I love the animation of Kibellah's blade dance abilities. How she twirls around, leaping across the battle field leaving a bloody trail of fallen and dismembered enemies. I don't know, but it reminds me a lot of a ballerina's moves, albeit a really deadly one. A danse macabre.

Anyway, I want a ballerina music box but with Kibellah spinning on top of it. Dream merch.

The Rogue Trader and her Death Cult Assassin Bodyguard, Shadow, Blade... and possibly more...

While doing this piece a thought just occurred to me... Pairing my Noble!RT with Kibellah is basically the "bodyguard romance" trope found in countless ye olde romance novels... I wonder if Cassia had read one like that...

Bonus (some fluff ^w^) ⤵

A dark, looming figure often accompanies the Lord Captain, and no, it's not one of those two repulsive xenos that the Rogue Trader has taken in as pet... This woman dons the regalia of the flagship's death cult - the Bloodspun Web, covered in purity seals and more often than not, to the High Factotum and his exotic pelt rug's dismay, dripping in blood. Rumour has it, even when you could not see her with your naked eyes, she's still there, eyes peeled, watching over the Rogue Trader and ready to dispatch any threats to her Domin's life.

Where the Rogue Trader goes, she follows. Nothing is off limits when it comes to security, so don't act surprise when you find the Spinner stationed in the Lord Captain's private chambers. Scared the grox shit out of the Master of Ablution more than once with that vanishing-then-appears-out-of-void-knows-where act. Still, it is useful, when perils of the wrap manifest on board during the long travels through Immaterium. There has been more than one incident where those daemons spawn its damned self right inside the Lord Captain's chamber.

Small wonder why none dares to try for her Ladyship's affections, when such terrifying figure is right next to her every waking moment. Truly, it must be lonely on top.

Hmmm... Unless...

I made a piano arrangement of "Sparks in the Dark" from Rogue Trader, also known as the music that plays during romance scenes 💜

You… were born on a world and absorbed a hive's scents. I would have remembered someone who smelled like that. I do not know you.

I really like the game's descriptions of the dark eyes that runs in the Erebis family, how Xioni Erebis' eyes are darker than the night sky. Kibellah's own eyes were described as dark multiple times in the game up to that point, so the moment the Erebises showed up on Dragonus with those eyes and the same yee yee ass haircut... I pieced things together pretty quickly...

#MonthOfDarkness - Day 07 - False Tales (prompt list)

Word goes around, and it goes around fast, especially once it escapes the mouth of a harpy. Is it true? Who knows! Is it scandalous? Most certain. Do you feel like you're being led to think a certain way about that certain thing? Definitely. Try to be on the good side of the local harpies, or find out the consequence. There are more than one way to die...

#MonthOfDarkness - Day 01 - The Protagonist (prompt list)

Late to the party but hey, I made a prompt list so I should do some of them, right?

Earlier this year I completed a Game Design course & created a design document for a vampire bartending visual novel. (posted about it here!)

These were the concept art of the hypothetical game's protagonist - the bartender & their outfit. The colour scheme is a little meh on the left and practicality of the one on the right is... questionable...

Alternate prompts for WoD #MonthOfDarkness

While I understand the intention of this year's list is to end up with a full reference sheet for your player character by the end of the month, I felt like the "Your OC's" prompts were a little restrictive for me.

The alternate prompt features a more "open to interpretation" approach, seen in the last few years' Month of Darkness, while still remains somewhat similar in content to the official prompts (My OC's biggest dream -> Grand Ambition -> Could be grand ambition of anyone in your story, the Prince, your character, your sire's, doesn't have to just be of your character anymore).

I do have to admit the only WoD game I know the best of is Vampire, so the prompts might lean a little that way...

More details + plain text version under the cut:
