I've been replaying Red Embrace: Hollywood, so I've got some ideas for the boys and their vampire houses. This is strictly RE:H, I'll probably do another categorising once Paradisus (and their "fourth house") comes out

I'm going with the idea that they were human-ish before. Demons don't exist in the RE:H universe, vampires can't have kids, so they all have to be turned humans

Shiki - Golgotha

It's one of those things that I can't explain to anyone who hasn't played the game, Shiki is just so Golgotha. You don't even know how and when he was turned, he settled in so well, you'd think he was born into it

His visions would be of the recent past or present, hidden details about people that let him read them like an open book. Think MC's visions, needles for a drug addict, a red flame for someone with a fiery personality, a man buried in cash and gold because he's been stealing money

Turned willingly. Or was he?

Mage - Mavvar

Maybe it's cliche to say Mavvar because "hurr gurr the rowdy ones", but given how he tells Ritsu that he doesn't hate her for what Maxxis did, that she is her own person and her father's deeds aren't hers by default… Yeah, Mavvar.

Mavvar are very "I follow my own rules", and more community focused. They tend to stick with the people they care about through anything

Turned willingly, and he's greatly enjoying the vampire life

Urie - Iscari

Urie is Iscari, he just is. It helps that he has literal hypnosis powers. As if the others don't, but you get my point

He does live in façades and deception, uses his lust deal to get what he wants. Does it make sense if I say he feels safer being in control?

Turned willingly, but it's in the nature of many Iscari to lament the loss of their humanity, so sometimes he really wonders if he made the right decision

Lindo - Mavvar

I'm leaning towards Mavvar because of the temperament, yeah. But also how he fights to protect Ritsuka. Yeah, he keeps her in a bubble, but outside of that bubble, he goes out and fights himself, he doesn't stay hidden with her. He fights to protect what he loves and I'd say he needs his community, no matter how small

Turned… in less than ideal circumstances. Whether he was coerced or just grabbed and turned by force, I can't say, but he's not happy about it. Maybe he's a Stryx, "a human with exceptionally appealing blood". The game says "Strices tend to have… rather extreme reactions to being turned" but we don't see a turned Stryx, so I can't say for sure

Rem - Iscari

Rem… Rem was a bit more complicated

The key thing about RE:H is that vampires don't get turned "just like that"

A vampire shares common traits with their house because they likely chose that house themself. They got along with someone from that house, then they were turned in that house. Because otherwise, there are unpleasant consequences for everyone. Suicide, revealing vampires to humans, or whatever creative punishment they might have for their sire, it's never a good time

So most Iscari are sad star-children who are stuck in the past because they mostly turn humans who were already like that. Most Mavvar are rowdy and easily swayed into a mob mentality because they were like that as humans. And most Golgotha are the "everything else" weirdos because they were already "everything else" (whatever that "everything else" is, Golgotha is the most varied house in Hollywood in terms of that)

When it comes to Rem's house, Glax already gives me BIG Iscari vibes. Relying more on trickery and threats than brute force, but not enough trickery to be Golgotha. Golgotha are also described to "crawl from the dirt when there's an uprise", taking the opportunity to take the lead rather than making that opportunity themselves

Glax's trickery and threats (to me) are calculated, planned out, not an instinctual "I just felt like doing it." The Golgotha's deception in game (again, to me) is also about the process, not just the end result. Randal says "Golgotha would cheat a blind man at dice", but I feel like it's because they also enjoy the game of dice, you know?

And Mavvar want a leader who will speak for them. As Randal puts it, "50 voices shouting at once makes negotiations hard. But one guy speaking for the group, now that's how you achieve something."

Glax does not seem like the kind of leader to do that. Glax feels like he has his own ideas that he wants people to follow, rather than "speaking for the group". And I don't think he'd want to be part of the group either, to have someone else speak for him

So, I feel like Glax would choose to be Iscari. In the game, Iscari in general tend to be the leaders of a coven, just because they turn more people who need to have control over their lives

Even in the first Red Embrace game, the BL one, the factions are called Helgen and Serei I think? But the devs revealed that Bishop, the leader, is an Iscari, and the two vampire love interests are, classified by RE:H houses, Mavvar. So it's just that more leader-type people end up as Iscari

Back to Rem, I feel like he wouldn't choose to be a vampire. He would like to live his life as a human. But with Glax choosing Iscari, Rem would be dragged into it too

Status: He prefers not to think about it

I don't know Roen enough to categorize him. Could be either Golgotha or Iscari. And I want to see Ritsuka as a Mavvar

Bringing this gem back from my old tumblr of when my mom walked in on me playing RE:H at 1am while I was playing Randal’s route and she proceed to shout, “WHY ARE YOU DATING JESUS?!?!”

Bonus: 

Me: *Trying to explain he’s a vampire*

My mom: “WHY ARE YOU DATING VAMPIRE JESUS?!?!”

My dad: *Confused and concerned*

RE:H as Tarot Cards Series. #3- Randal as The Magician

What does The Magician card symbolise?

The Magician symbolises power, control, ability and persuasion. It’s the power to draw on what isn’t there and make it real. It’s the ability to channel your own power into action and that action into results.

Why I see Randal as The Magician.

Randal fits all of the above. Sure, I could have given him Strength, The Chariot or even Judgement but The Magician really called out to me. Randal has the ability to turn peoples thoughts into action, he can create a maelstrom from a light breeze, a rebellion from a group of friends.

He has the uncanny ability to connect to others and draw out their inner fire, what makes them tick and, most of all, their potential. He wants us to shine for who we are. When our character is first introduced they have no idea who they are anymore but Randal helps by guiding you to carve your own path.

Other tarot cards that fit Randal:

Strength ( compassion, confidence and victory), Judgement ( transformation, accounting for your past) and 2 of Swords (pulling the wool from your eyes, seeing through peoples lies)

Red Embrace: Hollywood

Quite unrelated but if you're a vampire freak like me, you guys might be interested in this game, I played the demo and it was very good.

They're almost done, I'm quite excited it looks good and the writing is as good.

Also the sprites are 😩💦👌🏻 I really encourage you all to play the demo!!

[pirunika]

i also played Red Embrace: Hollywood

Okay so, I knew the game was supposed to be all edgy and depressing before I started but tbh I was not all down... first of all, i loved the concept of vampires - setting in-game, with the houses and all I think it really makes them something of a mythical instead of just superpowered humans, they feel... Real. If you know what I mean. Powerful but not overpowered.

at first, I went with Heath that may be the reason I was not so sad about the ending because I didn't really feel sorry for him.. so after he left when I sided with Saorise I was like... K. Bye I guess.

I like to think my character really became a right-hand woman of sorts for Saorise after that, I think she's a pretty neat character and I find his way of leadership pretty reasonable too so I can't really make myself side with anyone but her...

After though I went with Randal and that one kinda hit me to be honest. I so was not expecting him to leave his group to join our cause when I picked Saorise - what just happened... it was good though. Tragic. This ending was unhappier for everyone involved including the MC and Saorise and obviously Randal...

I don't really like Markus tbh... the only way I can play his story is if I can tell him to shut the fuck up.. which I cant see happening so...

A few days ago o had a dream in which RE:H had a manga. I was on Randal’s route, I was the MC, and this goth girl was with me

I don’t remember much about her, just that she had a buzzcut and darker skin than me

And we were in the sea, me, Randal and this girl. In the sea, in the middle of the sea. Randal picked me, the MC, up and tossed me around, all in good fun like a rollercoaster

But pretty soon after that, he said “We have a long journey ahead tomorrow” and made us go to bed,,,

It was a fun dream, but Randal didn’t act too in character :/

[teamcorvid]

Randal’s route was the last I FULLY explored because poor Alya just wasn’t being Mavvar-y enough to cut it (and some white-haired junkie was busy pulling at my heartstrings) BUT today I have seen into the void. 

I want more Goddamn backstory on the Vandal now

[heart-forge]

so we can have a happy ending with Markus? fuck yeah, also au where our sire is Andrei's lover.

AM frustrated we still don’t know anything about the sire, and like. It was happier than Randal and Heath got; which isn’t a high bar so keep that in mind.
