Beckett's Pocket Notes: Clans & Bloodlines [Final]

My partner and I started this little project a while ago and finally finished it.

A comprehensive chart of all clans and bloodlines and their connections. This is mainly based upon V20 lore with some earlier where needed (eg blood brothers). Some information: The straight lines represent connections that are confirmed in the lore. The dotted lines represent connections that are theorized in the lore. While working on this we got informed that the arabic logos from the books are not only wrong but often borderline offensive, therefore we decided to work make new ones (that's why the arabic logos might look different to the books versions).

We had a blast working on it and maybe this is useful for someone else as a quick cheat-sheet! If you have any critique or spot a mistake please let me know and if possible include your source (the books) so I can look for more information!

TW: sexism from clans, misogynistic undertones

A/N: This idea has been in the back of my mind for so long but now it's actually came to life and idk how I feel abt it... But if ppl actually like this and I get motivated to make a pt two I will (lmk what you think!!)

Synopsis: You have been treated like cattle your whole life, just a prize for another man. So, when your clan starts to drown in debt from fraud, what is their best idea to be in the clear with the Zenin clan? Simple. They sell you off to the Zenin clan to marry Toji Zenin. Marriage was the word they chose to use, but we both know that you have no choice in the matter, you're just another woman to them, nothing but a prized cattle for them to sell.

Your parents sit you down, not a tinge of nervousness on their faces. The air feels heavy; the tension is thick between you and your parents. Your father finally breaks the silence, saying, “You’re getting married.” It's not a suggestion; there's no warning for when it's going to happen. Your father just declared it; they don't even bother taking your feelings into account. I mean, why would they? After all, they see you as nothing really.

Sadly, you could feel that this was going to happen. Talks have sparked around your clan on how your clan is in debt to the Zenin clan. Something about fraud and the wrong goods being delivered. You overheard from your old relatives that always gossiped in the garden; word quickly spread to the children in your clan. Since children obviously talk, word quickly spread, and then soon the whole clan knew of the matter. No one spoke of the matter, though. It was just something that hung in the air like smoke in a confined room.

Your parents stare at you with not a tinge of sympathy on their faces; their faces are cold, with absolutely zero emotion. Your mother doesn't bother to speak, knowing that if she tries to, your father would just tell her to shut up and know her place.

Your father starts again, saying, "The wedding will be in exactly one week; your dress is ready already. There will be no venue.” Typical. Just quick and easy, huh? What a coward. Your father starts again after pausing. “Are we all on the same page here?” He doesn't wait for an answer from either your mother or you. “Great, good talk," he says, walking away down the hallway as your mother treads behind him.

…

A week passes in no time, today is your wedding day, and oh, how you've been dreading it. Not only because you’ve never met this man, but also because this whole situation is fucked up. Your parents have never cared about your well being, they only ever cared about keeping the family business alive, and now that it's tanking, instead of trying to mend the cracks like any normal person, they chose to marry you off to clear their debt to a man you’ve never met. You feel sick, it feels like you have no control over your life at this point. You never really did, anyways, you just always gaslit yourself into thinking you had a choice. For once in your boring, miserable life you wanted to be free from your disgusting clan, but now, not only are you being married off, but you're being married off to the most hostile clan known.

Your shiromuku kimono fits perfectly. In reality you have nothing to complain about; it's gorgeous. The fabric drapes over your body perfectly. The gold accents are breathtaking… but you can't help but feel this sickening feeling in your gut. 

The venue isn't even a venue at all. It's just the Zenin clan's garden. To be fair, it is pretty, really pretty. But that doesn’t make you forget about the fact that in a few minutes, you’ll be married to a man you've never met. As you walk to the floral archway, your father wraps his arm around yours. He doesn't dare look at you. He looks like he just wants to get this over with as soon as possible.

You stand under the archway, white lilies staring down at you. The man you are marrying walks down the aisle towards you. He has black moppy hair and he is quite tall, probably over six foot. He doesn't speak to you, let alone look at you. He just stares at the priest. The priest tells you to take his hands in yours. The priest recites prayers and poems, you finally get a good look at the man while he does so. The man has a scar on the left side of his lip, and he has gorgeous emerald eyes that immediately draw you to him. Before you even know it, the priest has finished his prayers. He asks the man if he will take your hand in marriage. He immediately says yes. The priest then turns to you and asks, will you take his hand in marriage. You go silent. You can feel your father and mother's gaze, eyeing you like hawks. After a few moments you manage to get out a half-silent “yes”.

The priest announces you as husband and wife. Silence. Your father and mother continue to stare at you with that stare. The stare you saw your entire childhood, the stare that made you feel like a nobody, a disappointment.

The man takes your hand as you walk towards Zenin's residence. The man does not say a single word to you as he takes you down countless confusing turns until you reach a small hallway. It's dimly lit with only one window at the end of the hallway. You want to scream and shout, it’s just you too. And there's nothing you can do. He opens the door and leads you into what you assume are his quarters. It’s- It’s cleaner then you thought it would be. A large bay window covers the main wall, warm light dripping into the bedroom. On the right side of the room is his bed, a huge bed. Right in front of the bay window there is a grand piano open. The very far left of the room there is a door that connects to his chambers. You assume it's an ensuite.

“Take a seat”, he says. You sit on the seat for the grand piano. He gets on his knees and stares up at you, looking right into your eyes. “What is your name?”, he says. You tell him your name, he tests it a couple times on his tongue before you ask his name. “My name is Toji, Toji Zenin.”

“I want to make something clear," he says harshly. His tone makes you flinch slightly. “I understand we both don’t like this situation, so we don't have to do anything you aren’t comfortable with. You are not obligated to serve me; do I make myself clear?”

That takes you aback. You thought a man like him who looks so scary would be harsh or aggressive, partly why you were so scared of marrying him. But he's… weirdly soft? Not like you’re complaining,... it was just unexpected.

“Sounds good”, you finally say. “Thank you for being so understanding.”

Toji hums in acknowledgment before grabbing your hand softly and leading you to his bed. “You can have the bed if you’d like, I don’t mind sleeping on the floor.” “Are you sure?" you say, surprised. “This is your home.”

“I don’t mind, really. We have extra futons in the spare closet.”

“Okay,... if you say so…”

Toji leaves to get a spare futon. He comes back and lays it down far away from the bed. Soon after that you realize you don't have a change of clothes. Toji senses your panicking, he walks across the hall and comes back, again. He hands you a soft, cotton nightgown. It’s cream with lace details around the sleeves.

“I’ll step out so you can change.” Before you can even ask him where he got a nightgown for you, Toji disappears out of the room and shuts the door. You look around, confused, before shrugging to yourself and changing into the nightgown. Toji knocks and asks if he can come in. You tell him he can come in, as soon as you do you realize he changed too.

Huh.

Toji goes to lie down on his futon. You stand around awkwardly before heading to his bed. The sheets smell like soft incense and a hint of cedar. His sheets are crisp and ironed, surprisingly clean.

You stare at the ceiling for a while, after about thirty minutes you hear the sound of Toji’s soft snoring. You sit up to look at him and realize he looks oddly peaceful sleeping. Lying back down, you stare out the window in bed. Watching the sun disappear down the horizon.

Huh, you think. Maybe this won't be so bad after all.
