[attr="class","ititle"]Doppelgängers
[attr="class","itinfo"]
A Doppelgänger (also known as a "Shadow Self") is a person who happens to be a supernatural double of an immortal being. They are Nature's way of balancing itself after the creation of a spell to make truly immortal beings by repeatedly creating mortal counterparts of them to live and eventually die in their place. Basically, doppelgängers are the "scapegoats" of immortals who are exempted from nature's rule that all living things must eventually cease to live. While the doppelgängers' lives don't always follow the exact same pattern of their progenitors, they have a supernatural tendency to find each other and fall in love with one another over the centuries.

[attr="class","isubtitle"]Powers
Blood: Because they are mystical and recurrent, doppelgängers are a source of massive magical power.
The blood of a doppelgänger can be used to link supernatural beings to kinship with the help of magic conducted by any witch.
Their blood can also be used to bind an extremely powerful curse or spell.
For some spells, the blood must come from a human doppelgänger. For other spells, the blood of a doppelgänger can still be used even if they've been turned into a vampire. There are certain spells and uses that require the doppelgänger to be "pure" and human, however, like the undoing of the Hybrid Curse and the siring of hybrids.
Linking: Because dopplegangers are modelled after Immortals and other dopplegangers, they have an inherently strong mystical connection to each other that can be used to invoke Linking Spells.
