So Sabrina Is Calm Collected And Outwardly Monstrous, But Follows A Strict Honor Code.

big old WIP of the first to pages for a 4ish page sequence for my Tzimisce Sabrina and her first test of the Protean beast forms... only posting a wip cos this is going to take a while and if i post about it im more likely to finish it

@knightouttatime

Doing this as a separate post, since I already reblogged TheSixthPlaneteer (and didn't want to spam him).

FTR, the Sabbat have always essentially been written as the closest to Actual Fascists in VTM (hence originally being the standard Enemy Only Sect), at least for the Modern Sabbat (though it was a thing from the beginning, since while the Camarilla encouraged Via Humanitas, the Sabbat only cared to destroy the old order and happily accepted anyone and everyone that would take the Vaulderie (which meant basically all the inhuman Roads), no matter their 'crimes').

Anyway, focusing on Modern Nights Sabbat here, they're to put it plainly: straight up vampire supremacist religious fanatics that happily accept being bound to eachother to prevent treachery.

The Vaulderie is by all accounts effectively a weakened version of the Blood Bond, but it's still the Blood Bond. For all the flak Clan Tremere gets for the Transubstantiation of the Seven and the enforcement of it, the Sabbat effectively have it the same, just with religious brotherhood flavour. It gets actively policed (there's a reason the Black Hand and Inquisition exist, and it's not because they're there to help Joe Lasombra fight the Camarilla) and you aren't real Sabbat unless you have a Vaulderie to your pack, which invariably involves some form of pseudo-religious ceremony (read: the Ritae) lead by the Pack Priest.

While they accept Caitiff into the Sabbat (see: Pander), it's quite self-serving: they just want to have more meat to throw at their enemies. They treat humanity as no more than chattel and will commit mass murder without blinking an eye, simply because it's the fastest way to harm "the enemy" (shovelheads don't come from nowhere, all of them were people, forced into being cannon fodder after probably consuming or killing those they were trapped with).

The Sabbat is, as a rule, a fascist organisation set up with religious symbolism and hollow claims about fighting "the good fight" (killing anties, tyrant elders and such) that does it's utmost to grind up everyone who could possibly want to change that (joining the alternate Paths of Enlightenment, an utter mockery of the Roads of old, is highly encouraged and low humanity is almost guaranteed).

As a side note, the one Path closest to it's original Road is the Path of Metamorphosis, because it already was basically just trying to shed your humanity and become the monster you supposedly are.

only thing that comes to mind today.

meanwhile Sabrina's old af 5th gen great grand sire (and biological father.. after some real heavy vicissitude work) is the fucking meme lord in the "Vamily" group chat.

Never let some invisibly wrinkled centuries old bloodsucker give you shit for being new bitch on the block. They think they’re sooo mighty and powerful bc they’ve survived for sooo long when like 90% of that timeframe there weren’t any guns or cameras or borders so they could kill some random defenseless lady, fuck off 1 village east, and nobody would blink an eye. Now you pop around the block for a lazy bite to eat and 8 electric eyeballs bear witness to your target pulling iron and filling your gut with 9mm rounds before activating an international manhunt on your ass. Camarilla execs haven’t ever dealt with this shit personally. Some of these dusty motherfuckers predate widespread literacy and have never budged from their Embrace city and it damn well shows. I’d like to see one of London’s mutant ass 5th gen’s go without a kine proxy for a week in the modern day. They’ll guaranteed fumble the hunt after centuries of Doordashing their drinks and get inquisitors with phosphor rounds driving them out of their safe space. Can’t drive, no ID, no credit card, no records, not a fucking drop of patience for interacting with mortals, good fucking luck starting up in a new city much less getting to it. Call me an insolent whelp again bitch i’ll run you over with my car and selfie your broke and steamrolled ass to the groupchat #GoGrampa

new giant viking age vampire priestess NPC just dropped could tpk the coterie.... 100/10 Sabrina would smash going to finish this later and do a lot more art of her also she doesn't have a clan yet so suggestions welcome

even the largest size maid dress Outis could find was lacking, seams its going to be custom made only, seamstress's/ tailors shouldn't be able to work out outis is a yautja just from measurements right... there are 8ft 6 285kg humans right... oh god her plus size surcharge is going to be crazy. was thinking about outfits for Outis and this interaction was the first thing that came to mind

oh damn hell yeah centaur styled Tzimisce love it ! and that face is fantastic

Luther could look like this But he chose to fit into society

this has been living in my monster lover brain for a while but i have been to stressed to draw it till now. the BIG SPOON yautja so with a king sized bed 5'11 human and 8'6 yautja the scale is pretty much right. these 2 really need to get some custom furniture made finding a place with high ceilings was easy enough door frames are still a issue though. and gotta hold your human space heater close through out the night
