• Detailed Information

  The information listed above refers to your previous life.
  
  At the time that I write this, I shall attempt to elaborate on these details as best as I can with my current knowledge of them. Keep in mind that as you read this, some of them may still exist within you, or perhaps have faded with time.
  
  As an Assamite, you were gifted with an intense physical and mental training. You are an efficient and disciplined killer of other vampires, and developed a number of different skills to benefit you. You've learned how to use anything as a weapon. To others, pain is an obstacle; With enough pressure, it can prove insurmountable. Not to you. You have accepted its presence, and have effectively become immune to most kinds of pain. As a mortal, your agility was already quite remarkable; As a vampire, it only flourished all the more. At its basest level, your reaction time alerts you more readily to danger than a normal human being. As a result, you are able to respond and react accordingly to many different situations. This does not make you omniscient, so it is wise to still exercise caution in any situation.
  
  You were gifted with a number of other abilities. Being a vampire, you can tap into your latent celerity, enhancing your speed beyond the limits of even most other supernaturals. Fully unleashing your potential, you can move faster than what can be seen by the human eye, flickering in and out of sight. Your response time vastly outperforms others; Within the limit of a second, you can outpace your opponents, developing elaborate scenarios and preparing to execute them while others struggle to keep pace with your last few actions.
  
  Secondly, you possess the discipline of Quietus, a spiritual connection to all things related to Blood. A trademark of your bloodline, your ability to manipulate and augment the composition of blood offers you a pantheon of different tools to use at your disposal. Assamites have the potential to utilize Obfuscate, a power that allows them to hide themselves and conceal their movements and even intentions.
  
  I willingly sealed away this ability, performing a number of rites upon myself so that our capacity with Quietus would be unmatched. The methods I had to use were often unspeakable, and once again for your own safety I will not elaborate into the powers that I employed to perform this feat. If it were not for that, the project would have never been completed and you wouldn't be standing here reading this right now. Perhaps your knowledge of this skill may have faded during the process, but there may be a chance that you can still employ it. You shall have to experiment with it to find out.
  
  Thirdly, you have access to an ancient form of sorcery. You can easily draw moisture from the air and manipulate water into whatever form you may see fit. You can combine your other powers with this magic in a variety of different ways. I encourage you to experiment with it privately; It is a versatile tool that can help you in a variety of different situations. However, the origin of this power is something that I will not go into, as doing so would compromise your safety. Use it sparingly, and use it wisely.
  
  Unfortunately, these skills come with a few drawbacks. First is your necessity for blood. The immense powers that you have access to wax and wane with the vitae that you draw your strength from. Using them at their full potential will drain you of your strength quite rapidly, and you will require proportional amounts of blood to recover from them. it is not advisable to unleash your full power and hope to contend against others in an endurance match; This will invite either Frenzy or Rötschreck (The Fight or Flight responses that a Vampire faces), which could possibly lead to your final death. Use them conservatively.
  
  Secondly is your limited durability. While you have an accelerated healing factor, it does not even compare to other vampires of your age and generation. Do not think that you can go toe-to-toe with your opponents and resist supernatural attacks without taking considerable damage. Luckily, it may aid in preventing others from detecting your true nature. Employ this weakness as you see fit to your advantage.
  
  Addendum: Due to recent events, we have finally been able to unlock the secrets of Those That Lie Below. The Dark Thaumaturgical energies employed by the Damned rest within our fingertips. As I discover more about the nature of these powers, I shall publish my findings accordingly.
