"He bathes in milk and honey. Scents his sick, parched skin with rosewater. Refuses to clothe in anything fit for the social standing of a Leper! I wish him put in torn, dirty rags for eternity! I wish him dragged through mud each evening! I wish... I wish him gone. I detest his kin, but other Rats at least have the decency to not show their likeness in court. I could not stomach the way he paraded among the Harpies, among the Roses, all in spite of his curse! And I saw how he reveled in my repugnance, I recognized well the twisted ecstasy he took in that utter disgust and beheld every inch of it with his fiendish myriad of eyes! He kept up still the civilized façade of a high-born and, imagine that, coquettery! Ill-mannered allusions!... This shouldn't be and he shouldn't be. Not in my court. Not an Árpád. No, never." - Géza Árpád, (not, in fact) the Prince of Esztergom; EDIT: in fact, he is Prince of Esztergom in our chronicle after all (the storyteller changed his mind and returned to canon)

meet Jácint Árpád - a Nosferatu siren, socialite from the court of Budapest & Bulscú's protégé on the Path of Pleasure

I keep reminding myself mediocre photobashing is still far better than ai

[ID: A digital portrait of a pallid nonbinary vampire with short, choppy, side-shaved platinum blonde hair and several piercings. It has wide-open white eyes with red sclerae and heavy black eye shadow. Its ear has two points and a black behind-the-ear hearing aid with charms and chains attached. It has black lipstick and bloodstained mouth. Its throat shows signs of decay beneath stringy skin, and beneath its tattered shirt is a hint of blood. It wears a fur coat on top. The background is dark and splattered with blood, with a textured bright green halo behind its face.]

started a V20 victorian era game but didn't have the energy to sit down and figure my malkavian until now,, anyway her name Lacy Steller and she is a budding alienist who is very invested in the progression of mental health studies, the transition towards more humane treatments and the separation between the religious/scientific view on what madness was in that period,, she's a pedagogue/visionary who believes if she can find the source of all madness and understand how it develops in different individuals she can potentially find a cure and she is not at all delusional or spiralling trust me on this guys,,

Storytime Did you know that there was a relatively obscure French-only Dark Age V20 book that came out very late in the lifespan of V20 that gave the True Brujah a whole new backstory? The original backstory of the Trujah comes from Dirty Secrets of the Black Hand, and was basically this: once upon a time there was a Brujah Antediluvian. He was very cold and logical and rational, and Embraced childer that were cold and rational like him. Until he met a fiery warrior woman named Troile and Embraced her and she, ungrateful for the gift he gave her, diablerized him and usurped him as Antediluvian, and the Brujah who came after her were as fiery and passionate as her. But the original childer of Brujah also begat childer of their own, and this offshoot bloodline is the True Brujah Then Revised edition came out and said that, no, actually the Trujah are wrong, Brujah only ever had one childer, Troile, and the Trujah were dweebs who discovered the original Brujah's time travel powers and decided they were special (ignore that this explanation makes no sense). Well, along comes France by Night, which, through the backstory of a Trujah blacksmith named Ayr L'Enclume, gave us a completely new backstory of the True Brujah. In this version, Brujah indeed only begat one childer, whose name was Troile. Despite his cold, logical nature, he was entranced by Troile, due to her having the same scholarly disposition of hers which she mixed with a fiery, passionate personality. He Embraced her, and the two had the perfect sire-childe relationship, with Troile happy to receive the wisdom her sire passed down, and Brujah happy to receive the youthful modern experiences of his childe. But then Troile, passionate as she was, discovered herself a woman named Catubodua, who had the passion of Troile and the wisdom of Brujah. Unable to help herself, Troile Embraced Catubodua, breaking the rule of the second city that none of the fourth Generation should Embrace themselves. Her sire, Brujah, rather than punishing her, decided to take Catubodua as his own childe, adopting her, and concocting a story that she was actually his childe, while he secretly educated her together with Troile (probably making this the first co-siring arrangement in vampire history). But, eventually, Troile became paranoid that the lie would be discovered by the other Antediluvians, and, when the other Methuselahs started rising up against the Antediluvians in the Second City, she feared that Brujah was soon to turn on her by revealing what she'd done. So she struck first, diablerizing Brujah in line with the official story that all Brujah know. Catubodua, however, lived on, still bearing the curse of the original Brujah Antediluvian, since she'd been Embraced before Troile became an Antediluvian herself, and thus, the progeny she both sired and educated later on, took more after the original Brujah line, focusing more on philosophy and scholarship, with the warrior aspect being secondary and, of course, cultivating the Temporis discipline. Personally, this is my favorite version of the Trujah backstory
