1.) What drives them? What's their ultimate goal?

29.) What feelings do they internalize?

44.) What lies do they tell others?

45.) What lies do they tell themselves?

For Parvati!

Eee! Thank you for asking! Sorry I may get a little wordy because Parvati is my quiet storm. Haha!

1.) What drives them? What's their ultimate goal? Parvati has lived a very long time. To have lived for so long had made her listless. In life before the Embrace, she had lived simply - a beautiful woman whose home was some place very remote, perhaps only meant to live and die as a wife and mother - but suddenly vampirism was thrust upon her at the whims of a passing stranger in the jungle. A strange twist of fate, a stroke of luck or an awful curse. She awoke in the dark with no answers, no reasons or whys, just hunger and pain. In her mind she probably thought about Death and dying all the time, though she didn't have the weakness nor strength to give into it on her own. So she wandered the world like a spirit amongst the animals, and feeling not much different when she came back to civilization. Her only moments of joy were then moments of danger when she came across a gutsy human or a fellow vampire, though she realized fast her mind had a lot of overwhelming power that nearly had no equal in those ancient days. Truly when she met with Harrakhty Hamdi, a Ancillae assassin serving the followers of Set, did she find an true equal. (This was in the BCE era of the world.) They fought one another across a few centuries, but fell in love and eventually threw aside the fighting in order to be together for eternity. Parvati found renewed purpose assisting Harri in his rise amongst the Setites, even meeting Set himself as he used to walk amongst his children in the early days. She is officially a Setite herself despite officially being a Ravnos - the queen to Harri's king, and serves Set in her own ways as she and Harri command their own den of adders in his name. Eventually, she even has a child with her husband that also gives her the newfound purpose of parenthood. She is driven by love, and her ultimate goal is her and her family's safety and happiness... which probably means the complete subjugation of humanity and the blotting out of the sun.

29.) What feelings do they internalize? Parvati is nearly completely internal. No one but her husband knows what she's thinking, how she's feeling. She is silent, unblinking, stalking like a cat. She has the bloodline power of Auspex, which gives her telepathy which she uses nearly exclusively with her husband. Harri is ultimately the mouthpiece of the entire local group of their sect, so that's fine with her. Harri though is completely given free reign of her thoughts and emotions, because she easily tears out his own with simply a thought. It's one of their reasons their marriage is so intense and unshakeable: ultimate vulnerability and true acceptance of their monstrous natures. Everyone else just gets a quiet, creepy hot lady.

44.) What lies do they tell others? Parvati barely speaks, therefore Parvati does not really lie. Harri is the liar, she just waits in the shadows until he's done playing with their food.

45.) What lies do they tell themselves? Parvati probably has to convince herself of Set's might every once in a while. Everyone has shakes in their faith, and while she's devoted and carries out orders from the higher ups of the clan, there are times where she may think "Is Set worth it?" Otherwise, Parvati lives pretty brutally honest. Being stuck inside one's own mind may do that.

🌠❤️💌 - For Willow!!!

emoji asks from this post! @ everyone feel free to send me more to get me thru this vacation <3

🌠 SHOOTING STAR - if they could make any wish with no repercussions, what wish would they make?

Any wish without repercussions would result in the falling of the Camarilla in Amsterdam due to the deaths of the Prince, Seneschal, Sheriff, and the Ventrue Primogen, and would lead to Willow being in charge, preferably with her revived-from-final-death Sire and Former Prince Grandsire aiding her.

❤️ RED HEART - their love language(s)?

The way she mostly shows affection to others is through physical touch and acts of service, which just goes hand in hand with quality time. Her preferred ways of being shown love are words of affirmation and physical touch, though.

💌 LOVE LETTER - do they like love letters? what kind of messages do they leave for their partner?

Willow is unsure of how she feels about love letters. She loves the idea of them, of having something physical made by someone she cares for that's meant just for her, but at the same time, she's come to learn that anything of that sort can and will be used against her by those currently in charge. Her almost partner does have an 'emergency' pager though... since he works security in the local SC. I'm not suggesting she'll be the girl who cried wolf, but maybe sometimes an emergency might mean she just really wanted to quickly kiss him...

📖👑📎 - for Cyril!!

📖 OPEN BOOK - do they like reading? what's their favourite genre?

He's a nerd. So yes. He tries to keep up with scientific journals and new information wrt his degree and it happens to be just about the only thing he does actually keep up with in the modern day (special interest). He's not averse to fiction though and one of the ways he masks his vampire identity is actually going to an evening book club. I think he probably has a guilty pleasure for detective novels and enjoys Poirot.

👑 CROWN - what does your oc want to be remembered as? why?

Being remembered implies that you're ever going to go away, and he's going to live forever baby!!!!

If he was asked this when he was still alive, he'd probably say his research into herpetology, but nowadays his ideas are a bit more lofty and he'd probably like people to remember him for the time he broke boundaries completely and redefined what is even thought possible. So he definitely can't die right now.

📎 PAPERCLIP - a random fact.

I like to think that he knew Charles Darwin personally due to them being in the same circles at about the same age, and he has a signed first edition copy of On the Origin of Species. Don't ask why it has his name personally signed. It was personally revolutionary to him though, because now Lamarckism was no longer the norm, or, god forbid, theistic evolution.

31.) for Charlie!

Hi Chiss!

31. Describe a scenario in which your character feels most comfortable.

In the dark, behind his computer. I am aware this is literally the Nosferatu archetype, but I do not care. This man already had severe social anxiety long before he got embraced and ugly, so he was already most comfortable behind his computer to begin with. His ideal night is to just sit there with his silly cat-eared headphones blaring Rammstein or Britney Spears on full volume, his heart shaped blue-light-filter glasses on the tip of his nose, trying to solve the puzzle that is the university firewall. If he has to talk to people, let it be via voice call where none can see his colourful getup.

Returning the favor! 💚💚💚

❤️🌹✨Happy Valentines Day!✨🌹❤️ Send this to all of your favorite mutuals who deserve some love this Valentine’s Day!❣️

hehe thanks bestie 💖✨

Here'a a comprehensive list of my many blogs as I have too many to just get rid of content:

•@thetardiswhoneverwas - Doctor Who blog. Technically my main blog, but I didn't want to alienate any of the people who'd originally followed me for Timelords and Paradoxes.

•@irradiated-brahmin-milk - Fallout blog. Seldom tagged.

•@the-chantry-stole-my-elfroot - Dragon Age. Mid takes galore.

•@perpetually-v - Cyberpunk blog (2077, 2020, Red)

•@dungeons-and-dreams - TTRPG blog (mostly D&D, but you'll find the occasional reference to other TTRPGs)

•@chiss-ticism (this one) - personal blog. You'll find it to be an excessively mixed bag, but it's mostly Star Wars stuff.

Would a Kieran born to Alistair/Morrigan also have a smidge of dragon's blood in him or would the joining have diluted it too much for it to be passed down?

I imagine he would have a smidge of dragon’s blood too, yeah

If, in some strange twist of fate, Fionn had ended up as the Warden or Hawke - what would he have done differently than those in his Worldstate? Who would he have romanced? (If anyone)

as grueling as it is to save the world from a blight, i think fionn would actually be much happier as a warden than as inquisitor! no public speaking, no buttering up nobles, just road tripping with the lads.

he would support bhelen, kill loghain/keep alistair as a warden, and probably romance him too! he would like ali’s down-to-earth snark and his kindness, and wouldn’t mind his rough edges since he knows what it’s like to be treated as an asset of little value by the people who were meant to have raised you.

his decisions would mainly be the kind and straightforward ones, and he would sacrifice himself at denerim, unless ali straight up begged to do morrigan’s ritual. fionn himself isn’t interested, and would never ask someone else to do that for him.

fionn would be very uncomfortable in hawke’s skin, not least because he should not, under any circumstances, ever be that tall.

but also because no matter which personality type they are, hawke is always a loudmouth who takes on kirkwall with words and showy acts of violence, and fionn... wouldn’t. he’s very sparing with both his words and his arrows, which doesn’t suit the role of hawke at all!

he would like romping around the city with varric, and enjoy helping people, but being surrounded by so much misery and corruption all the time would make him sick inside, never mind having a family and then losing it, and the burden of being champion. he’d be really miserable.

i can’t see him romancing anyone in da2—anders & fenris are both too heavy. merrill, bela, and varric would all be dear friends of his, though!

oh and he’d side with the mages. obviously. i didn’t raise a bootlicker

In-between doing Important Warden things™️ what does Sythia do in her free time?

See now you’re asking the hard questions. 

Pre game her time for hobbies was a little limited, at least as a young adult. That said, music was a big one for her. Shianni was always the Alienage songbird, but Sythia wasn’t half bad either. Put Soris on a lute and they could get a tavern dancing (and make a few coin besides).

During in game events, Sythia is chronic work married: when she’s not fighting darkspawn, she’s usually thinking about the next time she’s going to fight darkspawn. Spare moments in camp are usually spend taking out her frustrations on a nearby tree with her sword. That is, when Zevran isn’t doing his level best to find a more productive use for them. After 6 months or so she finally works up the courage to sing a little bit with Leliana, blushing all the while. She’s not much of a reader as she doesn’t have the patience to sit still that long, but she likes to hear Morrigan read to her.

Post game events, she finds she has a decent amount of free time on her hand that she doesn’t quite know what to do with. She teaches Kieran a little bit of swordplay once he’s old enough, although to her everlasting dismay he takes after his Papae, and prefers knives. She also takes up a bit of gardening, which she has a knack for, and whittling, which she is horrible at but finds relaxing anyways.

44: What is your character proud of?

Definitely her career.

Both her parents were military, and she was ROTC in high school, and joined up right after graduation to follow in their footsteps. Becoming a Marine, joining the N1 program, and making it to N7 were definitely some of the proudest moments of her life. She takes real pride in her abilities as a solider, physical and mental, and even before the events of the games, feels very secure that this is where she’s meant to be, what she’s supposed to be doing.

That would have been the case in any time, but it helps that she’s part of a space-faring program working to secure humanity’s place in an intergalactic community. She considers this an important duty and is proud of her contribution.

Ask me about Shepard

80 for the OC ask?

80. What is your OC’s favorite dinosaur?

Katherine - probably the only person who really would know anything about dinosaurs past like, pop culture references that survived the nuke - likes parasaurolophus which is a PROBLEM because i can STILL NOT SPELL THAT.

Do Parvati and Harri have any distinct opinions on the Camarilla, Sabbat, or the Anarch Movement?

UGHHH such an amazing question! Unfortunately Parvati is a bit more of a lurker, but I DID ask @thesixthplaneteer what Harrkahty had to say on the matter! Harri's opinions on the sects: Camarilla - I am over twice the age of the sect and they had the audacity to not let us [the Setites] join. It's a Euro-centric circle jerk that serves no purpose other than to subjugate vampire-kind to the Aeons. Fuck them. We just wanted to corrupt them from within anyways. Sabbat - They have the spirit but are a little confused. They are so close to realizing they are shackled, but just can't get there. The whole ruling over humanity and murdering the Antediluvians thing is pretty neat though. At least until they try to accuse Set of being one. They won't see reason on that point, so they have to be dealt with when they pop up. Anarch - Well if at first rebellion doesn't succeed, rebel again! But really all they have made is a disjointed pseudo-Camarilla. It makes me sick to my stomach that my beloved followers have had to align with them but it's not like you have to do anything to get in this club. Just whine about the Camarilla being unfair and call yourself an Anarch. By Set I wish Set was amongst us again.

@chiss-ticism asked, in response to this post:

and I really want to talk about it, so here we are. Clí has yet to frenzy. She's a fresh character, only three sessions deep into The Troubles in Londonderry. But when she does frenzy, it's going to be a whole world of hurt. Clíodhna is a Very Normal Ventrue, meaning she's literally not a Ventrue, but a mix of the regular V5 Malkavian and a V5 homebrew version of the Daughters of Cacophony. This has resulted in Clan Bane being a mix of the two, leading to a dementation in which the Fugue grows louder when she's under stress, and if it gets very bad(tm) it'll be accompanied by auditory and visual hallucinations that take shape of her father, two random pedestrians whose life she's taken by accident, and her late(?) lover William. Remember how Death is one of the things she's most afraid of? Yea, it's a great combination. It works out well also because she's so rooted in Shakespeare as a character. She draws inspiration from Romeo & Juliet in her and William's love story, the way she 'sees' ghosts is a tribute to Hamlet, and the V5 Daughters of Cacophony homebrew my ST sent me when I pitched Clíodhna to them, had a lovely flaw called 'Twitch', which forces upon you a tell that makes it harder to hide a certain emotion. With Lady Macbeth being the original inspiration behind Clíodhna, it was never a question what the situation would be. Out damned spot. Her fears and frenzies will lead to a bit of a vicious cycle. Which is fine. She's a Very Normal Ventrue, so she'll just go Yell At Someone and Dominate them into Submission... Curious to see if there's a limit to her fear....

Is Rose capable of speech like Goris?

yes! she was an experiment ran by the Enclave, around 2240 (maybe?) and she is a deathclaw who has human intelligence, tho her behavior is easily compared to a child? still, she can talk, understand and even joke just like any other human. after she lost her human ‘mom’ cause of some ‘bad humans’, she escaped and since then she is wandering around.

she can understand who are the good humans and bad humans, she wants to protect the good ones, even from her own kind, she can convince the other deathclaws to back out or.....she can anyway outpower them. doesnt seem to understand what is a ghoul, synth, and other humanoid robots, she still calls them ‘humans’.

15.), 36.), and 50.) for Archie!!

15. What kind of sense of humor do they have? Or do they have one at all?

Archie’s sense of humour is… I won’t say it’s non-existent, but it is rather dull. However, he does enjoy Monty Python, though he would never admit it.

36. Would they ever kill someone? Have they already?

If necessary? Without hesitation. He’s been trained in fencing and he knows everything there is to know about swords and how to use them with deadly precision, not to mention he got his magic to back him up. 

But he hasn’t yet. He has gotten close to killing himself once when he got in a car accident that left him in a coma, but that was one sided and no one else got hurt.

50. What is your favorite thing about them?

Oof that’s still hard to tell because I haven’t played him enough yet and I am still working out how the system itself works, so the things I like are mostly superficial. But then hoo boy where do I start? 

I like his design, I barely had to tweak it at all. I like his beard, I like his cane, I like his stature, and I really enjoy the nimbus mechanic of Mage the Awakening that allows me to try fun dramatic lighting. I like that you’re more likely to get a papercut when he’s around, I like that his magic smells like rust, and I like that his flares manifest as blazing eyes and the draining of colour from his immediate surroundings. I also like his accent, even though I’m garbage at it.

🖋️ + Hyacinth

•I can't really think of any “fun facts” to share about Hyacinth right now, but I will say this: oh! my god! she is testing me!!

I'm that girl who cries when I pick a dialogue option that sounds way meaner than what I intended, so doing a full renegade playthrough is kicking my ass. As someone with social anxiety and anger issues, it's admittedly a little cathartic at times. And yet, even though I've finally figured out enough of her motivation and personality to understand Why she's such a toxic rat bastard to everyone she meets, and it's finally gotten to the point where I instinctively hit the renegade choices without thinking about it because I know that's what she would do, that doesn't actually make it any easier to watch this woman alienate everyone around her in a fury of twisted survival instincts and toxic coping mechanisms. She will just do the most heinous shit with no remorse and I'm watching her like 🧍🏻‍♀️😳👀

Also it's extremely funny to me when people tell me "omg Ruby your new shep is so pretty😍🥰" congrats! that's the point! you've fallen into her trap! mwahahahaaa >:3
