Greetings and salutations!

This is @grimvestige's Vampire the Masquerade sideblog! (So you'll see me interact from there sometimes) It'll be 18+ only due to the nature of VtM.

This blog is ALSO for my vtm OC, Inigo! If a catalan knight from the 1800s dropped in 2000s Vegas is your jam, you'll like him!

You can RP with Inigo if you want!

Because I enjoy playing Inigo, I don't mind interacting in-character as him with folks, just indicate you'd like that by including a ⚔️ at the end of the initial interaction (or tags. as long as I can find it)

Check the intro post for Inigo for more info about that / my boundaries / etc

Interactions here won't influence chronicles, but chronicles may influence here! Think of the rp interactions here as non-canon but still respecting it's existence.

tell me about ingi's spice levels.

👃, 👂, 💞, 🔥, 🧸, 💐 :>

YEAHHHH OKAY ITS ASK TIME!!! (as a break from drawing teehee)

👃 : Does your OC smell good? Do they have a signature scent?

SDGKHDFKGJH NO LMAO. When he was a mortal, it was sweat and booze and sometimes blood. Now, as a kindred, it's probably his leather clothing on a night off (fuck yeah)! Blood on a busy night probably though. (How much of it is his??? ehhhh up for debate. Last time it was Jesse's.)

Coming home from a work night though? Oh god, I'm sorry to Inigo's roommates who are high enough humanity to smell the horse and alcohol from the Tournament of Kings. (Given the fact that they're into the knight thing though...maybe they don't mind. Especially because Inigo simply adores Llamrei so much.)

👂 : Does your OC have an attractive voice?

I think he does! The closest thing I have to a "voice claim" for Inigo is Crispin Freeman as Alucard but with a Catalan accent. (Apologies for the quality on the video). It's got a nice low rumble to his voice :]

💞 : Do they treat sex casually or do they view it as something with a lot of emotional weight?

Depends how much Inigo thinks his partner means to him! He's definitely capable of extremely casual sex. But as he's been able to explore more serious romantic relationships, he's been experiencing it with more emotional weight for the first time :] As it turns out, when he doesn't have to spend his sex life having to pretending he is any combination of heterosexual, not-a-vampire, and/or not-a-caitiff, not having to do that is insanely emotionally freeing.

🔥 : What’s a surefire way to make your OC get flustered?

All the players already know, but genuine affection that catches Inigo off-guard! You can say all the raunchy shit in the world to Inigo and he'll be cool as a cucumber and play along, but if you tell that guy you love him exactly as he is he'll turn into a puddle on the spot.

Or be Valentina and say literally anything raunchy I guess. Inigo gets weird about Valentina because she's something he feels he can't or shouldn't have. She inspires this weird need for him to be mildly modest around her for some reason.

🧸 : Into public displays of affection or are they more reserved?

AH THE AGONY OF THIS QUESTION!!! Inigo would love to be more publicly affectionate, but given that most of his relationships are queer and himself and most of his partners have some level of fame...they have to keep it on the down low. Inigo's definitely got some internalized fear of being ostracized by homophobes because of the time & place he was born in.

Inigo DID get to go on an incognito date with his Tzmiscie boyfriend Bren (hi Link!) where they were both fleshcrafted and THAT was a treat for him! The simple fact that he got to experience dancing with another man he loved in public was queer joy Inigo did not know he needed.

💐 : What is their courting style? How would they woo someone?

I think for most people, the knightly charm tends to work wonders, so that's what Inigo goes for! Lots of flirting and suggestive jokes so long as the other party seems receptive.

If he's really interested, Inigo tends to go above and beyond being sweet. He does shit like bringing people flowers from his work (since he gets a bunch of favors as the oh-so-charming Sir Mordred), remembering important dates, etc. Either that or being an annoying little shit, ask Willow or Martel how they know.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE ASKS!!!!!!!!!!! These were fun ones to fill out!! :>

“Why did you make me feel this way?” “I didn’t.”

Valentina & her sister attacked the coterie’s haven and Inigo may have ended up killing both of them. Also Inigo had shadow powers go apeshit so that's a fun mystery to solve :))))

THIS IS AN OC CHECKPOINT

give me 1 cool fact about your oc RIGHT NOW

[knightouttatime]

cw discussion of unorthodox self-harm in the context of a narrative / OCs

something @resetnegative and I have talked about is the idea that self-harm looks like a lot of different things, not just the usual cutting, overuse of meds, etc. It can look like self-destructive behaviors, done out of habit.

which is where I figured out that THAT'S how Inigo's self-loathing manifests.

He's constantly putting up with bad relationships and bad situations and just tries to power through them. He definitely doesn't do it consciously, but he IS smart enough to know he can't get away with something obvious without people who care about him noticing.

So why not try really hard to help his abusive ex and progeny deal with things so he can inevitably chide himself for being a useless sire? Why not try to help partners when they're prickly or having a depressive episode and get yelled and chased off? Why not push himself and risk stains from Oblivion? It's fine, it's all in the effort of being a good knight and being there for his people right? Who's going to argue with that?

[knightouttatime]

Elaborating on my own tags:

AND YET he would rather not live alone because he knows he'd do dumb shit that isn't good for him by himself. But he still doesn't like the idea of admitting out loud that he hates himself with obvious signs of it.

Inigo's too scared to get caught, but also too scared to actually admit he needs help.

Somebody shake this caitiff oh my god

If you were handcuffed to your girl blorbo with magical unbreakable handcuffs for 24h, would you be okay with this?

I trust her, I’ll be fine

I trust her, but it’ll be a stressful 24h

It depends on what kind of day we’re having

This is gonna suck…

Inigo is going to be insufferably annoying when he learns about "that's what she said"

Black Metamorphosis

[knightouttatime]

inigo did a fun little ritual with sariel ( @salubyte's character willow's sire) to manifest the beast and learn a cool merit to help with frenzies!!!!

obviously his beast is represented as him But In The Coffin and With His Full Armor and Staked! And of course the helmet is one of those helms based off a dog, specifically the berserker/black armor in Berserk. (But totally actually it's a dip, a vampire dog/hellhound in Catalan myth)

and uhhhhhh well inigo maybe didn't do a great job getting it to heel the first time because it maybe bit his arm off and he staked it and dragged it back in the coffin :) like darios did to him

its fine tho inigo got sariel to throw him back in (slightly against her will but he's stubborn) after healing him and managed to talk it down and somehow ended up knighting himself??????

lucius my beloved mess of a vampire

[frodo-of-the-nine-fingers]

immortality as theft (you have to steal life from something else) immortality as parasitism (there is something else inside You that is keeping you alive and you become less of yourself more and more the longer it stays in you) immortality as violence (everything is trying to kill you because everything is supposed to die and the universe will always try to find a way to right the wrong that is You) you understand

[ninewheels]

#at least once a month I think about that one post about laminating a paper towel#and how that makes it immortal but also forever prevents it from fulfilling its true purpose#yes you will live. but at the cost of everything that makes you You
