Bansha bloodline

Bansha are massive, around 7-8 feet tall, with long arms and huge hands.

Bansha are just as intelligent as when they were Human, but tend to experience more extreme emotions.

Bansha have typical Vampire sensory abilities.

The Louisiana Territory is ruled by the Bansha Betsy alongside the Náhádzid Hé Cha Waktà Aphé Wakpá.   The Aztec Territory is ruled by the Bansha Huitzilopochtli.

Due to their large size, Bansha have to go to specialized tailors for their clothes, or make their own. Since all the outfits Bansha wear are custom-tailored, they are of high quality and fashion. Bansha consider clothes to be very valuable, and may give clothes as gifts to those they love or feel indebted to.

Bansha are one of the oldest branches of the Vampire family tree. Before humans really settled down into cities, they were the reason to be afraid of the dark. Traces of their ancient history can be remembered in tales of Nephilim, Fomorians, and other monstrous giants. Once humans started settling into cities, their superior strength made Bansha the rulers of vampire society, forming the first night courts. These early centers of vampire government only tended to control a city, or sometimes a few small towns, and were mostly dedicated to ensuring the Humans were breeding well and didn't revolt. Maintaining the masquerade was the best way to prevent revolt, so the Bansha Lords started to demand that Ekon start hunting for them. In modern times, Bansha still do rule over some lands, but have largely been outcompeted for leadership by younger, calmer Ekon bloodlines. In North America, only 2 night courts are ruled by Bansha.

Betsy, leader of the Louisiana Territory is a Bansha.

Due to their large size and high emotions, Bansha have a reputation as brutes and barbarians. Some play into this stereotype, working as enforcers or executioners, while some shun the stereotype and try to prove it wrong. Due to their extremely inhuman appearance, Bansha also rely on the larger vampire community for basic essentials, such as food, clothing, and real estate. This makes them surprisingly common in cities, and they often work for the night court.
