Category:Anarchs

Anarchs are Vampires who reject the status quo of vampire society. They especially resent the privileged status held by Enders within the Camarilla and other vampire sects; when the eldest hold the most power in a society of immortals, the lot of neonates is not a happy one. The Anarchs themselves are not a sect, in most areas, they are simply a faction on the fringes of the dominant Camarilla hierarchy. However, a loosely organized Anarch Movement has emerged over the course of the past century, and has begun to establish its own traditions, power blocs, territories, and all the other trappings of a full-fledged sect.

Anarchs are often targeted for recruitment by the Sabbat, but most respect the Masquerade and some of the other Traditions, even if they do not respect the vampires who enforce them or the system that benefits from them. Anarchs, like all vampires, are considered members of the Camarilla by default, but unlike the Sabbat they are tolerated, as per the terms of the Convention of Thorns.

The Anarch's historical origins lie in the Anarch Revolt that birthed the Sabbat, but in the modern nights they are mostly an unorganized rabble of younger vampires and Caitiff "Anarch" was originally a name imposed upon them by Camarilla elders, since they sought to overthrow the leadership structures of Canite society, but while many new Anarchs are indeed anarchistic, the more traditional desire has been to bring equality and democracy (or at least meritocracy) to Kindred society
