I told the priest, Don't count on any second coming, God got his ass kicked the first time he came down here slumming. - Anonymous
Whoa there kid, you don't gotta beat his face just because he said you act like a stereotypical Brujah? Oh, you ARE a Brujah? Well then, you better...damn kid you got some speed in your swing! Heh hey you remind me of this Icon I used to know...No no, not like a symbol, an Iconoclast. Never heard of 'em and your a Brujah? Damn kid all that blood in you doesn't know a damn thing about where it came from? Alright kid si' down. Your one, and only, freebie your ever gonna get from Smiling Jack.
Us Brujah...alright kid settle down. You and I share the clan. That don't make you or me any specialer, got it? Now that we got that behind us there's a few basics of Brujah you gotta get down kid. Alot of the young bloods these days just roll their eyes and move on, but the ones in the know end up staying alive a little bit longer. Trust me on this one, knowing about other Brujah might just help ya keep your head above the water when your ship is sinking. Catch my drift? Haha! Drift! Ah...heh...eh lousey punk...
Look...the fact that some asshole took the time to codify the Brujah into categories just goes to show you no one understands the simple point behind revolution. Truth is kid, revolution is about the everyday punk, like yourself, getting what is owed to ya. Probably some damn white whigged Ventrue getting put under boot came up with this shit so they wouldn't snuff out his exsistance. Heh heh, ahhhhh now that's a comforting thought...hunh? Oh right sorry kid. I'll tell ya the shit they came up with, it's actually kinda funny, and if you admit this second part to anyone else, I'll seal ya up in a barrel and let ya float in the bay! But they got it pretty damn close.
Might as well start with what you'll have to deal with the most around the world. Your garden variety Brujah elder is an Idealist. The Idealist's are a throwback of Brujah. To the days when people thought of a library as a place of great importance instead of that building across the street from your Hoggie's corner. Don't tease them about it, after all they are still Brujah, and that means their blood still burns with passion. They just take that passion into knowledge and learning and words as well as backing them up with a few well placed blows to the head. Now before ya get too wrapped up in this whole scholar nonsense remember this; these guys will do the fighting if they HAVE to. Otherwise they'll find the nearest neonate next to them and inspire them with the passion they feel. Then point them in the direction that they want the momentary puppet to go. These guys got alot behind them and their words. But someone who finds stinking their nose into a book to the point they'll miss out on a good fight or a great party, heh, they're removing themselves from the people that are alive to learn about the people that are dead. That just sits with me wrong, ya know?
Iconoclasts, the self proclaimed warriors of the Brujah clan. Their fists speak for them, even when talking among themselves. Their pride in the unnatural strength of our blood is what keeps them a cut above the rest of the rabble that aspire to be like 'em. Though they have the fight down, they seldom look past those precious moments to what comes after. In other words they never come for cake and ice cream. While complaining constantly that the "noble" Ventrue and others who are in charge exercise selective law enforcement it is no wonder that the majority of Brujah that fill this camp are Anarchs. Now don't be going and judging them too harshly off the bat kid. They got the blood in them thick, heh, and you know what that means. If your a Brujah they got your back when you need it. Besides their belief in the brotherhood they got the guts to be the guys in the trenches. If they see a problem they go out and fix it instead of taking the time to ask others to help like the Idealists. Probably because they know if they find a problem there will be a fight, and damned if they'll be second in line.
Now this is where the break down happens kid. You hear the name "individualist" and you think right away they are just out for number one. That couldn't be further from the truth. The reason ya think that kid is 'cause theres about one of them for every twenty of us, and even then I doubt those Idealist bullshit numbers. These guys got it solid in them to be one for all. Sounds romantic novelist type shit right? HA! Again wrong! I mean one for all kid. They'll stick up for your beliefs more then you will. Hell I've even heard of these guys dying for the beliefs of others or at least the right for others to believe different things then what their leaders tell 'em too. You won't find these guys chummin' it up in any Cam crew or Sabbat setup usually. Though the few that can balance their blood with the rules of either of those groups I'd watch out for. Having two conflicting sets of laws like that ussually winds ya tight and when they release, you don't wanna be around, ya' dig?
Now any of those clubs got one underlaying thing in common. The blood. From your first rant to your last rave, you've got your brother's and sister's back. Revolution doesn't work by yourself, get me kid? You need others to back you up and us Brujah even have a name for it. Don't worry about what it's called. Trust me though, when you get the call, heh heh, you'll find it hard not to go running to your clan-mate's side. Hey now don't go taking it too far kid. Cammie Brujah don't help their bastard Sabbat Brujah, and likewise backwards. Besides that exception you sometimes, if a big enough Brujah puts up the flag for help, might even see Anarch, Independant, and Cammie's all coming together to help the clan. Though I wouldn't count on seeing it in your lifetime, even if you think it'll last for forever.
Alright kid, you've been patient long enough. Let me light up this smoke and then you and I ca...hunh, that trick still works. Ah crap, bent the last stick. Hey kid, you ain't got any smokes on ya down there, do ya? Upper jacket pocket, perfect, thanks kid! Go feed on some broad and make her night, that'll take the dent out of your chest. Heh hey, who knows, you might even live long enough to steal them back!
