Origin: I originally gained the necromantic ritual - Circle of Cerebus, a level one Giovanni rite after attacking and killing a household of Australian Giovanni in Sidney - circa 2037 - 1st Iteration.

Proposed Discipline Combinations

• -- Gaze of the Balrog (Protean 1, Obtenebration 1)
• -- Chameleon's Flicker (Visceratika 1, Celerity 1)

This discipline combination eliminates the penalty from (skin of the chameleon) for moving faster than walking speed.

System: the vampire activates skin of the chameleon as normal and another blood point to activate this ability. When active, the movement penalty is negated for a scene, however, when the vampire moves at greater than walking speed, observers may make a perception + alertness role, difficulty = to 10 - the number of actions the cloaked vampire takes in the round. This perception role may only be made if there observer takes a full round! If successful, the observer sees the outlined form of the cloaked vampire but gains no further information about that individual unless he/she successfully sees past the hidden figure's dex + stealth.

Downtime Plans

Short Term: 1-12 months Track down and identify who got 'Germano' declared legally dead.
