#Portland by night

[anarchswild]

a Merry Christmas to my VtM group, @dapperbasil and @prettycatgirlwinter! This year I drew and printed out stickers of the Royal Flush Coterie as their assigned card suits with personalized clan symbols.

There's been a lot of change and reveals over the last two years of the chronicle, and it's fun to showcase that in a single drawing.

4 memes that perfectly encapsulate your OC

Nobody tagged me for this meme but I wanted to do it anyway so I am. Anyone else who wants to and wasn't tagged take this as your free tag.

For my favorite Ventrue failgirl, Tammy:

a view of Reid from tonight..... Tammy has a derangement that lets her see kindred auras, usually black and white relating to some morality or crime of theirs. Reid's was red.

He's a Brujah being directed by his Beast right now, and it's making itself known.

When you're hunted by the woman who took everything from you, all you can do is protect what you have left.

in the lonely hearts club job leverage asks the question "does romantic love exist?" and answers it by having eliot buy parker a venus fly trap on hardison's behalf, expecting no recognition and revealing eliot remembers a throwaway comment parker made on their second job together.

we all know this.

but was anybody going to tell me hardison already had a browser window open looking for restaurants to buy eliot in portland in response at the start of the episode immediately after that? or was i supposed to figure it out on a rewatch all by myself?!

There we have it, the extended coterie + multiple guests in their Masquerade Elysium outfits! They all had a (mostly) fun night, and several of them will be waking up with leftover Vicissitude to undo.

Never let me convince you that I can do a 10 character costume design project with a time limit ever again.

Today, November 12th marks two years since the start of our v20 chronicle. We've been playing as Tammy King and Reid Thomel for two years now, and we have absolutely loved sharing our story with these two characters with you ever since.

In celebration of our chronicle, I present for you a prequel, what led to Tammy meeting Reid and going through all the ordeals that she has found herself in ever since entering the city.

[mountainashfae]

For over an in-game month Reid has been like a taut rubberband and is this close to finally snapping if someone says the wrong thing to him. Considering what all has happened recently and the fact he's about to be thrown in a house with a bunch of kindred he doesn't know well, it might finally happen.

[mountainashfae]

Now getting to introduce the Brujah Tammy found, Reid Thomel. I've got several others but Reid is my special boy.

If Tammy is a bad fit for Clan Ventrue, then Reid is the exact same for Clan Brujah. Most Ventrue Brujah you have ever seen. He's overly polite, is up to owning and running 2 businesses now, and does his own taxes. Not to mention some derangements he's picking up.

He was impulsively embraced after making a dumb bet in a game of poker, and his sire didn't even give him the Kiss to ease the experience. But his sire taught him the barest of basics and jumped town to Portland. Reid proceeded to break the masquerade within the week, get blood bonded to a Toreador ancilla, and was hiding out for about 5 years before the Camarilla took over San Diego and kicked him out the city.

While Tammy is struggling with her agoge, Reid is busy trying to get his footing in a Camarilla city when he's starting from nothing. He's only barely not a Caitiff, knew absolutely nothing about kindred society before driving from San Diego to Portland, and is just collecting social blunders and blood bonds. If there's anything in his favor, the Sheriff has decided to start raising him up as an assistant and he keeps getting brought in to help fight against the Sabbat and Pentex. He's also dating that one Toreador who blood bonded him (oops) and has the romantic attention of a Tremere.

Also yes, you are reading that image right. Those are his stats and disciplines.

now that I’ve gone on a following spree of wod blogs I can start my TRUE evil agenda:

tell me about your wod ocs. that’s an order I want to see them I love love love wod ocs

The Martini has been watching over the holidays in Portland since the 60s or 70s, the articles I've read vary about how long it's been there.
