Which one of these did you most identify with?

I had the books for Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Mummy, and Changeling. A friend of mine had Wraith.
I never bought the Demon or Hunter books.
I also was no longer playing when they did the 2004 reboot so that's why I'm talking about these old ass books.

I always went back to Vampire. It had everything my sexually repressed, gender dysphoric teenage self could want.

Werewolf never appealed to me. I was in a abusive household, so "rage" wasn't high on my list of things to get out of my gaming. I only read it for the Wyrmlore.

Mage had an interest way of explaining magick. All the various traditions worked because their practitioners believed they worked. There was no "one right way" to do magick. And in order to not break the universe, you had to try for "coincidental magic" like maybe a random storm cloud just happens to strike that guy with lightning instead of it firing out of your fingertips. That was clever.

I really like the Mummy rules and lore, but I didn't want to play as one. How they differentiated themselves from Vampires was quite a cool little dip into Egyptian mythology.

I was too religious at the time to even consider buying a book about how to play a Demon. That didn't stop me from buying "The Book of the Wyrm" for Werewolf, though. That book was pretty bleak. I literally hid it in a drawer to keep it from "influencing" me.

Changeling was definitely interesting but, honestly, it didn't seem to fit in with any of the other books. It felt like it was written for a completely different universe.

And Wraith didn't appeal to me enough to buy the book after one of my friends bought it instead. I liked some of the concepts that were expanded upon like what the Lasombra are actually connecting to when they use their shadow abilities.

Why not Hunter? Well, who wants to play a non-supernatural character in a universe filled with them? It would be very difficult to make that feel "worth it". I know, Hunters can have faith-based powers, but that's not the same. Also, the Hunters were often just wrong about things or kind of close enough. I had all the books. I knew the "truth" in universe and trying to pretend I didn't would just feel silly.

Girl and Her Demon
You know Guardian Angels, but what of those cast off no one else will help? One cast-off might protect another, and the feeling could be mutual.

This is an NPC I made from Demon: the Fallen - a demon and the abused girl they possessed. I drew it in the girl's perspective, as if she'd used office supplies around.
