Can you roleplay as a vampire hunter?

Can you roleplay as a vampire hunter?
You know the cliche.
You been turned into what you hate and now want to kill them all.
Using your new found "gifts" to help you.

My questions are this:
1:Can you killl everyone in the game(humans vampires etc?)
2:Who can and cant you kill.
3:Can you join vampire hunters?
4:Can you join the church that hunt vampires?
5:Any advantage of playing female over male?
6:Any reason to go thremere over ventrue?

To answer your questions in order under the assumption you're asking if these are options within VtMB itself:
1: You can kill most people. The average citizens walking about each hub can all be killed. THe problem is once you cause enough of a legal disturbance, you get swarmed by lots of cops. If you do it inside a building you come outside and there's cops EVERYWHERE. Not a good idea. (Note: Killing NPC enemies like gangsters and such obviously doesn't get the cops involved, only the non-combatants being killed can cause this.)
2: See above. Any combatant NPC like gangsters, Sabbat vampires, hunters, monsters, etc can all be killed. There are some major NPCs that you cannot attack afaik like Prince LaCroix, Jeanette and Therese, Strauss, Isaac...pretty much everyone you need for missions.
3: No.
4: No.
5: Most of the male models are not particularly well done and have...really weird walk and run animations. That's my main reason for playing females in the game. Some of the female outfits also just look cooler than their male counterparts.
6: Ventrue get to be social and tanky(if you put points into Fortitude), but Tremere can be social(with the appropriate skills and Dominate dots) and get access to Thaumaturgy, which is some really cool and interesting blood magic. Plus LaCroix's a Ventrue and he's a ♥♥♥♥ so...lol

Using the console you can actually switch into all of the three hunter classes, who basically work including three Numina when using the UP. But of course this doesn't fit into the story!

Actually, female characters have a lot of exclusive "encounters" with members of the opposite and same sex. Jeanette and Romeo? (I think it's spelled that way, the ghoul that watches the graveyward/cemetary in Holleywood). They also have smaller instances (where you can just feed/persaude by seduction dialogue) as well which make getting past certain obstacles much easier.

Males only really have an exclusive set of encounters and they are the women in the Giovanni mansion (I think 2?). They're both straight from memory and can help you with the quest featured there and getting into other parts of the mansion that are supposedly secret.

The correct commands would be vclan mp-condotierre or mp-inquisitor or mp-mercenary.

That's pretty damn amazing - so is your 9.0 patch BTW. Is there any support with this game for creating custom adventures/mini campaigns that would work with a hunter?

The closest you'll get to custom quests is The Final Nights mod or the Clan Quest mod.

I think the Clan Quest has a few vigilante or evil missions you can do, but none as hunters as far as I know.

The SDK is included in the Extras folder of the patch if you chose to install it. With it you could make new levels and a complete hunter mini campaign if you wanted to!

They can get high only if feeding off someone high. Ingesting the blood of someone drunk or high will give them a lesser effect of the drug. However, they can't get high from smoking weed, popping pills, shooting up, snorting, etc.
