Ok, so you get to create your own personal army of super-soldiers. They're all perfectly bound to your will, totally merciless, all that. Through genetic engineering, magic, doses of vampire blood, or whatever... You can give them the equivalent of one of the following disciplines.

Again... all that is gauranteed is that they will all be "born" or "cloned" or "built" or whatever with LEVEL ONE of the discipline.
There's a chance that later generations of your super-soldiers will be able to have higher levels, like when your technology improves, or when you learn more magic, or when you get a better vampire-blood test subject, or whatever... But it's also possible that level uno is as good as it's going to get.

Which Discipline does your Army of Super Soldiers get?

They're listed in the order that I think of them, kinda in categorical order (three physicals together, etc), kinda in alphabetical order, kinda in random order.
Art may imitate life, but only propoganda can hide the bodies.

Right now I'm torn between the following:
Potence / Celerity / Fortitude = any of those three makes you pwn physically in a different way.
Dominate / Presence = why not have an army of politicians?
Obfuscate / Auspex = why not have an army of manipulators and spies?
Dementation = Admit it... the army of madness is freaking scary.
Vicissitude = the army of freaky bone spikes and carnal fear. Also scary.


Which basically means I am NOT wanting to have:
Necromancy = too cliched and lame, even though it would pwn.
Protean = I dunno, while I admit it would help you win, especially in Guerilla warfare, it doesn't have the flavor I like.
Animalism = again, would make you win guerilla warfare, but wouldn't be "fun" in my imagining.
Obtenebration = THE ARMY OF DARKNESS!! ha ha.
Chimerstry = Ok, this one is potentially the most devastating and the most mini-maxed... but it feels too much like lame. It's my least favorite discipline of all.
Thaumaturgy = Doesn't feel "super soldiery." This is good for your inner cabal of illuminati, not the soldiers OF the illuminati. Same as Necromancy.

Even if they only get level uno, they will all have happy trails and aces of spades making them win at LIFE. Also, I know Onyx hates it. BONUS.

Turns out I totally forgot to put Quietus up there... oh well.

Upon further reflection... I've narrowed it down to just 3. ((Hey, that's a 2/3 reduction)).
Fortitude = Getting shot and not carrying makes an army win. When you don't die... you don't lose (usually).
Dementation = No, really, the army of madness is scary, and prevents the enemy from being able to use their tactics and strategies correctly.
Obfuscate = If you no see me, you no shoot me. This works just as well for whole armies as it does for super spies.

You know what? I'm going Dementation.
It may not be the winningest option, but darn if it isn't the most fun and flavor-ful for me.
The army that infects you with fear and madness when you get close to it is just neato.

If your enemy was invisible, not only could you not shoot them, but how long before your soldiers refused to even try?
