:For bloodlines in Vampire: The Maquarade, see Bloodlines in Vampire: the Masquerade.
A bloodline is a fictional category of vampires, from White Wolf Game Studio's role-playing games Vampire: The Requiem. While the term clan refers to considerably populous and well-known groups, bloodline refers to smaller groups. In most cases, a bloodline is an offshoot of a clan, possessing similar features and abilities with some significant twist.
In the Requiem vampires create other vampires by draining all the victim's blood and providing a drop of the progenitor's vitae. Because of this, the childe shares many attributes of the sire.
The childe of a member of a bloodline always belongs to that bloodline's parent clan. To become a member of a bloodline, the childe must join one through force of will, though in some cases this can happen unconsciously. A vampire can only join bloodlines that split off from her own clan, but she is not limited to her sire's bloodline if her sire belongs to one. Vampires of sufficient age and potency of blood may create their own bloodlines rather than joining ones already established; the process is irreversible, and no vampire may belong to more than one bloodline. The advantage of creating or joining a bloodline is easier access to one or more new Disciplines, or vampiric power; the disadvantage is that bloodlines invariably have an additional flaw or weakness that sets them apart from the parent clan.
The list of bloodlines mentioned in Vampire: The Requiem follows. For information regarding the individual clans, see Clans in Vampire: The Requiem.
