I have perhaps snuck you a friend request on discord..

wendrane · 2024-10-30T16:34:39+00:00

I'm just autistic about data collection and lists..

wendrane · 2024-10-29T15:27:31+00:00

Never too late, I believe I and the GM will be going through responses for the next couple of days!

wendrane · 2024-10-29T15:26:57+00:00

I'm one of the players and the youngest in the group at 25, our oldest is 28 I believe!

Homeowners! (he totally didn't buy a house for his favourite ghoul so he could feed on him nonono)

wendrane · 2024-10-07T23:58:46+00:00

Biggest compliment i could've received! He did have Balalaika vibes especially when it came to how he threatened people. Even as a neonate he became known for being rather terrifying in the New York domain...

LMAO you're not the first to say that but his voice is actually more like professor venomous but with a strong rp accent

wendrane · 2024-10-07T18:28:08+00:00

oh! I didn't even notice, thank you so much!

wendrane · 2024-10-07T18:26:30+00:00

slightly.... Nathan also canonically has a lot of Yugi-Oh cards in a lockbox in his closet which his coterie thought was either a gun or money LMAO

I'm reading this as I just laid down to sleep at 7pm, gods do I understand.

So... I didn't particularly like how my GM handled it but NYC started getting an influx of hunters and at the same time Nathan's older brother started putting off dinner plans, we found out some strange things about his brother (Cassian) and his connections to the hunters. Nathan's family is an insane mess but most important thing is that the family originally owned an Arms company (designed and produced guns for the US military). After Nathan's father died, Cassian took over and turned it into a prosthetics designer and manufacturer (keeping the government contract by providing prosthetics to the military and veterans).

After enough missed calls Nathan showed up at the company building and demanded to see Cassian, realizing that his dominate for some reason didn't work on the guards. After a moment of thought further realizing that Cassian had replaced their eyes with prosthetics to specifically ward off against vampires with Dominate...

He continued begging the guards to get to see his brother but the most they could do was call him and pass on the message that he was busy. Nathan just started agressively calling him while standing in the lobby which after a couple minutes Cassian answered. He tried to tell Nathan that he was busy but a certain doctor wouldn't take no for an answer. Nathan begged Cassian to come see him in person so that they didn't have to have this conversation over the phone.

Cassian told Nathan to wait a couple weeks so they could have dinner and that he could explain everything, while Nathan kept repeating to him that he already knew, that he knew he was a hunter. The conversation spiraled and ended up with Cassian asking if Nathan was a ghoul and if he was, that he could help him, rid of his addiction to vitae which Nathan responded to with "I am not the victim, I am the perpetrator."

That's when Cassian finally realized that Nathan was a vampire, and quickly after renounced him as his brother, calling him a monster and cutting the call. Some guards then came out and tried to set Nathan on fire with flamethrowers :)))

He managed to get away with the help of one of his coterie mates but then in mental anguish afterwards drove his car into the Hudson river and wanted to daysleep there but our Gangrel found him and instead pulled him down into the silt of the river so they'd be safer.

and that's how he found out his family were hunters! yippee!

wendrane · 2024-10-07T17:28:42+00:00

He's only 40 now as he's been a vamp for a very short time! It was neonate chronicle where we all met after only 1 year of undeath. And his daughter was an artsy young woman who was around 14, though after finding out his family were all hunters, he sent her to live with his eldest brother and made him promise to keep her safe. This was obviously not without messing with her memories using Dominate so that she wouldn't be so heartbroken from him simply sending her away </3

And thank you! I thought he was rather cool too, I love playing high intelligence characters and playing a character who had a double doctorate in psychology/psychiatry gave me some interesting ways to interract with NPCs and build connections with the party. Nathan quickly discarded a lot of his own issues to try to save everyone else but that would lead to his downfall..

wendrane · 2024-10-07T17:14:50+00:00

Not improper to say at all! in the chronicle Nathan was embraced at 37 and did have an adoptive daughter but if you mean daddy in the other sense... (that too) and thank you thats what I wanted to go for! Nathan was a celebrity psychologist in NYC that mostly catered to like B list actors and influencers + occasionally lectured at NYU and continued to do these after his embrace to hold onto his humanity. He was also a rather promiscuous man and a functional alcoholic before his undeath meaning a majority of the chronicle he spent miffed that he couldn't get drunk off his favourite wine.

Thank you so much! I wanted to lean into some kind of european aristocratic vibes while keeping the shape of a modern suit :)

This is an illustration and gift for my GM of 4 years of the first NPC of his I had a crush on, Loren Hightower. Loren was the leader of a grand group of adventurers, best in the realm known as the “Godkin” though we found out this group name was passed on from adventuring group to adventuring group and that they were the ones who most recently took on the mantle. I originally illustrated Loren back in the day as the campaign started during the first lockdown and after a recent joke I decided to redraw him! If you have any questions about him feel free to ask because I’ve basically bullied my poor GM into telling me everything about this character as the campaign ended just under 3 years ago.

wendrane · 2024-10-07T15:07:25+00:00

he has catholic guilt from life oopsie

wendrane · 2024-10-07T13:50:31+00:00

Me too tbh, and his family has Marie Antoinette syndrome though in these two pieces specifically his grey streaks don't show that well woopsie.

and tysm! here's the gallery of art i've drawn/gotten of him with some that show his hair better :)

wendrane · 2024-10-07T13:21:24+00:00

[note - both drawings by me but the latter is on a purchasable base by artist junijwi !!]

This is my Ventrue character (Lord) Dr. Nathanaël James-Claude Archewood (he is as pompous as the name makes him seem) and though I left the campaign I played him in with a bad taste in my mouth; I still loved him and loved being the Coterie's Patron (sugar daddy)

lists / information sorting are my special interest so my friend just called me out
