Clan Brujah

#### Brujah Priomgen:

Jimmy Hollywood, the circus strong-man. He is over-the-top and often flirts with anyone he comes across, appearing to be an ordinary member of the circus. Players may not even realize they have just met the Brujah priomgen until they are directly told. Despite his friendly and welcoming demeanor, he is very protective of both his clan and the human circus carnies that he works with.

Jimmy Hollywood has always been gay, but given how unaccepted homosexuality has been for most of his life, he has only recently begun speaking about it openly.

#### Brujah Coterie:

Madam B. (Real name Lucille Briar). Madam B. is the circus’ “World’s tallest woman” and stands at an insane 7 feet 8 inches, making her literally among the tallest women in the world. This is assisted by the 7 inch high heels she wears while in public, which are glamoured to appear as flat shoes. Supernaturally pale, her visage is one of duality. She is at once beautiful, and undeniably off-putting. Those that meet her have the odd, nagging thought that although they might kill for a chance at dancing with Madam B… They would never risk going somewhere private with her. Those pitch-black eyes… Like a dead deer.

Roughly based on Madam Dimistrescu from Resident Evil Village. People often assume she is the lover of Jimmy Hollywood, but we don’t actually know if she sleeps with anyone. Many vampires don’t, after all. Romantically linked to Lazlo Grayson, though.

Has recently begun mentoring Will Grayson, much to the concern of Jimmy. However, she’s really just helping Will out as a favor to his brother, Lazlo.

Billy Hollywood is Jimmy’s adopted son, who he turned upon his 21st birthday. Billy has long been troubled and struggles to find his place in the circus. This is due to being largely untalented at all circus activities. Despite being almost supernaturally attractive, Billy ended up feeling invalid and less than his fellow circus performers because of this lack of talent.

Will Grayson grew up in this circus, with his brother. He happily helped his idol, Jimmy Hollywood, put on shows throughout his childhood that dazzled and amazed all. Somehow, he was unaware that Jimmy was a vampire until the night he was offered the embrace. Turned by Jimmy because of his irreversibly good nature and kind heart. Struggling to adapt to his new life as a vampire, but happy he doesn’t have to leave the circus. Was an excellent high-flyer before he was a vampire, and now an even better one.

Lazlo Grayson isn’t a kindred, he’s a ghoul. His brother Will’s ghoul, in fact. But he’s as important a part of the Brujah coterie as any other. He’s the older brother to Will Grayson, and has always looked after him. Lazlo, along with his carny parents, has known that Jimmy Hollywood is a powerful vampire for many years. Despite this, they still consider him a close friend and haven’t held it against them. The circus is a family, after all.

Mortal Carny: Drunken Ghoul

Tombothy Cartwright was always an unfortunate man. He was born into a poverty-stricken area, to parents who hated him off the bat. As soon as he turned 18, he followed his dreams and joined the Ring-ling Brothers Certified Clown Academy. Sadly, he ended up being an incredibly bad and unfunny clown. Thankfully, he distinguished himself in school as being remarkably good at drinking alcohol. Seeing the value in this, and seeing a wayward sprit, Jimmy Hollywood decided to turn Tombothy into his ghoul. They have now worked together for nearly 50 years.

“I get paid to drink, that means I can’t be an alcoholic… zzz… zzz… Wha?! Oh sorry, what were we talking about?”
