Starting up refs for ArtFight! Here's my horrible Black Spiral Dancer Kinfolk Salubri lawyer, Lachlan <3 They would make Saulot proud in all the worst ways. I'm getting to play them in a Camarilla game *and* a Pentex mini-chronicle about shutting down an O'Tolleys health code lawsuit.

[ID in Alt Text]

Lachlan pretends to be a Toreador, and their art is - thank you to my friend for the objectively funny double entendre - dancing.

They have a small wyrm cult consisting of regular mortals and fomori who tithe them blood, as a means of feeding. This is as predatory and manipulative as actual cults are, because I think more Healer Salubri should have fucked up feeding habits, as a treat.

They work for Meyers, Feinstein, and Hargrett, specializing in environmental law. They grift activist movements to lead them astray and are the most performative virtue signaller ever.

Because "Humanity 7 Infernalist" is the thing that makes people immediately want to murder me dead on sight until I elaborate, Lachlan is a fucking crazy person who wants to reach Golconda so that they can temporarily purify themself so that the Wyrm can defile them anew from that enlightened state, plunging them down from the highest of heights. In other words, they're in the Pretanic Order and plan to dance the 9th Circle of the False Spiral after reaching Golconda, which they think will make them become a Maeljin Incarna or some shit. This is an insane person plan that will not work. In the meantime, they corrupt others much as a Setite might, enabling them towards their worst selves, but it's always just gentle nudges towards things people already had in them anyway. They're also just, the banality of evil? They're doing "infernalism" by WtA rules, not VtM infernalism, so instead of sacrificing babies to Satan for power, they're just finding loopholes in environmental regulations for the world's most evil companies, which is actually doing worse for the world in the long run even without factoring in anything fictional.

They're aligned with the Urge Wyrm of Lies, and they have a forked tongue as a Stigmata of the Wyrm from Maine DuBois, with whom they are pacted.

Their sire embraced them to "fix"/"save"/"redeem" them, but they were an out of touch elder Healer Salubri who was out of touch with how humans actually operate, so they got pulled out of a horrendously abusive situation, IMMEDIATELY blood bound 3 steps, and then repeatedly brain-blasted with Healer Valeren 5, which was intended to make them mentally healthy and cure all their mental illnesses and 'fix' their trauma but instead additionally stripped them of the ability to feel traumatized by the abuse they'd faced or organically process it and heal. It's left them kind of emotionally hollowed out even 50 years later and unable to feel strongly negative outside of frenzy. A good cathartic cry would probably fix them but they literally lack the capacity to. And they feel really empty, because yeah they were suffering before, but rage and hatred and despair are, in addition to being gifts of the wyrm, also incredibly human things they've been stripped of. They don't want to be cheerful all the time. There's a lot more psychological horror going on with "extremely alien out of touch high humanity elder salubri golconda seeker and extremely traumatized, disabled childe they're forcibly trying to 'heal' whether they want the help or not" but if people want more of their fucked up sire/childe lore I can spill elsewhere

Part of why they're fucked up is because their sire was killed by their family a year after the embrace and their sire's Toreador lover saved their life, trapping them in a life boon afterwards. They want outtttt.

HAPPY AROMANTIC VISIBILTY DAY RAHHHH

[powerbottombrucespringsteen]

The thing is nobody at pride is evaluating you to determine if you’re queer enough to be there because they’re too busy thinking “it’s so hot out” and “why is this lemonade 12 dollars?”

[thismetallicbird]

"needing a cane isn’t normal for someone your age" (concerned, not dismissive)

The duality of "If you even imply that being aro or ace condemns someone to a sad and lonely life I will fucking fight you"

and

"being aro and ace is the most isolating thing I will ever experience"
