Clans

For want of a better word. There is no really strong group division in the scene. It's not like there are MopeyGoth-Only clubs, but if your character concept runs along the lines of one of the clan descriptions and you fit the requirement you can choose the clan and get the bonuses. Besides, the clans roughly express interests, personality types, and GENERAL choice of friends.

To join the clan your character must fit the minimum stat requirement. Clans are not required.

Industrial-Minimum of 12 in Dexterity to avoid flying off the dance floor. Ten extra points in the combat skill of their choice and 10 in Bitch.

Mopey- Minimum of 12 in Style to keep your parents from sending you to a psychiatrist every morning. 10 extra points in Angst and Write, because God knows they do a lot of it.

Perky- Minimum of 12 in Cool or you won't be able to stand the pace. Perkigoths get 20 extra points in Persuade because they are so damned chipper.

Punk- Minimum of 12 in Strength, which you will need to do deal with the aggression you tend to attract. 10 points in the combat skill of their choice and 10 in Pierce.

Stoner- Minimum of 12 in liver because the stoner must stay conscious long enough to make an ass of themselves (I love you guys!!) Stoner Goths get 10 points in both Drugs and Booze.

Fashionably Goth- Minimum of 12 in Style, since it's more important than substance. Fashionably Goths get a 10 point bonus in Shop and Apply Make-up

Crow Goths- Minimum of 12 in Cool to stay appropriately tragic and Brandon Lee-esque enough. Crow Goths get 10 points in both Apply Make-up and Quote, because you gotta remember all the poetry.

DJ Goth- Minimum of 12 in Brain, so you know what songs to avoid. DJs get 12 points in Goth Lore and Music Lore.

Babygoths- Minimum of 12 in Style, because getting glared at every time you go out is a bitch. Babygoths get 10 points in both Apply Make-up and Dress.

Pissandmoanatthebargoths- Minimum of 12 in Liver, otherwise you'll be out before your through complaining. Pissandmoanatthebargoths get 10 in Booze and10 in Angst so they can get drunk and say how much different it was from when the scene was just starting.

Gamer Geek- Minimum of 12 in Style because you have to infuse that Ventrue Primogen with a soul, DAMMIT! Gamergeeks get 10 in Act and 10 in Book Lore because it's hard to LARP while always looking for the proper gesture for Obfuscate powers.

MANLYGOTHS- Minimum of 12 in Strength to show the world that you're too tough to wear make-up. MANLYGOTHS get 10 in Bitch and 10 in Dress because it's important that they look as threatening as possible.

Drama Goths- Minimum of 12 in Cool because there is NO substitute for improv. Dramagoths get 20 in Act, duh. Have fun at Rocky!

Occult Goth- Minimum of 12 in Brain, so you know for sure where to put the candle. Occult Goths get 10 in Occult and 10 in Shop so they can find the Anton LaVey book at B Dalton.

Shy Goth/Loner Goth- Minimum of 12 in Cool. Shy/Loner Goths get 10 in Hide and 10 in Ignore, so they can tune out their friends who attempt to get them to socialize.

Mansonite/NINcher- Minimum of 12 in Brain to remember all that ponderous rhetoric. Marilyn Mansonites and Ninchers get 10 in Quote and 10 in Bitch.

Be careful if you chose this clan because the Ubergoth is obligated to make your life hell. Mansonites aren't too popular and can make enemies easy from Goths and parents alike.

Net.Goth- Minimum of 12 in Brain for IRC, HTTP, FTP, ALT, OK? Net.Goths get 10 extra in Spam and 10 in Use Internet.

Not-a-goths- Also known as the Eldritch Goth. Minimum of 12 in Cool, so you can easily deny the allegations. Notagoths get 10 in Ignore and 10 in Music Lore, because for people not "involved" in the scene, they sure do know more about the music than you do.

Cowboy Goth-Minimum of 12 in Cool, to be able to stand there with your guns at your side at high noon. Cowboy Goths automatically get the Action Hero merit, and 10 in Grapple for those days when people dis' Fields of Nephilim or say that Al Jourganson is nothing but Rob Zombie's clone.

Computer Geek-Differs from Net.Goth in that Computer Geeks are generally programmer or hardware techie-types. Minimum of 12 in Brain, to remember all those ports and diodes and ROMs and skuzzy SCSI, IDE connector type invalid. Computer Geeks get 10 in Computer and 10 in Language (the language specified being PROGRAMMING--no need to specify C, C++, Java, BASIC, PASCAL, UNIX, LINUX, or anything else, it is assumed you know these and it probably won’t ever really come down to specifics like that anyway).

NOTE: This is my buddy Raveneye's. I have no idea what the hell he's talking about ;) Samurai Joe

Gloom Cookie-You’re not goth, but your not notagoth, all your friends are goth, you dress in black, go to clubs, but you feel distinctly outside the scene. Minimum of 10 in Style to pull it off without being harassed. Gloom Cookies get 10 in Ignore to deal with the people saying your not goth and the people saying you are and you’re in denial, and 10 in Frighten so you can deal with everyone else. There was a Gloom Cookie FAQ up, but the authoress took it down temporarily.

Guttergoth-Minimum of 12 in Strength from weeks of running away from home and living under the overpass. Guttergoths get 10 in Pierce for the self-inflicted lip ring and eyebrow ring, and 10 in Shop to find those black military pants for 5 bucks.

Glittergoth-Minimum of 12 in Style because you're too sexy for your cat. Glittergoths get 10 points in Apply Make-up and 10 in Dress because a Goth's got to look good.
