Honestly, how do more Nosferatu get made?

[jnericsonx]

If normal people freak out when they see them, how often would one be in a situation where someone WILLINGLY GETS MADE INTO A VAMPIRE THAT LOOKS LIKE THEM??? Hell, even Daedalus on the tv show asked Julian to sire someone vs him doing it.

Pretty sure it is not by choice.

Many vampires of ANY Clan are not willing. To make someone willing, you'd have to tell them about vampires, which is a no-no. There are some ghouls who get the choice, and even some humans who get the choice but it's an extreme rarity. Also the Nosferatu tend to Embrace people to punish them. They'll Embrace vain, beautiful people to punish them for thinking they're so awesome just because they're pretty. They'll Embrace cruel people as well to make their outward appearance match their insides. Nossies are a messed up Clan.

In the lore, 3 drinks of a vampire's blood makes you love them more than life itself. In that case, you'd do anything for them. My guess is that that is one way.

But alternately, a Nosferatu can mask their face so, while still hideous, they can pass as mortals. Kind of like Uncle Fester from the Adam's family. Say a Nosferatu was given permission to embrace a new childer, they make use this mask to hunt down the target, ambush them using their invisibility adn proceed to drain them dry. Once the mortal is drained it's just a process of giving over the kindred vitae.

As for the selection process, well that's a whole other story.

You can even see this in the game intro, once in the theatre the Nosferatu sire of the player will show its real face...

Game made it very obvious that it is not happening by choice.
Also I would choose to become Nosferatu in a heartbeat. They are coolest dudes around.

[Taffey]

Nossies are actually cool I like them. Though if I was given a choice of clan I would totaly go for Malks.

If I had to choose a Clan to be Embraced into, I'd go for Brujah. They're close knit like the Nosferatu but don't have the hideous downsides. I'd like observing people and seeing how history changes things over the decades to choose to be a hideous monster.

The thing about Nosferatu is that they are always hunted by Nictuku which makes them live in constant paranoia

I imagine being a Nosferatu would be pretty depressing tbh. Holed up underground most of the time or skulking around invisible, having to forcefully feed on people instead of the more entertaining methods of seduction, never really trusted by anyone except other Nosferatu since everyone's going to assume you're spying or a mercenary information broker...yeah sounds like a crappy unlife to me.

Pretty much no embrace (creating a vampire) is by choice.

[Axeface]

There are people that adore the nosferatu... you could even say they adore them because they are hideous. Nosferatu tend to get willing childe from homeless people, metally damaged vagrants, that sort of person. On the flip side they also like to force the embrace on beautiful people, like supermodels and actors as a cruel joke (they even have a slang name for these 'revenge' embraced vamps, 'cleopatras').
You also seem to be forgetting that nossies have obfuscate (Nos is my fave clan).

Mask of a Thousand Faces: Change your appearance and mannerisms to mimic someone else, then enough blood in and Boom luv all around and then change.. Nosferatu 101

[Michael M]

Mitnick chose to become a Nosferatu.

Granted, the alternative was death, but he considers his embrace the best thing that ever happenned to him.

Gary and Imalia were turned into Nosferatu to hurt them. Gary's had time to get over it.
