God's favourite and the beast

Well at least that what she likes to think.

[etmind]

finally some pictures of characters from vtm

[brainrustle]

@tzimizce's OCs - Quinn and Ferdinand

[feith-rikya]

All these characters are from an RPG campaign called; Gehenna's Gates, set in the world of Vampire The Masquerade. Feel free to ask any questions!

Grace Dahamer has a history of stalking serial killers and becoming a sort of "grupie" to them, always ending up scaring them, driving them even more insane or making them confess just to get to prison and away from him.

Devon, wich he was once one of the most infamous vampire serial killer, has been on list for ages, and Devon can't seem to get rid of him. Grace seems to enjoy any kind of pain or torture, physical and psychological, even if the Lasombra's powers terrify him well... he gets a boner out of it anyway. And if there is something Devon hates, is not having power on someone.

LIzzie will probably have to protect her little psychopath from that Toreador anti-tribu

// Este pasado jueves volví a dirigir mi Crónica de V5 "Crescent City By Night". Continuamos con la tercera sesión de "Morte Ascendō", la partida introductoria de un pj Lasombra en mi Crónica.

Tuvimos un combate bastante animado entre el pj protagonista, Carlos de Montedemo y sus dos aliados, el Padre Manuel de Mendoza y el pirata de la Ashirra Manuel de Montedemo, los 3 miembros del Clan Lasombra pero cada uno con una forma de combatir totalmente diferente, contra una manada de exploradores Sabbat en el interior de la iglesia de St. Augustine, en Tremé (Nueva Orleans)

Conseguimos que el combate acabara prácticamente en 3 asaltos (¡Bien!) y pese a sus heridas, Carlos y sus aliados lograron derrotar y eliminar a 2 de los 3 Sabbat, dejando escapar al más inexperto de ellos.

Hubo una Pifia descomunal mientras Carlos cazaba, que le provocó Máculas en su Humanidad y hubo que resolver una tirada de Remordimiento al final de la sesión, que por suerte superó

La próxima sesión tendrá que, por fin, contactar con alguno de los que le puedan dar algo de información sobre el paradero del enigmático y peligroso "Hombre de Negro"...

How do you feel about the Camarilla

Ah, the old nemesis. The dupes of the ancients...

... or are they merely in the way? Do they merely occupy a space, and resources, that are needed for the greater battle to come?

More of them are believers than they - or we - like to admit. Their sin is not one of ignorance, but of abnegation. They shrug their shoulders at revelation, ask "what of it?" and resume the petty, pointless amusements of the - slave is not the right word. Perhaps prole. They are diverted from stepping into their true potential, from realising themselves, with - what the ancients called bread and circuses. The go-round of gossip, of influence, of debts owed and repaid, of pastimes - endless pastimes - they have all the time in the world, and encourage one another to kill it instead of putting it to use. They are as lulled and as compliant as the herds they shepherd - as below, so above.

In truth? The capacity for that delusion was ripped out of me before my Embrace. I was shown that the life I lived - the human life - the existence of the prole - was nothing but a whisper in the dark. It was taken from me - and I was left on the bridge with nothing but the will to live and transcend.

I should like it noted that it was an officer of the august and humane Camarilla who did this to me.

To be antitribu is a blessing, if one's tribe would hurt one so.

[redratt]

sketch of the three defined characters of the unnamed sabbat pack me and @acheronarcanist have going on (i'm on the spot calling them the Garden Snakes, which makes 0 sense until you think about the implications of that in regards to one of them being named eden and is also the joke that Beatrix would think is funny) Eden on the left is a Lasombra and also the Pack Ductus. she isn't actually as leadership-forward as many ductus are, but that's ok because it works out for the group. she and beatrix ran into one another several times in other packs before they wound up in the same pack (through a series of events that culminated in beatrix killing eden's pack priest, diablerizing him, and taking his position).

Beatrix in the center is a Brujah Antitribu; she's the pack priest and also a spying sort. she's a raging carthian, a rabble-rouser, and basically an establishment nightmare. she thinks it's fun to run around, mingle with the kindred of a city and then really fuck with them to turn them against the camarilla and anarchs both. while some sabbat don't believe in the cause entirely, Beatrix actually does; her faith is entirely genuine and that's what makes her so terrifying and influential. she's entirely unapologetic about what she is, too, and has plans to take the fledgelings of the pack up to Montreal to get them rid of any lingering humanity.

Molly Bratovich on the right is a tzimisce, a bratovich who was embraced for being the one to land a killing blow on a werewolf. she's got a lot of flaws that would damn her in the camarilla or even the anarchs, but she fits in just right among the sabbat. she's the abbot of the pack for one reason: she's really good at finding them food and shelter. she's good at doing vampire things but not very good at human interaction for reasons that are obvious.

i just got struck by the idea for a vtm sao crossover au and im-

[grugular]

My VTM (Vampire The Masquerade) Character William Walker, AKA Matthew Graves, the Lasombra Antitribu Vampire

Concept: A brainwashed puppet gaslit into believing his brother was the reason why he died realizes the truth and conspires to kill his sire.

[y-rhywbeth2]

My trip to Baldur's Gate: Vampire the Masquerade AUs has haunted me all day.

The Dead Three aren't going to translate neatly and should probably be split into different characters covering different aspects of the originals. The Clan of Death is the neatest fit for them overall, but they don't all fit. The Giovanni fit Bhaal best (the Endless Night is basically his ideal, then there's the family money, the fucked up family shit). The scholarly bent of the Cappadocians with the aesthetic of the Harbingers of Skull is Myrkul and followers. Myrkul and Bhaal are too tied to death and undeath, if you take them out of here you lose something. Bane, frankly, is Ventrue with a splash of Lasombra; which does take us out of the box and the succession thing. Luckily their antediluvian is dead as hell as far as anyone can tell, so that's free real estate.

Withers is a fragment of Cappadocius; 'retired' and his one church/clan split in three (they might be pawns though god knows who of); mostly forgotten in the modern nights; seems benign on the surface and then you look closer and he's the world's least trustworthy motherfucker. Jergal has never schemed to eat Ao's soul as far as I know, but I sure wouldn't put anything past him.

Failing that he's the Capuchin... assuming those two are so unrelated, although I'm pretty sure the Capuchin is Lazarus.

-

Haarlep is hosting the succubus club. I will overlook how much it annoys be that 5e stopped the succubus being strictly tanar'ri for the bit.

-

Durge: Extremely low generation Giovanni neonate... or Baali, if you want to go ultimate edgelord. Enjoys the principle of Taboo in their necromancy work too much.

Gale: Has an Oblivion-tainted chunk of Mr 'I Can Totally Eat God's Soul and Replace Him' in his chest, so Cappadocian, I guess. Formerly awakened, but he ignored his avatar when it warned him not to touch The Thing and here we are.

Astarion: World's Worst Tremere Wants Dark Thaumaturgy. So he doesn't have to actually study hermetic mysticism to get the rewards of blood sorcery. And also to be free of the pyramid. Cazador should not be a regent, but alas, he won his certamen against Velioth. And also diablerised him. And made a pact with an Archduke of Hell.

Shadowheart: Setite by faith, Lasombra Abyss Mystic by lineage. Is actually kinfolk to the Children of Gaia, but she neither knows that nor would it help her to know that in any way.

Karlach: Abandoned Gangrel fledgling is taken in by Kind Older Vampire who is Going to Show Her the Ropes and Definitely Not Scheming; This is heart-warming and definitely not going to be tragic. (The horns and tail are permanent frenzy mutations).

Wyll: I got Toreador vibes over here. He's got an insanely high humanity rating, but Mizora's a diabolist and Wyll's caught in the net. Haven't decided whether Mizora or, if I stretch, Ulder is his sire. It's probably Mizora.

Lae'zel: Still thinking on that one, but I do get Sabbat crusader vibes. Ventrue antitribu? I think that fits. She's had heavy modification from a deceased Tzimisce pack mate.

Blood and Silicon ep23: Traitor's Blood

[Summary: On their way back to San Jose, Percy makes a discovery that leads to the coterie needing to collect some extra blood.] @sanguineasylum @kentuckycaverats @zwoelffarben

Retcon Notice: A small bit of last session had been rewritten, in which the moment of Amy sending Leo a text occurred before he faked his death- in addition, he also planted his burner phone on the body.

As we all roll Remorse checks at the start of the session, it's revealed that Percy failed his; our local Ventrue Antitribu is now at 5 Humanity.

It's a quiet drive at first as the boys are lost in thought about the man they killed in order to fake Leo's death. Leo feels awful about it, and is wondering about what kind of person that man was as he holds his hands together, picking at his nail polish. Blake keeps his eyes on the road, trying to appear nonchalant about it all. Percy's reading over some notes he took, quietly malding about the Lasombra's defection to the Camarilla. No one really speaks.

("[The coterie is] all so antisocial!" "I was gonna say we should lock them all into a room and force them to talk, but they're Already kind of locked in a room together and they're Still not saying anything")

At some point during the drive, Leo- in true roadtrip fashion- points out some cows that they're driving past. This prompts Percy to mention he grew up on a farm with his brothers; Leo glances at him, curious about this small lore drop, only to notice that Percy's grey eyes have gotten even more pale. Almost white. Blake asks Percy some little questions about being on a farm, and as a fun fact it turns out that Blake and Percy have ridden horses a few times, while Leo never had the opportunity to (though he was interested in it when he was a kid). It's just a nice little exchange about horses- though it's discovered that Percy's smile is a bit unsettling now that his Humanity has dropped.

It's getting close to dawn at this point. Percy suggests there's a place relatively close nearby that they can stay for the day; while traveling, he tells the coterie, the Sabbat would set up secret temporary havens for nomadic packs to rest up at. They're typically well-hidden, with no chance of Anarchs or Camarilla knowing of their locations, but Percy adds there might be a risk of Lupines since they're out in the wilderness. Other than that, it's a good place to stay and would shave some time off their roadtrip home.

Blake, however, is skeptical and does not want to spend the night in a Sabbat den- especially one with the risk of werewolves and the chance a pack might already be there. Blake suggests they can part ways and Percy reminds him he still has business in San Jose, mainly regarding the search for Leo's sire. After a tense discussion it's stated that Percy will spend the night at the haven and they'll pick him up later. Blake drives to the side of the road so Percy can walk to the haven. While grabbing his things Percy realizes he still has Kyra's old spear that our Gangrel has given him; he gives it back to Blake, who makes a quip about how Percy might need it for the werewolves.

Blake reassures a hesitant Leo that the two of them can check out the haven the next night when it's time to grab Percy; that seems to satisfy the curious Malk for the time being, and they drive to a hotel for the night. ___________

Percy makes his way through midwestern forest until he locates the hidden cellar door of the temporary Haven; It opens up with a creak. The place is dark, but with Hidden Senses Percy can see the haven's a bit small, and he disarms a tripwire trap before he enters and puts his bags down. Now he can see it's dusty, with a few crates stacked around- a small Sabbat emblem is scratched into the wood of one of them.

Percy uses a (possibly) slightly blood-stained shovel to pry open that crate, which turns out was being used to hide a secret hatch! However, it's got a pretty strong letter padlock on it. On the inside of the crate a carving reads "In Nomine _____," and so Percy puts the word "Caine" into the padlock to open up the hatch. After examining the contents of the other crates (which had nails, candles and cans of gasoline), our cultist descends down the hatch's ladder to enter yet another room.

Cots line the walls, which are pained with Sabbat iconography. There's a small cache of melee weapons- straight-up there is a sword in there- and in the middle of the room is a table (an altar?) with a black bowl. Another thing lying on the table, the most notable thing in the room, is a shirtless and beat-up Kindred with a stake driven through his chest. He's got a crucific tattoo, and there's a note on top of his body: ["Traitor's blood. Still good to eat."]

Percy determines he's not going to do that; he's connecting some dots, and figures the man is a Lasombra. He wants to de-stake him and ask some questions, but knows if he does that now he's going to get attacked by a Frenzying vampire- he needs to find some blood other than his own for the man to feed on.

And so our Ventrue heads out into the surrounding forest to go hunting.

------

Meanwhile, the other two Kindred have checked into a hotel and are sun-proofing the place. Blake gets a text from Percy informing him about the staked man- but in code and vague terms, of course, just in case the Inquisition is listening in. Leo is looking over Blake's shoulder to read their conversation.

Blake: "Plan on waking him up before or after we swing by?" Percy: "At my earliest convenience. Unless you and Mr. Leo would prefer to be present?"

At this point Blake notices Leo and glances at him. Leo shirks back and busies himself with continuing to sun-proof the room; given his already-low self-esteem and the guilt from earlier in the night, he's assumed Blake was annoyed at him. Blake offers to get some extra blood from the stranger and agrees to meet up with Percy at the haven the next night.

---

Dec 29, 2021.

Leo fails a Rouse Check, so he wakes up with a pretty bad headache as he gets to 3 Hunger. Blake sends Percy a text that they're about to head out to get some blood, and as he continues his morning routine Leo decides to ask him that he's spoken as if he's run into the Sabbat before? Blake merely responds that if one survives in this unlife long enough, they're bound to run into that sect.

["-Whether it's a gaggle of shovelheads or a Templar, apparently."]

Blake lets Leo know that they need to pick something up, and suggests maybe afterwards the Kid can ask more questions. He comments that despite being a guy who likes his secrecy, Leo sure does want to know a lot about others.

["And I'm not judging you," he says, grabbing his car keys, "I'm just saying." The Malkavian shrugs- looks away. "Everyone's a bit hypocritical," he mutters. "Don't I know it."] ________

Blake figures the best place to easily get blood would be a medical setting, so he drives towards a clinic. Leo's a bit uneasy about the whole idea, but hey what else are ya gonna do about it. They reach the parking lot, and so starts the escapade of lying to hospital employees.

["Stay here." Blake leaves the car, pauses, and then turns around to point at Leo. "Actually stay here."]

Blake enters the place but doesn't use Blush of Life as he speaks to the receptionist; he explains to her he's new here, and nervously asks if they do walk-ins, etc etc, are there any forms he should sign? She asks what his symptoms are, and Blake does a pretty good job in pretending to be hesitant in admitting that he thinks he might have a UTI. Blake is given some forms to fill out and is told a doctor will see him in a bit; he fills it out quicky, putting down a fake name as his player implies Blake's might've done this before- though he's gotta do some mental math for putting down a false date of birth.

(Meanwhile, Leo's trying his best to stay preoccupied, which is a bit difficult bc 1) he's at 3 hunger and a bit fidgety bc of it, and 2) this is Leo here; but he manages to not get up to anything. He considers using Premonition on Blake's jeep, but settles on replaying his Kirby game.)

Back at the clinic, Blake speaks to a doctor about the (not real) UTI issue, and is directed to the restroom so they can get a urine sample, and the doctor leaves the room. Blake obviously doesn't do as he's told, and instead starts to make his way to the back of the clinic; it's an emergency clinic area, so everyone is busy and doesn't quite pay him any mind.

He sneaks into the room where they store the blood bags and finds six of them. Blake takes half, putting them in the inside pockets of his jacket, and dips outta there and heads back to the car.

Notes/Ramblings:

"Percy can't fuck no more" -the ST on Percy getting to 5 Humanity

The horse conversation really was such a Nothing conversation but i'm including it here anyway

Leo my beloved. Sabbat hater and Percy disliker but also he is So so curious about the haven

One of our ideas for un-staking the man without him attacking Percy was for Percy to like. Tie a rope around the stake and pull it out once he's at the top of the ladder so that Percy isn't the first thing the man sees and would instead go for the blood we'll leave out for him. It's like tying a string to a loose tooth and also a door yknow

The idea of Leo not knowing that vampires can frenzy after being de-staked is kinda funny. "I've been staked multiple times before and I was fine, dw about it-"

I cant believe Blake's player and the ST roleplayed a "hey i might have a UTI" hospital scene. my god. and meanwhile leo is trying to Not do stupid impulsive stuff. blood and silicon truly is a comedy at times

Finally made it to a desktop!

Here's the links to those playlists. They're largely a mix of goth/post-punk bands and horror film scores. There are almost certainly songs on there that aren't meant to be in some of the playlists and were accidentally added when I tried to add them to a different playlist and slipped. Ignore those, lol

These are also still WIPs and are centered around the different grops as they were written like seven years ago; I'm not confidently up to date on the more recent editions and Bloodline alliances and groupings.

Enjoy, and please let me know if some of the links don't work! You're also okay sharing this/my spotify account since it's all public1

Some portrait I did for (part of) the coterie of the game of VtM we're currently playing! I associated to each one of them an animal because I come from the His Dark Materials fandom because I love symbolism. From top to bottom: Charvi Patel (Banu Haqim) Kestrel Charvi is the muscle of the coterie. Like a kestrel, it's easy to underestimate her due to her petite physique, but her body count speaks for itself. Precise, quick and smart, but also impulsive and fairly evitant. Lazzaro Costa (Lasombra "antitribu"*) King cobra Despite having quite a reputation, cobras are actually timid and protective creatures. Likewise, Lazzaro is far from being the fearsome and rutheless Lasombra. Quiet, down to earth and very motivated to keep some sort of humanity intact, he shows his more "shadow-y" side only when he truly must. Gerardo Vambretti (Ventrue) Sun conure Talktative, playful and sociable, but also assertive and -like most prey birds- unexpectedly frail. The sun conure was perfect for Gerardo, who uses his silver tongue, party animal soul and cynicism, to keep his vulnerable side well hidden from preying eyes. *please v20 players, don't kill me for this, I just recently started dipping in the lore and it ain't easy for this italian ass to find all the stuff
