Harper's haven v2.0! - some tweaks and details added.
Re-arranged a little so she now lives in her dungeon as her room, and her touchstone Henry, her bestie and piercist gets the flat bedroom and they share the living area with her pet ghoul/familiar ravens, Sunny & Luna.
What do you mean you don't waste days in a 3D floor planner making haven plans for your character that body cares about but you?... Harper's haven. Ground floor tattoo studio, second floor dungeon, third floor flat that'd you'd be lucky to ever see.
[ I used floorplanner.com ]
Ah. See, her partner Vinny was embraced first, as they unknowingly lived in Willard's domain (Vinny's Sire, Harper's Grand-Sire).
Vinny got roped into a bad situation because of a shitty friend, he ended up storing drugs in his auto garage and being pressured by a gang to keep helping them in this way. Harper hates drugs and never liked this friend because of their drug problem, so their relationship was going through a rocky patch because of this mess.
But in reality Vinny was also dealing with having become kindred and being forced by Willard to resolve this problem and get rid of the drugs and gang as he didn't want them in his domain.
At only two weeks old as kindred, Willard's deadline was fast approaching and so.. not really knowing what he was doing, Vinny panicked and thought maybe if Harper was in this with him, together they could get rid of Willard.
Vinny didn't have enough time to really think things through. He didn't explain to Harper what he was doing when he embraced her, he just asked her to trust him.
Harper naturally didn't understand what was happening, all she knew was that her partner was for some reason killing her and she was dying. When she awoke, she was in fear frenzy, and that's how she accidently ate Vinny as her first meal.
She's somewhat blocked it out in her mind, and her first memory is just being stood over his body, and of course, Willard soon after finding her in that state.
Harper's beast took on Vinny's voice as a way to manipulate and lead her astray. Willard did try to explain the beast to her, but allowed her to continue believing it's Vinny as a means of suicide prevention and just sadistic curiosity. She believes it's really him, causing her hunt to try and find a way to undo what she did.
Harper: Tremere - What is something your OC wanted and got it for themselves, no matter how selfish or high the cost was?
Harper is somewhat selfish, but I'm not sure there is anything of great value to her personally that she's managed to obtain so far in kindred life lol. She's tried and failed and got answers she doesn't like maybe.. but I think in the long run the results are useful even if she doesn't like them.
I think perhaps the worst she's done so far, although not intentional, is physically hurt one of her coterie mates with her zimmy bs 'experiments' to try and figure things out.
The first being convincing Joseph (coterie Gangrel) to allow her to try and move his heart with flesh crafting - she pitched it as it'd make him harder to stake, but left out half of her intentions that she was trying to feel if flesh crafting could 'hold a soul' in some way. Not that she was going to do anything to his soul! (she was looking for a way to undo her diablerie). He took an agg damage for it, but he quickly figured out she was hiding some intent and she had to explain herself. But hay, he agreed as part of their deal for some physical stat alterations he wanted, and didn't ask too many questions so..
Joseph then wanted to UNDO those stat changes he'd paid for, so Harper got another experiment in exchange involving taking three small pinches of his skin too see if she could make parts of kindred flesh survive on it's own or melded with herself (again, seeking a way to undo diablerie, she'd need a new body to be a vessel). A small harm, but harm none the less.
And the third.. Joseph sure doesn't ask enough questions. He blundered his way into asking if could sit in on one of Harper's dominatrix sessions with a client 'to explore sexuality as a kindred'. So of course, in exchange, another bs zimmy experiment. He didn't like the idea of letting her reach through his pelvis to fuck about with his prostate, but he agreed to put his hand inside her abdominal cavity.. because she was curious what it felt like herself, and also maybe trying to figure out if there is something wrong with her and she's accidently given herself a weird zimmy guro fetish.. which yes.. she enjoyed it.. for all of 2 second before her beast (that is masquerading as her bf/sire she accidently diablerised) fury frenzied at her 'cheating'.. so uhm.. yeah.

Phoenix: Toreador - Describe your OCs aesthetic in the worst way possible, then tell us what it actually is.
STUPID SEXY DRUG USER EXCENTRIC.
Ok fo'real Phoenix's aesthetic varies depending on his effort and vibes for the occasion. But he bounces around something between sexy metrosexual rock star, bohemian pirate, flamboyant hippy, maximalist drug raver, kidcore silly, and a dash of vintage clown stupid.
He also has the stunning merit and quite athletic, so this dumbass can make anything work really.
I use Pinterest for mood board kinda ideas lol, so you can take a look at the clothing vibe I'm trying to get across here!
https://uk.pinterest.com/grizguts/phoenix-drip/
But also, some bonus outfits I've had him in so far;
Gwen: Church of Set - Is your OC able to be their true selves? If not, why? Is there anyone they can be real in front of?
Gwens life from a young age has been one of bitter service and sacrifice to others, taking on the burdens and doing what needed to be done. I think she started to loose sight of herself when she was young as kine, when her family started to fall apart. She picked up the slack and just soldered on going through the motions of what she had to, somewhat of a shell of who she could have been. Then once she was embraced it was just a continuation of one foot in front of the other to survive. I think having her memory wiped also didn't help (She's a Herald of Mithras! Fall of London game), but her kind-of adopted-childe-sibling, @enthralledyet's malkavian Dizzy, is probably the closest she has to being real with anyone through shared trauma and history together. Dizzy's Sire manipulated Gwen's Sire into becoming nearly a wight and embrace her, then they killed him to take Gwen for himself to mould her into a guard dog for Dizzy. Gwen certainly doesn't like how it came about when she learnt the truth, but she only hates their Sire for it and still sees Dizzy as the closest thing she has to a home. But at the same time, there's some weird unresolved gay feelings she never got around to even thinking that much about in regards to Dizzy lol.
Because how many ask games are too many? Trick question, there's never enough! We all know we adore talking about our Kindred and hearing about others.
Send as many Clans/ Cults of your choice to the reblogger, plus their OC name, let them answer the relevant questions about their Kindred. The questions are based around the Clan/ Cult rather than you have to send the cult or clan the OC is in. ♥️🩸
Add your OC's names in the tags and share!
Don't forget to send asks to the person you reblogged this from!

Marking some moments that been happening during our VtM Chronicle 'London Calling'. My gurl Harper continuing to have a nice time with her coterie...
She frenzied seconds after she enjoyed Joseph fondle her guts, but hay, lets not talk about that.
Birthday gift to myself arrived.. I already inherited wedding band from my Grandma that only fits on my little finger. Got myself two new ones to match.
I will never forget which of my OC Harper's fingers are tattooed black again lol...
Tagged by NOBODY, I just saw the thing and want to do the thing.
Last Song:
Was on my notifications of artists I follow bringing out something new.
I'm also gonna throw in two extra from my VtM characters lists;
My VtM character Phoenix got off his face feeding from someone on copius amounts of drugs and after some dancing, woefully ruined things for his coterie mate Lucas who made the mistake of telling Phoenix he could wingman for him. So this song got put on his playlist and is a banger lol.
My VtM character Harper recently had her coterie mate Joseph enquire about her job as a dominatrix. He got to sit in and watch a session with her and a client, but in exchange she wanted to do zimmy bullshit experiments again (she'd previously fondled his heart and gave him agg damage trying to move it so he'd be harder to stake- and also maybe she was trying to see if she could physically hold a soul for uhm.. reasons). Joseph turned down her suggestion of letting her grab at his prostate, but agreed to her idea of him putting his hand insider her abdominal cavity.. which she enjoyed and discovered she's accidently given herself some sort of weird zimmy guro fetish. But then she fury frenzied, so.. but lets not talk about that.
Currently Watching:
Ohgawd I'm trying to keep up with a lot of things atm.
Private Nightmares (VtM Chronicle run by Alex Ward).
Critical Role Campaign 4 (First Critical Role I watched was Candela Obscura, now also trying to go back and watch from the begning of Campaign 1 lol).
Blood Money (VtM Chornicle run by MagiRPG).
Rupauls Drag Race.
Googlebox.
The Traitors.
Waiting for new season of Interview with a Vampire.
Just finished last season of Beastars.
Catching up on Dorohedoro.
Waiting for finale of The Amazing Digital Circus.
... and a never ending list of things on my to-watch list lol
Current Obsession:
Vampire the Masquerade, I am very much enjoying the two chronicals I'm playing in atm. Also spending a lot of time on doing the notes for it.. then the notes have gotten so long, I'm doing short notes on the notes lol.
Art art art art art... I know it takes me forever to finish peices these days, but if I'm not doing something VtM related, I'm drawing, or watching something to relax. And that's about it. I'm a creature of habit and routine lol.
Currently Reading:
Gonna be honest, if I can't podcast, audiobook or text-to-speak it, it's unlikely I will read something in full (unless it's RP but I guess that's different). I much more enjoy watching things when they get the movie or series adaptations. Reading takes too much concentration and time for me. Am a slow reader I guess, but fast listener/watcher.
Currently Working On:
Ohgeeze. Lots atm. VtM notes and notes of the notes etc.
Art wise I'm trying to finish polaroid portraits of characters. A ref sheet for my newer VtM character Phoenix. Also ref sheet for my other back up character Daisy. A few WIPs of Harper in the works. I also do a bunch of IC doodly things I don't post, like emojis or a IC calendar and notes and sketches related to VtM games etc.
Last Google Search:
"Blood pressure chart"
Because I'm currently having to take my blood pressure for a week for my doctor. Not that unsual, just usual check up stuff since I've chornic conditions.
That's not very fun though so I guess the last more interesting one would beee... lol
"Rat Ball Joint Doll"
Tagging: nobody, but technically ALL OF YOU.
If you see this and want to do it, consider it me tagging you.
AAaaaaaAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAaaa!!!
I love et! Thank you so much, is rare I treat myself to some art by others so stoked to have got this, she looks wonderful in your style! Amazing work @kavalyera and so glad you enjoyed drawing her too! <3
@diableriedoll you're the best ilu! ;3; <3
So yeah, give me a... 26 for Harper and a 50 for Phoenix :3
26. What would your mortal self think of you now?
Harper sighs and folds her arms, resting bitch face firmly in place as she considers it for a moment before answering "I don't think I'd have believed a word of it if your tried to tell my mortal self about everything.. But I think if you could get it through to me, it'd probably not be that far off how I feel now? Digusted, guilty and ashamed by some things. Curious and morbidly facinated by others. I think if given any insight into how things play out, I'd do everything within my power to try and stop it all though".
50. If you were a warning sign, what would it say?
"You mean like a warning about me, or a warning sign that's just got my kinda vibe, or if I literally turned into a warning sign where I stand, what would it say? I need specifics on this man! Ok I guess I can give multiple answers, what about- oh!- umh- hang on.." Phoenix gets out his phone, tonge poking out the side of his mouth as he seems to focus on finding something. After several mintues he throws his head back with an annoyed groan.
"Jesus fucking christ, what a waste of time! Stupid quiz didn't even give a sign just some stupid summery with no image! Okok- hang on- I'll just look for images.." he throws up a hand gesturing for you to stop leaving before he goes back to his phone. He's got it this time, just give him a minute.
"OK! If I was a warning, I guess I'd have to be this one"
"And if it's just a vibe, this is my vibe"
"And if I turned into a sign right now, it'd be this one!"
"OH!- What about graffiti sign?"
"Bonus sign! I have this one on me at all times!"
"Hang on! What about neon sign?"
"I like this neon sign too-"
"What about street sign?"
"What other kind of signs are there?- Oh! What about th- hay! come back! Where are you going?! You asked!"

I am still new to Tumblr culture and how this stuff works beyond just posting my own stuff and disapearing into the abyss lol, but this seems fun so sure why not (And you get a Tumblr exclusive preview of my newest character and his WIP of his art because I'm so slow it's taking me forever to draw him a ref sheet lol).
Offering up my two current characters;
Harper - Tzimisce neonate, Tattooist and dominatrix.
Phoenix - Malkavian fledgling, idiot thief.
Polaroid portrait of Henry, my character Harper's touchstone, her bestie and piercer at her studio. Precious punk boi she's having a hard time with atm trying to keep him safe, but Harper seems to always be having a rough time so..
Needle felt sculpture of fat rat Emil, boss man of the underground and familiar to a nice nosferatu called Penelope. Offical mascot for our VtM game and most beloved NPC lol. Made as a gift for our Story teller. Originally was just going to be a loaf with huge balls, but they requested no balls so I made some stumps at the front to have them pass as 'feet'.. but we know the truth.
My clients' London Coterie - from the very start to receiving an invitation to the Camarilla Elysium! Don't get recruited...
They're a little more exhausted, missing someone... but going strong! Happy anniversary you guys it's been an honor to be one of your artists for a year!!
That feeling when your VtM OC makes the most colossal fuck up in game yet.. but manages to at least claw back some humanity in the nights that followed.
