#vtr: jazdia

[kovarski]

Finished a story chapter in our VtR game, wrapping up our adventures in New York. Turns out grenades can resolve most of your vampire problems.

Jaz lost her ghoul. He was possessed by a Strix and ran off somewhere 😭 Now Jaz has to have Ranch Dressing handle all her day affairs.

I have a bunch of exp to spend, which should be interesting. Jazdia already has maxed out disciplines for Dominate, Auspex and Gilded Cage. Might be time to buy her some more physical stats so she’s less of a wet tissue in fights, but eh. She’s a handguns expert so she’s never in the thick of actual combat. Her first point of damage didn’t occur until 6 months of playing the game, when she was kicked by the goat she was sacrificing.

I also gained some forbidden knowledge last session, and have the choice to learn one ritual from either Crúac, Theban Sorcery, or all rituals from Ahranite Sorcery if I pledge my soul to VII

What to pick…

Vampire update: Jaz from the 20’s themed Elysium from our last session. She’s gonna have her hands full pretty soon, her sire will be waking up from a trauma induced torpor and Jaz took on all political responsibility over her which I’m sure won’t have any major repercussions in any way. ☺️

Jazdia, my occult scholar with a degree in occult studies who owns an occult bookstore who has 5 dots in occult + a superstitions specialty, using multiple points of willpower over the evening, still failed every single occult roll of the night and ended up possessed :’ )

when you give your coterie every chance but they still slice open the haunted doll they won at a carnival on the changing station in a bar bathroom and get possessed

Some abandoned wips and unfinished sketches that have been sitting in drafts for some time!

Old vampire sketches and wips I pulled from an old iPad, they’re probably floating around this blog already but I feel like posting them again😌

[destinyapostasy]

My obligatory return from hiatus post vampires post

[destinyapostasy]

vampire sketches, because all I think about now is vampires. Featuring Jaz and her new ghoul.

Sorry for the lack of art over the past few weeks, I’ve been working on some illustrations I wanted to share but was then hit with some pretty severe insecurity and anxiety over the quality of my artwork. I’m working on it 😔

[destinyapostasy]

More Jazdia arts in anticipation of tonight’s session! I love my ventrue brat 🥺

[destinyapostasy]

I’ve been pushing myself on my character design lately, because I’ve always struggled how to depict just how BIG Grier is. So I wanted to do more images where I was more intentional with his design and the character silhouette.

Grier Bryson is another character from my vampire campaign, played by @ket-mofo

My witchy vampire oc Jazdia and her stuff

Working on some character inventory stuff, will be having these pop up on my commissions very soon 👀

[destinyapostasy]

Thinking about a new look for Jazdia (cause her hair is a pain to draw lols) and I’m really strongly leaning towards #1 for that raw chaotic bisexual energy radiating from it

The Gang Throws Revolution...Kind of

In which our Storyteller causes pain and suffering, feeding off our tears. The conclusion to our current story arc!

The coterie goes to Elysium, prepared with allies to overthrow Prince Oya

What Could Go Wrong

Oya mistakenly believes Grier is on her side

Grier gives an Inspirational™️ Speech 

Oya does not give in gracefully

She blows up

the fucking

SPACE NEEDLE

The space needle which is the source of Jaz’s Grandsire’s power, likely shattering his mind into a million pieces with its destruction

the space needle which was collecting ley energy for years and years and now snaps it all back into the city with a vengeance. 

Jaz frenzies at Oya

It’s less dangerous than it sounds. She is a noodle, physically

Grier effortlessly holds her back and kisses her head while she hisses like an animal, until she returns to her senses

There’s some movement to try to catch Oya before she escapes, but when the buildings start to shake everyone gets out of the building

By the time Lachlan beheads Oya, there’s no audience. He is annoyed. 

MOUNT RAINIER FUCKING ERUPTS

Kris is dead

Their Zelani friend Issac is blind, the current surge of energy causing him to experience several different futures at once. 

Lorna, the original Zelani, tells them she can help if they can reach a safe place

Everyone rushes into the van, after a tearful goodbye between Min and Drew

The city is on fire and about to be completely consumed by tidal waves and volcanic ash

They manage to drive through the chaos to a storage unit

Alyx crows, intending to go find Connor

Jaz dominates, forces her to stop and carries bird Alyx into the building

Most importantly, Jaz’s ghoul Lucien is with them and therefore is safe

Lorna does Something and everyone blacks out

Grier, Min, Lucien and Alyx wake up in an abandoned lot

Lenore wakes up in a basement 

Jaz wakes up in her old apartment

it’s 1994

IT’S 1994

WE TIME TRAVELED 

WE HAVE NO HAVENS, NO HERDS, NO MONEY

ALL OUR BELOVED NPCS NO LONGER KNOW US

OR ARE BABIES

also we found out Lenore is a fairy too 

[destinyapostasy]

Last night’s vampire highlights: 

Jaz deals with the loss of her sire and her unlife-long vinculum by immediately forming the first vinculum stage with Grier. 

Operation: Throw Revolution begins

Drew continues being an asshole to Jaz

Creepy abandoned amusement park full of ghoooooosts

“roll dex + athletics to throw the skull at Drew*

Grier stumbles into a bear trap while in wolf form and yelps

Jaz comes to his aid and immediately steps in another bear trap and breaks her ankle

Alyx shows off her new raven form

Lenore, unaware of this, smacks the object flying at her that is Raven-Alyx

Setting up plots to trick the Sheriff into meeting them so they can attempt to turn her against the Prince : / 

Jaz misunderstanding English social cues and accidentally assuring their friend that yes, he did offend Grier (Who was being butthurt about Connor not liking him)  

"So this is the weaponry that children learn nowadays" - on high school robotics

Alyx turning from cat form back to vampire while on Connor’s shoulder

Alyx turning from raven form back to vampire while on Connor’s shoulder

Grier has his first Public Gay Kiss-Bite
