René in WWI (early access)
Added 2021-11-01 18:19:41 +0000 UTCHello November, and hello to all the patrons for this month!
I wanted to attach some writing and explanation for this one, I might edit it in later, but my Malkavian René had been French a solider in WWI, which adds to his current trauma in the game.

Aaaaaand a bit self-serving. xD;There's a lot of competition for trench journals and Laurent is determined that everyone recognize that his is the best! Please praise his editorial section, he (un)lives for validation. fdafadsf l-like Adrien Brody, basically, since that's who I used as his faceclaim starting out. Black hair, a lovely aquiline nose, and very startling bright green eyes. I have a bunch of VtM characters (and Call of Cthulhu! You have excellent taste in ttrpgs), but if I ever get the opportunity to commission you, Laurent is probably the one I'd throw your way just because I LOVE the way you do eyes and I think you would really do his justice ; u ; (some of my previous commissions they've turned out more olive-y but I really want them more vivid and almost glowing, realism be damned!)

2021-11-05 02:36:24 +0000 UTCIf he ever ran across a scrawny French guy in his early 20’s with the really REALLY blue eyes who looked like he didn’t want to be there, then he probably saw René! If you say yes then I accept the headcanon!

2021-11-04 03:52:30 +0000 UTCMy Toreador Laurent was a soldier in World War I before he was embraced, too! I wonder if they ever served together haha 😊

2021-11-01 23:16:02 +0000 UTCThe color in this fits the mood perfectly. I can see how the sketch helped with it. Love the stoney glare Renee has. ^.^

2021-11-01 21:40:01 +0000 UTCThat totally makes sense and im still playing with different ideas. My vamp as he currently stands is a Toreador, and spends “human time” (lol) as a professor/archaeologist. His admiration focused mostly on ancient art and relics. So I feel like he’d need to be “alive” which also goes along well enough with Toreador. Still early in the character development phase but it’s a fun lore to delve deeper into for sure

2021-11-01 18:55:31 +0000 UTCI’m sure there’s mention of them somewhere in the books, I feel like they go over everything, but it could also depend on your character. Most of our coterie are officially ‘dead’ on paperwork, but René is still pretending to be alive because he lives off of his father sending him money. Eventually he’d have to ‘die’ on paper, but if your character is already dead on paper they wouldn’t be drafted.

2021-11-01 18:50:13 +0000 UTCAh. Interesting. I’ve been toying with some concepts for if I ever play and honestly, kinda forgot about the World Wars and how that would work being a vampire around the time

2021-11-01 18:33:08 +0000 UTCA couple of years before he was embraced. He was embraced on New Year’s Eve in 1919.

2021-11-01 18:23:05 +0000 UTCWas this before or after he was embraced?
