Disciplines are special vampiric abilities which are usually dependent on Clan. Because of that, you don't choose; each character has their own 3 Disciplines which you can level up. Each character has 1 special Discipline that only they have, and 2 other Disciplines that are shared with 1 other character, adding up to a total of 8 Disciplines across the 3 characters. Each Discipline comes with its own small skill tree with several related abilities that you can unlock.
To get this trophy, you'll need to level any Discipline to the max (level 5) using experience points. In all likelihood, you'll get this in the last few Scenes of the game; probably somewhere around Part 3 of Scenes 09-11.
All Disciplines start at Level 1 and have 5 levels. (Level 1 is free, Level 2 costs 45 XP, Level 3 costs 90, Level 4 costs 120, and Level 5 costs 180.) Counting just the base costs, you would need a total of 435 points to reach Level 5 in any Discipline. That said, you'll never actually spend that much, because all 3 characters will receive numerous bonuses throughout the game that reduce the XP cost necessary for various Attributes and Disciplines. These bonuses usually come from Traits and Resonance bonuses.
