Hideously ugly, you belong to the clan of Nosferatu. You keep to yourself because people don't want to be around your stench and ugliness. You are really the cursed of the damned. Usually Nosferatu in life are those who are too vain so must be punished for eternity for being horribly ugly. Perhaps you want people around, but no one wants you around. What Vampire Clan Do You Belong To? The Nosferatu Caine's childer are called "The Damned," and no vampires embody this more than do the wretches of Clan Nosferatu. While other vampires still look human and may travel in mortal society, Nosferatu are twisted and deformed by the curse of vampirism. To put it bluntly, the Embrace transforms them into hideous monsters. Unable to walk among humans, Nosferatu must dwell in subterranean sewers and catacombs. Other vampires revile Nosferatu, considering them disgusting and interacting with them only when they must. Because of this stigma, however, Nosferatu are survivors par excellence. Few creatures, mortal or vampire, know the city's back alleys and dark corners like the Nosferatu do. Additionally, Nosferatu have refined the crafts of sneaking and eavesdropping to fine arts; if anyone or anything has the latest dirt on mortal or vampiric society, it is the Nosferatu. Finally, millennia of shared deformity and abuse have fostered strong bonds among the monsters. Nosferatu forego the squabbling and feuds ubiquitous to the other clans, preferring to work in unison. You mess with one, you mess with 'em all - and that can get messy indeed. |

Which Vampire Clan Should You Belong To?
You aren't sure where you came from. Perhaps your sire did an embrace and run. Or maybe your sire was an outcast himself. Either way, your powers are unique and really don't belong to any clan...or maybe a little from each. Because you of these circumstances, you aren't really sure where you belong. You tend to wander and do a bit of soul searching in your eternal life. Maybe some day...you have a while after all. What Vampire Clan Do You Belong To? The Caitiff The clansless. Caitiffs, are a new aspect to the vampire's society. They don't have anyone to teach them Disciplines, and no one to tell them of the Traditions. This doesn't mean they don't know any Disciplines, they could very well make their own, but usually they figure out a few small tricks to a few Disciplines. Some may even group together every once in a while, but not likely. They prefer their freedom, and the will to do what they will. Caitiff are vampires with no clan to call their own. This usually happens because their sire despised them and left them to die. And the occasional victim of feeding gets lucky, and some how gets some of the vampires blood. They are also the rebellious ones, and some take leave of their sire and do as they will, most of the time moving to a new city or some where remote. Most of the other clans look upon the Caitiff as trash, weak blooded, no knowledge of who and what they are and leave them to them selves as long as they don't cause any trouble, and most defiantly don't break the Masquerade. |

Tarot - The Third
You are The Fool
The Fool is the card of infinite possibilities. The bag on the staff indicates that he has all he need to do or be anything he wants, he has only to stop and unpack. He is on his way to a brand new beginning. But the card carries a little bark of warning as well. Stop daydreaming and fantasising and watch your step, lest you fall and end up looking the fool.

EPIC von Conor Kostick
Da ich heute morgen das erstbeste Buch ergriff das rumlag, habe ich also EPIC als Lesestoff für die Bahn mitgenommen und zu lesen begonnen. Ich gestehe, wie ich auf die Arbeit gekommen bin und meine Arbeit heute erledigen konnte, ist mir schleierhaft. Ebensowenig wie ich weiß, ob es etwas Besonderes gab, während ich auf dem Nachhauseweg war. Selbst daheim musste ich mich zwingen mein Denken auf anderes zu lenken.
Sicher auf der Arbeit konnte ich nur in der Mittagspause lesen, doch als der Zeiger unwiderruflich Richtung Feierabend tickte und weiterrückte, begann es in meinen Fingerkuppen zu Kribbeln und auch meine Gedanken wanderten unablässig zu dem Buch. Und nun sitz ich hier am Rechner und versuche Herrin der aufgewühlten Gefühle zu werden, die es zurückgelassen hat.
Ich bin gespannt, kribbelig und habe zugleich das Gefühl wieder auf dem Boden der Tatsachen zu stehen, die Welt um mich wieder einmal mit anderen offeneren Augen wahrzunehmen anstatt sie einfach nur zu konsumieren. Erschreckend daran ist eigentlich, dass selbst ich mittlerweile der Ignoranz des Konsum verfallen scheine. Noch erschreckender ist, dass ich dieses Gefühl, welches das Buch in mir hinterlässt, den Tatendrang den es auslöst, selbst hervorrufen könnte, wenn ich nicht im Strom mitschwimmen würde. Ich müsste lediglich ich selbst sein und es wäre stetig da, diese Wachheit, diese Energie und diese Klarheit.
Aber wer bitte bin ich?
Mittlerweile weiß ich zumindest was ich nicht bin, die nette kleine von nebenan, die sich alles gefallen lässt. Nur weil ich diese Illusion noch nicht fallen habe lassen, heißt das nicht, dass ich nicht begreife was manche tun und versuchen zu bezwecken. Wahrscheinlich bin genauso durchschnittlich oder besonders wie jeder andere auch. Einzig das Ergebnis entscheidet sich wahrscheinlich. Ansonsten habe ich genauso viele Ängste und Probleme wie jeder andere auch.
Aber soweit sehen die Menschen nicht, sie wollen nicht soweit sehen. Sie möchten jemanden haben, der sie führt und ihnen den Weg weist, ihnen alles abnimmt, damit sie sich und ihre Bequemlichkeit feiern können. Was sie dabei völlig vergessen ist, dass sie daran ersticken und zugrunde gehen könnten.
Allein schon, dass ich mir wieder diese Gedanken mache und das Gefühl habe aus einem Fieberschlaf aufgeschreckt zu sein, ist es wert EPIC noch mal und noch mal zu lesen. Mir passt vieles nicht am System, aber Dinge die ich ändern kann, möchte ich ändern. Ich sage nicht, dass ich es tue, denn das wäre gelogen und nur Heuchelei. Aber ich möchte es und sofern es mir gelingt nicht wieder in meiner eigenen Bequemlichkeit zu versinken, bin ich sicher, dass ich auf dem richtigen Weg bin um diese Veränderungen auch auf den Weg zu bringen.
Vielleicht gelingt es mir ja im Kleinen, die Menschen dazu zu bringen, wieder selbst zu denken und selbst zu entscheiden was sie tun möchten. Auch wenn das nur ein Traum ist, glaube ich daran, dass es die Freiheit des Geistes gibt und es möglich sein muss, die Menschen über ihre eigene Existenz hinaus zu führen.
Leben ist soviel mehr als nur aufzustehen und sich durch den Tag zu bringen, ehe man irgendwann wieder schlafen geht.

What Tarot Card are You? - Second
You are The Moon
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.
The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.

What Tarot Card are You?
Ein durchaus interessantes Ergebnis...
You are The Devil
Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession
The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.
Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.
