Movements
“Nobody survives alone. It’s a fact. Between the rest of the damned vying for power between ourselves, fighting over scraps of control like stray dogs; and the inquisitions breathing down the neck of every lick in the country, it’s damn-near impossible to make it through one night on your own, let alone an eternity of them.
So, faced with this sorry reality, what are we to do? It’s not exactly like we can just make friends with each other and get along - all team up together and get the humans to leave us alone. That shit didn’t work when we were alive - and we’ve got these supernatural powers, and all-encompassing hunger, and a beast that’s constantly trying to take the driving seat!
It turns out, licks - just like humans - need something to believe in. Be that a belief in the fucking Camarilla to save us, or some long dead religion that a few nutjobs have dug up and sunk their fangs into. More sects, more groups, more ideologies. Now more than ever, more and more movements are cropping up.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good thing that some of us are surviving, but is more infighting really what we need in the face of the Second Inquisition? I’ll be damned - twice over - if you can convince me that any of them have the right idea…”
A Note
A large portion of these movements exist in V5 canon and we encourage you to read about them if this interests you. Some of the movement are our own creation, please feel free to ask us any questions you may have.
The Unbound
“No Slaves, No Masters; Fuck the Camarilla!”
The Unbound are your traditional Anarchs. Kindred that have - out of choice or simply circumstance - joined the rabble.
The New Wave
“I didn’t choose this life, but I sure as hell ain’t letting some prick tell me what I can do; or how I’m meant to do it!”
The New Wave are fresh on the block. They don’t care for century-old traditions or ideas cooked up by the Elders and Ancients.
The Ashfinders
“What is up my Vampies! I’m out here at the vigil. Hype up the after party! It’s giving mourning-like, plur-vibes. Cya tonite!🧛♂️💀💃 #RIPQueenAnne #WishuWereHere”
If the Camarilla are gonna brand the Duskborn and use them as bait for The Inquisition; then why shouldn’t the Duskborn turn to what they know best?
The Church of Set
“Why would I, an apostle of the Sixth Hour, allow myself to be chained to obeying the likes of you, Baron?”
Not all members of the Ministry are satisfied with their nominal association within the Anarchs. These are the most orthodox of Sutekh’s brood; who claim the Red God as their guiding light, and archetypical iconoclast.
The Anarch Revolutionists
“Yeah, I get it! She’s a diablerist, Black-hand, two-steps-from-Wassail, nutjob. But, we need that Sheriff dead - and she’s the best option we’ve got.”
The War is raging harder than ever - and if that means you’ve got to work with some of the most vile monsters you’ve ever met to win.
The Church of Caine
“I opened myself up once more, to the Night, and saw the infinite possibilities in the stars and knew that a path of power, a path of Blood was mine for the taking.” - The Book of Nod
There are those amongst the damned that call themselves Cainite - that believe that all of the damned share a common, singular, ancestor: Caine.
The Circulatory System
“Blood & Boons, Sunshine; hunger makes our world go ‘round after all,”
Livestock is the name of the game. In the modern nights, more than ever before, licks need a way to feed; and with the Inquisition breathing down their necks, the Masquerade is more important than ever.
The Red Question
“Why Do YOU obey?"
Even in unlife - even with the ever-watching eye of the Inquisition - technology has its uses. The internet was a kindred invention, after all.
The Cult of Mithras
“Come here Neophyte, let me tell you of The Shining Light; how His return heralds a New World Order.”
Even amongst the Anarchs, you can find rumours of Methuselah's awakening, and leading a blinding crusade against the status quo, to bring about a new dawn. Who better to follow than the king of Avalon themself, Mithras?
The Coven of Blood
“Our Vitae is full of secrets, my dear. It’s time the Rabble remembered that.”
Among the Anarchs, there are just as many hidden secrets and histories as any other group - and they are dedicated to uncovering them all, and sharing them with the un-enlightened.
