Day 15: Niktuku

On the rare occasion one hears of the Niktuku the response is typically one of disregard. That the existence of such a bloodline is just a paranoid jest of the Nosferatu. And yet Lady Osenya has awoken from torpor into a London drained of Kindred, her ghouls implanted into the Second Inquisition, and she prepares to feast.

On one hand conceptually Nictuku might be fun (Absimiliard being a control freak and obsessed with beauty so he made a tiny clan of perfect childer? Specifically dedicating entire bloodline to hunting down descendants of his sole escapee childer? Cool.) On the other hand, I hate how terribly pointlessly broken they are. And Vasilisa. Just. Vasilisa. With all the canon on how brainwashed those Niktuku are the only explanation is that Absimiliard is a massive creep and probably into kids)

So tbqh I like the IDEA of the niktuku but I only use them as stories, background noise, fears and rumors. Not as actual things...

I liked reading the story in Nights of Prophecy, but they’re honestly not good at being implemented in a fun way for players...

“Me reconnais-tu ? Je suis l'ombre de l'aube, Le chant du silence, Quand le ciel est mouillé d'encre, Et la Lune nappée de miel. Je suis le pétale taché de sang, L'oeil privé de larmes, Un vieillard sans enfance.

Mon nom est Hazimel.”
