No Kindred claims to have heard of them before the 1700s, and if they had existed before then, vampires feel sure they would have known. The Daughters are such masters of song that most Kindred believe they are an offshoot of the Toreador, though those who have been on the receiving end of their power think the Malkavians had more influence.The Daughters of Cacophony are singers without peer, but their melodious harmonies are not their main claims to fame. It is the damage their songs can do to the mind that causes their Kindred concern.The Toreador are of two minds in their dealings with this bloodline. While they cannot deny that the Daughters have incredible skill in their chosen art, more than one Toreador has been forever twisted by one disjointed note. The Daughters songs can be as horrid as they can be beautiful, and there is no way of knowing their intentions until they act.The Daughters are a small bloodline, centered mainly in the New World, and member Embrace only those who show real singing talent. Most create no more than one or two childer. The childer learn from their sires for years before being released into the world.The Daughters go to great lengths to avoid Embracing anyone of wide renown, but most of the line's members were beginning promising careers in music at the time of the Embrace. They retain their love of performance, but perform mainly for each other and for their small Herds. They keep their Fame minimal, but often find the lure of small clubs too much to ignore. Hearing such a performance can be an unmatched experience for anyone. While they seem to abide by the Masquerade, Daughters can be found in both the Camarilla and the Sabbat. Some Kindred insist the Daughters have undying loyalty to whatever sect rules in the city in which they reside. For instance, on famous Daughter, Sayshila, in known to have stopped a Sabbat attack on a Miami concert house. On the other hand, she is believed to have driven a Gangrel archon mad after the pair spent a night howling together at the moon.Nickname: Sirens Appearance: There is no standard look to this bloodline. Its members have included beefy opera singers, pencil-thin divas and everything in between. While some of it's most prominent members have been female, the bloodline includes a fair amount of males, though most are rather young. Haven: Trendy apartments, lofts and nightclubs seem to be their residences of choice. Background: Anyone Embraced into this bloodline will have a beautiful voice, but does not have to be a professional musician. Still, most were. Character Creation: Daughters of Cacophony almost always have entertainer concepts. They split their most popular natures between Visionary and Praise-Seeker, though they may take any Demeanor. Social Attributes and Talent Abilities are almost always primary. They always have at least some Fame, but can take any other backgrounds they desire. Most will also have Herds for whom they perform. Many have developed the Baby Face Merit. Clan Disciplines: Fortitude, Melpominee, Presence Weaknesses: The Daughters of Cacophony are so caught up in their music that they hear it constantly. As a result of this distraction, the difficulties of all a Daughter's Perception rolls are increased by one. Additionally, a Daughter's Alertness can never exceed three. Organization: The bloodline has no formal organization, but Younger members generally follow the lead of the older, more talented members. Occasionally a number of Daughters gather to give a concert of great beauty.________________________________________________EDIT - This is from 2nd Edition Vampire. The revised edition states that the Daughters have purged the males from their bloodline. Other than that, I believe they are unchanged, though their primary discipline, Melpominee has changed a bit. Melpominee is the discipline that allows them to drive people insane, send their voice over long distances, and cause people's internal organs to rupture with their voice. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
