Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Thinblood Disciplines Revealed

Paradox Interactive has revealed more information about the background and disciplines for Thinbloods in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, which the player will begin the game as.

Thinbloods are a second-class group of vampires who have abilities that are weaker than the "great clans." Though players will begin as a newly embraced Thinblood, they will eventually have the choice to join one of these five "full-blooded Kindred clans."

Paradox has released an animated trailer that you can see below that gives a glimpse of some of the lore and powers the Thinbloods possess, with further clans being revealed in the coming weeks.

Thinbloods may be a recent and weaker strain of vampires, but Seattle's leadership has been "uncharacteristically tolerant" of them. Seattle recently became under Camarilla control, and while Thinbloods still have the opportunity to "navigate their way into the higher circles of vampire society," they are rarely shown the same level of respect as the full-blood clan members.

How Hawkeye Became the Most Human Avenger

Today we continue our look at each of the founding MCU Avengers and how their stories have led them to their final confrontation with Thanos. Next up is Hawkeye and his journey to Avengers: Endgame.

Across the entire Infinity Saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, every member of the Avengers has endured personal consequences because of Thanos' machinations. The events set in motion by the Mad Titan's alliance with Loki is directly responsible for the team forming in the first place, placing the heroes on a path hurtling straight for Thanos, even if they didn't know it at the time. Yet while most of the team are exceptional individuals suited for battles of cosmic importance, one founding member stands out by being the most “normal” Avenger on the roster: Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, who has become a symbol of the effects Thanos' quest for the Infinity Stones has had on regular people across the universe.
