In order to decide whether unlife as a Toreador would suit your vampire character, consider the following questions and decide how they apply to your particular Childe of Caine. Are you a painter, sculptor, writer, musician, actor, or other type of self-proclaimed artist? Do you pretend to be or wish you were a painter, sculptor, writer, musician, actor, or other type of self-proclaimed artist? Do you consider yourself a tortured artist? How about a misunderstood genius? Do you have an Appearance of four or higher? Is your herd comprised of art students, struggling actors, and club-goers? Do you have a Fame of three or more? Do you hang out in coffeeshops reading poetry? Are most of your clothes stained with paint or spattered with clay? Are you in a band? Do you like to host extravagant parties? Do you like to attend extravagant parties? Does everybody know you at the local nightclubs? Do you own a nightclub, gallery, trendy boutique, coffeehouse, or fashionable restaurant? Do you love art gallery openings for the chance to schmooze and be seen? Do you love art gallery openings for the art? Does it take you at least an hour to get dressed in the evening? Do you own three or more closets worth of clothes? Do you design your own clothes? Do the sales girls at the Nordstrom make-up counter know you by name? Do the names Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh, and Rembrant mean a lot to you? What about Coleridge, Shelley, Byron, and Baudelaire? Or Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi, and Gershwin? Or at least Gaultier, Mizrahi, Lagerfield, LaCoix, and Chanel? Perhaps LeBon, Rhodes, Gahan, Gore (not Al), or Tennant? Were you a regular at Andy Warhol's Factory? Do you speak French? Have you visited Paris three or more times? Are you fabulously wealthy (Resources of three, minimum)? Do you redecorate your home frequently? Is Z Gallerie one of your favorite shops? If you use a computer, did you get a Macintosh because its more aesthetically pleasing? If you're online, do you like the web because of the graphics? Do you read Architectural Digest, Art News, Antiques Quarterly, Vogue, or Musician magazines regularly? Are seduction and manipulation hobbies of yours? Have you had more lovers than you can count? Is your favorite t.v. show Absolutely Fabulous? Is your life a lot like Absolutely Fabulous? If the answer to at least half of these questions is "yes," then your vampire character has the makings of a fine Toreador. Come, revel with the Clan of the Rose! -- By Trystan L.
