hi, op of the vtm hc post! i love hearing about other's characters- do you mind telling me about the Malk one of my headcanons reminded you of?

oh yes I’d love to!!!!

so these Malkavians are Alexander (nicknamed Faust) and his alternate personality Mephisto!

Faust was Embraced by chance because he was. Well. A murder victim to something completely unrelated to kindred. His sire was reacting to the violence in his domain and discovered him bleeding out, and in a moment of impulse decided to Embrace him.

Thanks to the whole “Just Died In A Violent Murder” thing right before the Embrace, he has a very unfortunate mixture of total amnesia and his derangement/bane being a second personality.

Faust unfortunately did not adjust well to kindred life and has not personally fed the entire few years since he’s been Embraced. His blood bond to his sire takes the form of fear (since I headcanon the bonds can be any positive/negative emotion and not just love/hate), so he rarely spends time with his sire and stays at another haven in the city.

Mephisto on the other hand, who only started existing the moment of the Embrace and has no memories of being human either, adjusted easily and considers himself as a protector or big brother figure to Faust. He’s the one who does all the feeding, he’s the one who visits their sire, he’s the one who manages to get the compact in trouble by taking action. Thankfully for the two of them they’re aware of what the other does.

Also they have a fun twist on the Cast No Reflection flaw where their reflection is just the other personality with a mind of their own. They talk to each other in the mirror a lot and other people can see the strange reflection. They share the same physical and mental stats though their social stats are swapped, and they have different Humanity ratings (which is why Faust constantly has the Blush while Mephisto does not).

While that game was going on they were some of my favorite NPCs and I’m very glad my players enjoyed them too, even if it took a while for their characters to discover they were a pair and not a single guy.

#oc stuff #vtmposting #so happy to talk about my OCs #I was telling someone else about Meph the other day #Not sure if I could ever get away with them as a PC but it’d be funny #this is leaving out the entire fun of Brujah Mom’s Childe Services #but I didn’t wanna detail the post #also since idk if/when it’ll pick up again #(too many games)#I’ll go ahead and share their last secret in the tags #They’re a Dominate Malkavian ahaha
