Vampire: the Masquerade - The Sabbat [Rated R]

Here's what I was thinking at the present point; commentary would be most definitely welcome, since it's all a bit rough-hewn at the moment:


Ramon Massó

An ambitious artist, both following in the footsteps of and idolising Salvador Dali. His chosen medium is sculpture, and was quite willing to plumb the depths to spark his inspiration, a trait which has led him into addiction and degradation behind a cool facade.

He has acquired a degree of infamy in the past years, regarded as something of an enfant terrible (or should that be el niño revoltoso?), and has run with a distinctly political slant to his art and publicity. In fact, he mirrors in a number of ways the approach of the French surrealists who shunned his distant mentor, though his chosen cause is that of Catalan nationalism.

His Embrace came from a Malkavian antitribu who was quite the fan. The Freak been feeding from him for a few months, the blood loss fuelling him into a maelstrom of creativity, when the call to the creation rites went out. The rather lazy Cainite simply took the most convenient prey on a walk, "to get some air", and the rest was much as may be expected.


Thoughts? Ideas?

Regards,

Barry

I like it. :)

Salvador Dali is a nice touch and quite fitting. The Catalan nationalism should prove to be an interesting slant on things depending on the political leanings of the rest of the group.
 





How long have we been vampires?

Also, are we using the Vicissitude as a disease rules from the player's Guide to the Sabbat?

*Ash has relocated two of his ribs to his right arm and sculpted them into the form of a serrated blade of bone. By restructuring his forearm muscles, he is now able to make the foot long blade emerge from the back of his hand or re-sheath itself in his forearm. When sheathed, his forearm looks slightly deformed as its muscles have been rearranged to allow for the blade. He has sculpted his left arm in the same manner, but it contains no blade. He did this for ascetic purposes so that both arms look the same.

Appearance
At first glance, Ash looks like the typical street punk of the times. He looks to have been embraced in his late teens or early twenties. Being a tattoo artist in his semi-mortal life, he is covered in various forms of “tribal art” and imagery. The centerpiece, is a black sun adorning his chest, with various patterns radiating outward. Dragons intertwine down his arms and it seems the only place free of art is his face.

As a revenant of the Bratovich family, he had learned a bit about the fleshcrafting arts even before his embrace into Clan Tzimisce. Born an unattractive child, Ash has made great strides to rectify this. His body is perfectly symmetrical and he could easily pass for a model where it not for the tattoos and other modifications. These other modifications take the form of bone spurs at the end of each elbow, his shoulders, and a row of tiny spikes emerging from his sternum and ribs. In fact, his ribs have been fused together into a solid plate and excess bone has been relocated to his shoulders to form a sort of subdermal armor. Smaller changes take the form of sharpened, black fingernails and eyes that appear to be solid black orbs.

In private, Ash wears a dark red and black robes cut to accent his heavily modified body. In public, he wears black leather pants, combat boots, and a long black leather trench coat. No matter what time of year, he wears no shirt underneath the coat. He prefers to show off his body art. He does however; wear a pair of small ruby red John Lennon style sunglasses when in public to cover his frightening eyes. His preternatural senses are only slightly hampered by wearing the glasses at night.

He has long black hair that is typically worn in dozens of tiny braids. His hair is very short on the sides and in the back and the length of his hair on top hangs down to the middle of his back. Intricate patterns adorn both sides and the back of his head. However, unless his hair is pulled up, you wouldn’t know the sides and back where so short.


Background

Ash came to Spain from Romania in 1972. His family was in the service of an influential Tzimisce who required them to make the move with him. Mere days after their arrival, their master Zantoff Dracov was diablorized by his childe, Deitrich. Deitrich had no use for the revenant family at the time, and so left them on their own.

The Bratoviches, along with Ash, decided to stay in Barcelona and make a new life for themselves free of their undead master. However, a year ago, Deitrich decided to check up on the former servants of his sire. When he encountered Ash working in a tattoo parlor, he decided the young revenant might make a good candidate for the embrace.

Ash was definitely different from the others his age. His revenant heritage gave him incredible strength, health, and he had managed to learn a little about the art of fleshcrafting. Despite this, he kept his background secret and went on to attend collage like a normal human though he knew there was more out there for him. It seemed Spain had a lot more to offer than the backwoods hills of Romania.

Ash continued going to school and with his work at the parlor, unknowing that he was being watched. His studies in the fields of science and philosophy, as well as his aptitude with the flesh, kept Deitrich interested. Finally, a mass embrace was to be held, and he decided to give Ash the gift of immortality.

Ash survived the ordeal, and quickly began adapting to life as a vampire. He had always known about them, but was never allowed to take part. Now was his chance. Unlike most fledglings, Ash took to his new form with zeal. Life had just gotten a lot more interesting.

Detrich has been the hand guiding him through this new unlife. He has already taught him more than he could ever imagine about the flesh shaping arts and has recently been talking to him about something called the Path of Metamorphosis and the destiny of his kind.

Send some Vicissitude my way!

Anyway, I'm still flipping back and forth between the two choices...I think I'll do them both up fully and then decide. I updated the assamite one with a new name and history.

They both have something which appeals to me and that makes it difficult. lol too bad I can't play both of them! :( :p
