#Vampire General lore is bonkers tho

[spravdiukr]

I love succession match so much, good god. Literally everything about it is flawless from Keito and Rei’s chemistry to the fact that decided to tackle discrimination against immigrants and did it with Respect⭐️ Adonis and Rei, my beloveds❤️

Some screenshots I want to preserve here:

Also, decided to go for multiple copies of a card for the first time, because my mental illness towards Rei is that strong

so my Adderall Brain ™ decided to look into vtm lore and history even tho i know nothing about the game (and still don’t) but like. briar mary methuselah au? what would she be like as an elder vampire?

Mary in later vampire life is something I really love thinking about, as when you can live forever perceptions of morality can start warping and bitterness/nihilism/general jadedness set in HARDCORE.

When it comes to a methuselah AU things for Mary can go a couple ways - if we go with the ‘got turned a thousand years ago and is fourth/fifth gen and knew clan founder personally’ that’d make her either a Niktuku or someone on the run from them.

tl;dr Nosferatu’s clan founder, Abismiliard, was a handsome young hunter who got a scar on his face when he was turned into a vampire, threw a fit of rage and did a lot of murder, so he and his bloodline were cursed to be hideous. Absimiliard and a group of his favored children (the Niktuku) now hunt down all Nosferatu in either vengeance or hopes of redeeming themselves to God. If she was that old and keeping her in character she’d be on the run from them and might pull a Baba Yaga (in WoD, a nosferatu in a similar situation) and just set up in some far flung wilderness and retreat completely from all human society. She’d probably be a little bonkers from the isolation and utterly terrifying to stumble across.

Another fun avenue is one a pal of mine went with for their fledgling, in that in Bloodlines it’s implied big papa vamp Caine himself is chilling in LA and a lot of wild things are going down - there’s theories that the player character’s levelling up is actually them being artificially brought closer in generation to Caine, methuselah style. If Mary had that amount of power but a newborn vampire’s mindset it’d be VERY interesting. She could theoretically just forcefully take over the city herself, but she’d probably just use her strength to get herself free of Camarilla nonsense and go off to explore the world as a very hard to kill (and hard to see!) vampire instead.

If we’re going with it’s the year 3000 thing, normal very old Mary depends on how unlife treats her. In the best course, she’d still be pretty removed from humanity and vampire society as a whole - she might take on a mentorship role and would probably end up having a few childer of her own to influence by that point. Mary’s very curious about vampire history and the state of being so she’d have a pretty beefy knowledge base by that point. Her care would be fixated more on vampires in her circle than humans at that point because she likely wouldn’t remember what it was like to be human.

I hope this makes sense, my brain’s a lil’ fuzzy today! It’s a fun question.
