I've geeked out recently and started playing a computer role-playing game called "Vampire Bloodlines: The Masquerade". The setting of the game is a gritty L.A. in which you play a vampire that was newly embraced (the action of afflicting one with the vampiric disease).

Being a role-playing game, you have to decide what clan of Vampires you belong to (it's a long heirarchy with different bloodlines, etc.). Each clan has their own traits and abilities which affect how you react to the environment and vice-versa. You can do this by choosing your traits or the way i did it, by answering a couple of questions that relate to your character.

The questions were mostly "what would you do in this situation?" questions. I answered them as honestly as I could. I wanted a vampire that would closely resemble me (for the exception that I chose to be female, female vampires are just so hot!). Lo and behold! The computer thought I was best as a member of clan Malkavian. Malkavians are, for lack of a better word, insane. They're just plain wacko. They talk, act and dress weird. They hear voices in their head. However they have powerful insight and perception (brought to them by said voices in the head). They make no sense when they speak yet bring much truth.

Am I really like this? The computer didn't lump me in with the suave and sexy clans, or the more animalistic ones. They made me out to be a loon! I can live with that.
