ON CLAN STATUS
Clan status is the only sort that really motivates a textbook Tremere. All others are to be manipulated when useful and disposed of when no longer a decent tool. So, it's easy to guess that status is extremely important to the Tremere character, and how they get it has a lot to do with their character motivation. Status is quite literally life to a Tremere, lose out too many times and you may be invited to the Inner Council chambers for a midnight snack (you're the snack, if you hadn't guessed).
There are three ways to get status: academic, social influences, and magical power. The natural evolution of the Tremere character is towards the last one, and this has a lot to do with the most common attitudes about magic in general.
Status and magic are very analogous at first in Clan Tremere, and are later very different. One should never underestimate the other two paths to glory, as it is considerably easier to talk to the right people than create that advanced path that soaks up 12 mental traits.
Being that many Tremere concepts are academic in nature, we'll start here...
