Some of The Blood choose to ignore the various factions, and make a go of it on thier own. In some cases, these Blood have been around before many of the modern factions were founded.
Independants have been hit hardest by the forces of The Adversary, having no one to turn to when they're caught in the open.
Being independant means not haivng to justify yourself and your opinions to anyone else. It means being able to walk away from the petty politcs of The Blood factions. It means being on your own. It means having to keep your nature secret from everyone you know, and find your own way to maintain your identity through the ages.
