Also for the venerable Parvati & Harrakhty:

The Week of Nightmares - how potent were its effects upon you and your flock? Is it a (relatively) distant memory now? Something that weighs upon the mind?

Harrakhty probably would not say it out loud to anyone but Parvati, but the Week of Nightmares truly was exactly that and yes these events still haunt him to this day. That week changed the course of the rest of his existence, for he saw that his earthly gifts - a partner who was his equal and his adoring temple - can be snatched from him in an instant completely without any influence on his part. He had to fight a powerful and crazed Parvati in his Sobek form, and he realized he could not kill her at all when he had her in torpor. Thankfully Parvati snapped out of the influence of her grandsire within a few more days, but the damage to the temple and to Harri was done. This night is what made him desire a true lineage - something tangible to share with Parvati and to carry on their legacy and teachings if something were to happen. Funny enough - Nyth's near fatal gunshot wound and Noa's desperation to revive him fell "fortuitously" within the same year as the Week of Nightmares, which meant the Setite Elder was willing to give a young necromancer a chance on her promises... which ended up giving Harri and Parvati their daughter Kahanni, born January 1st 2000. AN AMAZING QUESTION - I'm sorry it took so long to answer and I wish I could've drawn more for it. I skipped a couple of panels so I'm sorry if it's a bit quick!! <3

Hey, hey!! I would love to know 3, 5, 13 and 41 for Syn if possible? 😇

3) Are they more “traditional” or do they break barriers?

Not in the conventional sense - she operates out of her own box, breaking rules where needed. She is a firm believer in the "ends justify the means", but only if she doesn't get caught. But she fiercely upholds the internal traditions passed down through her Serpents of the Light (Cobra) bloodline, reinforced by her sire and her sire's Cobra cell and Sabbat pack. 5) Who is their sire?

Syn's sire is an Elder Cobra (and a former Setite), known online as "Copperhead" who leads a Cobra cell operating as a hacker collective. Copperhead was born long before any modern advances in North Africa and Embraced into the Followers of Set but lost faith in their teachings and split from the Followers, refusing to worship Set as a god and went into exile. After centuries, her paths crossed with a Sabbat pack priest, a Lasombra who introduced her to the teachings of Caine and the Sabbat. There, she met some of the progenitors (also former Setites of the Serpents of the Light, a new group forged under the weight of oppressive colonialism on Caribbean plantations of the New World, particularly on the island of Hispaniola. Today, in modern times, the Serpents of the Light occupy every corner of the globe in every country, Embracing any they deem worthy into their ranks which means being useful in their underground criminal operations. Copperhead leads a Cobra cell as part of a larger Sabbat pack which coordinates with other packs to operate underground criminal enterprises, including a blood (and blood doll) trafficking ring. The cell uses their techniques and skills to hide all digital traces of the pack's cybercriminal operations.

While still human, Syn was a no-name, operating under the guise of a "male" hacker (i.e. using male names/aliases/handles) who frequented Dark Web forums finding ways to make money using her programming skills she picked up as a compsci student dropout. She was prized for tools, in particular, her botnet which she licensed out for other cybercriminals to use. That's what caught the eye of Copperhead.

Impressed with her work, she approached Syn online and recruited her for a new project, promising she'd be well paid. For over a year Syn worked, writing malware and specific exploits, and deploying her custom botnet which enjoyed widespread use.

And she was never compromised until she finally was.

Copperhead got wind of a comms breach with law enforcement/gov authorities as a likely culprit and sent a warning to stand down and 'go dark'.

After months lying low off the grid and silence from her online contacts, Copperhead reached out to meet her in-person reward her with a gift and a promise that she would never get caught again.

That night, Syn was Embraced in the throes of Ecstasy, simultaneously horrific and beyond orgasmic.

13) Was their embrace painful? (Either emotionally or physically)

Syn's Embrace by Copperhead (who was an advanced adherent of the Path of Ecstasy) was extremely physically pleasurable, beyond mortal limits, but it shattered her emotionally and mentally, destroying her iron-clad guard which shielded her from the toxic denizens of the criminal underground, most with sociopathic and psychotic tendencies. This stripping of her emotional/mental fortitude allowed her sire to remake her in her image as a fledgling member of the SoL bloodline into which she was Embraced.

41) Would your OC switch their clan if given the chance? Why or why not?

No, Syn is too emotionally bonded to her sire engendering an unbreakable loyalty (also known in SoL). Syn is staunchly loyal to her sire's cell members (also childer of her sire). This tight bond enables them to operate as a cohesive formidable backbone of the Sabbat pack they're a part of and of which Copperhead also leads as Ductus.

Other members of their pack consist of other antitribu clans in addition to a Lasombra presiding as pack priest who ensures the pack is in good standing with their domain's ArchBishop.

------------------------ May have written too much, many attempts to summarize as much as possible from my long winded backstory writings..were made.

[hmmm-toastie]

Hi! For the VTM OC ask, for whichever OC you feel like writing for today! - 64, 66, 77, and 82!

OOO my very first ask!! I'll pick Mikhail because he was my very first VTM oc and the brainrot I have for him is real

(Link to the original)

64: Do you stay in the place you inhabited in your mortal life? 

"Oh! No, no I haven't been back to Galway for a very long time. I had to leave it behind as I think a great many of us do. To be honest the last time I was there, it had changed so much that I think the last of the buildings I recognized had been knocked down." He gives a small smile. "I traveled quite a bit in my younger years, mostly through Europe looking to understand what we are, what it meant. I discovered the Noddists then and would consider myself a scholar on the subject. Now I'm quite comfortably living in London and have been for the past, oh... seventy years? Give or take."

66: Do you have anyone to protect you during the day?

"A small neighborhood, technically. I suppose you could call them my 'flock' if we were being especially zealous but not all of them attend my services at St Judes Church. Otherwise no, no one specific. My haven is mostly protected by wards."

77: What is your preferred prey? 

Mikhail is clearly very uncomfortable with this question though does a good job hiding it for the most part. His preferred 'prey' is other Kindred but it is a point of shame he rarely speaks about that was born the night of his embrace. His sire, whom he never even learned the name of, commanded him to diablarise them and Mikhail - freshly Embraced, ravenous and powerless to disobey, did so immediately. He has long theorized that this is what lead to his particular 'addiction' and craving for Kindred blood over human.

82: What motivates you? 

"Oh that's a very simple answer. I have people I care a great deal for and need to look after, as they have done for me. There is also the matter of understanding what I saw the night of my Embrace, what we are as Kindred, Gehenna, so many mysteries still yet to unravel."

My crops are flourishing, my skin is clear, my sight is enhanced, life is great, all thanks to playing one very very tired vampire cowboy who's not being paid at all to put up with bullshit weekly ❤️🥰

Virgil Lawrence | He/Him | 212 Years Old | Ex-Sabbat Brujah Vampire

Session/Image Context below:

Mans got Blood Bonded to a really powerful Tzimisce and got forced piercings by their fleshcrafting as part of a community service deal. He wanted to kill them soooooo bad.

babysitting duty for the baby sabbat brujah so she doesnt attack another party member :/

dude hes not being paid enough or at all to deal with another party member's toxic ex that keeps firebombing the coterie’s domains

At least he gets to go to daysleep with his horse for company, shit sucks in boston right now

[tangledinink]

day five of repostober is old art! this is a ttrpg character from my vampire the masquerade game-- his name is candle and he's very sassy, very flirty, loves to perform, and lives in a van with his rabbit, brooklyn. he used to live in nyc with his husband back in the 80's when he was still mortal, but, well, you know. shit happens.

he's a stripper by trade (and is extremely good at it.)

[swoomoo]

I love seeing your OCs interact with other OCs that aren't connected in the game/world/universe. Seeing art of mutual 1 and mutual 2's characters, who don't actually know each other is so fun.

[moop-snoop]

Started playing a Vampire the Masquerade 5e game n i have many art of my nosferatu boy Monty

Australian vampire stuck in Las Vegas cus some guy decided he needed him for his computer club 🙄

(Red head is a Toreador called Lance who is played my gf!)

[svampira]

[ll-underestimated-ll]

This prompt been doing the rounds on tiktok- only the trauma started before his sire found him so this is just 'before embrace -> modern day'

[crownedinmarigolds]

No collab for Thanksgiving as I imagine a TON of us will be busy (and of course the possible gift exchange!) so next VTM Collab will be Christmas I think! :D What clan - if any - should be celebrated?

I'll let this run long, let's see! <3

[vtm-nightcity]

Sorry for being greedy, but I wanted to know more about Syn's relation to Serpents of the Light. Why were they embraced into this bloodline? How do they feel about their bloodline?

No, not at all! I tend to be long winded when I write, but I think I may have included those answers in the answers to the number questions. But in sum, Syn was recruited online by her sire (who leads a hacker collective made up of Cobra (SoL) cell which is also a part of a larger Sabbat pack). Syn's reputation on the Dark Web and her malware, including her own custom botnet caught the attention of her sire who saw her as being incredibly useful for her Cobra cell. Syn wasn't fully initiated into the full knowledge of her sire's criminal enterprise until she was Embraced. Syn is staunchly loyal to the Serpents of the Light, her sire and her Cobra cell as well as to her Sabbat pack due to the nature of her Embrace into the Serpents of the Light.

[knownsome]

Introducing Adesina Vega Kande, my new Tremere character about to make her debut in New Orleans. You may call her Addie. Her bird Taaru, a common hill mynah, was gifted to her by her father, because, as he put it, "I need to be sure you'll always have someone you can talk to." She's since ghouled the bird, and he seems to be her one confidant.

She was born in France to her Senegalese parents, moving out to NOLA recently to escape the stagnation of the European chantries. She's sharp and not so friendly, but she's most determined to prove herself capable, knowledgeable, and able to get ahead in the clan by any means necessary.

Looking forward to Tremere/ghostly/supernatural shenanigans with her!

[kavalyera]

yuhh take these backstory cards

[maria-ruta]

Im back!!

Here was the link!

https://www.tumblr.com/sadwrncupid/762924626225528832/vtm-oc-ask-game-hello-ive-decided-to-make-a?source=share

3,5,6 and 49!

Thank you very much for sharing(op changed username so the ask game is now here) and for your asks!

Let's all dive into some of the Veronica's backstory!

And thank you for your patience hahaha, here are my answers:

3. Are they more “traditional” or do they break barriers?

no she isnt much of either traditional vampire nor toreador...

she is very humane and she likes people and she goes along with the technology update and people's fashion/habbits changes

she kinda looks pretty much typical for toreador but she isnt as full of herself and high art/high society as you'd expect typical toreador to be...

here i made little chart that i found for her

she actually never was accepted kindly by most of toreador clan in the city, she was embrased in (Chicago), halfly bc her Sire waslone wolf among toreadors, halfly bc she herself didn't fit their standarts and she didn't like their mean attitude

and after that and so on she kind of didn't get to join any other toreador group from other cities too

she has lots of friends and allies from different clans though! lots of gangrels and brujas among them for some reason XD

she also has friends in camarilia and anarchs, been there and there too, kind of playing in both feilds i guess

5. Who is their sire?

William Moore (he/him lesbian) in the past, changed to nowdays Kellen Moore (they/them nonbinary)

they used to be harpy of Chicago, they were looking after masqarade maintenance and getting rid of witnesses etc

you can read more about them if you go through my older posts, tagged as "moore"

6. What was their relationship to their sire? Were they close in any way or mere strangers?

First Veronica didn't like him much bc he dragged her into hell of being vampire, but overtime she grown softer and softer to him

then they became a couple, you could say they were close yeah... 😏

Veronica's humanity went lower from becoming vampire and learning how to hunt and be vampire and such, but over time when she learned that she wants to still know and understand humans well, her humanity went back up

Veronica and William were together for few dacades, untill the incedent around 60s

the incedent was when Veronica charmed some dude to feed on him in his apartment (charming humans for food didn't count as cheating for Veronica and William, as long as it is not long term relationship), and she drank his blood but he didn't forget as much, and whats worse, he turned out to be conspiracy and monsters entusiast, and he realized she is a vampire and he was so excited and over his head about it and wanted to call his friends entusiasts, Veronica panicked and didn't know what else to do but bite him again and drank him out to death

scared and shocked from what she did she called William to come and help clean this mess (especially since its his feild of expertese). William and his two ghouls arrived(he has old gay couple as ghouls btw... well they look young-ish but in modern days they are pretty old...) ghouls were cleaning the evidance and getting rid of the body, while William was trying to calm Veronica down and support her, bc she was pretty psyched that she killed an inocent man

William tried to convince her that she did the right thing, that saving the masqarade was more important, Veronica was still hysterical and said something about that it is easy for him to say, considering how many people he killed after embracing her (more of that here). William never told her about it but she found out herself... He said "I did this for you" and she answered "no. you did it for yourself." anddd... that was a break point in their relationship, they broke up

Both were mad at each other for a while

Veronica couldnt find a porpose for herself and was drowning into apathy and depression and was just slouching about for some time, then she met a group of anarchs who were passing by and stayed in the city for couple of days. One of them flirted with her, they talked a bit and he jokingly offered her to join them, she said she needs to think about it, and next night she really decided to put everything behind and run away with anarchs bc she was sick of camarilia anyway, and so she did

her Sir sure did get in some trouble for the fact that his childie joined anarchs, he was partly upset but partly thinking that maybe it is for the better, and considering if it wasn't fair to hold her on the leesh

after some traveling and more life experience Veronica still was thinking about William and experience that she had, and at some point she decided to write him a letter, to ask how is he doing and confess that now, after time passed she understands that he was partly right on that horrible night, about saving masqarade and all that, tho she wishes she could find a better way to resolve the situation back then etc

and so they slowly started talking again, little by little fixing their relationship into friendly

later on in 80s William helps her rejoin camarilia, when she asked for shalter from sabat in New Orleans. William called toreodor premogen of New Orleans - Adzone, and asked him if he'd accept Veronica in the city. After looking at Veronica up and down Adzone smiled and confirmed to other heads of New Orleans that she's worthy of joining (who know what he saw, or what thought he read! he is an ancient ass vampire who diablored A LOT of vampires in his past c: )

in 90s after apocalipsis almost happened, Veronica felt especially need to go see people she loves, so she visited Moore in Chicago - at this point after almost the end of the world, he quit his harpy job and was having existential crisis. They caought up pretty well (but only as friends) and Veronica brought them a gift - a computer! she started teaching them how to use it and convinced them that using new technologies is a great thing, also introduced them to some new gender terms she learned from newer generations of people

nowdays they are still friends and chat online more or less frequently

Veronica still feels romantic longing for her Sire, but she thinks that it is her bloodbound, and she is always conflicted about her feelings towards them, bc she doesnt like the thought of blodbound dictating her emotions and feelings and she worries about it not being sincere

She doesn't know that her bloodbound is gone long ago. she just still has aching heart for them, and probably alwyas will, but oh well 🤷‍♀️

49. Detail your OC’s backstory!

like... like ALL OF IT???? oh for fucks sake thats A LOT X'D

ok maybe someday I will do some major Veronica's backstory post, will put all the previous posts together or something, and add drawings idk...

but that day is not today ahahah.....

maybe if i do it in drafts slowly, little part each day, ill be able to, maybe... wait for the updates, i guess X)

[thesixthplaneteer]

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.
