It's getting to be that time of year where there are rapid fire back-to-back holidays! It's enough to make even a Kindred's head spin with how busy we're getting! This time around it's a grand holiday party starring your favorite OC - no specific clan here! Just whoever you feel like showing up to the party. The local Followers of Set are hosting the shindig at their club and temple and invite you to wear a fun holiday sweater and party the night away! Parvati is wearing a "I'm so Good, Santa Came Twice" sweater, Harrakhty is wearing a "Big Nick Energy" sweater, and Set Reborn Kahanni thought it would be funny to celebrate the birth of Christ on her sweater. It's time for another Vampire the Masquerade community collaboration! Please please please draw your favorite Vampire the Masquerade OC alongside ours (these characters belong to me and @thesixthplaneteer) so that everyone can celebrate the holidays!

Like the other collaborations, I will take all submissions at the deadline and smush them all into one final collab piece - the deadline will be December 23rd!! (A Monday!) I tried to answer how to submit here in case you were curious! It would be great for you to post a PNG of your character beneath a cut when you reblog the piece just for easier management!

(For reference, Harrakhty Hamdi is 6'5", Kahanni is 6'3", and Parvati is 5'11". GIANTS this go around!)

IF YOU WANT TO DRAW AND FEEL LIKE YOU CANNOT DRAW DO NOT LISTEN TO THAT VOICE THAT IS THE DEVIL DECEIVING YOU! Please draw your OC next to them if you want to I would cry and love to see it!

January Day 16 - Setites

[alien-superst4r]

∞ ANOK YAI is the SETITE

Masters of manipulation and corruption, Setites (clan Ministry) know all seven sins and will bring out the worst out of you. But where people see chaos seekers, Setites actually want to free you from the prison of matter. They want to destroy what trap your soul: the system, its laws and its moral, all false doctrine that you need to forget to transcend to your divine self.

Feeling tempted? They sure know how to have a good time.

Clan 10/13 of my Halloween project (we're almost done omg)

Hi, for the VTM OC Ask Game, I would love to know the following for Harri and Godwynn: 6, 10, 16, 30! Thank you 🙏

Hello! thank you for the ask and sorry it took so long to respond <3

6. What was their relationship to their sire? Were they close in any way or mere strangers? Harri - He was embraced by Ta-Urt, a direct child of Set believing herself to be the goddess of fertility, childbirth, and black magic. She is actively worshipped as a goddess by the Cult of Taweret, a cult within the followers that heavily practices the Path of Ecstasy. Harrakhty was brought in after being able to sneak into her temple and made it as far as the treasure room. At first he was taken as a pet but his deep dive into devotion and acceptance of the cult tenants made Ta-Urt see some potential. She then groomed him for centuries. Convincing him he was Sobek reborn. They were incredibly close with Harri convincing himself he was the favorite of the Goddess and a very unhealthy matronly dynamic that would have made Sigmund Freud blush. She guided and shaped him into the very thing he is today. Godwynn - He was embraced soon after the final battle of the War of Roses. He was injured and in his recovery was unknowingly conversing with the man that would become his sire. Godwynn holds great respect for Walder and they were as close and any packmate and pack leader would be with the knightly fraternity of their mostly Ventrue Antitribue pack but it was very much a commander and soldier relationship. Godwynn preferred it like that. He looked up to Walder and aspired to be every bit of the warrior he was. The only time Godwynn recalls feeling sadness was the night Walder met final death.

10. What is their relationship to that childe if they do have one? Harri - Even as old as he is he has rarely sired with none making it to modern nights. He would find a promising aspirant in the cult and bring them by his side. They would be close, very close, as he guided them through the gates of enlightenment. However at some point he is disappointed by them or his wife decides she let it go on long enough, or they thought they would be able to replace the wife. Ambition seemed to always get in the way of him having a progeny that can last. In modern nights he embraces a ghoul he had for nearly a century. An enforcer/bodyguard type that he has taken strides with to try and make it work out. Godwynn - He has never sired, being far to hard on his ghouls and potential childer. He would build knight and squire type relationships and put them through all imaginable torments to prepare them to become a crusader.

16. How good are they at acting “alive”? Harri - He hangs around mortals enough he can act alive, however he himself is a walking masquerade breach but Obfuscate helps with that. He may be seen as eclectic or quirky but he can act alive. Godwynn - Terrible at it. He only started even using the blush of life in modern nights to appease his Bishop turned Prince. He will do the bare minimum to keep the masquerade, otherwise he makes no effort.

30. Do they have a clan that they do particularly like? Harri - The necromancer clans. Necromancy may hold some secret to bringing Set back so he has always been fond of the clans that now make up Hecata. With the miracles Noa helps him perform in modern nights, they are the top of his like list. Godwynn - Tremere, for all the wrong reasons. He likes the taste of warlock vitae the most and enjoys hunting them. He even developed counter thaumaturgy after a diablerie or two because he enjoys the smug looks faded form their face when they realize their greatest weapon is rendered null. He holds no particle hate for them, they're just fun to hunt. Outside of his own clan he doesn't care at all about the others.

Assamites

In Cainite circles, many remain unaware of the true nature and intentions of the Assamites. To most, they appear as a new clan emerging from the East, bold in their stance amidst the nightly struggles of our kind. Only the elders and learned scholars among Cainites can recall a time when the Assamites were active members of our society, before they withdrew into their studies within Alamut, their sanctuary nestled in the Anatolian mountains.

Among European vampires, rare are those who interact with anyone beyond the Assamite envoys, the viziers, and a handful of sorcerers. The clan presents a united front, possessing an uncanny ability to communicate across vast distances and maintain ties with their brethren in Alamut.

Though many Assamites hail from the lands now known as Persia, birthplace of their founder, their members come from across the Middle East. In recent times, a growing number of younger Assamites have embraced Islamic beliefs. Yet, their elders often regard this with disdain, seeing mortal religion as a distraction from their true purpose.

However, to the wider Cainite society, it is the younger Assamites they mostly encounter, and the name Assamite has become synonymous with Muslim, earning them the epithet Saracens. Yet, many elder Assamites are content to let others believe what they will, so long as it serves their own ends.

The Assamites themselves shun the label of Saracens, preferring instead to be known as the Children of Haqim, in honor of their progenitor. Haqim laid down a strict code for his descendants to follow. Cainites are perilous creatures who meddle too freely in mortal affairs. The Children of Haqim are tasked with honoring their elders, shielding mortals from the excesses of other Cainites, and meting out judgment (and punishment) upon their kindred.

Furthermore, the Children of Haqim are entrusted with reclaiming the blood of profligate Cainites, those who abuse mortals and ought not possess such gifts. This often leads the clan to engage in diablerie as a matter of principle, though few adhere strictly to this doctrine.

The clan of the Children of Haqim operates as a cohesive unit, divided into three distinct sects that collaborate closely in pursuit of their shared goal of judgment. The sorcerers serve as the clan's backbone, facilitating communication among members and providing essential support from Alamut, the clan's stronghold. Warriors, on the other hand, wield the authority to pass judgment upon vampires and deliver punishment when deemed necessary. Meanwhile, the viziers assume the role of the clan's public representatives, gathering intelligence on political matters and current events to keep their brethren informed. Most Assamites residing within Cainite-controlled territories function as viziers, supported by a handful of sorcerers.

Dubbed as the Children of Haqim or Saracens, the appearance of Assamites is predominantly Middle Eastern, although some neonates have been embraced as far west as the Iberian Peninsula. Regardless of origin, all Assamites are obliged to spend time in Alamut following their embrace, adopting traditional Middle Eastern attire. Dress codes within the three sects vary based on functionality; sorcerers adhere strictly to traditional attire, warriors opt for comfort during extended travels, and viziers often adopt the garb of their current city of residence.

When selecting a haven, Assamites prioritize security over luxury, favoring easily defended dwellings secluded from mortal eyes, particularly in European domains. Many opt for residences located on the outskirts of cities, enabling them to monitor the activities of both vampires and mortals. However, practicality may sometimes yield to necessity; certain Assamite viziers may adorn their dwellings impressively to curry favor with mortal and Cainite courts when hosting visitors.

In terms of character creation, Assamite viziers typically possess a blend of Social and Mental Attributes and Abilities, reflecting their roles as scholars and diplomats. Most Children of Haqim boast at least one dot in Mentor, often their sire, and some may possess dots in Generation acquired through the practice of diablerie upon those deemed unworthy. The majority adhere to the Road of Heaven or Humanity, with a select few following the Road of Kings. However, older warriors and traditionalists often align with the Road of Blood.

Clan Assamite possesses a distinctive set of Disciplines, including Auspex, Presence, and Quietus (Hematus). However, their rigorous nature is both a strength and a weakness. Assamite viziers are known for their unwavering dedication, yet each harbors an obsession with their highest intellectual or creative Ability, which manifests as a derangement. This obsession is visible through their glowing aura, offering clues to their true nature and the object of their fixation, discernible to users of Auspex. Additionally, as Assamites age, their skin gradually darkens to a matte onyx, a slow but unmistakable transformation.

Organization within Clan Assamite is intricate, owing to the adeptness of their sorcerers. The clan defers to the Eldest, typically the eldest of Haqim's progeny not in torpor. Each of the three sects within the clan has its own internal leader, collectively overseeing the night-to-night operations. The viziers perceive themselves as judges, tasked with evaluating Cainites and identifying those deemed unworthy of Caine's blood. Sorcerers dedicate themselves to research aimed at enhancing interactions with mortals and maintaining communication among the sects. Meanwhile, warriors act as enforcers, executing judgments and leading nomadic lives directed by their brethren.

Regarding stereotypes of other clans, Assamites hold varying views. They view Tremere with caution, wary of their meddling in unknown realms. Brujah are seen as passionate but lacking in true philosophical depth. Cappadocians are generally tolerated as long as their studies into death remain separate from mortal affairs. Gangrel are respected for their honor, with few deemed unworthy. However, Followers of Set are considered heretics, condemned for their debauchery and perceived evil.

Solomon's dice, "Serpentis" created by rpadventuringcompany. They have real snake skin in them!

I sketched my Setite priest, Miro. He’s an ambitious little psycho who claims, among other things, to have diablerized an angel to discover his own divinity.

[girlnextvore]

She went in a different direction but shes cool. Drew a Setite today
