Ok viele neue Dinge zu P:tC
--- Zitat ---Lineage: A type of Promethean, determined by the Lineage of the Promethean's creator (who is himself a Promethean). The popular conception of a Promethean being created by a mortal refers to a demiurge.
Frankenstein: A Promethean Lineage. Shambling creatures whose limbs and organs were culled from multiple bodies. They were given life by the element of fire in the form of lightning, and they suffer from an excess of choleric humour. Their Progenitor was Dr. Victor Frankenstein's famous monster.

--- Zitat ---A mortal demiurge once channeled Pyros into a dead body, sparking life. This animated creature became the Progenitor of a line of Prometheans, and each generation made more of its kind. Continuing in our week-daily previews of the next World of Darkness game, Promethean: The Created, we reveal the symbol for the Wretched, and a teasing hint at their origin and power.
Frankenstein — The Wretched
What makes a man? What are the components of a human being? Is a human being more than the sum of the parts that make the whole?
The children of Frankenstein embody these questions. Possessed of great strength and wild feeling, yet ill made and unfinished, their condition makes them personifications of the conundrum. They reflect the question literally, too, consisting of a mishmash of human parts sewn together and animated by harnessed lightning — wielding great power but still not fully men.
For all the Disquiet they cause, the other Promethean Lineages are still the intended results of the dark miracles that brought them into being. Not so the descendants of Frankenstein’s monster. Their Progenitor was a mistake, a nightmare mishmash of a dozen corpses.
Although a few of these patchwork people over the last two centuries have not necessarily been hideous, they all share the same curse: They are separated from humanity, and they know it. Members of the family Frankenstein are forced to confront this every day of their lives.
Shambling creatures whose limbs and organs were culled from multiple bodies. They were given life by the element of fire in the form of lightning, and they suffer from an excess of choleric humour. Their Progenitor was the famous Frankenstein's monster, and their Bestowment is Unholy Strength.

Update:
--- Zitat ---disfigurements: Underneath the illusion of normality provided by the Azoth, a Promethean's true visage is terrible to look upon. He might be scarred and stitched or appear to be made of clay, depending on his Lineage. A Promethean's disfigurements become briefly visible to mortals when the Promethean spends Pyros points or uses electrical current to heal wounds.

--- Zitat ---Frankenstein - The Wretched
Disfigurement: When the Wretched use their powers, the joins between the different parts of their body become apparent. Different parts of the body might have different skin tones. The joins could be heavy white scars. They could still be sutured with anything from coarse, old-fashioned thread through to steel wire. Some areas of flesh might even be joined together by riveted straps of leather and metal.
As they use the Pyros or channel their powers, it becomes apparent that some Frankensteins have electrical terminals in odd places on their body, poking out from the join between areas of flesh. Perhaps they’re small rods of copper on the backs of the hands. Sometimes they are bolts on the back of the head, or small copper spikes briefly visible poking out of the scalp. Perhaps the Wretched has small metal contact plates flush with the skin on the base of the spine; maybe they’re on the neck or the chest. When a Frankenstein’s disfigurements become apparent, these terminals might spark, or arc electricity across the Promethean’s body.

--- Zitat ---Frankenstein - The Wretched
Progenitor: Everybody knows the story of Viktor Frankenstein. Literature and the movies have made him and his monster post-Enlightenment legends. The different versions all agree on the point that Frankenstein's single-minded desire to create life led to him bringing to life a monster. In turn, the monster blighted Viktor's existence.
Viktor's science — a fusion of Paracelsian alchemy and Enlightenment science — shouldn't have worked. Whether a result of freak conditions, unfeasible science or an act of God, the monster opened its eyes, only to see his creator turn away in disgust. Frankenstein had intended his creation to be beautiful, a new Adam Kadmon, a complete, perfect man, born in innocence. What he made was an abortion.
Escaping his confines, Frankenstein's monster traveled abroad in the world. He was met with loneliness and rejection.

--- Zitat ---demiurge: A mortal who wields the Azoth to create a Promethean. The result of a demiurge's act of creation is a Progenitor, the prototype Promethean of a Lineage. Any Prometheans the Progenitor then creates inherit his Lineage. Demiurges are rare. There have been only a handful throughout history, and the last confirmed demiurge was Dr. Victor Frankenstein.
Progenitor: The first Promethean of a Lineage. Frankenstein’s monster was the Progenitor of the Frankenstein Lineage.
