The Tribes
“The Curse you carry is infused into your very soul and will follow you around until the end of days. As you hunt to feed the Curse you will find yourself in close proximity to others like you. As you look into the history of your curse you will find it filled with entire civilisations shaped by those who carry the same burden as you. Your tribe is a powerful thing, dated back to the dawn of creation and defined by adversity and need”

Choosing Your Tribe
Nephilim are powerful creatures. They are immortal and unkillable except by angelic intervention and perhaps demonic powers, they have the ability to manipulate other people’s emotions by instilling them with sin and they can feed on the sin of others.
When choosing a Sin, find one that you are comfortable playing. The Nephilim are not entirely defined by their sin but it is an enormous part of their life and once chosen it cannot be changed. You will often feed in similar locations to other members of your tribe, but you still need to be careful when meeting lest you accidentally trigger an angelic hunt.
