#vtm oc ask

[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

Toreador and Cult of Shalim for Carmichael 💕

Hellooo and thank you for the ask ❤️

OP: https://www.tumblr.com/diableriedoll/766489907918143488/clan-inspired?source=share

Toreador - Describe your OCs aesthetic in the worst way possible, then tell us what it actually is.

Alcoholic chain smoking middle manager avoiding going home!

Really I think I'd describe him more as, department store modern noire. He wears a coat, slack, leather shoes and button up but it's a little disheveled. His clothes are all properly fitted but he's wearing them just wrong enough to throw it off. He looks the part he plays.

Cult of Shalim - What's the worst thing your OC has suffered so far?

So far, that I've written, it would be the discovery that he has been embraced. (At least that he consciously knows he suffered) he's dealt with the supernatural before his embrace. Looking for lost loved ones or looking into why someone 180d in personality. Just to find something got their hands on them. He would try to save them if there was a chance of it, but even he understood that telling people about it would only cause them problems. He didn't think of himself as a hunter. He was just a mortal that knew there were two worlds and burdened himself with walking the line between. But he somehow crossed that line and is one of them now. He doesn't know what or who embraced him and not knowing is driving him mad. Maybe he'd be more ok with being a vampire if he just knew. Or maybe he'd be less ok with it.

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."

Because how many ask games are too many? Trick question, there's never enough! We all know we adore talking about our Kindred and hearing about others.

Send as many Clans/ Cults of your choice to the reblogger, plus their OC name, let them answer the relevant questions about their Kindred. The questions are based around the Clan/ Cult rather than you have to send the cult or clan the OC is in. ♥️🩸

Add your OC's names in the tags and share!

Don't forget to send asks to the person you reblogged this from!

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.

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!)

[crownedinmarigolds]

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

(Harrakhty belongs to @thesixthplaneteer)

[thesixthplaneteer]

For Nyth;

Church of Caine - Does your OC have any religious/ Kindred beliefs?

Church of Set - Is your OC able to be their true selves? If not, why? Is there anyone they can be real in front of?

Nephilim - What pleasures does your OC get out of their (un)life?

Hello!!!!!!! Oh some nice questions!

Church of Caine - Does your OC have any religious/ Kindred beliefs?

Nyth was raised Jewish. They went to temple and celebrated the holidays but that's mostly it. It was actually the night of his Bat Mitzvah that the realization of his gender identity really hit him.

Post embrace he didn't take on any other religious ideals but he does consider Kindred an elevated species. He thinks of Kindred as Tolkien Elves compared to mortals. He doesn't think of humans as just animals or blood bags, not that he feels bad for doing what he has to do, but he does think of them as lesser. It's part of how his sire over romanticized vampires to him. Nyth is a big Tolkien fanboy and his sire was like "But what if you could be an elf?" and slowly convinced him kindred were basically just elves that had to have a lil sippy sip from mortals from time to time.

Church of Set - Is your OC able to be their true selves? If not, why? Is there anyone they can be real in front of?

Absolutely! After leaving Las Vegas and accidently killing his sire Nyth decided he wasn't going to be anything for anybody except himself. That's when he took on the name Nythanel, because he wanted to change it to that when he transitioned but his sire talked him down to Nathaniel.

He can be truly himself, like being able to show vulnerability, with Noa. They had been through so much and even when she had the power to make him into whatever she wanted, she went though lengths to bring him back as much as himself as she could. So he has no barriers built up in regards to her.

Nephilim - What pleasures does your OC get out of their (un)life?

Nyth was a lifelike Thinblood before his resurrection. so, any damn pleasure he wanted. It's still kind of there however physical pleasures without vampiric enhancement are dulled since being brought back. So he gets more of a rush from making a break through on a new formulae than he does something like sex anymore. Not that he hasn't experimented with making kindred drugs but after his Ashe addiction not ending well he mostly dives into that as a possible revenue source than for himself. He does like a good party though so he indulges from time to time.

[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.

[svampira]

mistakes were made

[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'
