Coil of Jackass
From SuspireWiki
This is a mocking Coil generally attributed to people who refuse to do one thing or another in the best interests of fairness (generally in regards to "invincibility" in-game attempts).

Tier One: Beast Immunity
With this tier of the Coil of Jackass, the player is unperturbed by any attempts in-game to insult their character to rile the beast. Generally, this happens in large scenes where a character has much to lose and when everyone expects the player to roll frenzy, they don't. Sometimes they even go so far as to state they are "unaffected" or "calm".
Pros: You'll never have to worry about that whole silly Beast thing that vampires in VtR have.
Cons: Everyone will hate you and think you're a crappy roleplayer (at least for that scene).
Tier Two: Aura Perception or Empathy Checks Immunity
With this tier of the Coil of Jackass, the player - no matter the situation in-game - refuses to give any worthwhile reads to an empathy or Aura Perception check directed his or her way. Common examples of this are responses to Aura Perception such as, "Calm, vampire, no derangements" (when the target of some various, and usually not-so-great, in character altercation) or Empathy responses such as "He's not upset at all, he's calm".
Pros: You'll never have to worry about silly things like "being caught in a lie" or something silly like that.
Cons: Everyone will hate you and think you're a crappy roleplayer (at least for that scene).
Tier Three: Brass Balls
With this tier of the Coil of Jackass, nothing can scare a player's character. Nothing. A character who eviscerates ten people alone with a sword to your character's neck doesn't scare your character. In fact the character laughs in the face of such certain and present danger. You don't bother to play on that irritating self-preservation instinct with your character, either, because damnit - you can just make another one!
Pros: Never show fear, be0tch.
Cons: The server thinks you're a dick.
Tier Four: Majesty Aversion
With this all amazing tier of the Coil of Jackass, Majesty seemingly has absolutely no affect on you. It doesn't matter if the Majesty user scored a bazillion successes on you and you failed your resist roll. Why should you do anything against your will? Majesty is just a suggestion really, not an actual discipline. Its RP flavor. There is no real reason you should ever divulge your plot to kill the Prince even though you went on a tirade not ten minutes before the Majesty user entered the scene. All lack of self preservation instinct you got rid of with Tier Three automatically carries over and adds to this Tier. Awe... one look says it all, then look away. Revelation.... you'll never get me to talk copper. Entrance.....merely a smile will impart your love for the person but then you must run to the character you are actually having netsex with and let them know immediately you have been Entranced there by counteracting the fact you were entranced at all. Summoning......eh they can wait. Sovereignty... meh but i wanna protect so and so. I don't want to join the dark side and kill them. Meta really isn't that big a deal besides your non-Majesty character has seen and can identify every level of Majesty and knowing is half the battle.
Pros: You are teh awesome Anti Majesty Fairy.
Cons: You are teh awesome Meta Fairy. Either way you're a Fairy only without the cool ability to fly. The server thinks you're a dick.
