I'm still hoping that they REALLY mix things up for the new WoD.
ie.
Vampires "Monsters we are lest things even worse destroy all that we have
ever cared for."
Vampires are those whose souls have been to the other side and who have seen
the blasphemies that exist there, constantly seeking to suborn our own world
to their own horrid will. Returned to a world that they can no longer fully
be a part of, vampires are forced to feed off of the very humans whom they
must protect from horrid things beyond mortal conception (a wretched
existence, but infinitely better than the fate of those captured and
enslaved by their supernatural adversaries).
Because of their time soaking up blasphemous energies in a realm of
indescribable monstrosity, all vampires are repelled by religious symbols
(but don't believe that thing about bursting into flame when exposed to
sunlight; although daylight robs them of their strength it will not kill
them).
Werewolves "Cursed to destroy."
Unwitting pawns of the twisted powers from beyond, these pathetic wretches
constantly battle against the malefic disease which threatens to reduce them
to near-mindless rabid beasts. Gathering in hidden societies in futile
attempts to retain their human nature (or reveling in their monstrosity),
they spend their existence battling themselves, each other and the vampire
vigilantes who decry them as "tools of the earth-killers."
Contrary to popular conception, silver has no special effect on werewolves
(although wolfsbane is HIGHLY toxic to them).
