🐉and 🖊 for everyone pretty please

ty for asking friend! | prompts can be found here if you want to send some

🐉 DRAGON — what is your oc's favorite mythical creature?

For Willow, it is a phoenix. Hands down. It's the one creature she relates to with her latest choices, so it's an easy pick.

Eva's is harder to pinpoint. I think she would straight up not have an answer. She'd eventually mention Will o' the Wisps when pressed, but there's no good reason other than wanting to be done with the question.

Addison however--. We run into a problem here. For the longest time, vampires were her favourite mythical creature. And, well, fuck. Those exist. Hell. She's one. Who's to say whatever she dubs her new favourite mythical creature's not an actual creature too? What she knows to be true has thus been severely shaken and just picking a new favourite mythical creature is hard, okay? Maybe ask her again in seven to ten business days.

🖊️ BALLPOINT PEN — does your oc have any tattoos? do they want any (more) tattoos?

Willow has a few of those very overdone tattoos you saw a lot of in the late 2000s and early 2010s, scattered about. An arrow, infinity symbol. She got them when she first moved to Amsterdam for her education and to break with her upbringing a little bit. She does have an outlined American pasqueflower on her ribcage though, because she never quite could let go of home.

Eva never had the ambition to get tattooed. Didn't match the family image, and she was too busy fitting in line and helping the family business grow to get tattooed. She only started acting out in her late 30s. She does have access to thinblood alchemy, though, so who knows what's in the cards for her in the future!

Addison only has one significant tattoo. She had at least one more tattoo planned, but she was embraced before the appointment had been made. The tattoo she has is the quote "you will be found" on her left inner upper arm, as a reminder of her big break in the New York theatre scene. She was going to get one to signify her performances in Phantom of the Opera, too, but never got the chance. There's a Daeva in her coterie who does tattoos, though, so maybe Maeve can hook her up, if the Phantom has not been eternally tainted by the violence of the start of her requiem.

Nyth 15 and 16 for Nyth....im braindead LOL

15. What is something about your OC can make you laugh?

Nyth is my smallest OC by nearly every dimension, 5'7", 148 pounds, and so on. However, he is the only one that I really invested any fighting abilities in. He's a boxer and could probably take any of my other VTM OCs 1 on 1.

There was one time in a game he even beat a Brujah fledgling into submission as a Thinblood. Pure lucky rolls by me and terrible rolls by the ST, but he eventually burnt through all of his willpower and just couldn't land a hit, so he surrendered because he didn't want to risk the embarrassment of possibly being KOd by a Thinblood.

The fiesty chihuahua energy of Nyth makes me giggle because he can actually backup his bark.

16. What is something about your OC can make you cry?

There isn't really anything about him that would make me cry, but I do get emotional over him. He is a character that I would very close to my heart because it was through him that I really thought of my own gender and sexual identity so it was really good for my soul and if I think on it, it makes me emotional.

OC Deep Dive: Wynter della Passaglia

Art by @surmatants

Tagged and dividers by @diableriedoll, including:

@toreadorcaretaker @mortifying-macaroni @hlozt @informaltorching

@swoomoo @dostoevskybignaturals - Thank you, I love you all so much! <3

What common/uncommon fear do they have?

Wynter has plenty that haunt her. One of her greatest fears is being fully consumed by Aila—a prisoner to the doppelgänger where life moves on without her, and she would be invisible while Lettow neither notices nor cares. Another is that she was truly born wrong, and no one, including Lettow, will ever accept her after knowing the actual monster she is.

Other fears concern her past catching up to her. Firstly, having to face her sire, Violetta/Chiara, whom she burned bridges with and in turn, The Family, who will always want something from her. It’s not a question whether it happens, it’s a question of when. Secondly, she's scared to think if Lucien is dead, as a life without his existence is unimaginable. However, if he is alive, will he show up unannounced and secrets be spilled?

Do they have any pet peeves?

Are you the touchy-feely sort? Don't, just don't. It’s an old habit, but she avoids touch and it takes a lot for her to get accustomed to it. Some never feel right at all. She's also suspicious of people who are friendly or over-familiar, quickly resorting to her death mask, cold-hearted and impassive, emanating an unworldly aura to keep them away. Finally, if you talk too much (looking at you, Julian 🤨), then you’re really asking for a barbed remark that’ll shut you up.

What are 3 items you can find in their bedroom?

... The very same rosary she used to pray with Lucien as a child, hung haphazardly alongside a black satin bra by the dresser.

... An assortment of weapons, including her Nighthawk Custom and a sniper rifle, modelled after her father’s old hunting rifle.

... Stashed within a bundle of clippings is a torn off news piece, yellowing and curled at the edges, in faded print, detailing a terrible incident at her old family mansion.

... (Bonus) An evidence board of suspected Sabbat hotspots in Cairo.

What do they notice first in a person?

Their pulse points and heart rate, where their blood is rushing to, weak spots, what makes them uncomfortable, how do they hurt, what can she use to her advantage?

On a scale of 1 to 10, how high is their pain tolerance?

A pretty high number in general? This girl has had weird bodily aches and pains since young, things that she couldn’t control or understand. On top of that, experiencing the Hecata Kiss as a mortal is quite something. Violetta lingered an extra few, sadistically or not, to remind her of suffering and what The Family could bring if she didn’t take heed. Although Wynter works as a courier, she’s a hunter, first and foremost. She’s had her fair share of battles and the marks to prove it. Finally, Wynter is aware of the immeasurable pain that exists on a different plane to the one we live in.

Do they go into fight or flight mode when under pressure? (or freeze and fawn)

Fight, but she’ll toy with you and do you dirty from the shadows, keeping her distance and waiting for the opportune moment to strike. Don’t worry, she plays the long game and can sure hold a grudge.

What animal represents them best?

A parasite. Wynter has always felt like an entity living in a host, so much so that she’s even jokingly referred to her body as a “skin bag,” or the “skin I wear.” It has a function and purpose, and does the job. This is possibly why she has an interest in the Kuei-Jin, and wishes to find out more about her ancestral ties with them, when the Della Passaglias traded in the Orient.

She also has a methodical approach to things, and the patience to infiltrate without much fanfare. Take the auction house in Night Road for example. Let’s just say she got in and out with what she wanted, no drama except leaving Chiara and Edouard in the dust to argue with each other about whose fault it was for being blindsided.

Others see her as a parasite for latching on to Lettow, enjoying the influence that he has, where she’s the gold digger and he’s her sugar daddy. She pretends not to be affected by this, but wonders if one day she’ll drain him dry.

How would a stranger likely describe them?

“Stuck-up, pale ass bitch who gives me the heebie-jeebies. I swear, I didn’t even see her enter the room and she’s right behind me, standing there like a fucking statue. Would look prettier if she smiled.”

— Individual was found dead later due to an unknown cause.

Do they have any hobbies?

Joyriding in the desert with Elena (and Gretchen?? 😱), long walks in the outdoors (either accompanied by Lettow or alone), collecting scraps and trinkets linked to her past.

gang for @informaltorching

[mortifying-macaroni]

𝔒ℭ 𝔇𝔢𝔢𝔭 𝔇𝔦𝔳𝔢: 𝔊𝔯𝔢𝔱𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔫 𝔊𝔯𝔦𝔪

What common/uncommon fear do they have?

The prospect of being reduced to an underdog stripped of her freedom. She doesn't want to entertain the idea of having her agency trapped in another's clutches again. The Camarilla tried it, however they paid the price.

Do they have any pet peeves?

People with a moral high ground. She's seen her fair share of it throughout life and unlife: from the congregation her mother was a part of to kindred selling their version of idyllic behavior. People who hide behind the pristine wall of self-righteousness are usually the dirtiest scumbags who secretly want to be puppeteers over those they deem "unworthy".

What are 3 items you can find in their bedroom?

CDs from various metal genres (Nu, goth, heavy, thrash, industrial, powermetal,..), a pack of Marlboros and a display case with her collection of daggers- all with various designs.

What do they notice first in a person?

Their vibe. Gretchen can immediately sense whether she'd have an easier or more difficult time getting along with someone. It also helps her determine how honest or fake she should be in their presence.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how high is their pain tolerance?

On a physical scale 11. She can handle shotgun blasts, flaming arrows, getting electrocuted, crashing and falling off her motorcycle (I mean... the girl gets off to having her organs fiddled with during certain 'private times' with her Tzim boo). In short, she's tough as nails, yet refuses to label herself as a masochist.

Emotionally, she'd be a 3. Gretchen is a ticking time bomb ready to combust when pissed off. Two strikes and she'd either bottle it up and save her wrath for the right time or go straight for the jugular within a second (depending on who makes her lose her temper; either way they're going to get what's coming to them guaranteed).

Do they go into fight or flight mode when under pressure? (or freeze and fawn)

Always fight. Whenever she feels cornered then it's full throttle.

What animal represents them best?

A panther. Although Gretchen is a part of a pack, she prefers being a solitary predator. It takes away the pressure of having to ensure their safety at all times despite them being capable of holding their own. Of course, there's her fierce personality that just adds to the similarities she holds with big cats.

How would a stranger likely describe them?

"There's something going on behind those eyes that gives me the chills. I can't tell whether she's pondering about the ways she could eviscerate me or if she's simply not keen on me."

Do they have any hobbies?

Playing guitar (both acoustic and electric), singing, playing video games, collecting daggers, doing nail art, taking her motorcycle "Lemmy" for a spin, honing her blood magic.

8. Describe your worst Messy Critical and/ or Bestial Failure that you've played/ seen/ suffered

The worst I've seen is easy tbh. Not because of the consequences per se - I honestly have no idea anymore what he was even rolling for -, but because of the sheer awe that it even happened. We were playing Midnight Kiss, one of the free new years' scenarios. A friend played a Toreador who had to roll for some thing or another, and he had a dice pool of 13 dice. He was also only on like one or two hunger, so imagine our amazement when he managed to somehow squeeze a bestial failure out of that.
