House Tietjen

House Tietjen:
"“Light leads to hatred, darkness to delight. The best of all things are done in the dark…”"''' '''

Sired by the beautiful yet insidious Sieglind Tietjen. In life, the woman was a noblesse who gathered and sold information not for monetary gains but amusement. House Tietjen and its members deal with the ability to manipulate darkness and shadows, to step through them and make them a home and sanctuary to call their own in order to hide.

The Tietjen often are at the center of criminal organizations or cabals due to their fondness of the shadows and their comfort, using them to operate without impunity or any prying eyes in order to seek whatever it is they may wish. Avarice is their call, and at the slightest opportunity to use their abilities to cause trouble or gain ill gained goods or perform murderous acts for coin or for their own amusement they will. They are independent, yet they usually come together in order to perform more complex and high priority jobs where one alone may not provide the edge they need to succeed.

 

Abilities:
 
 * Shadow Manipulation: User can create, shape and manipulate darkness and shadows. By itself, darkness is mostly used to cloud everything into total darkness, it can be channeled to a variety of effects, both as an absence of light and a solid substance. Often used to create shields and areas of total darkness, create constructs, weapons, and teleport oneself through them. (Shadow Walking long distances like the entire continent or the sort is greatly discouraged.)
 * Shadow Doppelganger: The user can transform their shadows into living beings. As the rule of anything happening to the real body happens to the shadow, this ability may allow the user to manipulate the shadow and cause damage in reality by using it to attack. This means anything that happens to the shadow will be reflected in the true body.
 * Shroud of Darkness: The user can generate and project shadows and darkness which absorb or nullifies light in the area.

Weaknesses:
Light being the enemy of all creatures of the dark, for the Tietjen is even more so as it cancels out their abilities and dispels their covers as well as weaken their constructs and spells. The sun for these vampires, like the Nosferatu is deadly and a quick means to end their skulking around.
