Just Vibing Out Some Yautja Tongue Ideas... Total Just To Draw Them Eating.... Yep Totally Not For Future

So ive started thinking about Sabrina's extend family recently, through the sire connection and being actually adopted by Mina and vlad. but the first of her family im roughing out, Luiminta a 12th gen tzimisce who is focused on Koldunic sorcery and is very good at it, tho shes isn't very good at any physical disciplines or Vicissitude a traditionalist but Sabrina has got her kinda addicted to the internet its all quite in the village till you start hearing Lumi in the distance singing meme songs, Red Flags by Tom Cardy was a real problem around Tzimisce that can actually make human centipede

just a silly warm up sketch.

canonically when ever someone calls Sabrina a furry she hits them with "NYAN" while shapeshifting paws and the :3 face (totally not a abuse of her vicissitude ability )

"tragic" backstories

who would have thought drawing the key moments of a OC's life when they have a "tragic" backstory would mean you gotta draw the traumatic moments, like i didn't have to make it this bad for them. but no had to be scaring and nightmare inducing for them to build "character" writing it out is one thing (done that a bunch of times ) but having to sit and draw it just hits so much harder for me. but no i had to make a OC who's life got better after dying and becoming a vamp cos no happy well adjusted person likes to be a undead monster apparently

so while i joke about Sabrina calling a oppsie after be manipulated in to killing 6 caitiffs, shes actually really fucked up by it. not only was it the first time she has killed anyone,(knocked vamps in to torpor yes but never killed ) she was manipulated and used as a weapon for someone else's enjoyment, and the fact she could have avoided killing them just by pulling her hits and having more self control. but in this moment hearing the voice of her "farther " be it in her own mind or through sorcery him asking directly, the one thing that would hurts her the most "are you upset because you killed them... or because you enjoyed it?" (hes trying to help.... but is bad at it) and she doesn't know and now its worse so much worse

You know what I can't stand about VtM?

Camarilla apologism.

The Camarilla are monsters with rules, and they will use those rules to justify slavery and exploitation and abuse and control and murder, for ever. And people tell me these are the good guys. They're absolutely not. The Beast is sitting down at table and wearing a pretty dress and her table manners are ever so lovely and her dinner conversation sparkles, but you're still getting eaten alive. And you have to love it. They have made you love it. Nothing in their rulebook says they can't.

I have never actually run a Camarilla game. Not properly. I think it's because that level of authoritarianism makes me urge. It's weird, because I love Dark Ages Vampire with all my soul and those are the same rules, but Dark Ages Vampire doesn't have the "default sect" phenomenon, the expectation that you the players are going to be aligned with this side and therefore that's the right side because you the players are on it.

Woobifying the Sabbat and apologising for the Camarilla makes the real default protagonists of V1 - the Anarchs - even more toothless than they already are, burdened by their writers' failure to imagine a way out of the status quo (not blaming them for that, progressive politics are hard and it's only a bloody game, innit?). And as the game drifted more and more into Camarilla-as-default-vs-Sabbat-the-Anarchs-are-also-there... I don't know where I'm going with this, I was just confronted by the monstrosity of the Camarilla before I'd even had a cup of tea this morning and it's great horror but don't ever tell me they're the good ones. Don't you dare.

My tzimisce Sabrina, shes a "cleaner" for the sabbat, but spends most of her time working in the back of a club doing tattoos and cosmetic surgery for kindred with body dysphoria using her vicissitude skills (she can even do hair cuts but isn't very good at that ) honestly love playing her i just need our vtm players to actually sit down and play some more games. so i can get more inspiration and motivation to draw her more, (cyberpunk red as stolen our vtm time a bit more then we thought it would )

attention vtm community I require your cool tzimisces. please show me them please please please pl

If you think about it. The beckoning as written has a lot of fucked up orientalist connotations. Like, the elders are being summoned away to a war fought by their ancestors. Sure. But they had to backpedal from the whole "they're being summoned to the middle east" and then just kinda... didn't clarify what it meant for the gehenna war to be a global phenomenon. It's conceit as a narrative device relies solely on the elders vanishing into the savage desert and all that shit. It's just lazy writing amd we can do so much better.

It could be so interesting to have elders beckoned to strange places to fulfill some strange piece of a methuselah's goal. Just somebody stupidly powerful appearing one night in small town Alabama half delirious from the beckoning and believing that their sole purpose is to watch over the gas station and cast an esoteric amd seemingly nonsensical spell if they ever see a baby blue '68 El Camino pass through

Like. Get rid of the awful "disappear into the east" nonsense and do something interesting and appropriately alien with it.

RATE YOUR TRAITS [OC]

VTM OC: Sabrina Florence (real name Amelia Belle Drakulya)

Compassion: 7/10 In life she was a back ally doctor and helped everyone she could even those who couldn't afford it and never really lost all of that after being embraced.

Bitterness: 3/10 bitter nah shes loving unlife she knows she is basically a nepo vampire, she doesn't have time to be bitter.

Happiness: 8/10 again loving unlife her mortal life was rough but she pushed through it all to get to where she is, she literally has a homeless to princess story but as a vampire. so yeah the opposite of most other kindred

Politeness: 8/10 there were a bunch of etiquette lessons before dealing with vampire nobility, tho at her core she is still a underground pit fighter.

Chivalry: 10/10 being honorable is how she keeps her beast / predatory instincts in check, being chivalrous is tide pretty strongly in to that

Pride: 9/10 she is Vlad and Wilhelmina adopted and after some flesh crafting biological child and she knows it, she has pride in herself and being a vampire (refuses to even call herself kindred )

Honesty: 9/10 part of her being honorable she hates lying and manipulating people, even using her fake name to get around under the radar of the camarilla makes her feel a little ick

Bravery: 9/10 she is very brave but swings in to overconfidence a bit to often

Recklessness: 7/10 same as above her overconfidence makes her reckless,

Ambition: 7/10 her whole motivation is to get out of her fathers shadow and make a name for herself, tho what she actually wants to do with that she doesn't know, she wants to be recognized but shes kinda lost in the why of it all.

Loyalty: 10/10 her friends and family mean everything to her she has only ever had found family's and holds on to them tight

Love: 7/10 for romantic love shes capable of it and has had feelings that were close to it, she kinda wants it but isn't seeking it out if it happens tho she will fall hard

Sense of Family: 10/10 same as loyalty its the most important thing to her

Attractiveness: 6/10 her appearance is kinda irrelevant to her being a shape shifter and all but she dose always default back to the face and body Vlad and Wilhelmina made for her, even tho its just a little better then average its made in their image and its a gift se refuses to throw away

Agility: 10/10 shes the partys main fighter and shes is fast and agile AF and in her wolf form.. good luck cos most cars cant escape her :P

Sex Drive: 0-100/10 she has full control of her body/ brain chemistry so she turns off or massively cranks up her sex drive at will. (can and will do it to others if they ask ) not tagging anyone but i would love to see more with the breakdowns and reasoning for the numbers, i want to know more about your vamps!

“u attract what u fear” ahhh a vampire’s fangs in my neck so scary
