Nickname: Metamorphosists Virtues: Conviction and Instinct Ethics of the Path Almost exclusively found within the Tzimisce, Followers of the Path of Metamorphosis are truly some of the most alien creatures any Kindred could hope (or have the misfortune) to meet. Metamorphosists are cold, utterly inhuman, and exactingly scientific. Their concerns are metaphysical rather than legitimately ethical, and it's precisely this frame of mind that leads many to believe that the Metamorphosists have literally begun their transformation into something else. Some take this a step further by altering their flesh in various means until they no longer have a recognizable gender or look even remotely human. A lonely pursuit. Many on the Path refuse to share their wisdom or even mislead those who seek it. The knowledge is too valuable. All creatures – even other path followers – are ultimately objects of study. To impart knowledge and enlightenment to a lab rat is to corrupt the experiment. The rat will not act “naturally”. As an extension you should not concern yourself overly with mortals, except as tools to further your studies. Don't heed the needs or desires of others, as their lack of introspection may distract even the keenest intellect. To remain ever aware of one’s own evolution, one must be continuously self-centered. Because one cannot evolve another being, that being’s needs are by definition an impediment to the true way. Learn the characteristics of all stages of life and death. Vampires, as embodiments of both stages’ qualities, must evolve along the tree of death as well as life. Control the Beast by studying its limits and the limits of vampirism in general. Indulge the Beast and deny it; true comprehension of unlife requires a broad range of experience. The Beast in and of itself is like any other organ or system. If overtaxed, or allowed to atrophy, it becomes a detriment. If assimilated properly into the whole, exercised and nourished but not besotted or bloated, the Beast takes it place within the framework. For its followers, the world is made up of evolutionary chains. Animals are below humans, who are below the Kindred. To undergo Metamorphosis is to completely separate oneself from Creation, to be a self-sufficient will in a universe that holds no more power over the ego. Physical change precedes spiritual change, though. One should alter and augment one's body -- changing the flesh may pave the way toward changing the soul. While altering one’s flesh does not lead to enlightenment, the act of experiencing the physical world through different body-lens can in turn to lead to innovative ways of thinking – or unthinking, as the case may be. See potential in the undead form. Strengthen bones to weather crushing blows or sharpen them into pikes for impaling enemies. Relocate vital organs to make their digestion of blood more efficient. Improve eyes and ears to make them more sensitive to changes around them.
