=='''Gargoyles'''==

The Gargoyle Lineage are Prometheans of vampiric progeny. The Circle of the Crone devised certain rituals in ancient times to infuse dead bodies made of clay or stone with an unholy mockery of life. Not unlike the Golems, the first Gargoyles were created as slaves by kindred acolytes to serve them in their sinister work. If other Prmetheans encounter a Gaegoyle they often mistakenly believe him to be a Golem until they learn to spot the subtle differences in humour or derangements, that set them apart of the Tammuz, or the Gargoyle is displaying some form of their unique Transformation Viscera.
The demiurges of Gargoyles are either Gargoyles themselves, or almost exclusively Vampires. To create a sentient Gargole the demiurge needs to have knowledge of a special and stronger variant of the "A Child from the Stones" Cruac Ritual, involving the use of certain human body parts in the creation of the body and a burying procedure quite similar to that of the Tammuz Lineage. Also alike their Golem kin the Gargoyles have a phrase bestowed in vampiric Vitae inscribed on their foreheads and cannot speak for some time after their creation. Some rare cases are known, in which a Gargoyle, made purely from inorganic material like with the standard version of the ritual, awakens to full sentience, but these are always Pandoran-like creatures of destruction and madness.
Other Prometheans, especily Galateids and Osirians percieve Gargoyles as the lowest scum, beneath true Promtheans, not even created as the progeny of mortal, but rather undead beings that themselves crave and thirst for the Azothic spark of true life.
The Tammuz have very split oppinions upon their spernatural cousins. Some believe them to be long lost brothers, others see in them the spoiled brodod of dark creatures and hunt them down, like the Titans fought Gaeas children.

* Progenitor: Grigor (or Goratrix, Medusa, etc.)
* Other Nicknames: Bloody angels, Gargs
* Appearance:
* Disfigurement: Almost always Wings are the first Disfigurement to develop for a Gargoyle. Other common Disfigurements are eyes seeming to be made of multifacetted diamonds, rubies burning with an inner fire of Pyros, or other gemlike changes of the eyes. 
* Humour: (Phlegmatic, Sanguine)
* Element: The element of Earth gouverns the Gargoyles, just like their closest Promethean kin, the Golems.
* Bestowment: Unholy Stamina
* Refinements: The few Gargoyles that gain knowledge of the Promethean ways of the great pilgrimage mostly flock to the Refinement of Ferrum, for they often seek to master ... Some of the remaining seek to master the lore of the Refinement of Mercury, because the remaining residue of Vitae burns within their Azoth, seeking to distilate that traces out of their proto-souls with the heat of Pyros. A select handful remain, that pursue the Refinement of Aurum (like Goliath' Clan in the Disney cartoon series). Gargoyles with the Refinements of Cuprum, or Stannum are almost unheard of. All  awakened members of the Lineage, do however share an affinity to the Gargoyles unique Transformation of Viscera, which they may have learned from either their demiurge, other Gargoyles, or have developed on their own by trial and error.
* Character Creation:
