Editing Leviathan: The Tempest (section)

=Strain=

Which one of Tiamat's kids you descend from.

'''Bahamutans'''

Scions of Bahamut, but sadly not the D&D version, so you don't get to be part metallic dragon. Bahamutans are stereotyped as being the most mellow of Leviathans, but anyone who relies on that too much is in for a very painful second thought. Tend to have the most peaceful and cooperative Families, which can mean anything from a loving and supportive relationship to [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|there is no war in Ba Sing Se]]-level tyranny. They represent the sin of Sloth, and their favored vestige is Vitality, with Awareness, Fecundity, and Might as secondaries.

'''Dagonites'''

Spawn of Dagon- the Lovecraft version, not the real world Syrian god of fertility and prosperity. They ''are'' the most fertile Tribe, but they're also the most messed-up, both mentally and physically. They're stuck-up fucks with god complexes (even by Leviathan standards) who like to lead and usually have large cults. Their favored vestige is Fecundity, and their secondaries are Elements, Predation, and Sanctify. They represent Pride.

'''Lahamins'''

Descendants of Lahamu. If you have no idea who that is, you're in good company. Lahamu is an Assyrian goddess who is the firstborn daughter of Tiamat and ancestor of Anu. The Lahamins are the rarest strain, because they don't really care about reproducing. They're secretive and like to collect knowledge and act indirectly, which has caused their fellows to accuse them of cowardice. However, they're efficiently dangerous in a straight fight. They represent the vice of Envy, and they favor Awareness, with Predation, Sanctify, and Vitality for secondary vestiges. 

'''Nu'''

Originating from Nu, the ancient Egyptian personification of primordial waters and chaos. The Nu are the weirdest Leviathans, with the closest direct connection to the elements. Their cultists are even crazier than normal Leviathan cultists; an example is given of one mistaking a ''shopping list'' to be a demand for a virgin sacrifice. Nu favor the vestige of Elements, and to a lesser extent Awareness, Fecundity, and Sanctify. They represent the vice of Gluttony.

'''Oceanads'''

Children of Oceanus, these are known to be the prettiest Leviathans, being often associated with mermaids. They're good at enthralling mortals. Their favorite Vestige is Sanctify, with Element, Might, and Predation secondary. Their vice is Lust.

'''Tanninim'''

Spawned from Tannin, and the 'fighty' tribe. Their favored vestige is Predation, with secondary Awareness, Might, and Vitality. They represent Wrath.

'''Thalassans'''

Descendants of the goddess Thalassa. They are the splat best adjusted to human life, to the point where they can actually resist the transformation if they anchor themselves with a power outside of themselves, so a prospective Thalassan can keep themselves human with the power of friendship. Thalassans are stereotyped as businesspeople, satisfying their Leviathan need for power by climbing the corporate latter, in accordance of their sin of Greed. Their favored vestige is Might, with Element, Fecundity, and Sanctify as secondary ones.
