Ventru, LLC Welcomes New Applicants [Ventrue Embracing!]

[Noir Songbird]

The posters have been showing up everywhere. It's unclear how they got there or who put them there, but they are always the same.



It seems like a lucrative employment offer from a large company. Any checks run on "Ventru, LLC" turn up a large, multiregional corporation specializing in all forms of accounting, management, and even legal services.

Certainly a lucrative offer, and one definitely worth looking into...

Info

Happy Vampire Month, babes, Clan Ventrue is looking for delishus new blood.

I will be taking 3-5 applicants total. Most of the business will be conducted here in this thread, but those that make it to the final round will have a PRP with Prince Alessa Caito, who will conduct the final interview and determine personally if your kat is suited to Clan Ventrue (though OOCly, at that point, you'll basically have passed and that's a formality!). Those that pass her scrutiny will be welcomed into the Clan with open arms.

Note: You may begin with more than one entry, but only one will pass the first stage~

About Clan Ventrue

From Wikipedia, AKA The Cliffs Notes Version:
The Ventrue are the rulers, leaders and politicians of the Camarilla, sometimes known as the Patrician Clan or the Kingship Clan. In Ancient Rome, they were generals and warlords of the Empire, and in the Dark Ages, they were knights and barons, leading crusades and conquests. In modern times the Ventrue still have great ambition and see themselves as conquerors, but their ways have changed, using courts and companies instead of feifdoms and mighty armies. Targets for Embrace by the Ventrue have always been people in positions of power, whether these people were aristocracy or company CEOs. The Ventrue perceive themselves as the most powerful of the vampiric clans thanks to their wealth, social influence, and powers over the thoughts and feelings of mortals. The clan as a whole is typified as conservative, be it in actions or customs. The Ventrue have their own nigh-inviolable code of etiquette. The clan's Elders have been known to punish violations of these unwritten rules with greater ferocity and resolve than the Traditions of the Camarilla.

The Ventrue claim that ruling vampires is their duty, their burden, a task which is interlocked with their fate, given by Caine himself (if he ever existed). The reality is that excessive pride and ambition seem a more convenient explanation as to why they strive to expand their already vast influence and assert themselves over other Kindred. They tend to be politicians, businessmen, military officers, crime lords, important members of powerful religions, sects and cults.

In response to what they perceive as a degeneration of the clan from its noble roots, a smaller segment of the clan has forsworn their ties to the Camarilla to join the Sabbat as antitribu. They believe that greed has led the body of the clan astray from its previous glory, so their quest is for righteous military and tyrannical power over other Kindred to reestablish what they believe to be the proper order. The Camarilla Ventrue casually dismiss their antitribu cousins as idealists doomed to failure. Both Ventrue and Ventrue antitribu refer to themselves as the sole "true" heirs of the name.

In comparison to the other vampiric clans, the Ventrue are considered to be especially particular about whose blood they drink. In fact, any given Ventrue can only drink blood from a specific kind of mortal, or from mortals under a specific sort of circumstance. Some may only prey upon a given ethnicity, while others can only feed from humans of a certain occupation or even religion. Some Ventrue can only find nourishment from blood that carries a more rarefied quality such as anger, fear or innocence. Regardless of the sort of blood the Ventrue requires, other blood is regurgitated or simply cannot be swallowed. They may feed from other Kindred with no such restriction. Ventrue prefer to view this flaw as a matter of refined tastes. Of course, with the power (both supernatural and temporal) most Ventrue possess, few go hungry.

After having worked primarily within my peoples' companies, I am feeling a need to branch out and find more challenging business opportunities, preferably for a clientele that is more choosy about what the results will be. Brokering business deals is lovely, but I need more challenge, and Ventru is known for their select clientele that has far more particular needs and demands.

What I can bring to Ventru, LLC, is my determination, my will and my desire to get what the company needs and wants, when it needs and wants it. I will use all the skills I have built up, the contacts I have earned through years of work, to help Ventru become even stronger.

In the end, my goals are to help manage a team of successful negotiators under me, that will provide the company the greatest benefits possible.

Alessa examined the two applications before her, and smiled, slow and pleased. A pampered heir, but one with good sense nonetheless. He would fit in well with plenty of the members of the Clan.

And the other.....Alessa pondered. No, she didn't think they had any investments in Faenix territory yet. An interesting possibility, and a venture she was eager to pursue.

Yes, they would both do very nicely.

She drafted the offers personally, and saw them sent. Fresh blood for the Clan was always exciting.

[[ooc: congratulations, your kats have been selected for Ventrue Embracing, and will join the clan as Fledgelings! We can roleplay it out or feel free to handwave heart ]]
