielding or redirecting the worst of his curse from his lineage. They have a compulsion for judgement and justice, with some feeling Haqims obsession much stronger than others.
Assamite Sorcerers
Bonus Attribute Dot: Intelligence or Resolve
Clan Disciplines: Auspex, Obfuscate, Thaumaturgy
Branch Weakness: Sorcerers have a difficult time hiding their arcane nature. Their auras are easier to read by mystical means and attempts to notice obfuscated sorcerers act as if the aggressors dots in auspex are one higher.
Assamite Viziers
Bonus Attribute Dot: Presence or Wits
Clan Disciplines: Auspex, Majesty, Quietus (Hematus)
Branch Weakness: Assamite viziers are rigorous to a fault. Each character has an obsession with her highest intellectual or creative Ability, which acts as a derangement. While the derangement is active, the character’s aura glows in a way as to provide hints to the vizier’s true Nature, as well as the object of her obsession, visible to Auspex users.
