I see a river, it's oceans that I want

you have to give me everything, everything's not enough

Caius Lennox, Toreador of New Orleans. Pre-chronicle bio below.

Born to a single mother in Miami, Caius grew up adoring the stage, theater, and performance in general, fostered by his mother's insistence on dragging him to every community theater and park performance she could. She encouraged his artistic pursuits and the two were terribly close. Idyllic, in a way, but a vampire story rarely stays as such. Heart disease took her suddenly when he was 13.

Left alone, he was shipped off to his nearest living relative, his aunt Renee, living in a family home deep in nowhere important, Louisiana.

Renee was in many ways, the opposite of his mother. She resented caring for her sister's boy, and her religion became an excuse to berate and abuse him. It was an evening two or three years into her care when he found a brochure for a conversion camp in her mail. That night he ran away to New Orleans, no further hesitation. Anything would be better, even living on the streets.

Caius survived, the next few years, barely but survived all the same. He eventually turned to work for a brothel, just to keep food in his belly and a room to sleep in. It was bleak, a parade of johns and people using him, but it was living, at least.

To escape the feeling of just surviving to the next day, to find something he could connect with the old parts of himself, he began to frequent local gay clubs. Seeing the drag queens on stage, he found something that resonated so terribly within him, he couldn't live without it. To be a diva, a star, surrounded by people like him, embraced by the night, it clicked. "This is what I am meant to be."

Caius began performing, then, as Clover Clarke, the girl who could be everything he never was. Caius was low-key, she was this ditzy, lovable slut, kind and loud and one never to be looked away from. Any money he got, whether from johns or tips, anything, was quickly funneled back into this newfound passion, resonating within him.

This was the stage that put him on the radar of Prisma Rowe. She met him after seeing one of his performances, and they kept running into each other. Caius couldn't explain it, but she was magnetic.

Prisma was, as she put it, "From a little bit of all over," not native to the city but had been there some time, performing in a rotating handful of punk bands, mostly on guitar and vocals. She took Caius under her wing, letting him stay at her place and telling him, "Don't worry about all that other stuff. Do drag. I'll take care of the rest."

Given a place to stay and even funds for his work, he blossomed. He happily learned to deal with Prisma's quirks (slightly unhinged at times, never, ever, go into her room during the day, and sometimes he'd have to care for her after a particularly rough bender, among other things. Honestly she was kind of a mess.) and eventually, she asked if he'd like to have her help to be better than ever before, to be something truly spectacular.

He agreed.

She Embraced him into Clan Toreador.

Several years later, he's a mover and a shaker in New Orleans, no longer a fledgling. Caius has decided it is time to start making a name for himself and leave his mark on this city.

Don't know if this has been posted yet. But a development update has been released about Bloodlines 2 just half an hour ago.

It looks to have character customisation. Woo, no more new age haircut for an elder!

I like the graphics. It is being postponed in release to early 2025. Hopefully, that is a good thing.

Vampire the masquerade and the world of darkness belong to Paradox entertainment

What can I say? Just another vampire. Can a Lasombra wear pink? Is this against the clans rules? Questions...

.

Also, this one is an old wip that I decided to finish. Who else has tons of unfinished stuff with no time to do it?

New art for the little shadow in the corner

[vodkasoakedrose]

I sketched all the ghouls I could remember from the game… they’re probably pretty inaccurate because I drew them all from memory and, uh, the last time I played vtmb was months and months and months ago, lol

there were a few times while playing that I thought it would have been way more interesting to have been playing as a ghoul or even a thin blood - really emphasizing that vampire immortality kinda sux - you’re still the littlest cog in vampire society bureaucracy, just like you were when you were a human! yay!  It would have been cool to really emphasize that powerlessness…

don’t get me wrong, I didn’t feel much like an immortal badass playing as a regular vampire either, but, you know… that might have also been because I was playing gangrel, trying to use melee combat with my left hand while my right hand was temporary out-of-order

also: I fucking hate vandal. he scared the shit out of me the first time I walked into the blood clinic. fuck that dude

Juuuuust a totally random question, but wondering for cryptid loves outside the notable like mothman/bigfoot/flatwoods monster/fresno night crawlers/nessie Which do people crave more of

sad hyena hours with Saf, more SPCs I don't draw enough

One of the gangrels running around 1348 Oxford, childe of Tertius, travels took her far from home to London then Oxford via Constantinople. Trying to find salvation for past deeds. Survived a blood hunt, just try to stop a girlboss.

wanted to draw this moment from our vtm game long ago!

Veronica's friend gangrel anarch Jack came to New Orleans (presumably) to help local gangrels streighten their position in the city during conflict with sabbat

Veronica had to meet with him but she was looking after Monica(fae girl) at the moment and couldn't leave her alone (it wasn't safe at such time) so she just took girl with her to the nightclub, where Jack said he'd be waitng Veronica

Monica couldn't walk well after just recently waking up from coma, so Veronica was carying her around like that (It also would be impossible to sneak around and move fast with a wheelchair anyway)

When friends noticed several shady guys(vamps?) going after them - they were on second floor of the club, so they decided to jump in order to escape the chase. Veronica trusted Jack more than herself to cary Monica while jumping down - girl didn't even get a scratch

Nightclub, pole dancers, chasing, adventures all together - need I say Monica had ton of fun this night!

Even tho Charlie (Monica's step dad and also Osato's character) was very upset that Veronica took girl to such a lecherous place XD
