A sect is a large organization of vampires with a leadership, rules and goals, that (at least in theory) transcent clan divisions.
Two main sects exist, the Camarilla and the Sabbat (no player sect). Each clan is typically associated with a sect, but in many cases a minor group of members of a clan are associated with the other.
Camarilla default
LAmush is focused on vampire, more specifically on the Theme of Damnation and Camarilla politics. Los Angeles is a Camarilla city, operating under the Camarilla laws and government that our news-files describe. As a result 'Camarilla' is the only 'Sect' truly available for player characters, and it is auto-set during CharGen.
You do have the option of going anarch. However, it's important to understand that in the world of LAmush, anarchs are not a Sect. Anarchs are Camarilla, but Camarilla 'outcasts'. How they became outcasts is different for each anarch; an individual story. Perhaps the character tried to fit in, but somehow fell out of favor with the Camarilla establishment. Or perhaps the character employs its own set of ethics and chooses to rebel against the Camarilla and its Traditions.
Sabbat do exist, but they are a bit different from White Wolf-canon Sabbat. All Sabbat Characters on LA are NPCs.
Declaring Your Sect
Commands | Function |
+declare anarch | +declare anarch sets your Sect to anarch, if it is not already, and gives you a default setting which bolsters your anarch Reputation. |
+declare camarilla | +declare camarilla sets your Sect to Camarilla, if it is not already, and gives you a default setting which confirms your bias to Camarilla Status. |
Please be advised that the use of this command is optional. You can use one or the other of these commands, but you cannot use them both. Moreover, you can use these commands only once. To change your anarch or Camarilla bias thereafter requires a very good reason presented in a +feedback/request to the Architects.
