There is a Clan that once sacrificed everything for family, now they are an empire where only the strong survive. They are known for their callousness and cruelty, but also a relentless protection of any they deem close to them.
The Dracul come from the heart of Russia as emissaries of the Imperial Throne, these vampires are the epitome of machiavellian politics and raw strength.
The Clan has an Embassy in New York, and it seeks to grow its already substantial power in the city and on the continent. This Embassy comprises the Ambassador and their family, trying to obey the will of the Tsarina.
| ST Note: This Clan plays as an actual family. Playing as a family might seem a bit too personal when playing with potential strangers, there will be a family workshop before the larp where we help tie peoples relations together. If you are joining as a singular person later on, we will find ways to tie you into the Dracul group. |

Embassy. The Dracul are emissaries from Russia. The Dracul Embassy is controlled by an Ambassador appointed from the homeland. The Ambassador usually brings their entire family with them, for safety reasons. The Clan is a hierarchy of positions and responsibilities. The strong are rewarded and as such much is based on individual success. But one thing is success, another is failure which is punished severely.
Clan Embrace
Every Character has had an Embrace where they went from a Mortal without knowledge to a Vampire with knowledge, here we look into what kind of Character would usually be Embraced into the Dracul.
The Unwanted Child – You might be a Duskborn, but clearly you weren’t wanted. For some reason though, maybe through your own guile, you got turned into a Vampire and this has only brought more ire from your parents.
Great Expectations – As a Duskborn and child of someone important you are expected to achieve, to rise above. You might be loved, but that love comes with a heavy burden, maybe micromanagement of your life.
Good Enough – You are not a Duskborn, this makes you an eternal outsider, not truly part of the family. Yet you have proven yourself to sit at the table, to command and earn respect. But never forget that whatever you do, will never be truly appreciated.
