Malkavian:    Though chaos can be beautiful, it would be a difficult life.
Tremere:       Honesty is not a word we assoicat with this clan, but we respect them for their                          dedication.
Ventrue:        These particians of our kind, the Ventrue are the only ones with  the refinement to                           appreciate art, though not as we do.
Brujah:          They have little respect for the accomplishments of civilization, but they do understand the                           virtue of change.
Gangrel:        We don't claim to understand them. Are they kinderd at all?

The Toreador exist in a world of darkness, a world where exploitation and unperdictable violence reign supreme. Turning their hearts and minds away from the ugliness they must endure, they give themselves entirely to their vision of perfection. The pursuit of beauty is their noble vocation. As they follow this pursuit, the Masquerade requires them to draw upon what is held deep within their hearts. They must imitate humans to survive. However, although they love humans and live like humans, they will never be human again.

                                 

Nonetheless, their un-lifestyle is dear to them, and to keep it, they would give up everything other Kindred hold dear, including political strength, ungodly wealth and personal power. Toreador see such things as mere trappings of the mortal world. Many Kindred pursued these things when they were alive, and many pursue them even more ferverently now. the Toreador, however, look directly to the source of these trappings by examining the mortal world. They quest for something mortals hope these trappings provide - the "Good Life". By pursuing this quest, they have found a way to cope with the beast that not many have found.
