A Vampire thought experiment

This started on the World Of Darkness Discord commenting on how you could play a crime lord of any clan, and how the Nosferatu work as information brokers and it assumes they get on reasonably well to function, while Chicago By Night first and second edition made them (and most clans!) a dysfunctional mess...

Anyway, I tend to have a mix of typical and odd characters, and often some typical and odd clans. I try to vary which is which. (Although my Gangrel SPCs do tend to be brooding loners in coats.)

So, the thought experiment.

A Vampire: The Masquerade city with one very standard-issue representation of one clan, and one really weird version of another that still kind of fits.

Like...

A Gangrel family of stock car racers.
A Ministry avant-garde theatre company.
A Toreador church congregation.
A Ventrue boxing club.

For examples, look to the Ten Princes in Damnation City for Vampire: The Requiem, some of them archetypes of clan or covenant and some outliers.
