Coteries of New York By Night

[vtmttrpg]

I've seen people say how Isaac embraces his beast as a typical tzimisce and I do get that perspective, but to me it doesn't read like that.

The way he dodges around being violent unless pushed, his refusal to be anything less than civil unless his frustration gets the better of him, his rather innocent use of vicissitude, tries to quell the coterie's concerns that he's a monster (rationalize that he wants to protect the neighborhood to Fuego (albeit in his own way), telling Angela to be honest so Serif isn't uncomfortable, etc), he really doesn't read to me as someone who wants to relish in being as demented and beastial as possible. He also bites back at his beast a lot, not wanting to cause a scene despite its taunting and protest.

I don't think Isaac hates being a vampire at all, I just think he hates not having total control over his vampirism; and it bothers him. I think Isaac wants to feel like he's in the front seat at all times. Even when his beast takes over and overreacts (ie: smashing a guys face in the pavement and stealing things), Isaac tends to rationalize it in his head and seems to take pride in his coterie seeing him as a pinnacle of keeping it together.

But its clear to us as the audience that he isn't a master at it, far from it. He reacts to a lot of conflict in very human ways, even small spats between him and others and I think it truly comes from a place where Isaac feels like he has to have total control over his words, his actions, his emotions, and his beast.

isaac + fuego threatening his ghoul

okay i put something vague in the tags but i'm actually gonna expand--

I love Isaac's relationship with Michael and Angela, because I think it's a great demonstration of how the dividing line between Humanity and Beast isn't always so clean, and the two can easily shade into each other.

to Isaac Brooke, former mortal, Michael and Angela are his friends who he cares about and will protect. to Isaac the Tzimisce fledgling, Michael and Angela are his possessions that he doesn't like other people touching.

these two aspects of his relationship to them are in concert more often than they're in conflict, and so he slides almost seamlessly between one and the other--when it's even possible to distinguish between them at all. it creates this dynamic where he's playing the part of a benevolent boss, but with a sort of uncanny-valley edge to it where you're not sure how much is genuine care and how much is just a sense of etiquette on his part. it's fascinating to watch.

People don't like my clan. It scares them, they don't know what it is, they don't like it, apparently it's rare. [...] You know, other people know--just don't go spreading it around.
