Devised by Joseph Pander himself, the Renaming Ceremony is based on Native American initiation and

manhood rites. This ritual officially adopts a Caitiff (or an individual of any Clan) into the Panders. By spending a full night dancing, drumming, and performing feats of the blood with other Panders, the individual asks for and receives rebirth. She takes a new name and loses all blood-ties to her former Clan, lineage, and Antediluvian, becoming a member of the Pander Clan.

System

By spending a full night in ritual activities with other members of this faction, the target individual, if willing, may cast off the ties of lineage and “become” a Pander. Although their character sheet retains their native Clan, they sever all metaphysical connections to Sire and lineage. Malkavians are expelled from the Madness Network, and any powers that work through the ties of lineage can no longer target them.
