'''Taint of the Dead:''' The Sangiovanni carry in them the taint of death. On the outside, they may appear pristine and beautiful and fully human. On the inside, the touch of the grave clings to them. The living can feel this, an intangible sensation of wrongness, that repels them. All Sangiovanni are treated as having a Humanity score 2 lower when it comes to relating to humans. 

In addition to this, the Sangiovanni have a particular love for the dead. A love that crosses clearly into the lines of obsession. Whenever a Sangiovanni is confronted with a corpse for the first time, they must roll Resolve + Composure, with a bonus equal to the bonus granted to their detachment rolls. On failure, the Necromancer gains the Obsession Condition, with a focus on the corpse in question. What the Necromancer desires from the corpse varies from kindred to kindred. For some, they wish to study it, to touch it, to taste it, and at times, something wholly more depraved. But whatever the desire, the Sangiovanni will attempt to pursue it, and all other actions will suffer. Resolve this condition when the Sangiovanni has satisfied their desire. 


'''Tenebrous Curse:''' Mekhet blood is the blood of shadows. Their Requiem is one of secrecy and symbolism. For this reason, Mekhet each suffer a single bane that is not tied to a breaking point. When the Mekhet reaches Humanity 6, choose a bane. This bane counts toward the three banes a vampire is allowed, so the Mekhet is less able to mitigate detachment. As well, consider a Mekhet’s Humanity to be one dot lower for all Humanity-based banes (including sunlight and torpor).
