#garrett sr

[nightingaletrash]

the difference between how I play Garrett Jr and Garrett Sr is insane. Jr is the soul of stealth, doing his utmost to never get spotted or engage in combat - aside from cutscenes, he never gets spotted. He is the perfect ghost.

Meanwhile the only reason that Sr couldn't be considered High Chaos is because killing is amateurish and his rampages involve knocking everyone unconscious with a blackjack.

This is fanart for a really good Thief fic about Garrett Sr. It’s post Metal Age, pre Deadly Shadows, and ug, taff, its good.

I made one joke comparison between the Ocean House and Moira Aslyum and now I'm thinking about vtm x thief...

Garrett Jr is a Toreador. He's the least and most Toreador to ever Toreador because he's no social butterfly and doesn't take the best care of his own appearance, but his gear and armour are masterpieces and he craves all manners of beautiful things to stash away in his haven. He's also got that sense of Humanity often associated with Toreadors - he dislikes needless killing and prefers to keep his harm either temporary (such as knock outs) or indirect (via stealing). His disciplines would be Celerity and Auspex.

On the flip side of that, Garrett Sr is a Nosferatu. He can appreciate the value of a piece, but cares nothing for hanging onto it. He's just out to cover his rent and have a good time. If he has a thing against killing, it's for convenience's sake and professionalism rather than any concern for humanity. He just wants to be left alone. His disciplines are Obfuscate and Potence, though he put a point into Animalism during his alliance with Viktoria.

Erin fits the temperamental Brujah mold pretty well. She's impulsive, angry, defaults to violence and killing even when there are other options, and she's very passionate. She feels very strongly and very deeply, especially when it comes to the people she cares about. Unfortunately her anger makes it easy for those feelings to provoke strong reactions from her, for good or ill. She's got the good old one-two punch of Celerity and Potence, and puts some points into Presence later on.

The Queen of Beggars feels like a Malkavian to me; her cryptic phrasing, withholding of information, apparent ability to disappear/teleport at will, supposed power to see through the eyes of the beggars and rats, and her overall role in the story fits Malkavian pretty well. Her title feels like it'd be some kind of jab at the Ventrue. Auspex and Obfuscate are her preferred combo.

I think Basso is a Nossie; he's an information gatherer, the guy who gives out the jobs and lets others get on with it. His partnership with Garrett is novel considering that a Nosferatu and Toreador are usually at each others throats, but they make for a good team when it comes to thieving. He's got Obfuscate and Animalism, with Jenivere being his famalus.

Garrett Jr: no one can find the bodies if I don't leave any behind

Garrett Sr: no one can find the bodies if they're all unconscious

I'm finally playing the original Thief game, and I take Garrett Sr so seriously that I have committed to completing the first mission while carrying a vase I found in a chest.

Garrett Sr loves his vase :)

Okay, so first you take a job from the weirdo with the funhouse mansion, then you sneak into the walled off part of the City that's full of undead, and now you're taking instructions from the thing you were sent to steal? The thing that is in the Cathedral that says 'there is an evil thing in here, leave it alone'?

Fuck it, you deserve to lose an eyeball you stupid taffer, its not like you were using it to watch out for all the red flags

My favorite thing about Garrett Sr. is probably how he comes up with excuses to explain his thieving. The rent is due. If he'd just need money for the rent, there are like a dozen alternate things he could do to earn the coins needed. Beside, all these successful heists are probably enough to not have to worry about the rent ever again. Garrett Sr doesn't steal because he needs to eat and pay the rent. That are excuses he makes up to explain away why he steals. But in reality, he steals because he 's good at it and because he just likes it that much.
