#How many ocs are vampires that are based off of white winged vampire bats and have mini bangs?

[bagelsoep]

Hmmmm vampire girl OC. Don't know her name yet but she could friends with that cat human hybrid oc I made

Or maybe she could be in another OC story I guess. I'm not sure I'll think about it

[kerberosstyxnixcharonandhydra]

I would wish to see

OK OH LORD THIS IS GONNA BE LONG, some is stuff discussed w/ my pal @idiotv2 and some is just mine (we each have our own versions but there's some stuff shared so!)

without further adieu: These are kinda old lol. I'll be doing an eventual post about their USC interpretations

ALL:

yeah theyre all related in this one.

They're also all italian immigrants!

There is a front related to each one (Charon's Ferry - clothing store | and i cannot remember the others tbh. kerby's was a trampoline park tho. they go feral in there)

ALL SOME FLAVOR OF NB (they/them) and all of them aroace...except hydra who is the token allo /hj

all our cogs have some slight basing on animals so. furries the lot of them (affectionate)

All have some form of bone/joint/frame/shell issues (The head attorney does too) <- that's their Zizi btw (italian gender neutral for aunt/uncle figures)

All lost their shells but in different ways

(Left is relationships, right is an old reference with their shells + my friend's oc joey. hes funney i like him.)

Charon:

the oldest and tallest

got put into a leadership position but would rather not TM

I'm pretty sure that with their shell Charon was considered to be pretty attractive

Wolf based, i believe they're a timberwolf but we may not have been that specific

Our designs and HC's diverge around when they all lose their shells so -- Charon (to me) becomes a spotlight thing

(Based on the light almost looking like a moon and how wolves howl, and them not wanting to be IN the spotlight)

legal surname is Christy

Gorgon thing also, can reflect damage back at you. maybe also turn you to stone if you step into the beam of light and theyre MAD)

SO SCARED OF BUGS THEY CRY AND GAG AND THROW UP IN THEIR MOUTH (i joke but they are terrified)

COFFEE SNOB

Lost shell due to illness (from their Zizi)

Styx:

Second oldest/second tallest

The affair child TM (this is unfortunately true!)

Their animal was a hyena and boy they laugh like one

THEY ARE ALSO A DHAMPIR (male vampire and human woman) or the rough equivalent. the trait of fucked up bones appears in frame issues x2!

used to do ballet for fun in italy, fell and fucked up their foot/leg so bad they had to stop (it also required a transtibal amputation)

they have a wheelchair for bad days, but often use forearm crutches, or a cane + prosthetic (styx and graham and the foreman in the prosthetic legs club)

NO ACCENT BTW. i cannot stress this enough their voice is a dead monotone with no accent or inflection

Surname is Showalter, despite relation to Charon

DOES IN FACT DRINK BLOOD SOMETIMES. and has a life drain ability (i think it should be through their voice and this is my HC list even though i share many w/ my friend)

Showed a few symptoms of the same illness and skipped right to "get this thing off me NOW before it gets worse"

Nix:

The forgotten middle sibling (REAL) who has a passive cheat that makes people unable to sense their presence (They are a cognitohazard)

This can be rectified if you're around them a lot, but it fucks up your brain forever pretty much. They can also amplify the effect to sneak around if they want (but machines like automatic doors and cameras also forget they exist)

Almost perfectly identical to the head attorney, even when they had shells

They use this to fill in for Nyx (originally when Nyx was too ill to work even after using sick days) and they now intend to go to law school

They're why everyone hates lawbots bc they would give fake CnD's and court orders

Weird bird/cat/bat hybrid thing. cat with feathery wings (and they have white patches which are remnants of their freckles)

Surname is Christy

my freak child with an eating disorder (due to derealization and the feeling that "well im not real why bother" yeah cosmos doesnt take kindly to that.)

Weird luck powers. once made buck roll BAR 7 times in a row just by looking at him weird

Also lost shell bc of illness.

Kerberos:

doberman pinscher (parents weren't going to straighten their ears but i assume another family member did under the guise of getting their ears pierced. sickness and despair in the world

SO PROTECTIVE OF HYDRA FOR REASONS THAT ARE SO FUCKED

conspiracy theorist (but not in a fucked up way, in a funny way. like cryptid hunting) (theyre also so oblivious. we had a joke about them asking THE PERSON THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT about... well themself, without knowing)

One time Hydra got dumped on their doorstep at 8 years old and they never got a moment of peace since (they were like idk 10? 11??)

can obtain messages thru electronic signals ("MOOOM THE TV CALLED ME A BITCH AGAIN" "lol youre so imaginative")

Surname is Showalter

GOT HIT BY A TRAIN AND THEIR SHELL BROKE APART

HYDRA:

IDIOT BLACK CAT ENERGY

The shortest and youngest, but oh so feral

talked to god once we dont need to focus on that

IMMIGRATED ON ACCIDENT I CANT STRESS THAT ENOUGH

kind of a brat but in a PTSD way (neglectful/abusive parents)

"mommy why do you have beef with me im 4"

had 2 imaginary friends growing up, a greek fish who's name translated to Jabberwocky, and a talking house (both are in fact real dw about)

their parents didnt wanna immigrate but they were 8 and didnt understand so after a tantrum their parents packed a suitcase and dropped them with kerberos

they also didnt get a chance to learn english for for like the first few months they only spoke italian (and some greek)

vessel of fate sort of.

Surname is... well they legally changed their name to be.... hydra Hydra. after the mario movie (the live action one) where mario's surname is also mario. theyre wacky.

lost their shell in a drunk driving accident (the designated driver was drunk and drove them right into another car head on)

anyways have some funneys

The Miraculousona No One But Me Asked For

Fair warning I had not looked at any other bat based Miraculous OC's so any similar features are purely coincidental. If a particular name or feature is a reference to something it will be stated. If you have a bat based Miraculous OC and would like a feature of mine to be changed, I will gladly do so

Civilian Name: Dee

Hero Name: Blood Moon (name taken from Bloody Moon Vampire by Sakuma Rei from Ensemble Stars which is bop and you should be listening to it if you like jazz

Miraculous: Bat

Kwami: Busu

Miraculous Jewelry: Industrial bar earring

Physical Appearance:

Height: 5'2

Hair Color: Brown

Eye Color: Brown

Skin Color: Pale

Civilian and Hero Appearance:

Hair: Slightly curly, stops just short of the armpit. Bangs cut and swept to the left side, sometimes covering the left eye with no noticeable curls

Clothing: White v neck t-shirt, army green half jacket, dark blue jeans and knee high black boots with 3 inch heels, jewel studded earrings and one industrial bar earrings on the right ear

Hero Costume: Dark brown skin tight suit with slightly transparent batlike wings that stretch to the wrist and end at the waist. At the feet from 1/2in wedge heels. A white fur collar forms at the collarbone, starting and ending at the end of the clavicle and grows bushier the closer to the back of the neck. A whip wraps around the waist at the end of the wings. Hair is tied into a ponytail that locks into a single coil held by a ribbon that sticks upwords, mimicking bat ears. Bangs are clipped back to the center of the head and out of the way. Face is covered by a mask of the same color as the costume that only covers the eyes and cheekbones, at the ends of the mask are two 'fangs'. Eyes and Scalia turn red when in costume and eyes gain cat-like slits

Miraculous Jewel: A charm set on an industrial bar earring. When dormant the earring is silver, when activated the earring is black. On the activated earring the charm has a bat motif divided into five parts that are shown in various shades of red. After the power has been used, the separate sections turn silver

Powers and abilities:

Superpower: Echolocate. Allows the holder to search for a target object of their choosing within a 20 mile radius. This power works on living and inanimate objects

Gliding: Wings allow for gliding but not flight

Nightvision: The holder gains the ability to see in the dark, completely ignoring that almost all bats have terrible eyesight

Personality:

As Blood Moon, she refers to herself as an 'old soul' and speaks like a cryptic old woman. She takes her hero work seriously, but is not immune to throwing out a random joke or two and enjoys hanging upside down off of tall objects like flag poles or tree branches. Her moral sense of right and wrong can at times blind her from seeing the whole picture, which can lead her to blame a victim if she believes they are the culprit and has a quick, nasty temper

As a civilian, Dee tends to keep to herself typically in places where she doesn't know many people or is generally uncomfortable. She is however easily excited and can talk for hours about her favorite things, most typically whatever anime she's into at the moment. Her moral sense of right and wrong along with her quick temper is shared trait in both her civilian and hero persona's

Kwami:

Name: Busu

Physical Appearance: A brown batlike Kwami with a large head, wide red eyes and stubby fingerless arms and toeless legs. Bat wings stretch to the ends of his arms and stops at the waist

Favorite food: Strawberries

Personality: Busu is calm and collected Kwami that spends most of the day sleeping and is more active at night. He acts as a pearl of wisdom should his holder be awake to hear his teachings. Known for having a flare for the dramatic, Busu likes to over dramatize his own teachings in hopes they stick better. He also says dumb things that make him sound like an old man when not preaching about how strawberries aren't berries or something of the like which Dee picked up on. When sleeping, Busu hangs upside down off shelves or raptures

Transformation Phrase (in English): Busu, Moon Rise

Detransformation Phrase (in English): Busu, Moon Set

Kwami-Holder Relationship:

Dee and Busu have a parent-child like relationship. Busu makes sure that Dee isn't over working herself as Blood Moon and makes sure she gets her work done. Dee thinks Busu sounds like a crazy old man during half of his teachings but eagerly listens to his experiences with past holders and events in history he's experienced. Busu affectionately calls Dee his pup

Trivia: 

Before anyone asks, yes I really do wear knee-high boots with 3 inch heels regularly because I am that insecure about my height and what can I say I look good in boots

The cryptic old woman/man speak is another Sakuma Rei reference and y'all should be stanning UNDEAD

While Blood Moon is based on a vampire bat (and Sakuma Rei), Busu is based on a fruit bat

Busu's name comes from the Japanese Yokai Nobusuma which in reality resemble more of Japanse Giant Flying Squirrels than bats

Busu's beta name was originally 'Tenn' from a lesser used Japanese word for bat, Tenso. This however was too obvious of an IDOLiSH7 reference hence the change

The Bay By Night

tbbn

POV Characters

[Tony Ross] is a new Anarch and turned only last year during a Sabbat attack, which took the life of his older brother, a loss he’s still reeling from as he struggles to pull himself free from his brother’s shadow. Tony soon finds himself at the center of a dizzying web of politics as his gang’s leader (the idealistic orator, Everett Smith) sets himself against the new Camarilla overlords. Without a place to turn and trapped between the sly Valentine and rebellious Anarchs, he strives to protect his still-human sister from the vampires who surround her. (Black and gay protagonist, family devotion, living a life true to self)

[Matthew Monroe] is a charismatic and honourable Camarilla loyalist, eager to stake out territory and titles amidst the fresh land rush. His sire’s death fifty years ago set him free, but the wounds of his century of abuse are still fresh. Ever since, Monroe’s struggled for respect and honest friendship among the selfish vampires. He finds grudging acceptance among his clan and, for the first time in the last 174yrs, power begins to flow into his lap. Monroe longs to set things straight, but the elders’ game of shadows isn’t kind to those with things to lose -- like his dear ghoul and adopted childer. (abused protagonist, unequal love, good intentions and looking down the road to hell)

[Annabelle Hawthorne] is an heirloom ghoul with more than two centuries of service under her. The countless decades serving monsters has burned the appearance of humanity from her with a cold wind. Once, she served Monroe’s sire, and now him. Monroe’s a far kinder regent, but a master nonetheless. He allows her to attend university and associate regularly with mortals and his unwitting herd, who she fiercely defends from her regent who preys on them. While Monroe approaches her for an earnest friendship, Annabelle’s good friend (James Ritter, elder ghoul of the influential Jan Pieterzoon) searches for a way to escape the chains of blood that emotionally enslave and physically addict ghouls to their vampiric masters. (addiction, slavery, what it means to be human)

[Nathaniel Hawke] was once an infamous vampire hunter, feared from San Francisco to Miami. In New York, he pissed off one too many, who turned him as punishment. Animated by the quasi-sentient Beast of vampire blood, he’s unable to end his life and struggles to find his fellow hunter (Joan Schubert, a Catholic inquisitor).to help him. Along the way he discovers he can feed on vampire blood, but depends on the patronage of a powerful elder of the Bay to protect him. One of the elder’s brood (the eternally cheerful Kathy Weise) takes him under her bat wing and, much to his discomfort, he begins to learn about the monsters he’s spent fifteen years slaying. (found sister/brother, man vs self, the meaning of good and evil)

[Chelsea Reed] is the proud and cunning leader of a pack among the dread Sabbat, a blood cult who revels in their undead nature. With the recent loss of New York to the Camarilla, the Sabbat are compelled to turn their heads westward and the warlord (Polonia) takes her with him as a personal templar. Chelsea struggles as she comes into her own with powers of shadow, but the Abyss worms its way into her mind, even as the priest of her own pack deals with foul dreams and being tormented by a far greater force. (mentally ill protagonist, found family, urban fantasy guerrilla war)

Background knowledge

Disclaimer: The Bay By Night is based on White Wolf’s Vampire the Masquerade RPG system and the world’s history. Some things have been retconned or streamlined to make more sense and all the characters and plot are original.

The Sects

There are three major factions of vampires (or kindred, as the civilized ones like to call themselves) that were formed during the Inquisition in response to humanity hunting them down.

Camarilla. Somewhere between Mafia and a royal court, they’re the Big Brother cabal who steeples long thin fingers together and says “Eggcellent” in an obscure European accent. Steeped in subterfuge, arrogance, scheming, backstabbing, favours, and with a glass ceiling about three feet high for the average fledgling. The dominant sect of vampires around the world and, by and large, lawful and peaceful if you don’t fuck with the elders who’ve ruled it like quasi-benevolent dictators since men wore tights.

Sabbat. They’re the inheritors of Caine’s legacy (of “Caine and Abel”, the First Murderer) and they weren’t going to start kowtowing it to any elder. After all, the end is neigh and when Caine rises again, he’s gonna want to start devouring those elders who pissed him off eight thousand years ago by siring the clans (those 13 elders are myths in modern times, told like stories from the Bible in culturally Christian America). In the modern nights, the Sabbat are a murderous blood cult steeped in mysticism and a deep worship for Caine and contempt for humanity.

Anarchs. The ones who thought the Sabbat were nuts. Anarchs just wanna be free, man. Don’t want no one telling them what to do or how to live or where to eat or when they gotta face sunrise. So long as they agreed to be peaceful and follow the Cam’s rules, they were allowed the protection of the Camarilla. From 1944 - 1966, they rebelled in California and established the Anarch Free States: hundreds of small baronies run by gangs where the only law was “every vampire for themselves”. With the Sabbat breathing down from Sacramento, the Baron by the Bay turned desperately to the Camarilla, who were only too happy to help repel an attack.

The Siege of New York (2008 - 2010)

Sabbat has claimed New York as a stronghold since before it was New Amsterdam, but during the Great Depression a brave Camarilla prince staked a claim in Manhattan. She struggled valiantly, fighting a war nightly, but it became too much.

Prince Michaela pled at a conclave for assistance. New York had been a lost cause for centuries and the cautious elders scoffed at the plea. Matthew Monroe, a born gambler and opportunist, pledged to uphold her claim to the ends of his life.

He called in a favour from another prince and tipped the first domino by taking the case of New York to the justicar of his clan, the Ventrue Justicar Lucinde. She deployed her agents and Monroe played runner between allies who loathed each other.

Jan Pieterzoon, a key strategist, was sent on behalf of his sire, the Camarilla Founder Hardestadt. Pieterzoon and Monroe worked close the next two years, as Pieterzoon humiliated the Sabbat leadership of New York and captured the city. The Sabbat power base and Polonia’s pride, stretching from Miami to Conneticut, now had a gaping hole where the crown jewel once sat.

The justicars swooped in and claimed credit, dividing the city among esteemed elders and their childer, giving their agents and strategists a pat on the head.

Pieterzoon accepted the plea from the Anarch Baron by the Bay and surreptitiously asked Monroe to come with him to San Francisco, personally offended but unsurprised at how Monroe had been treated.
