Noble Vampires: Elle DeVampiro, Inna Cents, Vlad Bloodvein

(These are all clearly corny vampiric pseudonyms, aren't they?)

As you can see, I strayed pretty far from their original designs, especially with Elle and Vlad! As they fit into the context of my story, I see them as among the oldest and most elite vampires in Forgotten Hollow. They're all nobles from different eras and so were used to being waited on hand and foot, which didn't change when they became vampires. They've always been surrounded by a coterie of human thralls and lesser vampires who fulfill their every need so they never have to lift a finger.

But there are certain consequences to this eternal life of luxury. As vampires grow older, their powers can grow more potent - but the opposite is also true. If they allow their mental and physical capabilities to languish, they stagnate and eventually atrophy, leading to visible deterioration. These three are extremely delusional and out of touch with reality. They live in their own little fantasies, fully believing they look every bit as flawless and regal as they ever did even as the cracks are very much starting to show. Although their age and status intimidate younger vampires and they have their little "hazing rituals" for newborns, they're ultimately quite harmless.

Inna Cents - townie makeover

Inna Cent appears in trailers and promos for  The Sims 4: Vampires and could be load from Maxis gallery. I was pretty upset she was not an official townie of  Forgotten Hollow, cause there is smth interesting in her backstory and relationship with a sassy vampire Caleb. Anyway I can imagine my own LORe for her.

Occult sims are most fun to makeover because you can play with fashion and choose for them the most unusual and non-realistic fits. For Inna I choose some looks inspired by Biedermeier\Victorian period, because she probably was turn in to vampire at second half of 19th century. And her prototype surely was Lucy Westenra (from 'Dracula' 1992). But I add to her kinn list two fictional ladies who's also like yellow and historical dresses - Edith Cushing (Crimson Peak) and Belle (Beauty and the Beast) which suits more to her shinny and gentle personality and fashion choices. Roses and butterflies as symbols of her innocent soul

I'm trying not to change face features and keep the original EA genetics. But I changed Inna's skin and make her more pale. Because for me she is not alive anymore and can't be that peachy pink, because her blood system doesn't work. And I hope this doesn't look like 'white washing'

trick or treat

Unfortunately I don't think I'll have a chance to get everyone done, but I've got most of my costumes below :)

L and morgyn as elphaba & glinda

caleb & lilith as luke & leia

in my canon, Lilith's birth name is Leia!

vlad, vlad, inna, elle, & dillon as the bloodvein-cents-devampiro-nox-straud addams family

vlad straud as uncle fester (yes, that's literally just his normal dark form)

vlad bloodvein as Thing

inna cents as Wednesday (the Wednesday we never knew we needed, the Wednesday we all deserve)

elle devampiro as morticia

dillon devampiro as gomez

I feel like Inna is the Wednesday that Wednesday has always wanted to grow up to be. Fuck being witchy when you can be a spooky vampire instead!

ethren, tess, & keisha as oberon, titania, & puck

i feel like keisha forgot she'd agreed to dress up with the others and had to quickly throw a fairy costume together.

i've noticed that particular costume dress looks phenomenal on extremely buff men. ethren and dillon both have their fitness bars maxed out and they both rock it.

samantha and brandy as princess cordelia & her pirate lover

baby gays 😭😭😭

I'm actually going as Morticia this year. I know I'm unreasonably obsessed with the DeVampiros at the moment, but my fiance picked the costumes before I could tell him about the household 😂

January 12

Naya Grant can't believe her good fortune, she's scored exclusive interviews with vampire actress, Inna Cents, who never grants interviews in a personal setting. Until now. Inna has become a style icon of sorts, in the eyes of many, especially since she hasn't settled into the usual fashion of vampires.

After formal introductions, the two females sit down in Naya's office to begin the first interview out of a series of four. Naya prefers to record any interview with a tape recorder instead of jotting down notes.

"First and foremost, recently you let go your stylist, Izzy Fabulous. What was your thought process behind that?" Naya asks Inna, they had already gone through the normal questions about her origins. Common questions, now she wants to get into the meat of her first piece on Miss Cents.

"Izzy is brilliant at what he does and there's no ill will there, but I want a chance to speak for myself with my style choices. I think it's time." Inna comments, besides Izzy had only been dressing her for events with heavy input from her. But she isn't going to disclose that information. 

The interview continues with basic style and fashion related questions. Inna decides to turn the tables a little and asks her interviewer a question.

"Do you know many vampires, Mrs. Grant?" Inna asks, wanting to know if Mrs. Grant has any knowledge of her kind or if she's going to have to give the blonde a crash course. 

"A few. My brother-in-law and his sister. Also my sister-in-law's doctor is a vampire." Naya comments, usually she's not asked questions but maybe Miss Cents is asking this to gage what she knows of vampires for when the topic comes up later on in the following interviews. 

Grant. Brother-in-law is a vampire.

It hits Inna just who she is sitting across from. "How interesting."

Previous / Next

The Top Dog

Vladislaus Straud:

Founder of Forgotten Hollow, de facto ruler

Lilith’s estranged (it’s complicated) sire

Enjoys lurking (read: eavesdropping) from afar

Cagey about his past, claims not to recall his years as a human (if he ever was one?)

Rumblings of discontent with his antiquated  ways

Empire may be crumbling (if rotting, junk-filled castle is any indication)

(Lilith: And that god awful crow! It’s got to be as old as he is. Christ, the racket it makes!)

Veronica Aurelius:

Straud’s new protege (niece?)

Related through a distant bloodline (Lilith: Allegedly.)

Accomplished artist, historian, medium

Dreams led her to Forgotten Hollow (Lilith: Doubtful.)

Lilith’s replacement? (Lilith: He wishes.)

(Caleb: She looks sweet, but there’s a vicious streak beneath that glossy veneer.)

-

The Old Guard (Lilith: In other words, Straud’s minions.)

Elle DeVampiro, Inna Cents, Vlad Bloodvein:

aka The Nobles (Lilith: Fossilized Bitch, Slightly Less Fossilized Bitch, and The Inferior Vlad.)

Council of ancients who guard town’s borders from human trespassers

View vampirism as elite society: only most deserving should be initiated

Have hazing rituals to weed out weaklings

Never-ending blood supply flows from mysterious sources

Eternal life of ease has left them physically weakened, social status protects them

(Helena: Hazing rituals?

Caleb: Mind tricks. Intimidation tactics. Like humans, newborn vampires can be manipulated.

Lilith: Stop scaring her! A strong breeze could knock them over.)

Claudius and Marie Bouvet:

aka The Occult Hunters

Hunt spellcasters for their power

Hunt “exotic” occults (mermaids, aliens, fairies, etc.) to siphon and sell blood, consumed as an indulgent luxury

(Helena: Wait, you’re telling me mermaids and aliens are real?

Caleb: We exist. Is it really so hard to believe they do too?)

Hunt werewolves for sport (owing to centuries-long feud)

Sometimes hired to kill vampires if deemed a threat to community’s existence

(Helena: Werewolves!

Lilith: They smell like wet dog and taste awful.

Caleb: That hardly gives us the right to kill them.

Lilith: Oh, so we should just let them kill us?)

Elizabetha Bathoris:

aka The Gossip Hound (Lilith: She deserves a far nastier title. Sanctimonious cunt.)

Forgotten Hollow’s premier shit-stirrer

Rumored to bathe in virgins’ blood

Delights in spilling secrets that aren’t hers to tell

Loudly claims to be Straud’s “one who got away,” though unconfirmed by man himself

(Lilith: [scoffs] There’s only room for one delusional narcissist in that household.

Caleb: Lilith, please. At this rate, we’ll never finish.)

Carmela Castellano:

Owns sprawling private vineyard in countryside where Forgotten Hollow and Windenburg meet

Crafts exclusive (and expensive) blood vintages

Known for frequently dipping into her own supply

Hoped to raise adoptive daughter Pandora as protege

However, Pandora’s rebelliousness has led to household tensions

(Lilith: Nothing rivals the rush of feeding, but her blends come damn close.)

-

The Enigmas (Lilith: No one knows shit about them, and that’s how they like it.)

Dorian Vasile:

Born vampire, not transformed

Agoraphobic recluse, never seen to leave ruined cottage

Once prominent member of vampire society with many friends — and enemies

Fatal end to human love affair rumored to have led to voluntary isolation

Griselda Oreolo:

(Caleb: I wouldn’t recommend wandering any graveyards at night unless you want to meet The Bride.

Helena: The Bride?

Caleb: She can be quite ruthless.

Helena: As if I don’t already have enough graveyard-related trauma.)

An aristocrat transformed on wedding day, fated to dwell forever on what could have been

Cemeteries are her favorite hunting grounds

Not one for friendly conversation

Defends self first and foremost, no allegiance to other vampires

Nyx?:

Origins, real name, language unknown

Lurks the forest like a cryptid - quick, silent, and deadly

Known to kill men, disposes of withered bodies like a cat leaving gifts of mice for its owner (Lilith: Honestly, good for her.)

Interrupt mid-hunt at your own peril

-

The Challengers

Emet and Maxima Galvus

Obscenely wealthy tech CEO and “granddaughter”

Whispers they’re both much older than they look, by hundreds or even thousands of years (Lilith: I’ve yet to see any proof of that.)

Seem to purposely cultivate air of mystery, socializing little

Keep small coven as waitstaff

Emet fiercely protective of Maxima, though is he protecting her from world or world from her?

(Caleb: Don’t be dramatic, Lil. Yes, that stare of hers is unsettling, but-

Lilith: There’s nothing more aggravating than a precocious child. I don’t trust her one bit.)

Ulric Blüt and Herta Nacht:

(Lilith: I can’t believe you think they warrant serious inclusion. A delusional brat and his pathetic enabler are hardly a threat.)

A supposed demon overlord in the body of a child and his “14th Seneschal”

Taken deadly seriously by himself and no one else

Boasts Grim Reaper fears him, many assassinations dodged

Except his strangely devoted companion

Companion stealthily observant, formulating plans of her own?

Details of supposed coup TBD

Countess Maria Francisca Flores:

Mad vampire scientist (Lilith: [scoffs] An old woman doing science fair experiments.)

Claims to have transformed herself via scientific methods

Seeks to grow her “House Flores” with new vampires devoted to pursuit of knowledge

Unpublished manuscript on vampire anatomy

Old Guard disapprove, but for now human academics remain steadfast in denial

Currently studying cowplants, which scholars can admit do exist

(Helena: If she turned herself into a vampire, can’t she reverse-engineer a cure?

Caleb: I’ve asked. She’s incredibly tight-lipped about her findings.

Lilith: Because they’re non-existent!)

-

The Next Generation

Beginning in ‘60s and ‘70s, an influx of new vampires into Forgotten Hollow

Old Guard bristle at modernism but grudgingly admit transplants necessary to keep town thriving

Recent turnees or experienced vamps who’d rather evolve with times than stay stuck in past

Tend to form cliques based on shared subcultures

Enjoy mixing with humans, easily mistaken as such by undiscerning eyes (often a deadly mistake)

Less concerned with secrecy, hedonistic, impulsive

(Lilith: “Not coincidentally, shortly after we returned, what was once a trickle became a flood.”)

Example: Grunge Gang

Kiona and Nikan: trouble-making twins, street smart, book stupid

Vonny: stoner type, prefers when meals come to him

Clarissa: paranormal investigator turned paranormally investigated

Tara: wants to be good, surrounded by bad influences

Pandora: favors rock concerts over wine-making

-

Lilith: Did you get all that down? Rest up! The hands-on portion begins tomorrow.

speaking of vampires and werewolves

transcription

Speaking of vampires

caleb apologized to edgar and said he loves him, but also has feelings for inna. he didn’t mean to hurt neither of them.

edgar and inna got to know each o ther better

and the three of them are kind of trying a poly relationship

[dead-lights]

bite club // caleb • dillon • elle • inna • lilith • vlad

gameplay-based render i guess?

in most of my vampire saves, I have either Lilith or Caleb start a vampire club. Because the Vatores are Nice Vampires™ they don't have vampire-related activities on the schedule, but they generally play/listen to music to accommodate Vlad, Elle, and Lilith. This is how meetings typically go - Elle and Lilith take to their instruments, Vlad loiters around to listen, Dillon finds a book and ignores the rest of the group, and Inna and Caleb hang out, often to play chess.

sidenote: once I sold all of the books in the DeVampiro house and replaced them with Wolfgang's books, with the result that Dillon ended up with the werewolf ally trait. I thought that was awesome, so now I just like to do that when I start a new save with them. Dillon gets to have human books once he gets over his bigotry! Please imagine that he is reading Scents and Sensibility or whatever Mr "Mulder" has released recently.
