Getsumei
From the White Wolf Wiki, the most complete White Wolf reference
Getsumei ("the moonlit path") is the unique Discipline of the shunned Japanese bloodline of Kindred, the Burakumin. A supernatural extension of their traditional profession as preparers of the dead, it gives them power over the energies of decay that affect corpses, which they manipulate to various effects.
The powers of Getsumei only work on normal, once-mortal corpses - they cannot be used on the bodies of vampires, or the corpses of animals or supernatural creatures.
[edit] Powers
-
Moonlit Presentation - preserves a mortal corpse in its current state without need for chemicals.
- Crow's Harvest - by looking into the intact eye of a corpse, the Burakumin glimpses a vision of the corpse's last moments.
- Corpse Skin - the Burakumin causes his flesh to harden in the manner of a decaying corpse, granting him armor-like protection.
- Channel of Hasu-Ko - creates a small, homunculus-like undead servant from pieces of a corpse.
- Convocation of Hotoke - raises one or more corpses as servants which carry out a simple order.
