Selene from Underworld in a VTM format

So as I said I'm adapting other vampire and vampire like races from other shows to this story, and Selene from Underworld is one of my favorites, so of course I'm going to adapt her, you all know this Selene is almost like a recurring face claim in name or inspiration for a few characters in my vampire stories.

But how would you adapt her to VTM, many places I look say she's a Toreador, some say she'd be a Brujah, others say she fits more as an Assamite, I even saw evidence of her being a more combat inclined Ventrue.

I do see where their coming from, most of the Underworld Vampires seem to fit more with that more attractive Toreador type vampire, even the speed boost that Selene get's in the fifth movie can be seen as Celerity, but that's about all she has in common with Toreadors and Brujahs.

Selene is a rebellious person, she chose to betray someone she saw as a father for the sake of her love for Michael, you could say it's a Toreador and a Brujah move.

Now let's talk about her sire, Viktor, he's a Ventrue you can't convince me otherwise, though definitely a powerful one, I'd say fifth maybe even fourth generation basically a Methuselah, I'm going to probably make him a fifth generation just so the line looks like, Ventrue Antediluvian, Marcus Corvinus, then Viktor.

Anyway back on topic of Selene whether she's a Brujah or a Toreador, how does she end up as Viktors ward essentially, believe it or not that's the easiest part of this conundrum, at times if a childre is left without a sire, either they died or were a deadbeat parent, that Childre can be taken in by another kindred, sometimes this will likely be from their own clan, but at times, someone from a different clan might adopt a stray childre from a different clan.

This could be Selene's back story for a VTM role play.

Selene was born to a poor Hungarian farming family in the year 1383, one night as her family was sleeping her family was attacked by a powerful Brujah vampire, who murdered her whole family, her mother, her father, her older sister, and her twin nieces, before embracing Selene.

Selene was found by the Ventrue Methuselah Viktor, when one of his men was about to kill her, Viktor stopped him, he took Selene and trained her in the ways of Kindred society.

Selene swore revenge against her cruel sire who murdered her family, and has dedicated her life to hunting them down.

This back story can work for multiple ways and multiple clans you can easily switch out Brujah with any of the other possible clans she could be part of, saying it was a Toreador who was a bit more on the evil side, basically a precursor to the Toreador Antitribu, you can say it was Viktor himself like in the movies and he framed another clan maybe Gangrel and make the Gangrel out to be the Lycans of the VTM universe.

But anyway let's say Selene as a Brujah would be raised by Viktor and eventually he'd be one of the minds behind the Camarilla since the Camarilla wouldn't be officially formed till 1435, Selene would have been embraced at nineteen so if she was born in 1383 she'd be embraced in 1402, that's 33 years before the Camarilla was formed in it's entirety.

Now we know how Brujah can be, but Selene has a temperament more similar to that of a Ventrue, she has her rebellious moments but it always get's the job done, so no one really cares, except for Viktors childre Kraven, who wants to control Selene.

Ok onto Michael Corvin, he is or was a character, we're gonna say probably a Gangrel since their the clans closet to Underworld Lycans and Hybrids, so as fun as it would be to make Lucian a Garou and as much sense as it makes, since he's the one who made Michael into a Lycan, he's got to be a Gangrel.

Yes I know hybrids exist in the world of darkness and are made more similarly to how Marcus and Michael were made into hybrids taking in the blood of a vampire and lycan respectively, but are Garou born not made, Lucian wouldn't be able to bite Michael and make him a werewolf, Michael would already have to be a Garou, and then be bitten by a Kindred, and even then he'd probably die if not for plot if we did go that route, even then being a hybrid is just as much a curse as being a vampire, maybe more so.

Of the two Garou and Lycan, I see the Gangrel more similar to Lucian and his Lycans, and the Garou as being closer to William and his Werewolves, but more controlled for a majority of them, I'm not kidding some Garou are born in their wolf forms and their mothers are in wolf form when giving birth, some of them sleep in that form, some are born human, sleep human, and their mothers are in human form.

But anyway tangent over for now, Gangrel and the Protean discipline fit more with hybrids so I'm going to say that Michael and Lucian are Gangrel, you can even say that Lucian is a sixth maybe seventh generation Gangrel, and he was either part of the Anarchs or lead his own independent faction of Gangrel before the fall of the world of darkness, which is how he found himself at war with Viktor, you can say that Viktor did still have his daughter either as his actual daughter or his childre or both, I'm open to ideas and she still fell in love with Lucian but Viktor didn't approve of her falling for a Gangrel, not as a racist species thing, more a classist thing because either way Sonya would likely be a Ventrue, and I can see Viktor thinking it very dishonorable his own daughter falling for a member of a clan of animals as he would likely see them.

Did I just adapt the entire Underworld story from Rise of the Lycans to parts of Evolution into a VTM campaign?

I did not set out for that, I just wanted to know your guys opinions on how to adapt Underworld characters to VTM and world of Darkness.

Give me your opinions do you like the idea of William Corvinus probably being a Garou, maybe from one of the more evil wyrm aligned tribes, maybe he and Marcus are descendants of the Garou on their mothers side, and William was the first to unlock the power, Marcus was embraced by the Ventrue antediluvian sometime in the fifth century AD, if we need to include their father Alexander Corvinus, I'd say, maybe an awoken mage would fit him.

What clan does Selene belong to, leave ideas and questions in the comments please.
