The more thuggish classes don't appeal to me, so I was left with a choice between a Nosferatu and a Malkavian. I'm always a male one, because of the rather fetching suit. The elegant upper-echelon of vampire society, the Toreador are well-spoken, calm, calculated and charismatic, precisely capturing the sort of character I tend to veer towards in role-playing games. Bloodlines's penchant for extended conversation has been interesting this time around.
