      That's why Vampire the Masquerade has multiple vampire clans and has the whole ongoing Nosferatu/Toreador feud

      Occasionally they forget that the shtick is basically "each clan is one particular set of Vampire tropes", but the game is best when it's fully aware of it.

      Yeah the whole idea is there's such a dizzying array of vampire powers and weaknesses it would be almost impossible to play a single character who embodied all of them so they spread them out

      IIRC there's even a thing where they typically used "repelled by garlic" as an example of the ridiculous things humans believe about vampires but then there's actually a family of revenats (hereditary ghouls, i.e. shitty half-vampires) who really are horribly poisoned by garlic

      You can even pinpoint specific movies or books that inspired each Clan, like Brujah was invented to play the "teenage street punk" vampires from The Lost Boys, Toreador was the Byronic artiste vampires like Lestat from Anne Rice, etc etc

      Directly mapping vampire clans to vampire tropes only really applies to the Camarilla clans (ironically the guys with the Masquerade are the most likely to be clocked as Vampires by mortals).

      The Sabbat clans stretch things a bit but their weaknesses at least as classic vampire gimmicks. The independent clans and bloodlines are all over the place.

      The Independent Clans are Independent Clans because they're White Wolf getting wild and wacky with new ideas for things vampires can be The Camarilla Clans are "normal" vampire tropes and the Sabbat Clans are the tropes they decided didn't work for player characters

      Or, rather, back in First Edition the actual intention was to specifically play a "good" vampire (or a vampire trying to be good/achieve Golconda) and the antitribu were explicitly the "evil" versions of those vampire tropes The two Sabbat Clans are the Always-Evil vampires

      Specifically Lasombra are like the Nazi Social Darwinist vampires who are also outright literal shadow-monsters, a la Hellsing And Tzimisce are the archetype of insane inbred wackjob medieval aristocrats (they literally say Dracula is an Old Clan Tzimisce)

          Vicissitude is not a very traditional vampire superpower to have, hence the whole "Old Clan" Tzimisce distinction for Dracula But the point of it kind of obviously is to make you Castlevania Dracula -- i.e. a Dracula who has a whole army of horrifying monster mooks as minions

          That's why they were so insistent there are no Tzimisce antitribu Aside from it being part of the personality of the Clan, they also just really didn't want players running around making flesh beasts and whatnot
