I like to think this is his inaugural speech as Prince, and already the entire LA kindred population despises him

Reading on a bench (originally: Padon olvasva) 2024 Ink on paper

Strauss from Bloodlines.

This I imagine to be in the garden of the Chantry (which I headcanoned exists: here is my thought process of how I came to think that even though there is no way it fits into the street).

I know that having my signature and the year on the book looks a little suspicious; I promise he isn't reading my diary. He respects secrets more than that. I just like signing somewhere that the text fits into the picture.

*shakes tin can* penny for some magic dad headcanons?

[here you go, witchery parent, Maximum Stroganoff]

While he may seem stern, and he absolutely is, there are plenty of times where he lets things slide. Sometimes he wants to wait and see if his pupils will realize their mistakes and correct them. Other times he simply does NOT have the energy to deal with this nonsense. As long as it’s nothing that will either violate the masquerade or get the attention of his superiors he will be in his study until further notice.

The king of looking at something, walking out of the room for just long enough for everyone still in the room to get nervous before coming back into the room like nothing happened and sighs, “Very well. How can we correct this?”

Seems like he would be one of the more technology opposed kindred; but, while he might not be the most fond of it, he will at least give most things a try to varying success

Refuses to try video games, simply sees them as a waste of time. Doesn’t get too vitriolic with them unless they are actively intruding on his charges’ study time.

While he won’t send anything that he deems to be sensitive information, he actually is getting rather used to text messages or other messaging systems. Though, he doesn’t quite get how they’re supposed to go. Mostly, sends letter sized messages instead of being concise.

<( 🛝 )

( ??? )>

<( I have placed a slide in your direct messages. )

<( Is that not a gesture that is sent to comrades? )

(… the neonate is typing …)>

Puts charms on the more potent/ dangerous materials needed for experiments and rites. Basically the Tremere version of a childproof medicine bottle.

Has a blue blood/ elder vitae cabinet that he’s had to move to his room because they are only for special occasions or rites and until this chantry can learn not to sneak things from that pantry he will have to keep an eye on it! (Also so that he can sneak things from the pantry without being caught by someone else.) [also also chantry and pantry rhyme]

Though he might not show too many signs outwardly as to not betray his cool, calculated demeanor, you better believe that if he finds that someone outside the clan has been targeting his students and or close allies if he has them, it is not going to be pleasant. You know, he’s been meaning to create another gargoyle, a very, very, deformed one. What master wouldn’t commit vampiric war crimes for his apprentices after all.

Do you have any suggestions for writing Strauss? I was thinking of doing an LA by Night fanfic and I’m a little unsure of how to incorporate his old characterization from Bloodlines with the characters introduced in the series. Thanks a bunch!

So I wouldn't know about his LAbN characterisation, but I'll comment with what I've noticed of VTMB!Strauss and hopefully that will help!

He's a very rare character in that he's both very stoic, but also very expressive. His emotions don't really bleed into what he's saying, he keeps an even and professional tone... but his body language is something else entirely. He speaks with his hands, he leans back and forth, he moves his body around. When he's excited his voice will continue to have a bit of a calming drone to it, but his hands would probably act completely differently -- moving around quickly, maybe a clap, head moving all about the place.

He likes fledglings, he likes to teach, he likes to guide. He'd be a sterner teacher than most, I think, but would also adapt his technique to the student, and in exchange expect more from them. That part is speculation though.

He's a very good example of Nice Is Not Good. In VTMB he's the only person that treats the fledgling with an ounce of respect, but... he's also the character (that we know of) that's done the worst deeds, second to only Andrei -- he made a gargoyle, and gargoyles are made in a process that involves torture and agony for the Kindred that are made into one.

Along those lines he's also pragmatic. He doesn't see the point in swinging his dick around just because he can like other elders do. He treats people with polite respect regardless of whether or not they can do anything for him. He's also opportunistic -- when they can do something for him, he uses that respect to his advantage.

Wants power, but not in ways that are immediately obvious; he remarks that he's not interested in becoming Prince of LA (but will go for it when the opportunity presents itself later), but mentions that he aspires to far greater heights. We never find out what those heights are.

A lot of people suspect he's in LA either because he's in the "naughty corner" (LA seems to be the place that Camarilla send their most annoying members), or because he deliberately wanted to be away from the scrutiny of the rest of the Pyramid. Given that Kindred are pretty evil as a baseline, and that the Tremere are eviller still, this would indicate that Strauss would have to be a whole lot worse if he's either in trouble with or afraid of getting in trouble with the Pyramid. Like holy shit how depraved would you have to be to be worried about them getting mad at you? (Some have pointed out it might be because of the gargoyle, which could be true but also doesn't disprove my point here either.)

(That, or he's a potential defector, which is unlikely given that a Malk Fledgling comments on his loyalty to the Pyramid; he is clan before sect to the end.)

TL;DR: Affably Probably-Eviller-Than-Most-Tremere-Which-Is-Seriously-Saying-Something nerd who likes to teach, is very calm and controlled but very expressive with his body language and hands. Very chill, and strongly loyal to the Pyramid. Would torture your best friend to death For Science but be exceedingly polite to them in the process.

Not sure if that helps at all lol.

Oil (originally: Olaj) 2024 Watercolour on paper

It's one of those pictures that hasn't left my mind for months and needed to be done. For the sake of Tumblr's delicate sensibilities I'm not explaining my thought process this time. I'm sure Regent Strauss can have any number of reasons to pour oil over his hand. Maybe it's magically necessary.
