General Information

 Parent Clan/Covenant: Nosferatu

 Sobriquet: Pretties

 Source: Bloodlines the Legendary, p. 51

 Disciplines: Nightmare, Obfuscate, Vigor and Majesty

Bloodline Gift: Taurobolium

The Galloi bathe in their blood, and this makes them beautiful. All Pretties receive +2 Dice on any Presence or Manipulation rolls in which physical attractiveness are of benefit. This stacks with any other applicable bonus, such as Striking Looks or Majesty, but does not aid in Discipline Use.

Bloodline Bane

The Galloi require frequent bathing in blood. Once in a period of every Blood Potency nights, the Galloi must rub a coating of their own vitae on themselves. This may be mixed with other fluids, but at least 2 vitae must be expended. If the Prettie has not done so, their Gift becomes an equivalent penalty to all Presence and Manipulation Rolls. If a Galloi has utilized one of their Devotions on themselves in a night and expended at least 2 vitae in the process, this requirement is met, there is no need to spend an additional 2.

Devotions

Transgression of Attis (Obfuscate ••, Vigor ••, Majesty ••, Nightmare ••)

Beyond simple appearance of youth and androgyny, this most potent of the Galloi's gifts allows them to actually alter the primary and secondary sex characteristics of a subject. By submerging an adult in a mixture of the Galloi's vitae equal to the target's Size+1, the Galloi may bring about this change. An extended roll of Wits + Occult + Majesty (unwilling victims may resist with Resolve + Supernatural Tolerance). Each roll represents one minute, and a number of successes equal to the target's Stamina must be achieved. As the target must remain submerged in vitae, it is possible for them to drown before the ritual is completed, and the risk of swallowing the vitae of the Galloi is not insignificant.

When the ritual is complete, successful or not, the vitae becomes inert non-typed human blood. If successful, the subject takes on the primary and secondary sex characteristics of the Galloi's choice for a number of weeks equal to the Galloi's Blood Potency. Should the Galloi wish, they may sacrifice a permanent dot of Willpower to make this change permanent.

This Devotion costs 4 Experiences.

Enliven the Flesh (Majesty ••, Obfuscate ••)

This bathing ritual reverts a mortal's physical age and appearance. By bathing a mortal in a mixture of vitae and oils (at least a two vitae must be expended), and rolling Presence + Medicine + Majesty (contested with Stamina + Supernatural Tolerance if the subject is unwilling) the Galloi may effectively remove 5 years of physical age per success, down to a minimum age of eighteen. This effect lasts for one month per dot of Blood Potency the Galloi possesses, and may be made permanent if the Galloi spends a DOT of Willpower. At the end of the duration, the subject reverts to their natural age and also takes an immediate level of Bashing damage for every five years they have ever had restored through this devotion. As a perk, for the first night of the ritual, their newfound youth grants a +1 modifier on all Physical and Social rolls.

This Devotion costs 2 Experiences.

Beautiful Curse (Majesty ••, Nightmare ••)

A Galloi's ghoul is a thing of beauty, but that beauty is never natural. Once purchased, the effects of this Devotion are permanent. Any ghoul fed vitae by the Pretty gains the Nosferatu Bane (utilizing their Integrity Score in lieu of Humanity), but also is a distraction. All mortals in the company of the Ghoul subtract a die from all Wits and Composure based rolls. This effect is cumulative for multiple ghouls, up to -5.

This Devotion costs 2 Experiences.

Mark of Obscurity (Obfuscate •••)

Unusual for the Galloi, this Devotion makes one less noticeable. By marking a target with vitae (one point), which is absorbed mystically, and rolling Manipulation + Stealth + Obfuscate, the target becomes unseen in recordings and reflections until the next sunrise.

This Devotion costs 1 Experience.
