Blue Rose party portraits! We’ve been playing this campaign for a little over a year, and a few months ago I began drawing the party. I’ve finally finished, so now we all have a unified look. Also we can all stare at the same thing now!

Sigmund (Human Fighter) is played by @mcsars. Solara (Half-vatazin Cleric) is played by @mystictheurge. Karin (Half-seafolk Warlock/Sorcerer) is played by @lordcaliginous. Marin (Vata Bard) is played by me. Ren’iannon (Vata Wizard) is played by @pink-is-the-only-choice. Kha (Rhycat Bastard) is played by our wonderful DM, @tamsynspeaks.

Tonight’s our last session for a little while, so I’m glad I got this done in time for a bit of a send-off. I’ve had a great time playing with and getting closer to all of you this past year, so here’s to the Five Stars and their favorite courtier.

FEAR. -What are your muses biggest fears? for Merry

FEARIrrelevance and impotence are two major sources of fear that come to mind. Merry got to where she is out of rebellion and a lack of better ideas. Considering the heavy and dangerous situation the Sons have gotten themselves into, that’s sort of a flippant reason. She’s good at some things, but all in all she’s a pretty bog-standard Brujah--she punches things and can impress people sometimes. 

What she fears specifically is not just dying, but getting destroyed, squashed like a bug, before she could ever do something worth her embrace. Or worse, that the Sons would need her in a crucial moment and she’d respond with her usual mediocrity. What’s easy to forget is that she was embraced very recently, at a young age, and she wasn’t sold on everything even then--it was more of an accident than anything. She’s aware that getting everyone out of this alive will involve more than punching and shooting and looking cool, but what exactly is beyond her.

PC on Lion

Most admirable quality: His consistency and sense of justice. Drugs, money, and guns are likely to make someone much more unstable feel empowered to do whatever they wanted for whatever reason, but despite being in a gang he seems pretty balanced. Most attractive physical feature: Methed-up PC apparently says his hair. Most annoying habit: He has been pretty inoffensive so far, really. I don’t think she’s noticed a behavior that annoys her yet.Something they would like to do with them: Maybe hang out more when they’re not on the run from the FBI, hear his story. Express her... appreciation for him letting her keep his gun.

Slip my hand from your hand Leave you dancing with a ghost

don’t it beat a slow dance to death?

I have just the best time at the table in my Blue Rose game. Here’s a moment from last week’s session featuring @lordcaliginous‘s Karin and @pink-is-the-only-choice‘s Ren’iannon.

Caliginous: Okay, here are your premade characters to choose from for tonight’s game. They’re all anime girls. Tam: I want to be the one with the cat. Kurze: I wanna be the juvenile delinquent. Me: Cool, I wanna be the one with the oujo laugh. Mike: I guess I’ll play the half-American foreign exchange student. [EIGHT WHOLE ASS HOURS LATER] Everyone: I WOULD DIE FOR THESE CHARACTERS.

Khalila: 9: Does your OC feel a pressure to achieve or are they content and calm with doing what they can at the moment?

Khalila is very solitary and as such doesn’t often have a lot of factors pressuring her to do something for the sake of show. Despite somehow flying her stolen motorcycle through a cramped alleyway while obfuscated and quieted and turning at the last moment to graze a hunter with a warning shot from the dark--she’s actually not all that much of a show-off, I swear. She’s typically the voice of reason and caution in the group and likes to think of herself as someone who keeps her gang safe, though she’s loath to either lead or mother them. If someone got themselves into trouble it’d easily be enough to spur her into action, though she plays favorites and, for obvious reasons, Clarence’s last act as a member of the coterie has made him all but dead to her.

When it comes to Clarence, Michaela, Lawrence’s killers, and Shelton, Khalila has no problems biding her time. She’s patient. All one has to do is put themselves in her sights and she’ll allow all the impulses she has been controlling since they first wronged her to run free.

Of course you would react to it... vile.

FEAR. -What are your muses biggest fears? for Pussycat

Being abandoned, or more specifically found that her uses have run out to warrant it. Her first moments as kindred were defined in the manner of her embrace, which was intended as a slight against the Toreador who had his eye on her rather than a desire to actually care for her as a protege. PC received very little guidance in the Camarilla thereafter, the amusement of what occurred having served its purpose, and so she went looking for a place where she could be appreciated.

Finding the Sons was in no way an accident, but despite her willingness to go along with their plans doesn’t feel she represents the things someone in an Anarch gang should. She isn’t a gangster, a veteran, nor is she particularly tough. Others who have similar backgrounds, or even knew one another prior to their embraces, have a more natural and steady position in the charter than she does, though she’s never had many ambitions of securing an influential position - still, despite feeling closer to a few members, PC believes she needs to be useful on top of that, or why else should she be kept around?
