All canonical clans and bloodlines are available. However, should you wish for a character of a bloodline usually considered extinct, though not forbidden, the backstory must give a good reason for their existence. On top of this, two new bloodlines are available: The Sturlungs and the Vulvas. Both of these come from northern Scandinavia, are new on the scene and therefore relatively unknown. Sturlungs: The Sturlungs are fighters, born and bred. Their disciplines are Fortitute, Potence and Berserker. Sturlungs are however quite selective when they sire and often keep together in small groups in stead of venturing out on their own, though that is not unheard of. The reason for this has to do with their clan weakness. The Sturlungs have a code of honour. They do not expect non-Sturlungs to adhere to it, but will react negatively to witnessing it broken. Breaking the code, or witnessing it broken forces the Sturlung to roll to resist frenzy with the difficulty dictated by the "crime" in question:
Vulvas: The Vulvas are mediums and live in close connection with the Sturlungs. Their disciplines are Auspex, Animalism, and Seid, enabling them to see the truth of things, the past, the presence and the future and lift the veil between this world and the spirit world. These disciplines say a lot about the Vulvas who are considered in touch with the gods themselves. Their close proximity with the Sturlungs might seem odd at first glance but is mutually beneficial to both bloodlines since the Vulvas' powers are much revered by the Sturlungs who look to their guidance before any battle or other venture. In return, the Vulvas gain the protection of the Sturlungs, but their psychic abilities are rarely accompanied by physical prowess. As such, no Vulva may increase their strength above a single dot (the one given at the start) nor increase their stamina above two dots. One more thing that bares mention about these two bloodlines is that while Sturlungs are predominantly male, Vulvas are predominantly female. Male Vulvas do exist, as to female Sturlungs, but they are extremely rare. No one knows for certain why this is apart from the bloodlines themselves, who do not discuss it.
