	So, some greater power in this world utterly hates you. Could be the God-Machine, a powerful and really bored vampire, a really dumb mad science experiment, some rat bastard of a spirit, blind chance, whatever. It doesn't really matter what it is, just that it hates you personally and because of this, you are a Hunchback. This (according to our lawyers at least) has nothing to do with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyphosis kyphosis], the medical condition that real-life people with hunched backs have. Instead, because you live in the World of Darkness, you have a mutation called the Hump. The Hump is a store of mystical energy that allows Hunchbacks to recognize each other by something called the Lurching and use supernatural powers called Twists, with effects that vary from poisoning people to communicating with animals to physical enhancement.

Instead, because you live in the World of Darkness, you have a mutation called the Hump. Unlike kyphosis, which is abnormal curvature of the spine, the Hump is more like a giant, evil tumor that affixes itself to the spine. The Hump is a store of mystical energy that allows Hunchbacks to recognize each other by something called the Lurching and use supernatural powers called Twists, with effects that vary from poisoning people to communicating with animals to physical enhancement.

	But, you ask, this is the World of Darkness, so what's the catch? Well, you're right, there is a catch, and it's a doozy. The magical energy Hunchbacks use is called Misery, and it's essentially distilled emotional pain. If you wanna use any of those neat powers, you have to be insulted, rejected, and generally bullied. And if you want to just say 'screw it' and go cold turkey on powers so you don't need to be sad all the time? You're shit out of luck, because the Hump is an emotional parasite, and it will get its misery somehow. Your appearance is mutated to look utterly grotesque to the point where humans have to make composure rolls to stay in your presence, everything you do is made disgusting somehow, and in the extremely unlikely event that you do get your happy ending, you die as the Hump drains your life in lieu of your pain. Did I mention that your life sucks? Because it does.		But, you ask, this is the World of Darkness, so what's the catch? Well, you're right, there is a catch, and it's a doozy.

	The Sanctuaire of 'fuck this shit I'm out'. These Hunchbacks have figured out that absolutely ''nothing'' is going to go their way; regular humans hate them, the only Masters who will take them are evil, nutjobs, or evil nutjobs, and they're never going to achieve acceptance wherever they go. So they give up and go hide out somewhere, choosing to forego having a Master at all. This tends to take one of two forms: the nice one where you just live as a hermit, and the evil one where you accept your role as a monster and go around menacing the populace.

			==Rues==

			We already have our Clans and Covenants, so now we need our Hunchback Bloodlines. The Rues are further groups a Hunchback can join, granting access to extra Twists.

			===Rue de Ataudine===

			Hitman Hunchbacks who are really good at channeling their repressed rage against the world into murder. Not so good at anything outside of this laser-focus.

			===Rue de Barnumene===

			You're a circus freak. No, literally. A lot of deformed people have made a living as carnival attractions, and some Hunchbacks choose to go this route too. The good news is that your coworkers won't care about your deformities; they're used to the bizarre.

			===Rue de Bruno===

			Nomadic Hunchback biker gang, composed of Concordians who have the gang itself as their Master. Need I say more?

			===Rue de Cyrano===

			Reclusive Hunchbacks who strive to be known only by their Voices, hiding away their ugly appearance.

			===Rue de Enfante===

			Hunchbacks who were locked in their homes by their parents as children, stunting their mental development. They tend to act as imaginary friends to children- the nasty kind who get into trouble that you'll be blamed for.

			===Rue de Guignol===

			It's a common theory that Hunchbacks originated from ghouls, so these guys seek to understand the curse by crudely emulating vampires, mostly by drinking blood.

			===Rue de Moreau===

			Ever read ''The Island of Doctor Moreau'', where the bad doctor turns humans into animal hybrids? Well, this is that backwards. Moreaus are Feraleur Mabuse who try to surgically (and painfully) correct their animalistic features.

			===Rue de Morgue===

			Necromancer Hunchbacks, because the dead can't judge you for being butt-ugly.

			===Rue de Noveau===

			Hunchback Internet trolls, who cause conflict on the web to replenish their Misery.

			===Rue de Quasimodo===

			Hunchbacks who, like Quasimodo himself, make their homes in churches.

			===Rue de Savanteur===

			Mabuse who actually know what they're doing, unlike regular Mabuse who serve mostly as cheerleaders.

			===Rue de Valette===

			Hunchback servants who strive to become, as one very wise butler once said, one ''hell'' of a butler.
