The VTM Campaign I was part of ended, it was a journey that I will forever take in my heart.
I deeply thanks @malakaimessor For creating this wonderful adventure.
Danya was the character I played and she was so important and positive for me, I love her journey and everything about her.
So I hope you will enjoy some info about her💜
Would you like more character sheet like this for the rest of the cast?
All these characters are from an RPG campaign called; Gehenna's Gates, set in the world of "Vampire The Masquerade".
Vampire the Masquerade: Gehennah's Gates
Danya Vetranov, hailing from the Ravnos clan, arrives in London with her circus, accompanied by Luc Gossens of the Bruja clan. As the story unfolds, they cross paths with Elizabeth De Lacy, a Ventrue. Together, they strive to forge a harmonious coexistence between humans and vampires, a stark contrast to the prevailing exploitation and predation of humans.
What they don't know is that they are merely pawns in the had of an obscure figure: Sargon The First Hunter or The Omniscent. A human that sold his soul just to eradicate vampirism from the face of the earth, becoming a monster much dangerous and scary than anything the world of darkness can offer.

🦇 MEET THE MAIN CHARACTERS
🃏 DANYA VETRANOVA – Ravnos
A charming Ravnos with a difficult past. Her sire took her to the circus for her extraordinary divination skills, and for many years, that place was her home. The events she experienced in London had a profound impact on her life, propelling her to become the heart and soul of her coterie. She has a natural talent for bringing people together and considers those close to her as her family. She's willing to do anything to protect them, without any hesitation. (OC – My character) Character Sheet
🔥 LUC GOSSENS – Brujah
A politician who worked in the shadows to put his party in charge. But after an unfortunate accident, he got back up like a Sireless vampire. Hunted down by Camarilla, he was forced to hide in the circus, where he bonded closely with Philippe, Danya, and Simone, becoming the guard who protected them. Even now, as head of government, he is ready to face anything to defend the family he has painstakingly built for himself. Arrogant, tough, stubborn, and sometimes overbearing, but a solid pillar to lean on in times of need.
👑 ELIZABETH DE LACY – Ventrue
Coming from a rich and noble family, she lost everything at 17, only to regain it with her own strength and the help of a charming Ventrue who took her as her initiate. As beautiful as she is ambitious and the last of her clan in London, she juggles the government and her various thorny relationships. Haughty and snobbish, she also hides a kind side in her own way.

🧛♂️ Allies & Important NPCs
Rudolf the Vile (Caitiff/Lasombra): A deeply broken ex-soldier and vampire of mysterious origin. A killer seeking meaning.
Aaron Frost (Toreador): Cursed elder and once-sire of Rudolf. Believed dead. now returned.
Arthur (Human?): Former vampire hunter turned pacifist. A fatherly light in the group’s darkest hours.
Philippe Chevalier (Toreador): Former circus director, fashion genius, and Luc’s lover. Together, they raise Simone.
Simone Levesque (Ex-Malkavian / Human / Lupine): Once a vampire child, then miraculously made human. Now cursed again.
Meinwald W. Becker (Brujah): Ex-Sheriff of London, a beacon of hope whose death shook the Coterie.
Jonah / Sargon the Omniscient (Malkavian): The whale-loving, child-like being with terrifying power and an uncertain nature.
🦹♂️ Antagonists, Dark Figures & Questionable Allies
Anselm Godwyn (True Brujah): Former Prince of London, time-manipulating Archon, and Danya’s tragic ex-lover.
Ranya the Witch (Ravnos): Deceived Danya to serve a demon. Now a chaotic ally with unpredictable humor.
Samuel Sharabi (Ravnos antitribu): Sardonic Sabbat Archbishop who lost his relics (and limbs) to Ranya.
Devon Eskarra (Lasombra): Ex-serial killer, Elizabeth’s cursed consort, haunted by his past and his sister.
Jan Pieterzoon (Ventrue): The ultimate political survivor. Untrustworthy, useful — and a constant thorn.
Alastor Van Helsing: A human (?) vampire hunter so stereotypical that he doesn’t realize he’s surrounded by vampires.
Rebecca Eskarra/Rogier (Lasombra/Angelis Ater): the most powerful being in the world, as terrible as she is. On the red list for several good reasons.
RELATIONSHIPS & CONNECTIONS
#gehenna'sgateships All the Shipping/Relationships posts!
Danya Vetranov / Rudolf the Vile Rudolf is a wounded, violent man whose growing relationship with Danya teaches him tenderness. She’s one of the few he would choose to protect over himself. Their bond is intimate, raw, and full of pain and reluctant hope.
Danya Vetranov / Anselm Godwyn A destined love, broken down by a demon's scheme and Anselm's pride and stubbornness, ended in his death by Danya's hand. or was it? A True Brujah like him found a way to come back from death just for her. (and his wounded pride)
Danya Vetranov / Anselm Godwyn / Rudolf the Vile Danya is emotionally and spiritually entangled with both Rudolf and Anselm. One is a damaged man trying to be better; the other is a ghost trying to repent. They despise each other, and Danya is desperate to make them get along.
Danya Vetranov & Jonah (Sargon) In the beginning, it was impossible to see Jonah's true nature behind his childlike, wonder-filled attitude. But when it became clear that he was one of the most powerful and darkest beings in the world, and everybody saw a monster in disguise... Danya saw a child who desperately needed a mother, and she vowed to become just that. But in the end, it wasn't enough to save him.
Danya Vetranov / Jan Pieterzoon The Ventrue Justicar never expected to have his ass saved by a Ravnos neonate, and one looking so completely clueless. Well, he can be wrong. Once. Danya saw him at his lowest, and more than one moment of weakness, and from there they formed an unlikely friendship... but it would have been a lie to say that there wasn't some tension as well.
Elizabeth De Lacy / Devon Eskarra Devon and Elizabeth’s relationship began in fear and sadistic amusement, evolving from a tense cat-and-mouse game into a wary alliance. Initially using each other for their own ends, their forced proximity bred trust — sealed when Devon saved Elizabeth’s life after her clan’s destruction, a gesture she would later return. What emerged was a delicate balance of power, each trying to outplay the other while ignoring the attachment that inevitably grew between them.
Elizabeth De Lacy / Alastor Van Helsing Elizabeth and Van Helsing’s bond began as a chaotic clash. Their cohabitation sparked constant bickering, sharp teasing, and undeniable attraction. Opposites bound by shared goals, reluctant respect, and a growing, complicated affection. Despite clashing worlds and his hidden past, they became one of the coterie’s strangest yet most compelling couples.
Elizabeth / Devon / Van Helsing Devon’s obsessive devotion to Elizabeth clashes with Van Helsing’s brash intrusion into her life, while she skillfully plays both, drawing protection, passion, and power from each. Forced into uneasy cooperation against greater threats, the three share a charged mix of attraction and antagonism, their alliances shifting as often as their affections.
Luc Gossens / Philippe Chevalier Philippe, a disgraced Toreador turned circus stylist, saved Luc from the Camarilla’s grasp, and the silent Brujah became his protector. Their love solidified after Philippe’s brutal kidnapping, when Luc’s care broke through his own guarded nature. Haunted by the demon Ekron, Luc battled his darker urges with Philippe and Simone as his anchor. Together, they built a family that defied vampire nature, bound by loyalty, tenderness, and survival.
Jan Pieterzoon / Samuel Sharabi Jan and Samuel’s partnership is an unlikely but formidable alliance between an occult-obsessed Ventrue and a chaotic Sabbat Ravnos. Jan orchestrates Samuel’s rise to Archbishop, securing himself a spy and ally within the enemy sect, while Samuel pursues the revival of his clan.

Danya suffered the lost of every people she knew quite hardly... but Jonah's disappearance was something that simply she couldn't accept.
Danya and Luc go way back before London. They were together living in the circus Cernabog. She was the Magician’s assistant and he was the strongman and bodyguard of their group. Danya at the time relied a lot on him, as a protective figure like a big brother, but with their time in London they both grow up in very different ways.

My entry for the WoD HalloZine! hosted by @vampemoqueen
Anselm and Danya started as lovers first, before his madness drove them apart. She and her coterie had to kill him for the horrible things he had done... until he came back as a wraith to haunt Danya, revealing that Anselm was framed, and he was never the mastermind behind all that she had to endure, like the death of her sire and the circus burning down. She had killed an innocent man, and now he is back to torture Danya for her mistake... or maybe their love can even bend time and right the wrongs?
