NICKNAME--OUTLANDERS

next clan
the gangrel are wanderers, rarely staying in one place for any length of time. in this, they differ greatly from most kindred, who tend to find a haven and cling to it. there are no established leaders of the clan; on the whole, gangrel are unconcerned with such things. withdrawn, quiet and solemn, they certainly keep their cards close to their chests.
this is a clan of survivors- vampires capable of making it on their own. they do not despise civilization or the society of other kindred- they simply do not require it. they are known for their lack of concern when crossing the lands of the lupines (werewolves) for it is said they have friends among the shapechangers.
the gangrel are themselves very capable shapeshifters, which may explain their ability to cross the wild areas unmolested. there are no reports of them being able to transform into anything other than wolves and bats, but there are old tales of gangrel elders who could achieve a mist form. perhaps because of this protean discipline, their features often resemble those of animals; indeed, some of the oldest gangrels barely resemble human beings anymore.
the gangrel are closely affiliated with the gypsies; in fact, if the stories are to be believed, the gypsies are the mortal descendants of the antediluvian who founded the gangrel line. they are under his protection, and any kindred who harms or embraces one of them will answer to him. regardless of whether this is true or not, kindred are loath to harm gypsies. members of the gangrel clan are expected, through long-standing tradition, to aid the gypsies whenever necessary. it has been known for gangrel to be aided by the gypsies as well. certain gangrel have adopted much from the gypsy culture, including mannerisms, linguistic elements,and even dress.
