The Alley Cat Predator-type is for those characters that see the need to overcome their prey. This type is perhaps closest to what we see from the majority of our predatory mammals in the wild. A lion will stalk his prey across the plains, inching closer through the tall grass until he is almost upon them, before erupting out into the open and overpowering the poor victim. This overpowering is key to understanding the mentality of the Alley Cat.
As an Alley Cat predator, the vampire is attached to this concept, seeing their victims as needing to be dominated and forced into giving up their blood. This could be indicative of a certain level of arrogance or pride on the part of the vampire, who may feel that their prey are weaker and therefore only fit to be a feeding source.
The Alley Cat is a predator in the most classic sense, approaching their prey, engaging, and overcoming them to be able to take their blood. This is why the vampire is obliged to take a specialty in Intimidation or Brawl, as well as a dot of either Celerity or Potence. These Disciplines are two of the most useful in an Alley Cat's hunting behaviors, but it's also possible that a vampire may actually use Dominate or some other powers to assist in defeating their prey and claiming their meal.
Character Concepts:
The Thug, who was likely a person disposed to robbery during their mortal life; The Athlete, who may have been raised with a mentality of overcoming others to be "the best;" The Bully, who grew up with a motto of "Might makes Right;" The Authoritarian, who may have been in a position of power over others (law enforcement being the most likely). The Serial Killer, who hunts their victims and then prepares for that moment of confrontation that will lead to the kill.
Some Roleplaying Tips:
If you attempt to overpower a potential victim but are beaten back, consider how that might affect your perception of them; perhaps they aren't as weak as you initially suspected, and this may change your decision to feed from them. Have they proven themselves equal enough to walk away with their life?
Have you thought about playing with your food? This is a typical behavior that we see from feline predators, who may hamstring their prey and let them live for a few minutes. This turns the vampire's feeding scene into a visceral and horrifying experience as she savors the helplessness in her victim's eyes for a few moments before ultimately putting them out of their misery.
