#vtm: Darkening Spires

[cynical-tuba]

Pantaleo Fencastle

Childe of Edmund the Ventrue and Tertius the Gangrel in a double embrace, he became clanless. It's his closely guarded secret that only Tertius and Emir know.

Leo worked as a Toreador ghoul for several years, He climbed the ranks and now lives under the Guise that he is completely Ventrue. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary here.

He is a painter, a preformer, and your annoying Florentine friend.

The hand that feeds...

Maybe having his hand bitten off by a skullpig was not the wisest of decisions, but one would do anything for their children...

Æthelfrid Cædwalson

Childe of Emir, childe of the moon. Æth worked as a ghoul with Emir for a few years, after his embrace he ran away to join the circus started travelling with the Ravnos Owain.

I have added Leo (Pronouns He/Her) from our Dark Ages game. Leo is 5'4

Anyway yeah he technically isn't a Cainite yet but I couldn't resist the medieval theme

Leo is actually, technically for a few more sessions at least, is still a ghoul, but it's going to be embraced at the start of our next seasons chronicle.

Character information and transparent PNG below the cut

Pantaleo Di Medici is from Vampire The Masquerade Dark Ages setting.

He is from Florence, born in 1326 he is 22 years old.

He is an artist whose favorite subject matter is Lucifer. The fallen angel. The one brave enough to defy his creator. He's recently taken into painting flowers, portraits and the occasional dragon.

He previously served, Dante Di Rossi, a Toreador Cainite. He worked alongside his childhood friend Marco and an entourage of artistic apprentices. After a series of events in a year long chronicle, he was given to the Princes Childer, Edmund as a gift. Leo's friend, a Malkavian priest named Emir, faked a oracle vision that Leo would save the land if he was at Edmunds side. The superstitious prince Horsa naturally took him from Dante in exchange for payment. Leo now dutifully serves benevolent Edmund.

He plays the lute and enjoys Italian food. Ever since he came to Oxford he's been hating English food. (Poor boy he will never recover) He enjoys spending time with his partners Hengist, (Nosferatu twin of previously for mentioned Horsa) and Godwin, (Horsa’s ghoul who now desires to be a Tzimisce)

But just because Leo is now a Ventrue's ghoul doesn't mean he has only sampled two types of vitae. He has the fortune of trying:

Matilda,(she/her) a Outcast Ventrue

Hunnydd,(she/her) a liberating warrior Ahrimane

Tertius, (any) boar Gangrel, mother figure to Leo,

Somehow I think he will fit in a few more before this season is over.

Stakebait Coterie has taken over the summer Renaissance Festival - ready to make the Elysium night-time pleasure faire theirs in a Thinblood Bacchanalia! Ralph came as a satyr, Khloe arrived in classic tavern wench chic, Kyle is dressed as Dionysus, and Christian showed up just for the booze. They also came to celebrate my birthday month - and I invite you all to do the same! Like the previous collaborations of Malkavian and Nosferatu, I'd love for people to draw their Thinbloods (or heck, invite a few Fullblood besties if you'd like) next to mine for a fun-filled time of going medieval! Like the other collaborations, I will take all submissions at the end and smush them all into one final collab piece - the deadline will be JULY 1st!! (My birthday is later in the month but that's fine with me I count the whole month as mine.) I tried to answer how to submit here in case you were curious! (For reference, Ralph is 6'5 - Khloe is 5'5 - Kyle is 5'10 - Christian is 6') 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!

Drew the medieval lads as Souls bosses because I have no chill

Leo and Hengist have been together since 1348, their entanglement began back when Leo was a ghoul and chose him. Leo decided to make the old Cainite his love. It was Leo who lit the fires in Hengists heart after so long.

Hengist is calm, preserving, strong, dedicated, gentle. A fairytale knight in every sense.

Leo is his princess, his warmth, his sun, his light.

Who can a horrible flesh monster trust if not their priestly cat friend?

I HAVE RISEN FROM THE DEAD OH MY GOD ಥ⁠_⁠ಥ ♡♡♡♡

FIRST ARTFIGHT ATTACK for @cynical-tuba and @spell-fox

[urbanknightart]

Priscilla, as Emir named the slightly rotting boar with a skull head, guided Emir and Tertius through the unfamiliar darkness. The only light in this fleshy, hostile feeling landscape was emitting from herself.

[cynical-tuba]

saw @crownedinmarigolds do this and it looked like fun!

Art vs Artist 2024!

all I’ve drawn this year is vtm hahaha no regrets

[cynical-tuba]

Designing Leo a party outfit for season 2 of our dark ages game. Silk flowers and 1422!!

I'm a fan of the brocade but it's pretty old fashioned by the 1400s

[urbanknightart]

Thank you so much, they are both absolutely gorgeous! 🥰

Two commissions for @urbanknightart's VTM storyline! It was so fun to get to draw some earlier medieval English costume, thank you so much again!

Last session, Emir adopted/stole a strange boar from inquisitors and named her Priscilla. I'm sure she won't cause any issues <3

Some stylised sketches of the Dark Ages coterie and their other halves ✨

Emir and Tertius (in his piggy form), and of course Leo and Godwin.

It was under the grace of the sullen oak tree, Pantaleo Di Medici met the embrace of death, and stepped from the threshold of the living, into the shoes of a child of Caine. January 1st 1349.

---

Leo was embraced by Domitor Edmund, and Close friend, Tertius, under the oak tree. Edmund, fearing his blood would not be enough to embrace Leo he called on Tertius' assistance.

Leo's friends, his family, his lovers watched on as Leo died and was once again reborn...

Not as a proud Ventrue nor valiant Gangrel, but a faulty Catliff.
